Even Tokyo is seeing continued temperatures over 35\u00b0C. This is the first time Japan has experienced this kind of continued heat in June since data began being tracked in 1875 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/japanese\/61976812\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BBC<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This historic heat has not only increased the risk of heatstroke but caused the government to warn of potential energy shortages at one point. However, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida held a press conference on July 11 predicting that the energy supply would remain stable (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.itmedia.co.jp\/news\/articles\/2207\/11\/news174.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ITmedia<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japan experiencing such a heatwave despite summer only just beginning is likely what led Nintendo to issue the warning. Nintendo also added, \u201cWhen the console becomes too hot, it may automatically enter sleep mode as a safeguard. When playing in TV Mode, please place the dock in a location that doesn\u2019t trap heat.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an aside, this isn\u2019t the first time Nintendo has issued such a warning. They also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nintendo_cs\/status\/1419856363811868675\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tweeted<\/a> the same information last year on July 27 (JST). Japan experienced hotter weather earlier than usual last year, but with this year getting hotter even sooner, Nintendo issued their warning earlier as well. For our own safety and for the safety of our game consoles, let\u2019s make sure not to play games in hot areas this summer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nintendo\u2019s Japanese customer support Twitter account recently tweeted out a warning reminding users not to play their Nintendo Switch consoles in high temperature areas.
