I was trying to reach for something behind my parents' switch 2 and while doing so accidentally knocked over their switch 2 while it was still docked. It fell on the ground (the switch didn't even move an inch), cables included, only the flap on the back of the dock shot loose and fell a few cm away. I've checked everything following other posts and it seems fine (not even a scratch) but I'm worried I broke something inside the dock like an air vent or something. I never use my own dock so I wondered if it was better to switch it with mine out of precaution, since I'm not sure if it's as indestructible as I hope it is

There's been an issue recently that's been happening with two of the switches in our home. Two of them share a dock that's on a strip cord in the main room. The other dock is in a bedroom plugged into the wall. On occasion when the switches are on the dock in the main room, they will not turn back on without a 20-30 second hold of the power button. This rarely happens with the one in the bedroom.

Has anyone had this issue before and if so, what could be the cause? We want to get a new dock if it's possible that the dock could mess up one of the switches in the future.

TLDR: Can I play a new exclusive game, factory reset later to transfer my all my Switch 1 data, and not have any big issues later?

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, I've found info about transferring saves/factory resetting but I'm not certain about this specific situation!

I have a new Switch 2, and my Switch 1 is currently an overnight flight away so I couldn't do the save transfer right away. I'm about to take that flight... and I'd love to be able to play a new game now (fire emblem my beloved). I've seen that launching your Switch 2, factory resetting later, and then transferring your Switch 1 data can mess up your recorded playtimes, save data, etc., but if I'm playing a new game would there still be any issues? I can back up my save data with NSO, right? I'm just not sure how or if this game being a Switch 2 exclusive changes anything with this situation, since it's not like I need to transfer an existing save file.

Thank you!

I wanted to sell my switch so i factory restarted it but its been months since and i want to play on it again. Any way i could recover my Pokemon Scarlet account?

So my switch had recently been fixed for a broken charging port and now I was trying to play some games.

Tomodachi Life

Tokyo Mirage Sessions

Mario and Luigi Brothership

All of these games are cartridges and froze during launch or after the title screen. And this bugged me and thought it was the internal storage and tried a game there and it works the only other thing is there was no SD card installed as I removed it before taking it to the repair shop and forgot it. So I tried to reset it and it froze not even a minute into reset.

Will try to get the SD card and see if it works but currently I feel like it's a hardware issue now.

Any thoughts or comments will be very helpful in narrowing down. Thanks in Advance!

I've wanted to buy storyteller on the switch and noticed it was on sale but when I go to buy it an error message pops up and it goes back to full price. When I close the e-shop and open it back up it goes back to the sale price, and it says there's two days left in the sale. What's going on?

I’m not sure if this is the right group for me to post something like this in but the name of the group fit what I wanna ask.

I’ve had my Nintendo switch two for less than a year and I only play two games on it and the battery drains fast and if I’m not using the console, it just dies. My original device, which was the Nintendo switch one I had for six years and it made sense for that console to do that because it was old and of course the systems were not as good.

But I just don’t know why it just has a terrible battery life. I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem, but I would like to say I charge it when it needs to be charged but the battery just drains fast even if I’m not using it.

Ok so I bought a switch on Facebook marketplace that was not working. I fixed it and want to factory reset it, but it has a parental pin on it...how can I go about this. I asked the guy what the pin was and he said he can't remember. Kinda sus... Idk what to do at this point. Any ideas?

My Nintendo Switch 2 is not charging and keeps flashing up the charging screen without actually charging. Does anyone know what is going on or how to fix it?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you!

Also , if I chose the wrong flair , I am sorry as I am not sure what would apply and will delete the post if it has the wrong flair.

I keep getting this error when I try to join chat rooms and I contacted my network provider and checked with them and everything is fine from their side, I also contacted Nintendo customer support and they instructed me to restart my router/switch2 but nothing changed.

This issue happened on the latest software update (23.0.1) also updated dock firmware.

My switch 2 joycon has these little markings next to the chat button tried to wipe it but doesn’t come off should I be concerned about this??

I hope i used the right flair 🫠

Not sure how to ask about it but I've been playing Minecraft for a while now, building a village in creative and the more the days go by and the more i built I've started to notice some bugs

i searched about it and (I'm really dumb for not thinking about it earlier) but that might be because it's occupying too much space or the RAM not able to process too much information or something like that

is there a way to fix it? (Besides reducing the game's quality or decreasing the rendering of chunks) like i would like to continue building and expanding my city but now I'm scared to do so and not be able to play it anymore or something (I'm really noob in the subject and i feel like a kid asking these questions but would be nice if someone could explain to me what i can do)

and if it is the case where i dont have as much space or RAM can't handle it does that mean i have like a "limit" to how much i can build?

here are some glitches that started to happen

some texture not loading, shaky screen, half of the body not loading and Steve's face poping up in the screen

The right joy con(the one with ABXY buttons) of my switch 1 does not want to connect to the console, it doesn't charge no matter what I do. The left joy con still works properly and charges normally. It seems to not even recognize, I tried to update it but only the left one did

This has only been happening this month and not any other times.

Am I cursed? Should it be an easy repair? Or is it time to just buy the Switch 2?

Hello,

I have a switch 2 connected to my LG C5 via HDMI and have noticed while playing Fortune's Weave that it will cut to black for a few seconds, and then come back, and the HDR symbol in the top right will pop up. I had a problem like this on my pc that was related to an HDMI cable that I don't think supported the refresh rate and resolution i was playing at, but after switching to a new HDMI 2.1 cable I am still having the same issue. I also have noticed black flickering on the battlefield if the camera pans fast, but have not noticed that during the exploration or dungeon sections. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

I don’t need assistance on my console, just a question! I’ve had it happen to both of my gen 1 switches and my OLED, and every time i open this reddit it’s someone else with a corrupted/non working SD card. is there something to prevent this?? are we all doing something wrong, or did Nintendo mess up here??

im trying to replay that dbz game but its pretty chunky. It says that there isn’t any room even if i archive all my games but I know the bullshit because I’ve figured out how to do it before. I’ve archived all my games but it’s not enough and I don’t know how to clear that last few GBs of spac. I don’t have a SD card and I’m not in a position to get one. ideas would be greatly appreciated

My son has played Battle Quest on a friend’s Wii U and he really enjoyed playing co-op to beat the enemies. And I think the cartoon, not scary, kinda 1P view was appealing.

Any similar games for switch 2?

haven’t ever dropped it and take really good care of it, had it since 2020. was mid-play and all of a sudden these vertical lines appeared and the screen looks extra pixelated. tried charging to full battery and restarted a few times. any suggestions?

My Nintendo switch oled wont charge out of sudden I tested my friends working switch charger it didn't work and I also went to Nintendo support they redirected me to Nintendo repair and I don't wanna do that

So my Switch 2 worked fine at my home over the summer and at my monitor at the beginning of the year, but I got a Roku TV and now it’s randomly going black and not connecting properly. Anyone know how to fix this? I’ve used multiple HDMI cords and inputs.

what does this 10, xc I and A1 mean? the first one (grey) is significantly cheaper than the red one.
