Faulty Nintendo Switch Unveils Electro-Symphony

With any new hardware release, there’s somebody who experiences problems. For one Nintendo Switch buyer, that problem is particularly bizarre.

YouTube user Shokio, who regularly posts game videos, says he was hoping to livestream a session with Zelda. Unfortunately that proved impractical thanks to a spectacular bug that means his device is now emitting a stream of repetitive beats in varying tones that change over time and almost sound like bad electronica or prog music.

Bizarre as the video is, it’s likely genuine given Shokio has previously posted lengthy videos both anticipating the Switch and then giving his initial feedback.
