Did you know that it’s possible to intentionally crash your Nintendo Switch 2? Fans shared that discovery on social media this week and it seemed to gain a lot of interest.
Doing so actually seems to be pretty simple. If you open and close the amiibo screen in the system settings quickly and repeatedly, Nintendo Switch 2 crashes. No one can say at the moment why this happens, but the console doesn’t like something here and forces a restart. After rebooting the system, it’ll thankfully turn back on as if nothing happened – which is what you would want in this situation.
Below is a look at the method in action:
We imagine that with the attention this has been getting over the past few days, Nintendo will come out with a system firmware update to address the issue. The company will likely see it as a bug that needs to be fixed. Nintendo is no stranger to system stability after all.
All of this said, although there doesn’t seem to be any long-term harm, but we can’t really recommend doing this Nintendo Switch 2 crash as there’s nothing to be gained from it.
