Hardware Nintendo Switch Dock Has Been Pulled From The Nintendo Store

[g00s3y]

Taken mine in and out of the dock numerous times, have not scratched it. Maybe some people should take care of their stuff, take the extra 1-2 seconds to put it in there gently.

This.. Right here is exactly why shit like this happens. The plastic on plastic idea was bad.. What YOU do won't change that.

Why's does everyone keep saying these things are "made fore kids"? Fuck you there is a huge gamer base over 20 out there. Once a gamer always a gamer and Nintendo products are geared honestly more towards there generation. Why would you believe this to be intended for kids? The children will surely play it hence the more modest/educational titles put out but a huge portion of the gamers are into games of extreme violence which let's face it have always existed for Nintendo consoles ( Mario kills turtles by jumping on there heads.... seems pretty brutal for a kids game doesn't it.) Anyways yeah screw that a console isn't designed for kids. It is made for the older demographic who usually have kids and offers child friendly options and titles. Nothing wrong with that. I wouldn't let kids use my gaming stuff without adult supervision (especially during the first year it's out) because kids don't usually get that these things are expensive and you should be lucky to have one. Break it and you're sol.

' “The dock wasn’t ‘pulled’ from the replacement/refurbishment store—it’s out of stock,” a Nintendo of America spokesperson told Gizmodo in an email. “As previously announced, the Nintendo Switch dock set (which includes the dock, a HDMI cable, and an AC adapter) will be released Spring 2017.” '

Seems like Nintendo isn't preparing a fix after all, or at the very least, they're denying it right now.

They're saying that consoles like this are made to take at least the manhandling of a careless child without breaking, which isn't saying the console is only made for kids. That's just a smart way to design your product.

Tester are probably more gentle than people of real world use. They should have just not have that front part of the dock and have a cover for the Switch itself. They shouldn't have completely thrown out the clamshell design.

There is some merit to that, however the amount of ipod stands and docks that I have seen fall off tables and bend things such that it is a nightmare to repair...
Given said things are theoretically touch only controls, as opposed to something that could well have a nice USB cable plugged into it with a kid swinging off the end, and likely not enough mass to make a xbox style quick detach a viable option, then not having to fix as many connectors in your repair shops could then argue for the design.

I can't imagine enough Switches falling over and bending, to offset screens being scratched due to this design and user error. Especially if they have to redesign the docks anyway.

What the hell are you talking about?

I was not intending to say this implementation would pay off for them, merely that a dock things can't fall out out and cantilever a connector or connector port could be a better design choice, or at least an easily justified one, than an open face one.

Some people are not the most careful with their devices.
Considering the Switch is made for children that won't take a lot of care for the system, it's [kind of] a big deal.

I dont think the Switch was made for children. But that's a complicated argument.

It's just so implanted to my head at this point I can't get it out
