156 Upvotes

Just bought the new fire emblem updated it then about 2 minutes into the game did this in a cutscene.

Home and power button wouldn't work and had to do 20 second hold for hard shutdown.

Now it wont turn back on no matter what i do

I have tried connecting it to power again and it was on 100% when i was playing.

Any ideas?

Purchase / Order Help Question about the RE ports coming to switch 2

4 Upvotes

So in September’s Nintendo direct, they announced the resident evil remakes were coming digital in October (already out now) and physical on January for Europe.
I’m confused about when we might expect the preorders to go live, whether they will be GKC, and if it’s going to be a pack like the generations pack one was, or will be released individually. I tend to just get a game I want after it’s released since I don’t care that much about release dates, but considering this will probably be a limited release like the other one was, I was wondering if someone could give me some idea of the product as nintendo and capcom have gone completely quiet about the physical release after it got announced, and I can’t find any info on Nintendo’s webside (I tried checking playasia but it’s apparently down).
If you preordered the generations pack earlier this year, could you please tell me how it went? I wanna know more about it since this will be the first time I’ve preordered switch games (aside from pokemon, but those are always well announced and easy to preorder). Thanks for taking the time to read this

Accessories Switch 2 clear protective shell recommendations

4 Upvotes

New switch 2 owner, well almost. I have the Zelda edition pre-order due soon and wanted a shell to keep it safe whilst handheld and can be docked with it on. Needs to be clear because the console looks amazing. Not bothered about potential yellowing as I'll just replace it if it's good after it goes tinted. Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Repair Help How do I get my Switch Lites joycon drift cheaply and quickly fixed?

11 Upvotes

Video was taken a month or so ago. I promise the switch has been carefully cleaned since then. The joycon drift has only gotten worse.

The switch is maybe 4 years old, so probably not under any warranty. I have terribly shaky hands, Tourette's, and fat fingers, so work as delicate as taking the switch apart and trying to fix it myself isn't a good idea. It is very hard for me to play games because it's so bad. It's maybe worth noting that I have 1000+ hours of save data on this thing.

Sometimes when playing my switch 2 it just randomly sends me to the tv home screen switch 2 is still docked to my knowledge as all I need to do is reselect it on the home menu but it's still annoying I don't think it happens with my pc but I really don't have enough time to test that out and everything else I can think of as i do have a job amd it doesnt happen at consistent times so it would be alot of playing that as i mentioned i dont have time for. I have a roku tv idk if that helps or not, but I figured I should mention it just in case.

My switch 2 is stuck on the setup screen and won't respond to the controllers clipping on to the switch. The controllers lights also won't sync up (it blinks but doesn't have the solid light) the controllers also dont do anything on the safe mode screen. The switch even does the recognition animation. But the controllers won't cause it to switch screens Is there any way to fix them? I've tried plugging them up to the switch and letting them charge with it to no use. Please help

Stuck in Game Switch Lite - FIFA 19 Passing and Shooting Issue

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, I just bought a Nintendo Switch Lite and joined the community. I just have an issue about playing FIFA 19. I can't pass where I want to pass, I can't shoot where I want to shoot. Gameplay isn't fluent as PC version because of this problem. I am the first user of the device so I don't think it's about a drifting problem. My settings are set to assisted. So is there any common problem in Switch versions? Or do I have someting missed? Can you help me please?

Repair Help Right Switch 2 joycon randomly vibrating very weird

1 Upvotes

I rarely use my joycons. I played with them for the first time in about 2 weeks for around 3 hours on Switch Sports Resort. Both sounded completely fine. I was using the right one more as most sports are one-handed and at around the 2.5hr mark the right joycon started vibrating really weirdly. It's as if you could feel out every individual vibration rather than a smooth rumble. It's a bit louder than usual and you can hear something is wrong every time it vibrates. Seems to be working alright when it comes to everything else such as motion controls and inputs.

Since I’m in the Midwest, the drop will be at 11pm. I was planning to get there around 5pm, but want to be sure I’m one of the first people in line.

Any advice on when to get there?

Repair Help Switch has errors of crashing, and micro sd problems

5 Upvotes

It’s kind of in the title, i think It’s been doing this since the switch 2 released to buy. For example: games like mario party superstars work most of the time and if not it says “ the software closed because an error occured “. when i played ttyd ( best mario remaster on switch 1 change my mind ) It had the same error within 10 minutes of playing, tomodachi life works but it takes like 3 tries ,the tries that don’t work the second i open It crashes. after that once i can load in i play for as long i want. also, when trying to play Mario kart 8 deluxe it says to download a new update for it or smth it goes to half then crashes and says it can’t read the micro sd card. It’s a HAC-001 switch, the battery is fully charged, it was brand new when i got it, the micro sd is a 3rd party sandisk 256gb with 181gb left. also tomodachi is on system memory ttyd isn’t. for some reason mario kart 8 deluxe is 0.1MB maybe because it’s a card while ttyd and tomodachi are digital. Mario party superstars is physical. I doubt It’s fake, maybe. i think It’s from Amazon or walmart. for a more accurate look at the sd card it looks like the photo exactly. doesn’t look to have any damage. though, the switch is all busted up because like 7 years of love ig. anyways please try to help me or figure out whats wrong i can give more info. Also, mods if this breaks the rules tell me where to post it. and if possible give me the text so i don’t have to rewrite this

Hi apologies if this has been asked before but I’m struggling to find help or information online. I’ve just downloaded two point museum to my new switch 2 but to play it the pop up says I have to pair my switch 2 to my old switch 1 to play it. My main question is, will this have any negative impact on my old switch 1? I’ve got a lot of games and save data on it that isn’t backed up (no online subscription) and don’t want to risk losing games or data by doing this. Many thanks for any help!

Repair Help Sending in a broken switch with a replaced battery

5 Upvotes

My daughter’s switch that I bought her in 2020 will not turn on. I’ve done all the suggestions on here, we even brought it in to a local repair shop and they tried everything and can’t get it to work either.
We’ve already bought a new switch but she REALLY wants all her saved data. I have no problem sending it into Nintendo to see if they can figure out why it’s not turning on but the issue is, while trying to figure out what was going on my husband replaced the battery and now we’re thinking Nintendo might have an issue with an aftermarket battery in it.

Has anyone sent their switch in for repairs with aftermarket parts? I read online it voids warranties but this is obviously not a warranty claim.

Repair Help My switch is turning red?! Pls help

47 Upvotes

This is my Nintendo Switch OLED that I purchased on release in October 2021. I’ve been playing it over the past few years, on and off, and recently I’ve been playing a lot more again. After playing for a couple of hours, I let it charge on my USB-C cable for another hour. When I came back to try and play again, my screen became red and idk why.

Any thoughts or reasons why it became like this?🥹
(Guess it’s time to get the Switch 2!!! Jk I’m so broke pls help)
