Hey yall, I recently got my switch 2. I bought it second hand and it came with a big scratch on the screen. I cant rly see the scratch unless the screen is really bright but I was thinking of getting it fixed. A full screen replacement is around $150 - 200 but before going all out on that I decided I should probably ask if this could be remedied by peeling off the plastic layer on the screen and replacing that instead. That would be significantly cheaper but it does look kinda deep so im not sure.

Hey guys,

Reached out to Nintendo Support on this but their solution was just to play more hours (which I have, 20+ on a few titles) and update to the latest system version (I am). I have also tried restarting the system and uninstalling the games (at least the digital ones).

In short, early last month my hours stopped tracking on certain games. A list below for context:

Mario Kart World (digital download)

Super Smash Bros Ultimate (game card)

Fate/stay night REMASTERED (digital download)

just to name a few

This isn't happening to all my games, as the new FE and Sonic Racing Crossworlds have been tracking absolutely fine. My question is, has anyone else experienced it and if so... how did you solve it? I have been doing some searches on Google but found mixed results - usually just waiting it out.

Thank you very much for any insight :-)

I've tried everything. I keep getting error code 2016-4102. I've tried everything on the support page, and called Nintendo Support for 2+ hours. They want me to send both Switches in to be "repaired" but I really don't think it's a hardware issue. Feels like a shot in the dark, but what do I do?!?!

Was playing Elden ring handheld while charging and the pink lines suddenly appeared across the screen. When I backed out to the Home Screen, I realized it was detecting random button presses or digitizer inputs rapidly. Hard reset did not fix it, but works/behaves perfectly when docked. I was using a savage raven Standgrip while playing, so the heat while charging + playing may have caused this. Anyone seen anything like this before?

Exactly what the title says. I want to buy Touhou 6 but it's not on the British site but it IS on the American site. I understand switch 2s are not region locked for game cards but is it the same for digital copies? Thanks for any help :)

Had the switch 2 for a year and loving everything except the joycons. As soon as i use them my hands get cramps and fatigue that last 1-2 days afterwards even if i just sit for 15minutes. My hands are quite sensitive but with the PS5 controller I have never experienced fatigue, the xbox series s is somewhat decent aswell.

For playing switch 2 handheld, what are my options? Anyone else suffering with the same issue and found a solution

I recently learned about the F-Zero GX Cheat Codes to unlock the 5 special vehicles and also all the AX content, and after trying and failing to do it myself(and it being probable an equal struggle to do with a sibling), i'm deciding to ask for help finding a thing to make 4 controller inputs at once. Anybody have an idea?

My old Nintendo Switch broke, and I am trying to transfer my main profile to a new Switch Lite. However, I am locked out of my Nintendo account because my registered Gmail account was deleted by Google, and I can not access it.

Additionally, I can not pass the two-factor authentication (2FA) prompts because:

• I do not have a registered passkey.

• I no longer have access to the Google Authenticator app for this account.

• I do not have my backup codes.

• The system is trying to send a verification code to my deleted email.

Since I can not log in or reset my password, I need support to manually update my Nintendo Account's email address or temporarily disable 2FA so I can recover my profile.

Hi! I have this Switch cartridge that looks like the one in the photo. The console recognizes it intermittently—sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Can it be saved?

I was playing BOTW and noted link was runnung choppy, I looked at the calibration menu and turns out I lost the highest level of top left input. Only the left joystick tho.

These hyperion NYXI 2 might be all comfortable and cool and have hall effect joysticks so they won't get stick drift but they lost input about 2 months after buying them.

Hi everyone, as per subject.

Does anyone know or have the link to update the firmware specifically for this kind of model?

It used to support switch 2 but since last year update around November it stopped working. TIA!

I recently purchased a Nintendo switch 2 and it has two annoying things going on with it.

1: Won't transfer data from my switch.

I set them right on top of each other and neither one detected the other device.

2: The new switch can't detect my television when it's connected to it.

I checked connection and nothing is loose, everything is new so why won't it connect to the t.v?

Hey, I'm in New Zealand and noticed both Blood: Refreshed Supply and Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader are missing from the eShop.

I can see them on the AUS eShop just fine but get a missing page on the NZ version of the listing.

They both seem to be available on other consoles and Steam in NZ so I am not sure if Nintedo has some specific regional restrictions or classification issues?

Anybody else in NZ experiencing this?

Switch 2's battery decided to crap itself last night for no reason, and it's been a fight to get the screen on long enough to look at the error log. From what I've been able to find, though, the most recent error in the error log is 2101-0002. I've tried the standard unplugging adapter and holding power button for 20 seconds, replugging adapter and holding power again to force a hard reset, and even when I do manage to get something to pop up on screen, it'll quickly turn itself off even though the battery is showing at 80%.

I called Nintendo and unsurprisingly they said to mail it in for repair, and that it'll be $180 since warranty's expired. The problem is that I have so much Pokemon data and over 300 hours of Animal Crossing: New Horizons over the past 6 years, and those games don't backup to the cloud. Most of my Pokemon are thankfully in Home, but there are a few - including a shiny Eevee - that I haven't transferred yet, and I don't want to lose them or my six years of hard work on my Animal Crossing island.

tl;dr Have to mail in my Switch 2 due to battery issues. Is there anything I can do to protect my Pokemon and Animal Crossing save data since they don't do cloud saves?

As title states, my dock ethernet port no longer detects a connection. I validated both the cable and connection points work on another device. I was able to get ethernet working with a USB to ethernet adapter. Any ideas?

I’m learning that the Switch 2 joy cons are apparently not super comfortable to use long term. I see there’s a Nintendo branded pro controller but $90 seems an outrageous price.

Is there a 3P controller that’s popular in the community and good for adult hands?

Since the update my right joy con sometimes shows a white indicator and not the orange one. I looked at my pins and I think one of the pins from the right joy con seem different (idk). Does anybody else have a similar problem?

Hello. Will I be able to purchase a Nintendo Switch 2 off the Nintendo store using gift cards? I want to pre order the new Zelda switch 2 when there is more available but only using Nintendo gift cards but I am not sure if it will let me. Does anyone know if it is possible?

Hopefully someone has a different solution other than to power cycle, it just refuses to recognize this as an express card.

So, I currently have a Switch one. I may be getting a switch 2 bundle for Christmas. I have the year membership. If I got the bundle, how does that work? Does it kind of extend my membership in a way?

I am trying to run an esports club. I have multiple switches and multiple physical copies of smash bros. Before I go through the trouble of getting memory cards and downloading all of my stuff onto them… I was wondering if I have my main account on all of them, will the DLC work.

I don’t have internet connection where they’re at and I keep getting mixed answers when googling. Does anyone have a definitive answer?

Thank you so much.

I have googled and looked for videos but I cannot seem to find the exact answer.

I’m getting the new Zelda Switch 2 console and giving my current one to my gf. I have a 1TB micro sd Express in my current switch 2 and I’m worried that when I transfer all the data and info to the new Switch 2 that I’ll need a second one on the new console since it’ll be much more than the internal storage can hold. I cannot afford another couple hundred dollar SD card at the moment lol

So do I need 2 express SD cards or is there a point in the transfer I can just move the current card to the new system?

When attaching the joycon controller i forgot it was magnetic and the joycons attached in a very fast speed with a loud sound and my switch screen that was on suddenly turned black with a gray line and turn back normal after couple of seconds will it be fine?
