As already mentioned, some of the Nintendo Switch UI videos that have surfaced online the past week have been taken with a stolen console. The Japanese company managed to get to the bottom of the matter swiftly to prevent something similar from happening again.
Earlier this week, individuals claimed to prematurely purchase a small number of Nintendo Switch systems from an unspecified retailer. Nintendo has determined these units were stolen in an isolated incident by employees of a U.S. distributor, with one system being illegally resold. The individuals involved have been identified, terminated from their place of employment and are under investigation by local law enforcement authorities on criminal charges.
The Nintendo Switch launches on March 3rd in all regions. We will keep you updated on the console as soon as more comes in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
