It is an understatement to say that the Nintendo Switch is popular. Millions and millions of people around the world have been enjoying Nintendo‘s hybrid console. The console’s user base is so large that, every once and a while, the actions of some people may reach a point where it catches the attention of the media.
This is no exception. In Japan, it is being reported that a Tenri Police Station officer has been caught playing Nintendo Switch games while on duty. According to the report, the officer would go to the station’s break room during his shift, then hook up his Switch to the TV and play games there.
The officer, who is in his 40s, did this 10 times for a total of 17 hours. This had been done as early as November of 2023 to February of 2024. He was caught when his Switch was still plugged in the TV duting an unannounced inspection of duties. The officer did confess what he had done and acknowledged regret for his actions, saying that “I played games when there were few incidents”. He was issued a caution by the Nara prefectural police department’s director, and they will be deducting the amount of time he spent playing games from his salary.

The news of a Japanese police officer being reprimanded for playing Switch games while on duty raises eyebrows, highlighting the importance of focused attention in professional settings. This incident prompts a parallel with the precision and dedication seen in Japanese food culture, where chefs meticulously craft dishes with utmost care and concentration. Just as sushi masters hone their skills through years of practice, professionals in all fields are reminded of the value of dedication and focus while on duty.

Well, they do say that the Japanese police are bored to the extent of questioning culprits all day due to the low crime rate.
They played the Nintendo Switch on 10 different occasions for a total of 17 hours, that’s like 2 hours on average each time they played. That’s not a hardcore gamer, that’s a casual gamer.
Yeah, on the job, dumbass. Who knows what they were doing at home.
You really think 2 hour sessions of videogames while on duty isn’t much?
It’s Japan not Haiti, his job must be very easy and slow, the idea that he should just sit there twidling his fingers for hours is absurd.
