Nintendo provides statement following third-party Switch docks ‘bricking consoles’
Posted on 6 years ago by Tyler(@tylerlelliott) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Earlier this month, we reported third-party docks seemed to be bricking Switch systems following the version 5.0.0 firmware update. Nintendo has since addressed the reports, offering a statement to Kotaku:
Nintendo (recommends) that Switch owners only buy officially licensed Switch products . . . Unlicensed products and accessories do not undergo Nintendo’s testing and evaluation process. They might not work at all with our game systems, and they could have compatibility problems with certain games, the Nintendo Switch system itself, and other licensed accessories and peripherals.
