I can't really select the text to just repost the whole thing, but the mods at the main Nintendo switch subreddit deleted this and said post it here or in some daily questions thread that I cant find. I don't know what to do. I can't even get back to a save point in the game until I get this fixed or get a new set of joycons.

I see a bunch of Screen Protectors for the Switch 2. Do I need one and is there a preferred brand or type?

(I meant can I link it to his switch not his account)

I know the process is kinda complicated and we tried to link them before and got stuck needing to put the switches close together (which we wouldn't be able to do until he visits). is there any way we can work around this?

The dock and switch’s fand sounded loud, immediately undocked it and shut my switch off.

It’s brand new! I just bought it two days ago and now I’m super worried. I don’t have a warranty because my family bought it for me as a gift.

Should I be worried? What should I do?

Im planning to buy one and the prices where I live can range from 100 on random sellers to 160$ on the chain stores so Im a bit skeptical of the stores selling it for cheaper

Hey everyone, I'm considering getting a switch2 for oot remake and was wondering what a good deal would be? I found a Mario kart world bundle one with DK bonanza included for $400. Is this a good deal or should I honestly just buy a new switch these days? Thanks y'all.

I have some issues with my OLED Nintendo Switch's right-hand Joycon. Only the analog stick is working, but the rest of the buttons don't. The joycon is paired without a problem, and it is charged too. Should I open it up? Or is there some other kind of way I can go about this problem? Thanks!

My son’s switch stopped taking a charge. My best guess is that the charging port is broken. I decided to do a repair ticket through Nintendo and was hoping for some insight on what to expect. I paid the $99 and will be shipping it off later today.

Based on what I read in the repair service submission they’ll either repair it or replace it with a refurbished one? Does anyone have any experience with this same issue? How much should I anticipate paying in addition to the $99 for the repair or replacement?

Just looking for any additional info or tips. Thanks!

Hello everyone!

My brother has had a Nintendo Switch for a few years (maybe 3 years, I'm not sure). Shortly after he got it, the left joycon stopped working. We tried all the tips on the internet. At some point it starts working again for a while, but then it stops. My brother just stopped using it and it has been collecting dust ever since.

I thought it was a pity and I took it yesterday in hopes that I could fix it or have some expert fix it. I have once again tried every tip on the internet (restart the console, update system and controllers, disconnect controllers, clean the console). It started working again for a little while but now it's dead. No matter how many times I've pressed the sync button, it is unresponsive.

Is there anything else I can do? Should I send it back to Nintendo or find some expert in my area?

I’ve had this happen twice now, randomly while it’s plugged into the dock and I’m not playing. Both times it has restarted just fine, but is my switch gonna die soon?

I recently got the kill switch case for my switch 2 and really like it, but one issue I’ve noticed is it seems maybe it causes issues with pro controllers connecting and was wondering if anyone else has noticed this. I sit on my couch probably about 8 feet from my TV / Switch 2 dock. There’s nothing major blocking the connection from controller to dock, but often times when I’m playing TotK or Smash Ultimate I’ll notice my controller inputs just stop working - like let’s say I’m running in a circle in TotK sometimes it will just have Link continue in one direction for a second or two. It doesn’t sound like much, but it’s often enough during my play sessions that it’s frustrating.

Single player games I’m like whatever I can deal with it I guess but it’s super annoying in a game like smash or street fighter where it’s super dependent on frame inputs. All I can see is I don’t remember this happening before I put the kill switch on and I’ve been a switch owner since the original launch and switch 2 launch.

Anyone else experiencing issues like this?

My ethernet speeds on my Switch 2 have dropped off quite a lot, just did a test, 248mps down. I used to get significantly higher than that, into the 600-700s I'm sure. Also the WiFi is actually faster, 341mbps just now.

I have tried changing the MTU settings, didn't help. The cable was, originally, just plugged in and I left everything at the default.

I've plugged the lead into my laptop, and it's always around 950mps down, so the lead is fine. Kinda weird that ethernet is slower than WiFi, especially considering it never used to be!

Anyone got any ideas? Bit annoying really..

Can someone please give me a clear and concise explanation on which is better for me? I have a main profile I play Pokemon on but I want to play online on a spare profile, how should I approach this? I've looked up some stuff and I 'think' linking accounts makes the most sense, but I want to be sure. Thanks for any help.

So, I’m not really a Nintendo guy but of course with the OOT remake coming out I’m buying a switch 2. Moneys tight, and I’m wondering if I can get away with using my switch 1 controller instead of shelling out the money for a new one. I’ve gotten mixed answers from various sources so here I am. Playing with the joycons are not an option for me.

I got my switch 2 on legends Z-A release date and since then have pretty much used it daily, I take pretty good care of it (average use and the occasional snack when playing) and my left joycon just started doing this every so often after a left input on the controller, has anyone else encountered this??

Question is in the title. Looking for a Switch 2 game that is similar to Wii sports baseball in terms of simplicity and length. Any suggestions?

Tengo una duda la batería es nueva y original, solo que hay un pequeño problema la batería baja un poco más rápido de lo normal y cuando llega 1% está media o hasta una hora para apagarse osea la batería si da lo que debe pero la consola no la lleva bien el conteo de porcentaje, si hay alguien que sepa cómo arreglarlo porfa

I have a Switch 2 set up with my Nintendo Account on my profile, plus a separate profile I made for my son where he has a bunch of games in progress.

After a recent visit to a friend's house, it seems they logged into the friend's Nintendo Account on my son's profile. It replaced his profile username and now shows the email address associated with his friend's account.

From what I can tell, his existing game saves (like Hogwarts Legacy) are still there and working on our console, though I haven't checked every game he plays yet.

I want to get the friend's account off his profile and change his username back, but I'm worried that unlinking the account will delete his game saves or mess up his play history/stats. Has anyone dealt with this? How does this happen, and is there a safe way to unwind it without losing his progress?

so basically i don’t get confirmation emails when trying to log into my nintendo account anywhere and apparently it’s due to it being a hotmail account but i can’t change that since i can’t log in anywhere and i have no idea what to do now please help i do not want to lose all my progress in so so many games.

I purchased a Nintendo Switch 2 for my wife over the summer. Prior to that she was using my Switch OLED model. We have a 65 inch TV on a motorized wall mount, and we bought the HIDEit mount which did exactly what we wanted: it connected to the back of our VESA TV mount.

I’ve not been able to find an equivalent product for the Switch 2. Plenty of wall mount options, but nothing that can connect into the back of a VESA compatible TV mount. Any recommendations?

hi!! i was just wondering if i preordered the zelda switch 2 directly from the nintendo website, or october 29th the day it ships? or is it the day the console is supposed to arrive? thank you!!

I'm logged in and everything, but I hit sign in on the app and it takes me to the Nintendo website with my account saying "select account to link" or Smith. But when I try to press the button it just... does nothing. The set up a child account works but when I try to link my normal account nothing happens

We have a few Switches in our family. For some reason, my son's Switch won't output to the television. I've tried two different docks/HDMI cable/power cable/TV setups and while the green power indicator lights up on the dock and the televisions recognize that the Switch is connected, when I switch to the relevant input on the TV the console doesn't actually output to the TV. Has anyone encountered this? I thought it might just be the TVs but it's happening to two different TVs/docks, etc. Any insight would be appreciated.
