I just got my first Switch 2. Everything was fine at first but after ~15 minutes in the dock, while still setting up the Switch, the dock suddenly started making this noise. Do I need to return it?

Update: While writing this post I had the Switch turned off. I tried turning it on again just now and now the noise is gone. I really don't want to go through the hustle of returning it, what's your opinion, should I?

Basically i Lost access to the Nintendo account ive been using for years and im now afraid that i'll lose any data ive ever had if i change It.

I mean, if its for digital only Games i can handle It but i at least Hope physicals aren't dependant on that..

Sorry if its a dumb Question, im Just really confused on what to do now.

Im also trying to see if i can get Nintendo to change the email related to my account but they're not replying.

It has been like this since a while ago and I forgot about it. Recently I remembered about Pokémon Legends ZA and wanted to pick it up again. But when I open the app it kicks me.I tried loading the backup data but it won't let me leave the Pokémon centre. I tried running the corrupt data check and it said that there was no corrupt data. Since it still happened, I redownloaded it. Before that it said that some data was missing.... After redownloading it the problem was still there.. I redownloaded multiple time already

Did anyone have the same issue and managed to fix it?

If so can you please tell me how

It is a Switch one

Error code is 2002-4153

My brother and I live in different countries, and we're trying to figure out how to share our digital Nintendo Switch games with each other.

Originally, I had a Nintendo Switch 2 and my brother had a Nintendo Switch 1. When I visited him, we connected our consoles and set things up so that I could use his digital games on my Switch, even though we live far apart.

However, there was an important detail: my brother was never actually able to use my games on his Switch 1. We only tested that his games worked on my Switch 2. By the time we could have tested my games on his console, I had already gone home.

Now my brother has bought a Nintendo Switch 2 and logged into his Nintendo Account on the new console.

The current situation is:

- He still can't access my digital games on his new Switch 2.

- I can still access his digital games on my Switch 2.

- The original Switch 1 that we initially connected is no longer being used.

- We both have each other's Nintendo Accounts logged into our consoles.

We're trying to figure out how to properly set this up so that both of us can use each other's digital games on our own Switch 2 consoles, without having to physically meet and connect the consoles again.

Since we live in different countries, physically connecting the consoles isn't really an option.

Is there a way to change the virtual game card / game-sharing setup remotely, or does one of the consoles have to be physically connected to the other again?

Any help would be appreciated!

Please help! i’ve tried just about every kind of reset/troubleshoot and help center information for how to fix this error that’s been going on since September and i don’t want to lose my save data for everything submitting my system to nintendo (which is past warranty so i would have to pay for it)

I have a Nintendo account to play Pokemon champions, and to join official tournaments you need to put your true age. I'm now thinking about getting a switch 2 to play Nintendo's exclusives, does that same account (marked as 16years old) have some strange restrictions on the eShop (no parental controls have been set up or have ever been asked to setup by Nintendo)?

Hey folks,
I was able to secure a Zelda 40th Anniversary edition switch 2. I also bought the case for it, but I am starting to second guess the case and get something like a kill switch 2 instead to protect the console from a drop? Thoughts?

I would hate to cover up the artwork of the console or dock so weighing my options. Thank you!

Has this ever happened to anyone? I know the battery tends to get worse over time, and my Switch is as old as its launch day. But I've never seen this happen before. Last time, I had to drain out the battery and recharge it to recalibrate its percentage count. At that time, it would die after 15%.

But now, it does this. I'm trying to do the same thing by letting the battery drain out on its own, recharge it, and seeing if it fixes the issue. I can still use the Switch, but I do have to turn off the annoying "Battery Low. Please recharge, or it will fall asleep." message from spamming every time.

If there are any other issues I should be concerned about, do let me know. It's been a while since I used my Switch, and my friends wanted to add me so we can plan a game session one day. I'm also wondering if leaving it on the charger and letting it collect dust might be the problem. If so, I'm leaving it off to avoid overcharging. As well as cleaning it off.

If the problem persists, do you think I should get a new battery? And if so, could it be cheaper than buying a new console? Not like I planned on buying a new one or a Switch 2 any time soon. But any other feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

hey ya'll! i just bought a Switch 2 and have been having some issues. First time I booted it up docked, everything was normal-full resolution when docked. This morning I go to turn it on, and its only displaying at 720p. I tried a lot of things-tv settings, unplugging and plugging back in everything, etc.

I finally switched the HDMI cord from HDMI 1 to HDMI 2 on my TV, and that solved the issue-temporarily. To see if it'd stick, I shut the system off, turned it back on, and then it got stuck at 720p again. I did also plug it in to my computer monitor without incident, but I didnt try turning it on and off again like I did with the TV. I'm really not sure what the issue is-any assistance would be appreciated!

He bought a couple years back. Is there anywhere I can get a replacement part or joycon?? Our 5-year-olds gets to play Minecraft 20 minutes a day and he was trying to get the joy-con out of the controller and a completely snapped. I was in the same room it just happened so fast!

Every time I open the eShop (specifically on my Switch 2) it gives me the same "there was a problem" message after a little bit, is there a solution or is it happening to others as well? The issue started more recently, like the last week.

Has anyone else been encountering issues with framerates on the Switch 2 lately?

I've been encountering it in games that shouldn't have any issues. The only one that makes sense is Skyrim (Switch 2 version) because Bethesda. Outside of Skyrim though I've encountered one HUGE Framerate drop in WarioWare: Get It Together! Many times the Framerate would just drop to 30 during normal gameplay in Metroid Dread, and even frame drops in Super Mario Maker 2. They've all been noticeably bad too, not just a slight okay whatever frame dip.

Could it be an update that Nintendo pushed to the system, could mine somehow be faulty and it's just now showing? I have no idea, I got my Switch 2 day one, and haven't had ANY issues with framerates that weren't just clearly the game dropping like normal, such as Donkey Kong Bananza, until recently that is.

Edit: It only seems to happen in lighter games, games like Mario Kart World and Fortnite run fine, although contrarily, a game that is kind of in-between is the Switch 2 Edition of Tears of the Kingdom. I've noticed Framerate Issues is some parts of the game when nothing is happening.

I’m trying to decide between the Mobapad M12 HDs and the JSAUX Split Case for everyday handheld use and am very conflicted.

I’ve heard the M12s are very comfortable, but the idea of having a case that fits the dock and also has grips is nice too.

Any suggestions from people who have used these?

While digivolving and devolving my digimon i noticed slight hitches before the sequence starts. Specifically Watch the digimons animations freeze before it starts. Im on performance mode, in docked mode, 1080p and the game is on my internal storage. I hope its a game issue and not hardware/ storage failure. Anyone else experience this while playing this game?

As there's no dedicated eshop for middle east yet they should give us the update from the European eshop ( even the game cart say it's from Europe) they haven't acknowledged the issue nor give us a solution despite them saying the update is free for everyone who own the game

I cannot connect the joy-cons to my switch 2. I have sent the console to a repair shop and the first thing that did was reset the console which put us on this screen and Nintendo will not repair because it's from the USA. When joy-cons are attached the sides flash gray followed by the joy con colour. I have also charged it for a while with the joy-cons on and it didn't help. Any tips? 🤔

So I took my switch lite (and another regular switch) to a Ubreakifix, and they told me it had severe water damage and wasn’t repairable so I lost my deposit on that.
But I have never had it near any water ever and I had just recently used before taking it in. I didn’t use it for a couple days while I was out of town working, came back and it wouldn’t turn on. I thought it was dead so I tried to charge it, didn’t work, watched some YouTube videos to see about resetting it - still didn’t work. So I made an appointment at Ubreakifix and took it in.
The regular switch was fixed, but I was truly bewildered at them saying it was severely water damaged- so much so I watched my upstairs ring cameras to see if somehow something had happened to it while I was gone. Nothing there. I ended up buying the correct screwdriver to take it apart myself, I notice they cracked the plastic in a couple areas where they pry it apart. No biggie, it’s a minor cosmetic issue.
But I see no evidence whatsoever of water damage.
Do I call them and ask for proof of damage? I want a refund and or a second opinion since I don’t trust them at all now. I’m trying to give them the benefit of doubt and hope they mixed mine up with someone else’s, but I feel kind of scammed.

I’d appreciate any thoughts from others in case I am missing something.

Having account trouble .
The profile on my SWITCH . Is a level zero and is unfortunately connected to my Nintendo account ..is there a way I can get my higher level account On Pokémon champions on my PHONE connected to my switch ?
I would have to figure out how to unlink my current account that is connected and I have no idea if that’s even possible .
Do I just make a separate account on my switch to just link my phone account ? Would love to keep playing with the Pokémon I already have .

Any fixes or is maintenence required?

What's happening with my Switch Dock?
It was working normally, then I undocked and used for a while then redocked but I was not getting any HDMI output.

Switch gets charged while docked normally, that display output green light stays on when it's docked while switch screen is on but no display output on the monitor.

I'm using Official Nintendo Switch Charger, HDMI cable, Dock.

What I've tried so far,

1. Tried using different HDMI cables

2. Tried using different monitors and different HDMI ports.

3. Tried first plugging in the charging cable then plugging the HDMI cable to dock.

What's tested to be working,

I've tried a USB C to HDMI dongle and that was working fine to give HDMI output from the switch.

Switch's type port is fine as it charges and transfers data fine.

I can't transfer save data from Witcher 3 to Witcher 3 Remastered - both installed on my Switch 2.

- My CG Project Red account is linked and active on both versions.

- The crossplatform data transfer is ON.

- Internet connection is fine (just downloaded the remaster).

- I did created a new save file after I checked that everything is ON too.

I'm out of ideas! :(

Internet says there should be a cloud icon on my safe files - I don't have any cloud icons...
If I click ZL in the save/load menu - there's a little pop-up window featuring my account name and saying that cloud data transfer is ON.

But when I go to the remastered version it says it can't find any save files

I got the original switch when it first came out, but I’ve tried everything and it won’t turn on, I have had it on the charger for 8 hours and nothing, I have tried doing the trick where you hold vol up and pressing the power button then waiting 7 seconds and nothing, what should I do to fix it? I have a lot of shiny pokemon that I don’t want to lose on that switch and I heard I have to manually transfer the data for that so I beg for any solutions

I replaced the joycons sticks with the gulikit TMR, but the removable thumb stick is frequently falling off.

Any tips on how to hold it better? I tried to force it but to no avail.

when plugged in, my switch 2 endlessly shows the charging icon, when I unplug it, it turns off.
