Like any high-performance mobile device the Switch uses its own case as a heatsink, it's just working as intended.

Hello I am Infinitum, and I have an important PSA to make

If you buy Splatoon 2 on a physical cart you are a dumb dumb

Buy multiplayer games digitally, so they always live on your system and you can access them instantaneously.
Buy single player games physically, so you can swap them out whenever.

I will also accept buying games physically if you're not sure how good they're going to be, so that you may trade them in later if they suck.
For example Mario+Rabbids may not be everyones cup of tea.

But Splatoon 2 is a good game.
So buy it digitally.

Splatoon 2 fuckin' rules. Just from a day's worth of playing across the three splatfests it's everything I wanted in a multiplayer game but never knew I needed (which apparently was basically what everyone else thought too about the first one).

The full game has customisation, upgrading, and cosmetic poo poo too as well? Can't wait.

Addendum; Except if you're in Australia, because the price difference between physical and digital is obscene.

No one left uncured.

Am I missing something with the pro controller charging situation?

I have this here excellent Anker wall charger. It charges everything I own, including the Switch itself, but it does not charge the pro controller. My other Anker charger, a two port, does charge the controller.

I'm using the Nintendo-supplied USB A-C cable with nothing else connected to the charger in both cases.

After 3 hours of splatoon I had to leave, so I went to get my switch out of the dock and holy crap it was nearly hot to the touch. Playing inside even a semi ventilated cabinet in an 84f room was plainly not a good idea and I should know better. Thankfully it seems fine, for a system that seemed to be fragile as hell at launch it handled it.

You could put some reusable ice packs near the airflow intake when your switch is docked if you're going to be playing for an extended period.

It's safe but expect a trickle of a charge that is far from enough to keep up with the power requirements of a running switch. I played about 8 hours of Isaac while coming back from Europe and the battery was dead by the end despite being plugged in for most of the flight.

You should equip Dowsing. Air dash is very near the start of the stage behind a destructible wall. Dowsing makes your controller vibrate when near a secret wall.

Dowsing and Air Dash are both equipped as part of your weapon customization.

It can support up to 2TB cards, which don't exist yet. 128GB is the current "sweet spot" for MicroSD.
