Has anyone bought a 3rd party cooling fan for their Switch? The Amazon selection looks a bit meh but mine is struggling hard in TOTK.

What do you need a cooling fan for? Console doesn't exactly get hot.

Strange. My console doesn’t make a sound on TotK. I’ve only played it docked though..

I think a clean and re-paste would be better than a third part cooling fan that probably causes more harm than good. My original model Switch is screaming in this game when docked, but I've just been a bit lazy lately.

You're spot on that it's an original, I can't say I'm keen on taking it apart though I do computers all the time! I'll give it a look...

Looking for a spare / travel dock for the Switch OLED - don't really want to drag the Nintendo one around.
If I recall the Skull & Co one was generally regarded as the best before, are there any other decent options?

Best&safest dock I would say is buy a 2nd hand genuine switch dock if possible and disassemble it and install the parts into a Basstop or something similar. Won't need to worry about any third party dock bricking the switch or failing after a system update.

It didn't look all that difficult. I'm definitely going to do it at one point soon, as it's already getting pretty toasty here.

There is a Nintendo Direct today

Best Direct in some time.

Mario RPG, and Wonder, both winners in my eyes.

steve5424 · 21 Jun 2023 at 16:22

The Princess Peach game looks interesting too.

XPE · 21 Jun 2023 at 17:55

It does look like they have put a bit of character into Mario Wonder that seemed to be lacking from the the New series of Mario games.

steve5424 · 21 Jun 2023 at 18:37

It looks like Mario actually took shrooms lmao. Trippy

The OG Mario RPG was amazing, will definitely have to have a play of this remake.

kakarott · 21 Jun 2023 at 20:02

Feel they took inspiration from this fan made game. Well the beginning at least

Noxia · 21 Jun 2023 at 21:02

FFS I will need another Switch now just for new mario.

chrismscotland · 21 Jun 2023 at 21:14

Delighted to see that Switch is also getting the Metal Gear Solid collection with MGS 1,2,3 & the original NES games, Sonic Superstars looks decent, never played Mario RPG so would probably pick that up and I also like the look of the Arkham Trilogy - I know they were raved about on console when out originally.
Mario wonder too - nice to see the switch still has some legs this year now Zelda is out!

Signs of Nintendo not rushing to release a new console anytime soon.

kakarott · 22 Jun 2023 at 09:40

One of their best directs. Never knew MGS was coming.

With more games due next year, I wonder if they'll announce a new switch next year.
