Afraid to use the Nintendo Switch dock? One user made a custom N64 dock

Nintendo Switch 64 dock
Since the release of the Nintendo Switch, there are mixed reviews over the included dock. Some have had no issues switching between portable and TV experiences, but others haven’t been so lucky.

According to various Switch owners on the internet, some docks are leaving permanent scratches on the plastic screen of the device. It is a problem that has led people to create custom solutions. Easily one of the best mods so far is this Nintendo 64 modification from Youtuber Tettzan Zone.

Before people worry about the destruction of a classic Nintendo console, Tettzan Zone has confirmed that the N64 was completely broken with no way to fix it. Rather than tossing it away or displaying it on a shelf, he modified it into a fully functional Switch dock.

The modification took just under a week’s worth of work, and the modder has been open about his process. For anyone wondering why he didn’t allow room to dock the Joy-Cons, it apparently would have been a very tight fit. If anyone else has a busted N64 lying around, this looks like a great way to make it feel loved again.

As far as the original Nintendo Switch Dock, Nintendo still says they have yet to experience any screen-scratching themselves. During an interview with Time, Nintendo of American President Reggie Fils-Aime asked customers to reach out for Nintendo support.

“This is why we’re encouraging consumers to reach out to us directly,” Fils-Aime said. “We have done, as you know, literally hundreds of events, starting with our activity back in January, and most recently the various tours that we continue to take the system out on. As soon as I heard of this report, I asked my teams, ‘Have we seen this in our own experience?’ And the candid answer has been no.”

This free Nintendo Switch game is messy, but endearingly weird
Denpa Men run around a town in The New Denpa Men.

The Nintendo Switch just got a new free-to-play exclusive, and it's a big deal for a very niche but dedicated fanbase. The New Denpa Men is the latest entry in developer Genius Sonority's Denpa Men series. If you haven't heard of that before, there's good reason. The series debuted on Nintendo 3DS and has had several entries since, spanning out to mobile, but its most recent installments were exclusive to Japan. The Switch release brings the quirky RPG back west, which marks an exciting return for its cult following.

Or it should have been exciting, at least. As it stands, The New Denpa Men is a bit of a mess at launch. A laughable English localization, a frustrating online requirement, and some pesky microtransactions already have fans torn. While those are all issues that have bugged me during my first few hours with the release, I'm still finding some endearingly weird charm in the RPG. It feels like a return to a different era of Nintendo, where the company's hardware gimmicks led to some welcome creative swings.

Nintendo is coming after Switch modders once again

Nintendo is no stranger to lawsuits these days, and it's filed two more, as reported Tuesday. One is against the owner of a company who allegedly sold modded Switches, while the other concerns the moderator of a subreddit where users could learn how to play pirated games.

According to TorrentFreak, which had copies of both complaints filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, Nintendo is suing Modded Hardware and its owner, Ryan "Homebrew Homie" Daly, for selling Mod Chips, modded Switch consoles, and a memory card that lets people play pirated games. Nintendo's lawyer wrote in the suit that this caused "substantial and irreparable" harm to the console giant. It's seeking damages for copyright infringement, along with other charges such as "trafficking in circumvention devices."

These underrated 16-bit classics just got new life on Nintendo Switch
A still from the intro cinematic for Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked.

There is no shortage of all-time greats to choose from when seeking out a new 16-bit platformer to play. SNES and Sega Genesis classics like Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Mega Man X are probably the first things to come to mind. During that same era, Contra and Castlevania developer Konami released a series of platformers that rivaled those greats but didn't get as much recognition as they deserved. Now, these titles are getting a new lease on life thanks to a collection that launched earlier this month on PC, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch.

I'm talking about Rocket Knight Adventures, a 1993 release on the Sega Genesis, as well as its follow-ups on Genesis and SNES, separate titles both named Sparkster. These 2D platformers put players in control of an opossum named Sparkster, who wears a suit of armor with a rocket strapped to its back. These games aren't as widely remembered as many of their peers but are well worth the time of any platformer fan, so they are definitely worth checking out now through Limited Run Games and Konami's Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked, which came out right in the middle of Summer Game Fest this year.
