任天堂Switch自2017年推出以來，雖然憑藉獨特的主機設計與豐富的遊戲陣容廣受歡迎，但從上市初期到後續使用，玩家也逐漸發現這台「混合型主機」背後藏有不少技術缺陷與使用BUG，許多問題更是困擾玩家多年。

首先是手把連線不穩定的問題。許多用戶反映，只要將Joy-Con控制器稍微離開主機本體一段距離，特別是在無遮蔽物但信號干擾較強的環境中，就容易出現斷訊、延遲或操作無反應的狀況。這在首批Switch主機上尤其嚴重，左手把更被戲稱為「設計失誤的重災區」。當坐在沙發上遊玩、主機擺放在電視下方時，手把突然失靈，導致遊戲中角色無法正常操作，嚴重影響體驗。

其次，Joy-Con底部的金屬觸點設計也被批評為不耐用。隨著使用時間拉長，插入主機底座的接點容易氧化或磨損，導致Joy-Con插上後主機無法識別，或遊戲途中出現突然中斷連線的情況。甚至需要多次插拔才能使主機識別控制器，造成極大不便。

再來是廣為詬病的搖桿飄移問題。Joy-Con搖桿內部使用塑料材質與碳膜結構，長時間操作容易因灰塵、濕氣侵入而出現磨損甚至「掉渣」，造成模組接觸不良。這種情況導致搖桿即使沒有任何操作，也會在遊戲中自動移動角色或鏡頭，俗稱「飄移」。這個問題幾乎成為Switch的「通病」，甚至引發多國玩家集體提告，迫使任天堂承諾改進並提供部分地區免費維修。

另外，有部分玩家反映主機螢幕在使用一段時間後會出現壞點，或是在待機模式下過熱導致螢幕色彩異常。儘管任天堂未全面承認螢幕品質問題，但這些案例不時在網路論壇與社群中出現，尤其在夏季或長時間掌機模式遊玩時更容易發生。

在軟體方面，Switch主機直到2019年才正式推出繁體中文介面。這意味著自2017年發售初期開始，全球包括台灣、香港等廣大中文用戶，必須忍受英文、日文或簡體中文界面操作，不僅降低使用便利性，也讓部分玩家感受到任天堂對華語市場的支援力道相對保守與緩慢。

總體而言，Switch雖然在遊戲設計與跨界創新方面贏得不少好評，但在硬體設計與品質控管上，仍存在不少瑕疵與爭議。從手把連線問題、搖桿飄移、觸點老化，到螢幕壞點與語言支援的延後，這些BUG構成Switch推出以來一連串令人詬病的技術陰影。隨著時間推進，玩家對下一代Switch主機的期望也不僅止於性能升級，更盼望任天堂能正視這些長年未解的使用痛點，真正讓硬體品質與遊戲體驗同步進化。

Since its launch in 2017, the Nintendo Switch has earned widespread popularity thanks to its unique hybrid design and rich game library. However, from the initial release to long-term use, players have gradually discovered numerous technical flaws and persistent bugs hidden behind this "hybrid console." Many of these issues have plagued users for years.

One of the earliest and most common complaints has been the instability of the Joy-Con controller connection. Many users reported that even a slight distance between the Joy-Con and the console body—especially in environments with strong signal interference but no physical obstructions—could cause disconnections, input lag, or unresponsive controls. This issue was particularly severe in the first-generation Switch units, with the left Joy-Con often dubbed "the disaster zone of design flaws." When playing on the couch with the console docked under the TV, players frequently encountered sudden controller failures, severely disrupting gameplay.

Another widely criticized issue lies in the durability of the metal contact points at the bottom of the Joy-Con controllers. Over time, the contacts that connect to the main console can oxidize or wear out, leading to the system failing to recognize the Joy-Con when attached. This can cause the controller to disconnect randomly during gameplay or require multiple attempts to properly insert and register the controller, causing considerable frustration.

Perhaps the most infamous hardware flaw is the so-called “Joy-Con drift” problem. The joystick mechanism, which uses plastic materials and a carbon film sensor structure, tends to wear down over time due to dust and moisture. This can lead to degraded contact within the module, resulting in the joystick registering movement even when untouched—commonly known as “drift.” This issue became so widespread that it prompted class-action lawsuits in multiple countries, ultimately pushing Nintendo to offer free repairs in select regions and pledge improvements.

Some players have also reported screen-related defects. After prolonged use, certain Switch units develop dead pixels or exhibit color distortion due to overheating during standby mode. Although Nintendo has not officially acknowledged a widespread screen quality issue, such reports regularly surface on forums and social media, especially during summer or long handheld gaming sessions.

In terms of software, the Switch did not offer a Traditional Chinese user interface until 2019. This meant that from the console’s launch in 2017, players in major Chinese-speaking regions such as Taiwan and Hong Kong had to navigate the system in English, Japanese, or Simplified Chinese. This lack of native language support significantly reduced accessibility and made some players feel that Nintendo’s approach to the Mandarin-speaking market was conservative and slow.

Overall, while the Switch has been praised for its innovative gameplay concepts and genre-blending game designs, its hardware design and quality control have left much to be desired. From connectivity issues and joystick drift to aging contact points, screen problems, and delayed language support, these recurring bugs have cast a long shadow over the Switch's otherwise successful lifespan. As anticipation builds for the next-generation Switch, players are hoping not only for improved performance but also for meaningful responses to these long-standing hardware pain points—ensuring that both hardware quality and gameplay experience evolve in tandem.
