Despite a successful launch, some early adopters have encountered some issues with the Nintendo Switch, in particular there are reports of dead pixels on the screen, and of course the synchronisation of the Joy-Cons. Now fingers are being pointed at the hybrid console's dock, which reportedly has caused scratches on the screen or on the back cover of the console, this according to feedback from several people on Reddit.

Following on from this, over on NeoGAF , people have noticed that the accessory has been removed from Nintendo's online store (in the United States and Canada, and here in the UK). Was this because of a supply shortage, or perhaps because of a design defect? There are no details from Nintendo for now, but the accessory is still on sale on the Japanese store.

Scratches reportedly due to the dock.
