Nintendo Switch has the official USB-C logo on the box and it's not compliant, in fact plugging in the "wrong"(but also USB-C compliant) charger can break the device.

The only chargers to break the switch were putting 9 volts on a low voltage data wire. Definitely not compliant.

The switch has a couple issues with how it requests power but they're minor and mostly on the dock rather than the actual console.
