Switch 2 now allows users to replace the battery themselves; EU version supports “right to repair”

Nintendo is aligning its “right to repair” policy with the Nintendo Switch 2 game console to reduce its environmental impact. First, in accordance with European Union (EU) legislation, the company will modify the console’s specifications to allow consumers to easily replace the battery. In the future, Nintendo may also implement similar policies in Japan and the United States if consumer awareness of the right to repair increases.
