Nintendo Switch “Warping” According to User Reports

According to some users on Reddit, the Nintendo Switch console appears to be bending from heat, or warping, when kept in its dock too long. A photo originally posted by user _NSR  on Reddit shows their Switch is no longer straight after long gaming sessions.

Other users have also chimed in, some who have already contacted Nintendo’s support about a fix or replacement. There has been no official word from the company yet about this particular issue.

Have you noticed this issue, Switch owners?

  1. i’ve been keeping the switch constantly moving from dock, hand and table
    but mostly i keep it docked and never manhandle it

    but oh joy another thing to worry about

  2. Hopefully Nintendo addresses this issue soon, it would be pretty terrible to have Switch users’ experiences to be ruined already by the bending.

  3. Nintendo has to release a new better dock and it has to compensate the earlier adopters like me. I had scratches in the screen, heat issues (the dock covers the back coolers) and frame rate drop because of that. We need an alternate dock, or just a cable to connect it to the TV and power.

  4. So today…
    I got paralyzed twice on a crucial move in the same match. Scizor didn’t break through and get a OhKO after getting paralyzed by thunderbolt… than when the guy got cocky it happened again

    Another game I have an easy raikou sweep and a Keldeo gets a crit Hydro Pump

  5. Offensive Decidueye is best Decidueye confirmed. I’ve gotten to 1300 with it and it wins me games frequently

      • (It actually can live knock off from Gliscor, something I learned the hard way… especially with a Z-Crystal)
        But it’s still actually quite good. It’s Z crystal is flat out one of the best in the entire game, enough to bolster its viability a ton

          • Trust me, if you know a mon has knock off, don’t leave it in. If you do, you deserve to lose it…
            Plus, it’s very obvious to tell what mons run it and what don’t
            To be entirely frank, Pursuit is the move that tends to kill it. If you know a mon has it, you just play it more carefully, like I do with my Araquanid around mantine or Honckrow

  6. Now that we’ve pretty much gone through Sun and Moon, what would be your 6 pokemon you’d take with you on your journey? Spanning all regions?

  7. Decidueye gets smack down….
    Picture the image of a Decidueye smacking a Ninjask out of the sky by sniping it

    • Montiki and Kongidol, though the latter’s not the best. Like I feel it just needs one less letter to sound like a pokemon name. Like Konidol, or Kongdol or something, though those arn’t great. Its just the issue that you can see it as two separate words rather then a mashup of the two.

      • i know but the reason i might need to change them to avoid clashing with my Monk/Shaolin Warrior Monkey Monkii and Wufookong (Which are Fighting/Psychic and the concept i just love too much to scrap)

        Reply
          • the coolest part about Wufookong is that they’re blind by choice
            they fight solely on extreme heightened senses and they do it by keeping their eyes shut

            if they ever open them, they are overwhelmed by the surroundings and go into a frenzy

        • I said conversion
          And honestly? Splash isn’t nearly as good as people make it out to be…. unless gyrados uses it… but besides that

          • Mimikyu is literally an easy kill for me every time I fight it. It’s stupidly easy to counter

          • It is though with
            -anything that lowers Attack
            -anything with intimidate
            -anything that can burn or paralyze it
            -anything that’s naturally faster
            -a steel type

            Basically a lot of things. I’ve literally NEVER lost a single mon to a Mimikyu in competitive before

    • Flynium-Z salamance and Grassium-Z Volcarona work great for me.
      And I’ve also seen Grassium-Z Heatran and Flynium-Z Gyarados a lot.

  9. kind of happy I didnt buy this at launch right now with some of the issues going on. hopefully they can be fixed soon

      • You’re the last person I expected to say that since you said you don’t preorder for this reason, but yeah. In a survey (correct me if I’m wrong), 4% of users reported problems, which is pretty good against the 10% of the PS3 and the 52% of the Xbox 360.

          • No, don’t get me wrong, I know that. Which is why it’s suprising to hear you say that it’s only a small percentage.

          • I think she acknowledges it, but just doesn’t want to be part of that small percentage (and I agree).

          • That’s understandable. Who knows, my Switch could be bent by the end of the week, and if so, I only have myself to blame (and Nintendo, I guess). I just adopted it early out of a nagging concern that there might be low stock and I wouldn’t be able to pick it up after they work out the kinks.

      • i am so sorry for replying so late. and you are right but with my luck it would happen to me lol I am one of the ones who got a defective ds lite that randomly broke in half. was literally walking through my local mall(which is now gone rip) playing pokemon emerald and it just randomly broke in half.

      • oh you lot are being ridiculous
        This is a minor flaw to those who aren’t careful with the equipment, every new console could potentially have errors and we need people buying them early to scout them out to send feedback

  10. Nope, mine’s been flawless. And while it’s not a reason to disregard the complaints of those who seem to be having issues, a large majority of Switches work fine.

  11. I’m planning on buying Switch, if they release a pokemon game to it, I hope switch doesn’t have major issue when Pokemon releases
