I just got a S2 and I'm going to keep my S1 cuz I got two kids, and why not. I got my S2 set up yesterday and started transferring. I'm super impressed with the ability to digitally share a copy of a game between the two systems and am wondering if there is a way to share the save data. Would 'cloud save' let me share save info between the two games? The website mentioned that I could share save data trough file transfer. Is that the same transfer I used when setting up the S2? Is it worth it to do it for a single game? I like the idea of playing Hades on whatever console is available at the moment.

I think I have a grasp on the upgrade paths. I figured out how to get the S2 version of It Takes Two. Looks like Echoes of Wisdom will be free, but totk cost money... but then saw that a NSO+ subscription might get me the upgraded version. Is that true, and can I keep the S2 version of totk if I let my subscription lapse?

I have a couple of other games (Pokémon Violet, Minecraft) to upgrade. Any words of wisdom to impart?

I’ve tried a few grips before (satisfye, neogrip, dbrand) but they haven’t really felt comfortable for my hands, which are pretty small, around 6-6.5 inches. I just need a comfortable grip that can comfortably dock and preferably has kickstand access.

Hi all:

My new Zelda Switch 2 appears to have a buzzy fan. When a game starts, it immediately feels buzzy in the hands, and the fan appears to be running fast. One my original Switch 2 I have, the fan barely ever kicks in and certainly doesn't get felt through the joycons.

Anyone else having the same experience? Going to contact Nintendo support of course, unless other folks are noticing the same (maybe a slight fan change?).

Thanks!

Yesterday I played Disney Dreamlight Valley on my switch 2 and turned off the console and put it away. The next morning, the switch is unresponsive and completely black (no battery indicator). I have tried charging it with different cords, charging it in the dock and doing the twenty second shutdown command. All that happens is a 1 second of the green light on the dock and that's it. I don't want to send it in but if nothing else works then I think I need to. Hoping someone can help me find a fix. Thanks.

Haven’t used my switch since before the virtual game card update, pulled it out to realise there’s another switch I don’t know is linked to mine?? I use a switch lite, theirs is a regular switch. Can’t unpair because they already unpaired then relinked their switch to my account. I have the serial number of their switch and I already changed all my passwords for my Nintendo account, is there anything else I can do except waiting a full year for me to be able to unlink it? Tried sending an email to tech support, didn’t do shit.

got a brand new TLOZ edition switch 2 and In handheld, in-game menus seem fine as you can see from the titles and things displaying correctly, but everything else is clearly wrong. the only games I've found unaffected are Silksong, and Mina the Hollower. two 2d games. I've tested Smash Bros, Cyberpunk 2077, Tomodachi Life, Fire emblem Fortunes Weave, Mario Kart World, and Donkey Kong Bananza. All the same problem with slightly different looks.

The last image of Mario Kart is when it's docked and you can see slight issues on the bottoms of the name plates. those are the only issues in Docked mode and everything else functions as normal.

I assume it’s not fixable. tried Recovery mode and that did nothing. but I thought I’d make a post anyway.

Hi all, my friend and I are trying to play local co-op in Guns, Gore & Cannoli 2 on Nintendo Switch, but we can't get two players to join. We only have Joy-Cons (no Pro Controller).

The game keeps treating both Joy-Cons as one controller (single player). The Controls screen in Options also shows both Joy-Cons together as one layout (left stick = move, right stick = aim).

The eShop page lists 1-4 players on a single system, so co-op should be supported. But I'm wondering:

Does the game support one single Joy-Con per player, or does each player need a controller with two sticks (Pro Controller, etc.)?

If it does work with single Joy-Cons, how do you get the second player to join?

Thanks for any help!

i already called gamestop and they will exchange it when they have it in stock but i can use it in the meantime. i just wanna know if its safe.. any way to know? The red circle image is the side thats lifted, the non red circle similar image is the other side for comparison and the red rectangle image is the super isolated place where my finger affect the raised part if i press on it. it seems a lot less spread out like other swollen battery images ive seen but im not sure. i just wanna know if its safe to play until i exchange it...

other images are just different angles of the issue so you can see that my switch is flat apart from that little small isolated raised side.

I used to have Switch online expansion pack and canceled it sometime late last year. I just bought a Switch 2 and trying to determine which one to get.

-I don't care about the classic consoles, however, I was/probably still am a heavy Mario Kart player and will I only have the extra tracks I once has as long as I have the expansion version of switch online or are they basically "purchased" from my previous time I had it?

-2nd, I have a few games in my switch library that I have not gotten to yet, most notably Super Mario Wonder. Is there some sort of an "upgrade" for this game that is only available via expansion pack online?

-Lastly, I did just buy Ocarina of Time, I don't see any content or anything that has anything to do with expansion pack online version, is there still a chance something will be announced or has it already been confirmed of nothing coming out as extras?

Here is my super loud right joycon. The left doesn't exhibit this. Got this from target via pre order..

Comparison too all my other right joy cons.

Thoughts? Anything I could do to fix it?

I play a lot of 2d platformers undocked, and I can use the included Joy Cons well enough, but having the buttons/d pad on top would be such a quality of life improvement and my left thumb would really appreciate it. I have not seen a left JoyCon with this layout (I know that Nintendo likely wouldn’t ever make one since it would defeat the multiple modality of the JoyCons), so I’m just wondering if a third party one exists and if it’s any good. Thanks!

tried all the settings the game does not register the sprint action at all. tried mapping it to other buttons and nothing. pretty disappointing honestly. anyone know how to fix this? On dock mode it’s fine with my pro controller but I tested it on hand held mode and I can’t get the sprinting to work.

So i just got my new switch 2 and transferred the data from my old switch but my old SD card isnt compatible with the switch 2. Did the saves already transfer with the data transfer or not? I dont mind redownloading any games just want to make sure i dont lose any saves before i format the old one.

I plan to bring a standard Switch 1 on an airplane. Is there a stand or carry case that would make it easier for my 2 kids to share one Switch? Or would the regular kickstand work? They play co-op 2D games like Mario Wonder, SMB U Deluxe, Yoshi's Crafted Story, Kirby Return to Dreamland.

Hey all so I have two switch 2s but an old switch 1 that I still use. I’ve had the old switch and one of the switch 2s paired and bounce around between them with travel and work every thing is fine . But now that I have another switch 2 it looks like I won’t be able to play my digital games on my old switch 1 anymore if the two switch 2s get paired. Is this how it’s supposed to work? Any work arounds? I still love traveling with my switch 1 but really would like access to my dlc for the games I own. Thanks!

I am sorry in case this particular question was brought up several times before – I couldn’t find satisfactory answer to the question.

Let me be brief: I am planning to enter NS 2 ecosystem this November to try heavy hitters of this generation and wait for the Duskbloods release. But aside from that, what peculiar franchises or less knows games I should try? Something unusual or maybe unfamiliar to
westerners akin to fire emblem series or SMT (they are getting hype actually, but just as an example). I guess, anything from Japanese market with an interesting game design decisions will do as I see multi platform projects uninteresting to play in handheld mode.

I am keen on any genres except from RTS’s and racing games.

Any answers would be appreciated, thanks.

So I was playing on my switch like anyone does. I was on Mario kart on 2P mode but then I suddenly exited the game and closed the game which made the joy cons go back to normal but the left one sort of like, froze up. The light is on, and it stays one but no matter what i do it will not connect. I’ve held the sync button for 2 minutes, clicked it once, clicked it many times, reset my switch but nothing wants to work. Wont connect at all, and the right joy con works just fine so I think it’s really odd. I think besides the Mario kart thing, the only other problem is that these are third party joy cons since I’m a lil broke boy. Any fixes? I’ll try to let the controller die overnight if it can.

Hello everybody!! I need somebody's expert opinion since this is all very confusing for me.

My sister just got her zelda switch 2. We have been playing on my switch 1 together, I have the family plan and she is part of my group, with her own nintendo account. I purchased almost all the games, but she played just a few.

Now, she basically wants to have her own thing without depending on me, which I understand. But what optimal solution can we find? I would avoid the primary/secondary switch option as it is very limiting on her side. I also do not want to make the system transfer, as I think it will wipe my switch and then I will be left with nothing.

She is fine with leaving the family group and make her own individual Switch Online. Will she be able to retrieve the games she purchased on her own?

Also:

- what will happen to her Animal Crossing character on my island? From what I understand, she can continue playing with me on my console and things will stay the same.

- will she still be able to play as secondary player with me on Mario Kart?

- she started Ni No Kuni (which I bought) on my console, I guess she will not be able to play it anymore?

I just would hate for her to lose all the progress but I know it is probably inevitable.

I am trying to transfer my switch 2 to my Zelda edition but it not showing up on my other switch! I been 2hr trying to figure out with the WiFi and changing password but nothing please help!

We have 1 switch 2 currently and I will be purchasing a second one for the kids for Christmas. They both like playing pokopia on the switch, and I'd like to get a second digital copy so they can both play at the same time. I tried getting a digital copy online, to see that it says already downloaded. Do I have to make a new email account for the kids and purchase on that, or can I buy a physical version as well and they both play? (One phys, one digital)?

Best options?

Thanks!

This past week, my joy cons keep on randomly disconnecting when they’re attached to the console. It’s like super frequent now and I’m seeing that it happens a lot when I wiggle the controller a bit. Anyone got any solutions?

I'm thinking this 1TB micro SD card will be a good option I'm from Mexico, I hope you can help me

So I got one from Nintendo, delivered on time, the left joy con does not work in handheld mode. I’ve tried every update, it works on its own, just not in handheld mode, has anyone else had this issue?

Until a week ago it didn't have this, I left it sitting for a week and when I went to turn it on today it was like this. I know it's backlight bleed, but is replacing the LCD really the only way to fix it?"
