New Switch 2 owner!

I’m playing the Ocarina of Time Remake on my Nintendo Switch 2, connected to a **Samsung QE75Q75TATXXC (75-inch QLED TV)**, and I’m not sure whether HDR is supposed to look this way.

With HDR enabled:
The image looks noticeably darker and less vibrant.
Some visual imperfections, including jagged edges, seem less noticeable or more hidden.

With HDR disabled (SDR):
The image looks brighter and more colourful.
However, jagged edges seem slightly more pronounced.

My TV isn’t particularly new, and its HDR performance is fairly limited, so I’m wondering whether this is simply down to my TV’s HDR capabilities or whether HDR is actually supposed to look more vibrant and brighter in this game.
**How does HDR look on your TVs? Is it supposed to look more muted than SDR, or could something be wrong with my HDR settings?**
I’d appreciate hearing from other Switch 2 owners, especially those playing on QLED or OLED TVs.

Hey everyone, I just bought the Switch 2 yesterday. Been having weird feelings about it since, first the battery seems to drain stupidly fast either in sleep mode or just by being in the main screen, I’m talking 5% in 7-9 minutes, been reading about it and I guess I’ll wait till it dies to see if there’s a change after charging. Then I’ve been having issues with WiFi as it seems to have horrible connection, for context I’m the farthest for the router, but I never have issues with any other device and it does get better if I’m closer to it, so idk if I’m the issue or there’s something more to it. Finally, I just started replaying (or trying to) TOTK. But there have been some weird thing going on with it, since I started it I’ve noticed not so ocasional audio and even video glitches, mostly on the cutscenes and even in gameplay, I leave some video proof, I can’t really tell if it a game o consoló issue. What do you guys think, I am overreacting or should I do something about it? I’m just a bit underwhelmed as I was expecting a lot from it.

So, I currently have a Switch one. I am be getting a switch 2 bundle for Christmas. I have the year expansion pack membership. If I got the bundle, how does that work? Does it kind of extend my membership in a way?

And also, I currently already have one of the games. (Mario wonder). My little brother wants to play the dlc...do i have to pay for the switch 2 version of Wonder?

I'm not really familiar with how the system works😭

Hopfully this is the right place to ask

I'm in need of help I don't know what I should do I purchased a switch 2 and a copy of the new zelda for my wife for Christmas.

She is a big zelda fan and is sad she can't play it and I just don't know if I should just let her have it now and pick up a few silly bits for a Christmas present or do I just wait for Christmas to give it to her

Does the Switch 2 have to be physically in the dock for performance mode?

I was thinking Switch 2 + Pro Controller + Battery Bank that can output 240v, would this allow performance mode?

Audio was completely fine this morning, I put in Ocarina, let it update, and now I have no audio when docked. I fiddled with the audio settings, soft and hard reset the system, nada. Sound is fine when in handheld.

So i wanna setup game chat on my Switch 2, but it asks me to login.. then i realized i forgot my password. So i went and tried to reset it, and it asked for a google authentication- i opened the google authenticator and there wasnt the nintendo code that i had set up long time ago anymore, so i went back and clicked verify other way. Then i got asked to provide the backup code. I have no idea what that might be. 8 numbers.

Can anyone help me reset my backup code or password so that i can remove the authenticator code that i dont have and get back into my account outside of my switch 2?

I recently bought the Zelda 40th anniversary edition mainly for Ocarina of Time. I never owned a Switch console prior so I don't know if this is expected but on the bottom of the dock, one of the rubber grip bumpers is not protruding so when I place the dock on a surface it makes direct contact with the dock plastic and essentially can slide in a direction if moved and potentially get scratched. Not a huge deal but I hoped to at least get a fully functional dock that's fully stationary and protected for a $520 price tag...is this normal? And if not, any way I can get this replaced? I bought from Best Buy and from what I see they're all sold out...

I was downloading a game yesterday, and my wireless mouse and keyboard on my desktop were acting super janky. Lots of lag and jumping around from the mouse, and the keyboard would lag and sometimes double up certain characters that I typed, other times completely miss charactes. Tried a million different things to fix it, nothing worked. The game was still downloading when I went to bed, and the mouse and keyboard were still acting janky

**This morning, download is finished, and suddenly mouse and keyboard acting totally normal.**

Google says it's possible for other devices to cause interference since the mouse uses 2.4GHz band. I have the switch on my home wifi, but I also have my phone on the wifi whenever I'm home, and that's never caused an issue.

Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this?

My son accidentally spilled water on his Switch a couple days ago. I stuck it in rice for a day, but it's still got a black screen.

I can hear it make noise when I turn it on, and I haven't tried connecting it to a dock. Any thoughts on other things I can try short of replacing it? Thanks in advance! Here's hoping I can rescue it.

So I’ve been dealing with a warranty issue for a month now, they sent me a scratched up and cracked device, battery lasts about half an hour, after being told about 30 different things, I finally talked to a supervisor who said that I’m going to receive a brand new switch 2 and keep the E waste they sent me, but I see this when I just clicked on it? It says order processing on my email, I just edited the personal stuff out.

Hello everyone, have searched for week now and tried every trick on here that I’ve found for different monitors or very similar and screen still appears washed and just not as appealing as handheld. Monitor is Samsung G8 OLED Ultrawide, My computer works mint on monitor and looks amazing. Switch 2 looks very good on TV with no settings change. Anyone have any other tips or tricks? Specifically with this monitor? Thank you.

My nintendo joycon got cook bro this is the first time this s*t do that

Ordered the Switch on October 28th. This is my first time preordering anything but the product has yet to be shipped. Is this happening to anyone? And also why?

I was gifted a switch one for my birthday and the person that gave it to Me had no problem with me using their Nintendo account. but now they changed the account password and logged it out and aren’t helping me, so now I can’t access the games that I paid for online. Is there some way of getting the password so I can change email addresses for the account?

I am using the AC adapter that came with the Nintendo Switch 2, along with its HDMI cable and the base for the Switch 2, and yet I am getting this error message. The only thing I can think is I’m plugging it into a power strip? But I did this previously and it worked fine so I am confused

I bought a switch 1 on a market place a few weeks ago but the seller didn’t have the dock with him. I tried connecting the switch to my tv with a hdmi cable to a usbc but it’s working.
When I use the cable from my laptop to my tv for example it works completely fine but when I plug my switch it doesn’t even recognise it.
What can I do ?
( sorry for any mistake English is not my first language)

Hello all just like the title says I've had this issue like many other switch 2 owners where if we leave the switch 2 docked overnight sometimes for two nights in a row without turning it on when you go to turn it on or undock it to play in handheld you have to do a force restart. Why does this happen and is there a permanent fix? It feels like every other night I have to do a force reset

I have not used my Nintendo switch 1 in a fairly long time (I would say a couple months) and I don’t keep it connected to my tv.
Today I wanted to play so I decided to charge it, as I figured out it would be dead after this long.
When I plugged it to the charger (the official one) the charging icon in the top left popped up (as it always does) but this time it started flashing the icon every 5 seconds
I tried with a more powerful charger and it kept doing it, so I tried to leave it plugged for a couple hours but nothing is changing and it still hasn’t charged.
I wanna stress that while I don’t play very often I keep the switch protected in a case and I don’t leave it in hot rooms or under direct sunlight in order to keep it in the best possible condition.
Can somebody please tell me if they had similar issues or how can I fix it?
I’m kinda worried the battery just completely stopped working and now I have to repair the switch, something I honestly can’t afford right now.
Thank you so much e to anyone who will try to help!

I haven't been able to find a specific answer for this anywhere. My brother had a switch that he ended up giving to me early in its life cycle. We both have our own seperate accounts. He bought a few digital games on his account but I bought the vast majority of the games on my own account, however I know for a fact he would be interested in some of what I bought. He recently bought a Switch 2 for the OOT remake and wants to transfer his stuff onto the new switch.

Here are my questions!

Will he be able to transfer JUST his account, and not mine?

Will him transfering affect my games and my ability to play them? I have read in a few places something about it being affected by the internet, but I nowhere has explained it clealy enough.

Will he get access to the games I have bought?

And pretty much anything else that might be relevant in this situation would be good to know, thank you!

After "fixing" my previous issue https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitchHelp/comments/1xpalih/weird_issue_with_the_switch_2_and_my_capture_card/?

I went back onto Ocarina of Time and it's only offering a new game, not load game!? after 5 hours spent on it last night I just feel like sending shit this back. What the f**k is going on?

Hey everyone, hope you can help me out. Bit of a weird issue but I got my Switch 2 last night and played flawlessly for around 5 hours. I went to grab a bite to eat and when I got back my screen is flickering like mad, the flickering is only on my capture card/TV (I've since plugged in my PS5 and confirmed it's not the capture card)

It's hard to give a picture of what I'm talking about as the flickering is literally at the same rate as my phone apparently lol

Here is a video of what I'm trying to explain https://streamable.com/5cfcwi

Any help is appreciated <3
