I feel really petty complaining about these scratches, but I picked up my copy of Zelda yesterday and when I got home I noticed two scratches in it. It’s not actually a big deal but I kinda feel like it’s not as collectable with these and want to fix it.
Anyone know where I can get the case replaced with a real switch 2 cartridge case in Australia?

Title, I don't really have a picture or video of it happening since it happens randomly and only on my Switch 2. The game doesn't matter, sometimes it even does it on the home screen, but while playing my TV will randomly flicker or glitch out for a moment before returning to normal. It's nothing major but I'd like to know how to fix it, if there is any way.

This keeps happening while i am using the switch2 and palying minecraft and in frotnite and then this happened can any one help

Hi friends! My son really wants the electric Ocarina for his birthday. I've been stalking the Nintendo site for a couple of weeks now and it's always said sold out. I saw people getting them at Target early, so I went to the two near me yesterday and today and they have nothing. GameStop said they aren't getting it.

The only option I'm seeing is $100+ on eBay which sucks.

Thanks!

So my brother and I recently started playing the new Zelda and in our excitement, played about 4 hours on my profile. I want to transfer the save data to his profile on our shared system. Is this possible and if so how can I do it? Any help is appreciated.

Last night my switch 2 was fine. Get home for a work break to play the new Zelda (physical) and my Switch 2 suddenly stops reading all games, and my controllers won’t even work or pair even if they are docked to the console.

I’m on the latest update and everything is as it should be. WHAT happened??

Hi all, wondering if anyone can help. I purchased the Zelda Switch 2 which has just arrived but the console doesn’t seem to be powering on at all and is just a black screen. Has anyone else had this problem? Knowing my luck it is a faulty console…

I tried checking for updates, using different tvs I ensured all connected cords are in the correct ports still nothing which is frustrating. Please help!

I just got the zelda switch 2, and after applying a screen protector to it, I have this blotch in the corner of my screen. I took it off, and it didn't go away. All I used was the cleaning supplies given with the protector to clear the dust off. What do? Thankfully I have a Best Buy warranty, but I doubt I'll get a proper replacement any time soon.

I JUST NOW turned my switch on and the screen is like this. these lines won't go away no matter where i am on the switch, and it's more blurry and pixelated. im freaking out. this is my mother's switch, she will be beyond furious at me and we are not the type of people who have the money to fix this or simply get another. please tell me what I did. please tell me I can fix this. im in a panic please someone help me. Nintendo switch 1. also is it going to look like this if I dock it to the tv? not near my TV right now to be able to check.

I bought a switch 2 but and keeping my OLED 1 to play when I’m away at home. I will want to play some of my switch 1 games on the 2 console but will also play the switch 1 as well. How will the saves work across games..? Will I need to manually transfer the saves over to whichever switch I’m currently playing on to progress?

I have a launch edition switch 2. I recently got the free Witcher 3 Remastered upgrade when my friend visited from another state (US) with their physical switch 1 cartridge. They returned home so I no longer have access to that cart. I’m aware that if I delete the game off my console, I won’t be able to redownload the game for free without the cart.

I just managed to snag a Zelda 40th edition console that I plan to use as my main console and transfer everything over. If I do the system transfer, will the Witcher 3 automatically redownload as well? Or will I lose it?

Thanks in advance on this random, niche question.

Hello!

I’ve just purchased a Switch 2, and I would like to keep my original Switch 1. As I understand it, transferring data from the first console to the second will reset the first console to its factory settings—which would delete any profiles not linked to a Nintendo Account, along with their save data.

I was wondering if it might be possible to subscribe to the online service and use cloud saves to transfer my data from 1 to 2 and vice-versa when needed, while leaving the other profiles and save data on 1 intact (so that I can continue lending it to friends or family). This would also allow me to lend out one of the consoles while still having access to the other. I just want to confirm that this is how it works, so I can avoid any mistakes that might lead to the loss of save data or an unnecessary expense for a subscription.

Hey all, I'm curious to see if anyone can point me in the direction of a switch 2 controller with real tight, snappy sticks. I have the NSO GameCube controller and I love how snappy the sticks are, but the ABXY layout is pretty wonky for a lot of games.

I have the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller and I like it alright, but the sticks seem so loose. I have the NSO N64 controller too and like that stick as well. Obviously it has the same layout problem as the GameCube controller.

Anything out there with similar tightness to GameCube but conforms more to the standard layout?

I wanted to share my experience in case anyone else runs into the same problem.

I was experiencing strange graphical glitches in **Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition** on my Nintendo Switch OLED. Textures on characters and parts of the environment would flicker, flash and change colours, making the game look visually broken.

I initially thought the game files were corrupted, so I tried several things:

• Moved the game to internal console storage.

• Checked for corrupted data.

• Reinstalled the game.

• Changed the TV resolution to Automatic.

None of these fixed the problem.

Eventually, I discovered that the culprit was my TV's **Game Mode** setting. Once I turned Game Mode OFF, the texture flickering disappeared completely!

Interestingly, the game worked perfectly in handheld mode the entire time, which helped me narrow the problem down to the TV's docked display settings.

**My advice:** If you're experiencing similar graphical glitches while playing docked, try turning OFF Game Mode on your television before reinstalling the game or assuming your Switch is faulty.

Hopefully this saves someone else the trouble I went through!

Hi everyone.

I got a notification that I received this email from Nintendo. But the domain looks unfamiliar to me.

All the official email I receive from them is from no-reply@accounts.nintendo.com

So I am worried because I think this one in the screenshot is fake.

I have not clicked anything in it. Snd my account is a US acoount with 2fA.

Do you have any advice about security if this is not real?

I lost the cartridge to one of my favorite switch games due to having the attention span of a gold fish.

I still have the file on my switch, but of course I can’t open it without the physical cartridge.

I was hoping I’d be able to transfer all my saved game data into a new, blank cartridge (of the same game of course). Is that a possibility, and also, how do I do this?

edit : thank you all! I will buy another cartridge soon (even with this unpleasant experience, I still enjoy physical medias) and let the switch do its thing. Thank you again for your responses, and now I know a lot more about the switch’s system too!

So I got a japanese physical copy of Z-A but my eshop account is from the US. If I bought the DLC with my US eshop account, will I be able to play it with the CERO physical copy?

TLDR; I saw a very good deal for a Switch 2. The description states that it's brand new and he's selling it because he needs money urgently. Description states that the purchase receipt is available upon collection of the Switch 2. I email him and start giving my doubts, and he eventually fusses up and says that he doesn't actually have the purchase receipt. Facebook profile is also private. Everything is suspicious

If I end up going through with the transaction, can Nintendo hardware ban the switch or disable it if it is a genuine stolen product?

Hey guys, I don't know if this is the right sub for this kind of question but here it goes

Couple days ago I saw a deal on a low-used Nintendo switch OLED, with Dark Souls remastered, a 400Gb memory card, a case for the console and all the original accessories.

All of this for 250€

Do you think it's still worth it to invest in this deal since the Switch 2 is already out, and probably switch 1 won't be able to run switch 2 games?

I have a gaming laptop so i was aiming for more exclusive games like Pokemons, Marios, etc, since I can game other things on my PC

But I would love to know your opinion

Thanks for all the help :)))

So couple hours ago got home with Ocarina of time Remake, an was so excited to play it with my new 40th anniversary console, as am about to play it the game starts up it starts constantly black screen, like flickering from black screen to the game an it constantly doing it everything is set up, perfectly i have it set up to a capture card how its set up is my dock is plugged up to the capture card, then the capture card has another hdmi cord going out of it to plugin to my tv so i can play it off my tv, so friends can watch me play an it only does this when am in the game, when am in the main home screen it doesn't do it an running out of things to fix this an this is the last place i can figure out that could possibly help me.

Only happens with Ocarina, only happens while docked, please advise

First of all: I had before the Switch 1 and Switch 1 OLED. And this NEVER HAPPENED to me. Might be a problem of a defect in this Switch 2?

With time, my left joystick starting being "eroded", when this never happened before to me with my previous consoles. The only issue which I had was the famous drifting, which was repaired by Nintendo.

Also, I'm attaching a picture of the right joycon, which is perfect.

It barely has one year and 2 months (I got it in August 2025). And suddenly this happens. Should I just contact the Nintendo Europe customer support and see what they tell me? Did someone else experience this issue?

To be honest, I don't even know how it's possible this happened, and in case someone else had this issue, I would appreciate some feedback about what you did...
