We had the same problem with first year switch 1 release
A good rule for life in general is ‘Don’t be an early adopter’.
Chill. Every piece of hardware has a fault rate. Millions sold, how many overheat?
Coincidentally, these reports are coming with heat waves everywhere.
It’s 92° F in a port city in Japan today. And humid. Was the user charging the switch 2 when this happened? If an iPhone is overheating I don’t see why a switch would be any different.
But doesn’t the switch have active cooling? Or is that only when docked?
The reports in the article both complain about no fan, and fan noise…
Which may be different issues, and no one mentioned the environment they were in.
So just a thought:
Nintendo releases overclocked consoles for better performance on release (and by extension better overall perfomance reviews), and down the line they release a patch to tether down the heat issue.
