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?

    • *sigh*

      Yeah, I just found out about this. I’m gonna wait, as much as I want to play it there’s no way I’m gonna emulate a game that isn’t even out. It is really dissapointing though, we’re over a month away. . .

      • Ehh, it is what it is. If anything its kinda nice since it’ll give people a taste as to what Gaiden 2.0 is like and allow people to better set their expectations so we don’t see Awakening era fan’s upset that its so different, and post kaga fans stop claiming that this is “classic” fire emblem. That and blame IS and nintendo for not having better security.

          • Who knows. My guess would be that it was uploaded in advance to the digital store, it wasn’t secure enough and someone managed to hack in and get the rom files. From there its simply a matter of having either a working emulator or a Japanese 3DS and a little knowledge about hacking and you could play it.

          • Well, time to avoid spoilers for a really old game for a month. I’ve avoided them my whole life, I can do it for another month.

          • Good luck with it. I’m not going to spoil anything for ya, though I might bring up the reception its getting in Japan for sake of conversation or kinda odd design choices that don’t speak of the story.

  1. So I have two provinces to explore still in BotW and a bunch of quests to do, but part of me really wants to just rush through and get all the story adrenaline. I’ve taken my time so far and I hope to continue, since I’ve avoided spoilers miraculously, but part of me wants to just go rush the castle.

    Deci and Prim: Both UU, albiet Prim is a little higher

    Looks like everything happened as I guessed

  3. Unpopular opinion here, but I hope that after Yooka Laylee comes out we can start having more Shovel Knight type games that takes various inspirations to form a new game rather than upgrading old ones.

          Mighty Number Nein was tortuously mismanaged and the people gouged it horribly

          Yooka-Laylee was properly executed with flying colors
          -Graciously funded beyond initial goal and continued to grow indicating a love and belief in the product
          – gave the players a return to a forgotten era of 3D open platforming with colorful beautifully created worlds
          – likable and lovable characters
          – and is being made with people who poured their hearts into something they truly loved

    • Tbh i kinda considered Yooka-Laylee to be in the same vein as shovel knight, because its an old concept that a lot of modern games fail to utilize, and honestly I would love for there to be more Yooka-laylee games after this one, but for shovel knight, they might have to change a lot to keep it from not seeming repetitive for a second game

      • But Shovel Knight pulls from multiple games on the NES (Zelda 2, Ducktails, Mario3, Castlevania etc.) but that makes it wholly unique. But Yooka Laylee is basically a sequel. I’m still exited for it, but I just want more games that take from multiple sources with more original concepts

          • Lol, there really isnt anything wrong with it as long as its a good game. It’s just that I feel gaming looks back a bit too much and doesn’t do much to innovate (which I’m aware is basically a meaningless word at this point). More original concepts is always welcome. But of course I still want sequels and remakes and spiritual successors, but idk, I feel like we can do more for older franchises by bringing more modern concepts into them and adding new things. Maybe YL will do that though

          • tbh theres only so much we can do to make a game unique these days, we have to give them a bone here and there as we see fit because in a way, all game concepts have almost always been done before they just add new twists here and there, however, there are a lot of really original games on other consoles, just look at some of the fantastic games that come out on PS, nintendo based games just have a habit of not shaking things up too much. But I get what youre saying

          • I could rant about game innovation for literally hours. Big game companies for the most part aren’t interested in stepping outside the norm, games still have this weird fixation on one single emotion (fun), we mostly think of games spatially and that limits alot of what we can do, and.. uhgg again, could go on for hours and hours. But hey, I haven’t worked on a game since what? January? So I’m not helping clearly so I shouldn’t complain

          • go scream into your pillow, it helps me sometimes, I’ve been doing it a lot lately

    • Honestly I kinda agree with you. I’m not really looking for some of gaming’s greats to come back and make what is virtually a continuation of their series. Rather I’d love for them to try to create a mix of old ideas that they love with more modern tastes like shovel knight or even something like a hat in time.

  11. Checked my Switch, and yup it’s slightly warped. Nothing I’ve noticed without actively checking tho. I’ll just be more mindful about extended playtimes and leaving it in the dock for too long.
