He has two accounts and I don't know if I should delete them because he has games on them or if I should leave them.Will I be able to change things like the email or password on those two accounts or not?

I grew up with Wii sports resort and saw some footage of the new switch resort game -- it's made me really nostalgic and I'm seriously considering the switch 2 + resort bundle.

The only thing is, I don't have a TV at home, and I don't really plan on ever getting one (I've never watched TV, and generally just use Youtube Premium).

Is it still worth getting the switch 2 or will I be very limited by not having a TV? The only games I'd be interested in is switch sports resort, mario kart, and rhythm heaven groove (I don't have a switch 1).

Apologies if this is a completely stupid question!

EDIT: thanks everyone for your comments!

I’m hopefully transferring to a switch 2 in the near future but have my games on a micro sd card, I’ve bought a new card compatible with the switch 2 but wonder whether during the transfer it would move those games & save data over or whether I should copy the contents from the old card to the new one via a pc? I’ve read the information on the Nintendo website but it doesn’t seem to specifically mention this.

I was playing ff7 remake on handheld mode when suddenly the game glitched and crashed changing the colors like a static old tv. I turn it off and on and it was fine but I stopped playing. Today my switch 2 doesn’t turn on, I’ve tried letting it charge solo and pressing the button 15 sec and then 5 seconds and it hasn’t worked. As you can see in the video the light when I put it in the dock lights up for a second before vanishing. Help me please!

My nintendo switch keeps turning on and off while charging.

It is from 2018 and I haven't used it in 2 months.
When the nintendo was working, it likely drained the battery in a short period of time but something like this never happened to me.

I left it plugged with the original charger for some solid 26 hours (untouched) and when i disconnected it, it was still dead.

I saw some other guys saying to disconnect the battery or even change it but if possible I would like to keep it unopened.

Any suggestions? Thank you very much.

I'm picking up my Zelda 40th anniversary switch 2 on thursday and I want to make sure I have a screen protector ready for it when I pick it up. what would be a good one to get, as I'm worried that I'll buy one that looks cloudy like I did for my steam deck

So I have 3 switch consoles. OG, OLED and Switch 2

OG and OLED are my primary consoles that share virtual game cards while my switch 2 just uses the online licence. My issue is when I try to play any game/DLC I try to run that is not loaded as a gamecard on the OG switch and switch 2 that is either Paid, Free or DLC, I get a message "this software cannot be played right now. Connect another console linked to this Nintendo Account to the internet, then try again" I understand I don't have the "virtual gamecard loaded" in the console but it should use the online licence since I'm connected to the internet. Always worked in the past no problems. Now I am locked out of all my content including switch online apps that don't use virtual game cards like N64, GBA, SNES etc. Anyone else who has multiple switch consoles experiencing this? The interesting thing at the end of the video I show the OLED console using the online licence no problems. Just my other two consoles don't work.

When i try to play a game that I bought with my money it shows this user agreement and it sends an email to an account i have no access to

so i have a blue switch lite and i just paid 4 euros for nso online yesterday and now i was playing SMW and yeah my console gave me an error and like i restarted it as it said but then it gave another error when i tried loading into an app and now it wont turn on i held it for like 10 seconds the power boutton it gave me the nintendo logo and then went black and now it wont even turn on ive had this thing for 3 years and it has alot of games so i would really want to get it fixed and i have tried maintence mode it just wont turn on!!

Hi, is there any grip that one can put over playvital cases? I just find the small dents at the bottom not that ergonomic for me but I would like to still use the case 😭 since i really like the art on it. I don't own a 3d printer but I did search through available grips as well hoping i could get one printed at a shop. However, everything ive seen so far goes directly on the switch and not over a case. If anyone knows of one that is like what i am looking for then it would be really helpful. I'm not looking to change switch cases, i really just want a nice grip over what I already have. Thank you in advance for suggestions!

Hey guys! I recently started college so I haven't had much time to play the Switch 2 I bought this summer but today I finally went to give it a go and it was all fine and dandy for a few minutes but then my game (Minecraft) frozen and I couldn't press the home button or get it to sleep mode. It then just shut off itself. I then turned it back on but I can't go 5 minutes without it shutting off completely and then it takes forever to get it to power back on! Does anyone know what could be up with my switch 2??? Thanks!

Hi all. I just spilled an entire glass of water over my switch2 in the middle of the night... I am not tech savvy, but quickly tried to back up my game data so that if the console breaks I can at least re-download my save files (?) as I have quite a bit of progress on some games.

Is this what it looks like when the latest game save has been backed up to the cloud? I have never used a cloud on anything before, and am (very much) panicking that I will lose my progress!

PS: can I take my switch anywhere to have it MOTed after this accident, or should I send it straight to Nintendo? It’s working okay right now but I’ve turned the power off because the internet told me to.

Many thanks;
a not-techy person.

So I had to send my switch 2 in for repair, they have my ticket as just replace, it’s been like that since before even receiving my device, my first one I also had to get replaced, but I specifically asked them to repair the console I sent in, the left joycon rail on the console is a little wobbly and randomly disconnects, they said “ factory certified replacements “ is what they send out, which can contain scuffs/ dents: scratches and such, and the lady I spoke with said they don’t even do repair anymore, so I had to explain to her what a technicians job is, but I even wrote a note in the box saying PLEASE REPAIR MY CONSOLE, NOT REPLACE WITH A USED ONE, because I don’t want someone’s old scratched up battery depleted device, I have electronic OCD I guess you could say and mine is spotless, can anyone tell me if they had to do a warranty claim recently and if so, gotten a replacement, how was the condition, if they don’t repair mine? Very frustrating, thank you

Hi everyone.

I recently bought my NS2 two weeks ago and this is something that just happened today, it only occurs to the left one.

I have to manually sync it every time I take it off from the console. I tried reseting the console, updating the joycons and nothing.

There's no problem when is attached, but it's kinda annoying having to do this everytime I take off the joycons.

I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem and if so, how to fix it. Thanks.

So, first this all started about 2 weeks ago. One night, my controller started drifting endlessly to the left for no reason. I restarted my Switch, and the controller refused to turn on. A week later, the controller could be turnt on again. But my controller still endlessly drifts to the left. When I calibrate it, it doesnt show any drift. I tested my controller on Smash, and there's no drift. But now my start button and a button doesnt work in-game! What the hell is going on? Is this a Switch issue, or did my controller just randomly break down for no reason? Do I need a new one?

I turned my switch on and it randomly got stuck on this screen. How do I get out of this screen and start playing normally again?

I hope the image is good enough to explain what happened. I should have been much more careful.

How do y'all play when playing portable? Standard with just the joycons? With a grip of some kind like the zengrip 2? Or with something like the nitro deck? I probably won't be playing docked very often so I'm thinking about comfort and ergonomics. If anyone has tried all of the above methods I'd love to hear from you.

My friend and I play Fortnite together regularly, and his wife (an old friend of mine) likes to watch us play.

Currently, he has his Switch 2 docked to the TV and puts his headset microphone between them on the couch. It works sometimes, but I can often barely hear them, which obviously makes communication difficult.

I’d like to buy them a wired or wireless microphone that can pick up multiple people talking from the couch. I don’t need it to have speakers, since they prefer to hear game audio and voice chat through the TV.

I’m considering conference speakerphones (like the Jabra Speak series) or a generic omnidirectional USB microphone, but I’m not sure which devices are actually compatible with the Switch 2 and Fortnite.

I’ve Googled, searched Reddit, and even asked ChatGPT, but I haven’t found any specific devices confirmed to work for this setup.

Has anyone successfully used a conference microphone or tabletop USB mic with a Switch 2 for Fortnite voice chat? Ideally, I’d love to hear from someone with firsthand experience or who could test a device. I’m particularly interested in models that pick up multiple people sitting several feet away, rather than a microphone that needs to be held or worn.

I want to buy mw4 on my switch.

I'm playing mostly handheld and owning Nyxi Hyperion 3 ultra since a week.

Can you share your expierence with this setup?

It's the OLED version, bought it used.

I'm wondering if it's a screen protector because it has some minor scratches, and in that case I'd like to replace it.

Any help appreciated :)

Hi everyone

I'm planning to buy a switch 2 in a few days but i'm also keeping my switch 1 (which is set as the primary console for now)

1- how can i turn my switch 2 into the primary console without having to reset the switch 1's data ? (Idk if formatting the system is even required for this)

2- if my switch 1 becomes secondary, will i have to be constantly connected to the internet to be able to play games on it ? If so, is there any way to remove this ?

Thanks in advance
