- Nintendo Switch 2 Users report overheating problems in portable and coupled modes
- It comes in the middle of the recent Nintendo controversies that surround its new Switch 2 device
- According to reports, it occurs even when you play less demanding games.
It is no secret that Nintendo has been in the center of the controversy since the announcement of the prices of the games of $ 80, along with recent findings around its new Switch 2 screen and their ghost problems. However, hand problems do not stop there.
As highlighted by Notebookckck, multiple users report overheating problems with Nintendo Switch 2, even while playing less demanding games. In particular, most reports suggest that overheating occurs when the Switch 2 dock is used, a vital component that allows users to play on external screens and provides more power to improve performance.
A large number of Redditors has expressed frustrations with the lack of ventilation of the Switch 2 spring despite presenting a built -in fan. The latter is not designed to cool switch 2, but the dock.
Others also indicate higher temperatures while using its Ethernet port, to the point where the hand computer and its accessory are too hot to play, and the screen output ends despite the fact that the console still works.
Nintendo suggests that leaving aside the console cools and ensuring that laptop air vents are not clogged, but, frankly, that is not a great solution to eliminate the alleged overheating.

It is not just the dock alone; Users also report that the device shows a warning message before entering the suspension mode when discredited. This seems to be the way of strangling the system, but instead, you can’t play while resting.
This is a worrying sign for switch owners 2. If these problems become more frequent, it would undoubtedly replace concerns about screen quality.
Analysis: I wish this is not a bigger problem than I believe …
It is not uncommon to hear reports on overheating with a new hardware. I have become quite accustomed, with new GPU launches, and (more relevant) the first reports of the overheated SD cards in the Allied Asus Rog.
Since this is a similar problem, it seems that Nintendo could address it with a software update, similar to what Asus did. However, there is no guarantee that this leads to a resolution. It also arrives at a bad time for Switch 2, considering its recent controversies.
It is the absolute scenario in the worst case for a new owner of the portable console, especially at its price of $ 449.99 / £ 395.99 / AU $ 699.95; It is also worth noting that the original switch has seen a price increase in some regions, so it is not exactly a good time for these overheated reports to emerge.
If the dock is harmful to the cooling of the Switch 2, I doubt that any software update can solve the problem. There is also a lack of compatibility with third -party docks, so if you face these temperature problems, there is not much solution for now.
Hopefully Nintendo hurries to address this before he gets out of control …
