I got my unit back from Nintendo. As I hoped, it was exchanged. I'm not sure if this is a refurb or a brand new unit, but it looks clean enough. I am satisfied with the service. Minus the hideous amount of time UPS took to deliver it LOL.
 
Nintendo Switch 2 owners, beware – some owners are reporting worrisome overheating problems

As highlighted by Notebookcheck, multiple users are reporting overheating issues with the Nintendo Switch 2, even while playing less demanding games. Notably, most reports suggest overheating occurs when using the Switch 2's Dock, a vital component that allows users to play on external displays and provides more power for improved performance.

Looks like there's some reports of the Switch 2 over heating, even in dock mode and the dock fans on high.

Well surprise surprise Nintendo aced the start and stuck the landing - Bananza on the switch is a total triumph for me - Havent played such a gloriously alive celebration of video games in a long long while....deserves to be up there with Odyssey and BOTW. Seems to effortlessly nail his play style and move set and couple it with demolition but so tricky to just get "right" which they have from top to bottom and so so so many nods to previous Dk stuff
:)
10/10 from me.

I've also been enjoying Bananza (I've only put around six hours in so far). Seems like a very good merge of Donkey Kong with the Super Mario Odyssey collectathon style, and I am happy to see that Nintendo's Tokyo studio gave plenty of nods to the past DK material from Rare, even as they are "re-inventing" the character somewhat.

I just wish that the camera behavior was better when you are tunneling through tight spaces. It is too easy for it to clip out of bounds and reveal stuff to you that is probably not intended.

same here. One of the best games I've ever played. Lot's of fun
 
I picked up a Switch 2 a week ago - the only one I saw in stock anywhere nearby (~50 miles) since launch. I haven’t had a console of any kind since the Wii, so I’m having a good time playing games I missed from the Switch. Mainly I’m playing Mario Kart, Odyssey, and I have the new Donkey Kong but haven’t tried it yet. It’s also nice to have access to older games, so I’m playing through Golden Sun again.
