Apart from just not loading the Snes, Gameboy Advance, or Gameboy classics on the Online Store, a topic that I won't discuss here as I have already in another forum.
My Switch 2 sometimes refuses to show any games on the homescreen, it's just blank even those that all full cartridge and I have to turn the console off and on again for them to reappear. It hasn't happened that much but it's more than a little annoying when it does. It's usually after visiting the Eshop or Online store and trying to get the classics to install.
Is your machine displaying any niggles?

EDIT: Aargh.. just discovered something else, when In the HDR Screen and the second screen slider screen to adjust brightness the console is not letting me exit the screen and I have to reset or turn off to return to normal.

As with most new console launches, manufacturing hiccups will occur.

Probably less than 1% of Switch 2s sold, but when you're part of the 1% it stings.

Switch Physical Collection - 1,473 games (as of July 4th, 2025)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 2 games (as of June 9th, 2025)

Hrm... not really anything so far.

At first I thought my home button wasn't working to wake it up from sleep, but then I realized I was mashing the Gamechat button lol

The only behavior I would say is odd, is that the part where it has you press the same button three times to wake up sometimes takes a bit to register.

Bloop.

AHH! At least three times now, when I've tried to shut down switch 2 via the power menu, the console doesn't register my push down to "shut down" and instead restarts the console. Noooooo!!!😆

Nope. Everything appears to be in order.

@Dhaladog I'm having the same issues 50% of the time on my Switch OLED. It's only been happening since the Switch and Switch 2 system update dropped last week. Perhaps it'll be fixed with the next firmware update if it's affecting a large enough number of Switch 1 and Switch 2 owners?

I'm still getting a random intermittent black screen for a couple of seconds each time it happens. I'm waiting on Nintendo to get back to me about it.

I’ve had Xenoblade Chronicles X crash on me once, never did that on my original switch with over 200+ hours. My brother also got a crash twice with Mario 3D All Stars while playing Galaxy. Besides those things, all good!

Only some issues with game icons not loading and not getting a notification dot on the news app.
And a very weird one where sometimes pressing the home button once to wake the system also goes past the ''lock'' screen (don't have a passcode or anything) as if I've pressed the a button after pressing home to wake.
