Mine is doing great, the left joycon was slightly finicky but other than that it's wonderful.

This is 'Murica, if I believe eating cartridges coated in nasty-tasting chemicals is a god-given right, so it is dammit. Git 'er dun.

Yes, in all seriousness, I've had a couple minor nitpicks. I still give the system a 9/10, the OS a 10/10, and BotW 10/10. Fast RMX a solid 8.5 and Snipperclips an 8.

such a great console

Have there been any reports of batteries exploding in them that might scare you don't want to come back to find out your house is one fire and the switch is the cause.

A third party should make a custom dock that has a cloth in the inside preventing the switch from getting scratches

People are in such a hurry to get a console at launch and they pay the max money for the console then they're shocked when it has issues. Patience is a virtue.

Not yet. Since it's not Samsung or Apple that have made them. Plus the battery seem to be thicker than the phone batteries.

also, the only good game for it that's out is Zelda which is also on Wii u there's no rush to buy it when the good games aren't even out yet.

At this rate it might kill more people than it saves.

Negative. Gets slightly warm, mostly on just one side of Switch.

Over the CPU mostly.

Only lightly warm on the back side. Less than my NVIDIA shield portable even. And usually that's only after being in the dock for hours, in handheld it's even less hot.

Someone showed a video that when in docked mode it made Zelda run slower.

More frame drops, yes. Zelda is native 720p Wii U port, and it still has frame drops at that resolution on Wii U (a lot in certain areas). Far fewer in 720p handheld Switch mode. Fast RMX, another release game, is 1080p/60, no drops.

Zelda still looks and runs great in 900p TV mode 90% of the time.

Maybe a little more than 50 people out of hundreds of thousands switches sold have reported having defected consoles, and now journalists are trying to spin this as some sort of wide spread issue?

The only real issue with the Switch are the two design flaws: being able to insert the strap the wrong way and the dock scratching the screen, but consoles totally failing probably counts for 0.1% of all switches sold.

Also Crowbcat is awful, nearly all of his videos are cherry-picked montages to make some shitty strawman. It's not even funny it's just other people's footage.

Wondering if location correlates to build quality. Noticed a lot of failing console seem to belong to American consumers. Neither me, my sister, her friends or my friends have had any of these listed issues. Just strange. Though I also suppose people having problems are more vocal than people who don't.

Just a thought, anyway.

Also, this thread needs a new name... It's not "many" It's like 2 or three people. 1/3 has an issue, the other two are making shit up.
