If the air intake is blocked , like Mr. sanderev pointed out, the fan and the air vent at the top become practically useless. I know this because that’s how unloader valves work on an air compressor. When the air compressor has met it’s pressure set point, the unloader valve will close and the air compressor will stop compressing air (eventhough the compressor is still running)
Think of an air fan like a water pump. A water pump needs a supply of water or it will not pump water. Just like a fan needs a supply of air or it will not blow air.

Nintendo made the “new 3DS” , the “new 3DS XL” and the “new 2DS XL”. They also made the “3DS XL” and “2DS”.
That’s 5 consoles Nintendo made after the original “3DS”. Perhaps they should make a seventh version of the 3DS?
(BTW, I’m just teasing you, I know what you mean)
@Jeff2sayshi yah I hear you. Yokai Watch 3 was the one that got away. Went to order it Amazon two days after it came out and it was already sold out. Then when it came back in stock a month later it was listed at $99.99!
The old generation is always complaining how weak and useless the new generation is and it will probably be the same when we are old too. It’s natural to have fears/feel threatened of younger people when you are old and that is what Mr. Thibodeau is projecting.
Fun to watch but I wouldn’t trust an ifixit video for a teardown. I’m glad ifixit didn’t break the oled Switch in this teardown like they with the New 2ds XL.

PSA to all. Do not block the air intake on the back of the Switch!

Re: Wingspan: European Expansion Takes Flight On Switch Soon
Haven’t played Wingspan yet (video or board).
Stonemaier Games does make my favourite board game though, Scythe! Lots of fun and can be played solo.
