Despite being a very common habit among players, it is important to note that blowing the cartridges was not an official solution recommended by Nintendo. In fact, the company explicitly warned against this practice. The act of blowing created moisture and condensation in the cartridge, which could potentially cause further damage over time.
Despite this, blowing cartridges has become a kind of ritual for many gamers. It was a quick attempt to resolve connection issues and allow the game to play without interruption.
While it wasn’t an ideal solution and could do damage over time, for many players this was a technique that worked well enough to allow the fun to continue.
In addition, players also try to clean their consoles with a cotton swab, but Nintendo does not advise this practice either, as the hygiene item can get stuck in the equipment. Noting this habit of its customers, the company published a bulletin about the risks. Check out the explanation:
“In the game card slot, there is a terminal to read the game card. If you clean this with a cotton swab or insert a game card with a broken terminal, it can get stuck in the terminal and break. Please do not touch the inside of the game card slot. If dust gets into the Game Card slot, use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum it up. Please don’t blow on it. Saliva can adhere to the terminals and cause parts to rust or corrode.”
