Nintendo Will Stop Selling The Original Switch In Europe Next Year

Its time for Europe to start saying goodbye to the OG Switch. In 2023, the European Commission voted on a resolution that requires all portable electronics sold in the region to have user-replaceable batteries. The regulation goes into effect starting in 2027, giving manufacturers time to make whatever adjustments are necessary ahead of the deadline. For Nintendo, that means discontinuing the sale of the original Switch in February 2027.
