Overheating of the Nintendo Switch in the docking station (TV mode). If the Switch is in the docking station and is being played on the TV, the message regarding overheating appears after 15 minutes to approx. 50 minutes (varies, but within this period) and the Switch switches to standby mode. The room temperature is about 20° degrees (+/-0.5° degrees), the Switch is well ventilated, the air can circulate. The mini ventilation slots in the switch are clean/dust-free. Someone online said they had solved the problem by placing the docking station on its side (not standing up). This did not solve the problem for me, as the overheating message "only" appeared after about 50 minutes. It doesn't matter whether I play Mario Kart 8 (solo or MP on the same Switch), Mario Odysee or Zelda. In my opinion, this is certainly not what the inventor (Nintendo) intended. The Switch is no longer brand new (market release March 2017) and I didn't expect this kind of behaviour today (2018). In the past - yes, everything was better in the past - I could play NES/SNES/N64 or PlayStation XY non-stop for hours without interruption. Okay, the technology/design is not identical, but it's not normal for a more modern game console to have system-related interruptions in such short periods of time. A colleague also bought a Switch at digitec (10.10.2018) and has no such problems. However, there are various entries online (US/UK/EU) with similar descriptions. Have any of you also observed such behaviour?

No. We don't have that problem. We sometimes play games for quite a long time (e.g. Mario Odyssey), the indoor temperature is around 22.5 degrees (and up to 28 degrees in summer) and the Nintendo is always in the dock. It has never happened that the system overheats. I would tend towards a problem with the Switch.

Most likely not, and I would generally be careful with non-certified accessories for the Switch. There are quite a few reports where people have broken their Switch trying to connect it to the TV without the official dock. As far as I know, HDMI via USB-C is only possible with the Switch in connection with PowerDelivery (PD) and the Switch does not adhere to the specifications of the USB PD standard.

Online multiplayer is currently still free of charge. The Nintendo Switch Online service will be launched in September 2018. Further information: https://www.nintendo.ch/de/Nintendo-Switch/Nintendo-Switch-Online/Nintendo-Switch-Online-1183143.html The download size of individual games and apps can be found on the respective product page in the Nintendo eShop. Mario Kart 8 is approx. 7GB and Mario Odyssey is approx. 6GB.

I would try to shut down the console completely (not just standby) and then restart it after some time (2 minutes). You can only do this in handheld mode by holding down the On/Off button for a long time. If that doesn't help, put it back in the dock and remove it again after a few minutes to restart the display switch. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a reset button to physically disconnect the battery. (Only guesses, I haven't had the problem myself yet).

I don't really know if the OS supports Spanish out of the box. But the games sure do. At least Zelda has been voiced over in both latinamerican spanish and Castilian Spanish and many other languages. Take a look at this trailer comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8FuWAuO4rY

We don't have the same holder, but similar ones like these two, for example: Rammount RAM Universal Tablet Holder (large) xMount xMount@Desk Secure for iPad mini1/2/3 Ret We cannot guarantee whether these are compatible with the Switch.

For short sessions you can play with the existing two Joy-Con's, for longer sessions I would buy a Pro-Controller because it is more comfortable. However, wait a bit until it is clear which controllers are compatible, then you might save some money :)

No, it's not necessary. You can play well in a group with one console, but you can also play with several, which means that (thanks to the additional screens) you have more features available than on just one TV or Switch.
