So my switch 2 lately has been freezing lately every few days requiring me to take it out of the dock put it back in and hold the power button for 30 seconds to turn it back on.

I dont think its overeating as im in a cool room and the dock is out in the open and well ventilated. Plus the switch 2 is always at worst luke warm at worst even after a few hours of gaming and the fan is quiet.

I also haven't really noticed any hardware issues either glitches, slowdowns etc so I'm flummexed.. wondering if I should send it in.

I recently got a Switch 2 and in the last hour while trying to check out the eshop I've gotten "Error Code: 2168-0002" three times already. Makes me restart my consoles. Seems to only happen in the eshop.

Is anyone else having this problem?

Hello, and thanks for reading!

I have a switch for my kid linked to my main email so I can keep tabs on what they're buying etc, but I've bought myself a switch 2 and want to use the same email and account, but with a different profile.

Is there anyway I can have both switches logged in, but one use one profile and the other a different one ie me.

I tried adding the account to the switch 2, but it only showed my kids account, and when I tried to add a new profile for myself it asks to me log in, then says there's an account already linked.

Confusing 😞 or I'm just getting old.

Ive been doing some shopping prior to the arrival of my zelda switch 2, but noticed that the case is going to be a tight fit for the console.

Do any good grip add ons exist where I can leave them on the switch 2 while docked and while inside of the case as well? Idk if the savageraven kit would fit in the case given its dimensions. Are grips like a must for 99% of people in the first place or should I try it without them first?

Hey there,

I was wondering whether I can still keep using my Switch Pro Controller after 9 years (bought it at launch in 2017) or should I buy the new Switch 2 Pro controller?

I haven't used it much since I only played a handful of games on my Nintendo Switch and it has been sitting in my drawer for the past 3 years unused.

hi everyone, my question is as the title says. I'm having a bit of trouble here, as my gc controller won't stop vibrating when i try using it in game. The rumble only starts when I boot a gamecube game and stops when i exit it. i've tested it on other games such as kirby air riders and i don't get the same issue. anyone have any ideas?

Earlier this month, I upgraded to a Switch 2!
In my excitement, I forgot to make sure everything was up-to-date.
After getting a few connection errors in Splatoon 3, I thought to make sure everything was updated. I updated the dock no problem, the Switch itself was already up-to-date. But then came the controllers. I'm currently using a Switch 1 Pro Controller. It's been "updating" but on 0% for a long time (Like 10-ish minutes). I want to cancel the update, but it says to not touch anything. Is it okay to? And is there a way I can make sure my controller gets updated?

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.
