Alright, so, there’s this whole thing going on with the Nintendo Switch 2. People, especially in Japan, are all up in arms about these overheating issues. It’s like you’re playing, say, Cyberpunk 2077 or something lighter like Pokémon, and boom — your console’s throwing a fit. It’s overheating, the game crashes, the screen freezes. Fun times, right?
Okay, so, folks have been chiming in on X, and a lot of it’s being translated from Japanese – not that it matters, chaos is universal, right? One person goes, “The fan’s just wild, maybe it’s cooking itself.” Yeah, Rune Factory was apparently too hot, literally.
And is it just handheld mode? Nope. Someone popped it into dock mode, tried Cyberpunk again, and ka-blammo, five crashes later, the console’s a mini furnace. I can’t even. This other user tried handheld mode first and said it was like trying to hold lava. Crazy how fast things heat up.
Oh, and it’s not just a Japan thing. Facebook and Reddit users are chipping in too. You’ve got people feeling their consoles and wondering if they’re hot or if it’s just them. Someone posted, “Twice now, my Switch 2 tells me it’s overheating.” No kidding.
Nintendo, in their infinite wisdom, has advice too. Wanna hear it? Just unplug the thing, move it somewhere breezy, and cross your fingers, basically. Good luck, right? If that’s not working, you’re mailing it back for repairs. Classic.
You’d think after breaking sales records – they even had to apologize for running out of stock – the console would be perfect, but no! Also, don’t even get me started on the whole issue with Mig Flash drives and ROMs. People are salty about that too.
So, where does that leave us? Probably somewhere between hitting refresh on the Nintendo store and wondering if your handheld console is secretly a radiator. Ah, the joys of gaming.
