Bendgate 2.0? Some Switch owners have reported the console is warping

A few owners of Nintendo’s latest console the Switch, have reported that the handheld has started to bend.

One redditor who’s post has become highly cited has fingered the Switch’s dock as the culprit behind their console’s sudden curvature.

The Nintendo Switch Is Starting To Warp While Only Being In Dock Mode from gaming

The reddit user has also uploaded a video showing the bend off to a great extent. In that video the user also notes he contacted Nintendo which has said this is likely an isolated incident.

But this doesn’t seem to be the only incident as Joey Davidson, a journalist at Technobuffalo has noticed his Switch was also bent out of shape.

“Now, I play my Nintendo Switch mostly in docked mode. I’d say the breakdown is something like 75 percent docked, 25 percent undocked. When I’m undocked, I don’t grasp it tightly or twist and turn in transit, I have an exceptionally sturdy case designed for the system. It’s not been sat on or physically bent. This is warping, it appears,” writes Davidson.

It appears then as if the Switch’s dock is creating a hotplate of sorts and without sufficient cooling the plastic casing of the console gets bent out of shape.
