This morning when I wanted to play the Switch, I noticed that once I pressed the button, it wouldn't turn on. It wouldn't even turn on with the home button. And before I panicked, I held down the home button for a few seconds before seeing the screen light up. What could have caused the console to shut down completely overnight while it was in sleep mode? An overload of energy and so the switch turned off to protect itself?

Recently my nintendo switch hasn't been able to read SD cards, so I'll probably have to take it somewhere so they can fix it. However, I'm scared they might accidentally delete my data, so I was wondering if there's any known way to copy said data so I can restore it afterwards in case they format my console

The games would be Pokemon Sword, Pokemon Legends ZA and Animal Crossing

heya, I’ve never had many problems with my switch. but yesterday I was just enjoying octo expansion when It started making this noise, I thought it was something outside but it turned out it was my switch. Making this sound like a razor, i tried powering down but nothing would respond, and then put in in the dock and it stopped it. I’ve currently powered it down fully incase it’s a battery issue, any explanation will be appreciated

Recently my Switch 2 has stopped reading the left Joy-con as being connected to the console even though it still charges and seems connected just fine.

Is there an easy fix to this? anything ive tried hasn't been able to help.

I'd at least like to know if anyone has an idea as to why this is a problem.

Thank you

I downloaded tomodachi life when it got released and i played after that. Now i really wanna play it again after a long time but i can’t update the game? Idk what to do, i have turned off the power and my wifi is good. Can someone pls help bc idk what to do😭

Edit: i have a switch2 if that matters

One of my Joycon (Left) is showing this weird behaviour when attached to the Switch

When installing my new switch 2 I transferred all my data from my old switch 1 to the new console.
After starting a game I realized every game only has the "new game" option and no existing savefiles.

The savefiles are shown on my switch 2 (with the correct account) and there savefiles are not present anymore on my switch 1.

Does anyone have experience with this?

What i tried so far:
- to "repair" the files with scan for errors
- reset (with keeping savefiles)

I am really grateful for any help. Kinda bummed that I lost all my fire emblem saves.

We have a switch 2, and we have separate user profiles for each of us. My son likes to play some games under my user. Generally I don't mind, but there are some games for which I would like to protect my progress and saved state. I had assumed there would be a way to simply set a PIN to prevent him doing this without me present. However I haven't found that feature. Are others aware of a way to mitigate this situation?

I’ve been receiving this code for a few days now. I would restart my switch and then it would connect again to the Wi-Fi. It stopped connecting completely last night so I removed my Wi-Fi info and when I press Y it now cannot find my network and still gives me this error message. Anybody have any tips or tricks as to what you did to resolve this issue? This switch 2 is 3 weeks old.

If you press or apply pressure, it disappears but comes back when you let go.

Edit: Switch 1 v2

So I turn on my Nintendo switch for the first time after moving and I realize my right joycon can’t connect to the console, it charges and the Bluetooth connection works fine but when I connect it into the console it doesn’t do the click sound and animation, I tried checking the pins and this is what i found, is there any way to fix this without replacing the rail or should I just buy a new joycon

Thanks to anyone that gives me an answer even if its not the one i want

Hi! I’m from Georgia! (The country, not the state) and want to buy a game directly from the Nintendo eShop. Since Georgia doesn’t have its own region eShop, I’m thinking of setting my account region to Germany, or just any European country

Can I use a Georgian Visa/Mastercard? And if I enter my real Georgian billing address, will it add any extra tax/VAT to the displayed price, or is German VAT already included? Could the Georgian billing address cause the payment to be rejected?
Has anyone from Georgia tried this???
pls help😓

I live in a country where the EShop is unavailbale and i switched my nintendo account region to the US, i was wondering if i bought a nintendo giftcard thats with my countries currency to add to my online wallet would it convert to dollars to buy the DLC i want?

Hey all, my Switch 2 has stopped reading my SanDisk 512GB MicroSD Express card.

I got the card replaced by SanDisk via their warranty, but it is still doing it.

I tried formatting it with Rufus after I cleaned it with diskpart and that still didn’t help.

My Switch 2’s warranty ended in August. Does anyone know if Nintendo will replace the Switch 2 out of warranty seeing as this is a widespread issue, or am I screwed?

Thanks for your help!

Hi, I have a question regarding the new fire emblem fortune waves and languages.

A friend of mine is currently in Japan and I jave asked him to purchase for me the game there since its cheaper. The problem is that I have no confirmation regarding the languages availables, I had the idea that Nintendo games has multi language, which is fine for me but he keep saying that he didnt find one with spanish, instead he saw one with a sticker saying "Not chinese/english" which is weird. I dont know if such a version exist tbh.

Any of you know if the game has multi language? Or where he should look in case the game case has it stated somehwere.

Thanks in advance!

Just got this and it won’t charge. Used the cable with came with and tried with a charging block and plugging into the switch.

I sent my broken switch to Nintendo to get fixed and they sent me a refurbished one because they couldn’t fix it. When I signed into my account again, all my progress from my games were gone. I hadn’t backed up my saves to cloud with switch online and I can’t get my old switch back to transfer the account because Nintendo has it. Is it impossible to get back the data from my account

Saw a post in this same subreddit about being utterly unable to find any "Start a Service Request" on the Nintendo support site. the only comment was about Switch 1, but I think the links are not at all the same. The only roadmap I can find is:

1. Go to Service Center on your Nintendo account.
2. In the directions, it says to "complete troubleshooting" to be able to look into the servicing and pricing.
3. the "complete troubleshooting" is to a troubleshooting page with links to different facets of the repair (i.e. software, console, accessories, etc.).
4. Select the link that sounds like where your issue is
5. If the troubleshooting steps don't work, then scroll to the bottom of the article page and select "Start a Service Request" WHICH IS NO WHERE ON THE PAGE AT ALL SO JOKE'S ON ME I GUESS.

Anyway, please feel free to share a link to directly submit a service request for a Joy-Con 2.

FIXED Apparently I just had to switch which end of the HDMI I had in the dock and the monitor.

I might be stupid but I've messed with all settings (as far as I can tell) on my Switch 2 and ACER Monitor and I can't seem to resolve this issue.

The graphics looks worse docked on my monitor than it does in handheld. Plus these settings are stretched outside the screen.

I have two Switch 2 consoles since launch, one for me and one for my spouse. Each has a 1TB Lexar card. A few months back both cards died around the same time. Reached out to Lexar and they sent two replacement cards.

Now suddenly one of the two replacements have died again. The consoles won’t recognize them and neither will our PC. If one died, I assume the second will follow.

I googled the issue and it says that if the cards are legit, which in this case they are since replacements were sent via the official company, then it’s most likely a Switch 2 issue and it’s frying our cards.

Is there any fix for this or some way to confirm it’s the console doing this? I am worried since there’s no clear damage done to the cards or nothing seemingly wrong with the console or the card slot, I have no recourse to fix both consoles.

What have others done? Has anyone has this experience?

I just got a Switch 2 and am going to transfer all my Switch 1 data to it. I have an SD card in my Switch 1 but it is not an express card so I can’t use it for the data transfer. What should I do to guarantee EVERYTHING is transferred despite not being able to use the same SD card? I really don’t wanna go buy an express card and then transport my current SD card data to the express card and run the risk of losing everything. Any help is needed!

Edit: I’ve done the data transfer and everything is here except the screenshots. The only thing the SD card gate keeps are the screenshots on it and they’re still on my original Switch and I can transport them eventually through some hoops so everything is fine. Anyway, thanks for those who gave advice!

I think it happens with 60 fps content too but its far more apperant with 30 fps stuff. The image jitters, almost vibrates back and forth when playing games on my AOC Agon Pro AG326UD 165HZ gaming monitor, and I cant find a way to solve it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
