NYKO has reached out to me to replace my Switch and attempt to get save data from the system. While I appreciate the gesture I would rather hold onto my Switch for now just in case a breakthrough is eventually made. Thanks to NYKO for reaching out.

So after a year of beating up my Switch, it finally gave out on me after the 5.0.0 update and using a third party dock. While it's tough to tell how connected the update and bricking is, others are starting to have similar issues online since the update with similar cases popping up online. Nintendo needs to come up with a solution for save data back ups, it's been a year and at this point it's time to fix a leering problem.

Someone dropped a switch 1000 feet and only broke the left joy con I just know mines gonna slide of the side of the couch and disintegrate

Have you tried turning it off and on again? No but seriously, that sucks. We need a way to back up our saves. I don’t want my 600 hours in Zelda to just be gone!!

wii has backup. 3ds has backup. switch has no backup? (update) As of version 11.0 the switch has new options for backing up user created files.

Supposedly 3rd party docks do not conform to the power delivery specification, so they overcharge the power chip, and break it. Perhaps you could get a heat plate, and use a rework solder station to pull the chip, and replace it.

Nintendo: Hackers can't hack the Switch if we brick it first. Perfect logic.

I miss the days when u could just save to memory card and take ur saves to ur friends house,no problem.

NYKO only made you the offer due to your fame. Us small folks get absolutely nothing. This reminds me of the xbox 360 coolers that blew against the stock fans causing the system to overheat more. No more NYKO in my house!

I really don't understand why Nintendo doesn't make this feature or enable us to save in the SD. That's pretty lame.
@victordiaz4854 6 years ago

That’s unfortunate, but that’s EXACTLY why I refuse to use any other dock other than the original.

I've been scared of my Switch braking since day one.

Your taking this pretty well. I would freak out if my BOTW data was lost!

And people mocked me for using the official one

Nintendo we need Cloud Save now.

Whew, I thought they were just bricking on their own. I'll stick to the 1st party docks and accessories.

Don't give Nyko any credit. They are charlatans who made a product that has bricked countless systems, and people on Switch Reddit have reported waiting months for Nyko to replace their systems. They deserve absolutely nothing but negative publicity and nobody should ever buy their products again.

Nearly everyone: 3rd party docks are damaging Switches! Spawn: Seems fine to me... Switch dies Spawn: oh... I like you man, but seriously, not your smoothest move.
