Nintendo's Japanese customer service Twitter account Then again – in this case it issued a warning about disinfecting the switch and Joy-Con controllers with alcohol, after receiving numerous questions asking if it was safe. Here is the full message, courtesy of Kotaku:
Recently, customers have been asking if they can relieve their Nintendo Change and Joy-Cons drugs with alcohol. We apologize for saying that you should not use alcohol as it may cause plastic parts to disappear in color or become deformed.
Sheets and wipes with no alcohol are also advised:
We would also not recommend using sheets that do not contain alcohol, depending on the ingredients, which may damage the plastic parts.
If you're wondering what to clean with Nintendo Switch at this time, the recommendation is "dry cloth" – but hey, if that's not enough for your liking, you can always use the way the company advises.
Earlier this week, the same Twitter account revealed that Nintendo had just received reports of an increase in credit card fraud.
