It also comes with a price tag of $299 per pack, Forbes has detailed.

Unfortunately, issues began to surface and gamers have identified a serious problem. According to Arstechnica, Nintendo is on the brink of facing another catastrophe with its problematic Switch.

As the Nintendo Switch promotes mobile and home console, the latter use-case scenario poses much confusion and burden. The publication noted that Nintendo seems to intentionally present some inconveniences in the home console system.

Worst, the Switch dock is reportedly not giving much benefit, considering the additional cost it entails.
