Oh no! Nintendo did an anti consumer thing? No one would have thought that, better add it to the 3000 page encyclopedia of Nintendo doing this very new thing!

You'd think they wouldn't be allowed to use USB unless they met the standard's compatibility requirements (which I'm presuming exist, but don't really know for a fact). If the USB standards body allows this type of bastardization of their work, then we're going to eventually wind up right back to where we were before: a ton of differing connection standards making life a PITA for everybody.
Im still getting over the fact the Wii could not play DVDs
what grinds my gears is that nintendo can do these anti-consumer practices and it's fan base will still buy it unconditionally along any mario themed $70 crap.
Me on my Steamdeck, eating popcorn while reading these headlines
Nintendo really wants to be a villain like their rivals, don't they?
This was the same with the first Switch wasn't it? There were no aftermarket chargers at all.
I could charge mine, but it was very slow and didn't work on the dock. You just reminded me of this lol, I forget every time you need the Nintendo cable
Wait what?
Why have a USB C port at all if you cant even charge with usb c?
ive used the same usb c cable to charge my switch lite as i use to charge everything else works fine for me
