Do you remember when we were young when we played games with many Gameboy machines when we felt that the game cartridge was not working well enough? The first thing we usually do to fix a problem is to either blow air into it or insert a cotton bud into either the cartridge slot or the cartridge itself. Hopefully it’s clean and the game can play normally. But did you know that Nintendo itself doesn’t recommend that we do that! According to a recent Nintendo Japan Twitter post, the Nintendo Switch warns users about cleaning the game cartridge compartment below. The message on Twitter states that “Inside the Switch’s game cartridge slot is a disc that reads data from the game cartridge. and if you try to clean it with a cotton swab or inserting a deformed or damaged game cartridge. may cause damage to the receiving disc That’s why we don’t recommend putting anything in there. It is recommended to only use a vacuum cleaner for cleaning. It is not recommended to use the method of blowing air from our mouth into the cavity. Because the saliva may catch on the data receiver inside and cause rust. Because it is information that goes against what we have believed since childhood. Because of course, all the young gamers must have had the experience of blowing air into cleaning the game cartridge slot or the game cartridge itself once. And even Nintendo itself when making the Super Mario Bros. 25th anniversary ad featured a child blowing air into the game cartridge. What do you guys think about this?
