The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming out in a few days. The wait isn't long anymore, and communication is going well among retailers. And of course, Nintendo Switch 2 in transit means Nintendo Switch 2 in the wild. The first unboxing video reportedly appeared online this week, giving a glimpse of what might be inside the box. But beware, launching the console would be impossible without a patch that Nintendo hasn't yet released.
The first unboxing of the Nintendo Switch 2?
As we know, games and game consoles are available early for some lucky people. Thefts, connections, delivery errors—the reasons are numerous, but the next few will prove difficult for Nintendo. Expectations are high and players are impatient. And although players who have already succumbed to pre-orders still have to wait a few days to get their hands on the Nintendo Switch 2, the console is already in the wild.
As reported by Kotaku, an internet user has already posted the alleged unboxing of a Nintendo Switch 2. A video of less than 8 seconds, simply titled "Nintendo switch 2 unboxing" published by a user named a2dubai, shows us the possible box of the Switch 2, placed on a table next to the original Switch. The author of the video opens the box to reveal some of the contents: a Switch 2 screen and the Joy-Con.

A video regularly deleted for copyright reasons that reappears here and there. But as the author of the video explains, the Nintendo Switch 2 is locked and requires an update to work. a2dubai therefore claims to wait until June 5 to unlock it. Of course, many internet users have been calling for a complete unboxing of the box. But it's possible that a2dubai risks more by continuing its unboxing than by stopping there.
Furthermore, Nintendo has no plans to provide a console well in advance of its release to content creators and journalists. "Another person told me they also have a Nintendo Switch 2," explains Wario64 on X. “I don't have permission to post photos, but I can tell you that when she tries to start a Switch 1 game, a message asks her 'Please connect to the internet and update your system.' An update is required to start a game. The update is required to start a game."
In any case, the next few days are likely to be complicated for Nintendo, with a Nintendo Switch 2 already in the wild. The most curious will undoubtedly try to make it work by any means possible, although it seems that the manufacturer has taken effective measures.
