Nintendo Switch isn't using USB-C, officially. They're implementation is not spec compliant unfortunately so the blame should be 100% on Nintendo in this case for using a universal port with proprietary implementation.

FWIW, both Nintendo JP and UK refer to it as a USB Type-C connector

There was a submission earlier on HN about how the Switch is not USB-C compliant: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16706803

I wonder whether it would (would have been?) possible to trademark the USB-C shape to enforce compatibility.
