GameStop Nintendo Switch 2 stapler auction

We have an update on the situation that happened last month in which one specific GameStop location damaged Nintendo Switch 2 systems with a stapler, as now the retailer is auctioning off the first unit that was impacted. Fortunately, it’s all for a good cause.

To get you caught up to speed, one GameStop store thought it’d be a good idea to staple receipts to the boxes. What they didn’t realize is that by doing so, the stapler went through and hit the Nintendo Switch 2 screen. Anyone who was impacted received a free replacement, but since it was a bit of a strange story, the news circulated online.


Fast Fusion 1.4 update Photo Mode

Fast Fusion is still receiving post-launch update from Shin’en, and the company has now revealed details about an incoming version 1.4 update that’s highlighted by a Photo Mode. All players can access it tomorrow, July 10.

Photo Mode will operate in a similar fashion to other game. That means players will be free to move the camera around the action, chose their preferred angle, and apply unique frames.

The full rundown of the update is as follows:

Nintendo shared new data this week revealing the top 20 best-selling games on the Japanese Switch 2 and Switch eShops for June 2025.

This was Nintendo Switch 2 launch month, meaning we have first results for the system. Mario Kart World is unsurprisingly at the time, but you might be interested to know that Tamagotchi Plaza is right behind it. Tamagotchi Plaza also managed to take the top spot for the original Nintendo Switch.

The full lineup of Japan’s best-selling games on the Switch 2 and Switch eShops for June 2025 is as follows:

July 2: According to a report from The Verge, Nintendo Switch 2 has a new encryption scheme and some form of dedicated encryption chip, which has broken third-party docking.

The console, of course, comes with its own dock. However, as The Verge points out, “Nintendo has also broken compatibility with portable docks that you can take on vacation or to your hotel room, and with video glasses like the Xreal One”.


As Nintendo and Amazon continue to mend their relationship, it seems that the retailer is gearing up for its first opportunity to sell the system to customers in the United States.

You can’t purchase the console immediately, which isn’t surprising given how other retailers have handled the situation. Currently you can request an invite for the Mario Kart World bundle or the standard system. Those that register – if they’re selected – will receive an email with a link that’s valid for 22 hours. Note that if you aren’t selected during this round of invites, your request is still eligible to be selected in future rounds so you don’t need to submit another request for the next three months.
