As it turns out, her son liked to collect stickers that came with a specific brand of chocolate bars, and part of his prized collection of stickers was pasted directly onto his handheld Switch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u4efb\u5929\u5802Switch\u304c\u58ca\u308c\u305f\u304b\u3089\u4fee\u7406\u306b\u51fa\u3057\u305f\u3093\u3060\u3051\u3069\u2026\u591a\u5206\u672c\u4f53\u4ea4\u63db<br><br>\u305d\u3057\u305f\u3089\u306d\u3001Switch\u306b\u8cbc\u3063\u3066\u3042\u3063\u305f\u3069\u30fc\u3067\u3082\u3044\u3044\u30b7\u30fc\u30eb\u304c\u4e01\u5be7\u306b\u5265\u304c\u3055\u308c\u3066\u30d5\u30a1\u30a4\u30ea\u30f3\u30b0\u3055\u308c\u3066\u8fd4\u3063\u3066\u6765\u305f\u3002<br><br>\u3082\u3057\u304b\u3057\u305f\u3089\u5927\u4e8b\u306a\u3082\u306e\u304b\u3082\u3057\u308c\u306a\u3044<br>\u3082\u3057\u304b\u3057\u305f\u3089\u60f3\u3044\u51fa\u306e\u30b7\u30fc\u30eb\u304b\u3082\u3057\u308c\u306a\u3044<br><br>&quot;\u30b2\u30fc\u30e0\u306f\u5b50\u4f9b\u306b\u3068\u3063\u3066\u3068\u3066\u3082\u5927\u5207\u306a\u5b9d\u7269\u3082\u306e\u3060&quot; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wN4Kq7VU0e\">pic.twitter.com\/wN4Kq7VU0e<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u82e5\u6797\u53f2\u6c5f (@fumie_doru) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/fumie_doru\/status\/1831873051958636660?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the console was quite damaged, the mother warned her son that the stickers would probably not survive the repair process \u2013 which was disappointing news for the kid. However, when they received the repaired Switch from Nintendo, the two were surprised to find the stickers neatly placed inside a file in perfect condition. It seems someone at Nintendo had painstakingly removed the stickers from the console without damaging them and preserved them for the kid.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it turns out that this is not a one-time thing, but perhaps a policy. In response to the mother\u2019s story, several people on X have shared similar experiences of Nintendo\u2019s customer support sending back their salvaged stickers, replying to handwritten letters from children, and even returning forgotten cash that had been hidden away in battery cases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe stickers are something a grownup wouldn\u2019t care about.
