Summary

Nintendo Switch 2 cartridges will taste bad to deter consumption.
The taste deterrent coating is not harmful, but will definitely make you spit it out if put in the mouth, accidentally or otherwise.
It does need some salt, though.

We learnt a lot about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch 2 during the Direct. From 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Game Chat button to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Joy-Con doubling up as a mouse, the next generation Nintendo portable console is loaded with features and will support a number of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:first party and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:third party games. However, there were some things that Nintendo didn't discu✅ss in the Direct.

If Cyberpunk 20🎃77 Can Run On The Switch 2, I Bet Anything Can

Ni𓆉ntendo is setting a big precedent with Cyberpunk 2077 on the Switch 2🐻.

For instance, the Direct did not mention 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:if the Joy-C💃on 2 will feature Hall effeꦏct sticks, but it was 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:later confirmed that they didn't. However, we recently learned that the Switch 2's cartridges will feature a rather strange safety feature. Nintendo has purposefully ensured that the cartridges will taste bad to avoid unintentional🥃 consumption. Of course, this is specially in place for children, but who here hasn't felt like popping one into their mout🐠h like a chip? Please don't.

Nintendo Switch Cartridges Will "Purposefully" Taste Bad

Nintendo has revealed that in order▨ to deter pets, children, and perhaps even some adults from consuming the cartridges, they have been coated in something that makes them taste absolutely awful. I assume plastic and circuitry doesn't taste that great anyway, but this๊ coating ensures that if someone were to take it in their mouth accidentally or on purpose, they will spit it back out.

"We don't want anybody to be at risk of any unwanted consumption," said Nintendo's Takuhiro Dohta to . "We have indeed made it so that if it enters your mouth, you'll spit it out." While the taste of this substance is bad, it is not harmful. ""When the Nintendo Switch was bein♌g developed, I did lick it once, but never again. I can't believe that other people are trying that," said Kouichi Kawamoto.

Nintendo hasn't rev🔥ealed what this substance is, but the original Switch's cartridges were coated in denatonium benzoate, a substance farmers use to ensure cattle don't eat th🍬eir crops. It gives off a terrible taste, but leaves the crop unaffected.

Of course, the community's reaction to this was quite hilarious. "For $80 they could at least make the games taste good." said one comment, poking fun at 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the price of the console and games. "I miss the old Nintendo, when Minish Cap tasted like𓆉 fruit,⛄ though admittedly still kinda like plastic."
