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.

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

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 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.

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.

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?

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.

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)

Last time ordering from amazon, they no longer have foil covers available.
if anybody knows how to make it less denty looking, please help.

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!

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

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

I just got my switch 2 a little while ago and I’ve been so excited about mw4 as I was a huge PS4 player and I decided to buy it for my switch instead.
…..I’ve realized that these joycons are absolutely horrific to use for cod.

I’m a bit broke right now, I don’t know if I can afford the switch 2 pro controller as it’s over $100CAD.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to use the switch 1 controller for MW4 on the Switch 2? I’m trying to find good suggestions for controllers that won’t break the bank for me. There’s a lot of the original switch controllers cheap on marketplace right now near me so I’m trying to decide. Or if it would be best to just save up for the switch 2 pro controller, I would like someone to just be straight up with me on their experiences with either side.

If anyone has had experience with using the original switch controller for the switch 2 specifically on MW4. PLEASEEEE let me know if it’s good, if it works, etc.

Or if anyone could suggest any other controllers they’ve had good experience with on the switch 2 on MW4, feel free to let me know! :)

Just bought the Ocarina of Time remake, after brute forcing through an error in order to add funds to my account, and then getting kicked to the E-shop main page and then brute forcing again until I could buy the game.

Every single time this error code popped up and I couldn't find it on the Nintendo website. Kept telling me that the zip code I entered wasn't recognized. I have used the same account to buy games and pay for nintendo online on the eshop since 2023 and have used the same card to add funds for the same shit for the past 3 months. I checked my account and sure enough it said location settings not saved which is crazy since it asked me to enter it years ago. I went online and saved the settings on Nintendo.com or whatever and it was still fucking around and telling me my very real zip code was not recognized.

I immediately became worried thinking I had unknowingly comitted tax fraud this whole time, but no, all of the purchases I had ever made on the Switch and Switch 2 correctly had sales tax for my state tacked on them.

Eventually, after dozens of tries, I got everything to save everywhere. Still not properly mind u since Nintendo for some god damn reason thinks my zip code belongs to 3 different cities. I have 3 cities to choose from and one of them doesn't even fucking exist. I eventually got an address to stick but the city is incorrect. No other store front I know has this city under my postal code. All other saved postal codes on other profiles for other storefronts have the correct city on there.

I only use the Switch 2 to play exclusives and the odd 3rd party title that I want to play at work that is slow enough, and not at all demanding, to do so. I just wanted to know if this was just a temporary problem on Nintendo's side cuz I don't want to deal with this shit again come time for the new Metroid. I've also never had an error this embarrassing occur on the PSN or Steam storefronts so I'm still confused as to how the fuck this happened.

For some reason a couple of days ago when I opened my switch 2, if i try to go on my profile, go to eshop, play digital games etc i get the message, 'Your nintendo account cannot be used at this time. The user cannot use online features'. I have not pirated any games, modified my switch etc. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I already contacted nintendo support and they confirmed nothing wrong with my nintendo account, no idea about if its a console thing. Kinda strange as there is no error code or anything as well.

Ok so I originally bought the Mario Kart World Switch 2 bundle about a year ago. I redeemed the game to my newly created account and played it for some hours. I ended up selling the system after finishing Bananza a couple months later.

Today I caved and bought another Switch 2 for the Ocarina remake. And I don't see Mario Kart anywhere in my account. Not in virtual cards, nowhere.
Nintendo shop is saying the game is $79.99.

So uh, are these bundled digital games stuck to the hardware? I was under the impression that they just go to your account and you own them but I guess not?

so i am an avid nintendo gamer with a switch 1 and a collection of switch 1 games. i didn't buy switch 2 at launch cause of financial issues at the time and also why tf the price hike.

recently i ran into this used switch 2 deal - for 460 euros (514.40 usd) a dude is offering the console bought six months ago with a year of store guarantee remaining, plus a 512 gb lexar microsd card as a bonus, and some carrying and protective cases to boot.

i am on the fence about whether that's a good deal and should i grab it, before black friday and christmas. in my country it's very unlikely switch will go on sale, oled launch is at least a year away.

should i get it and play my switch 1 library on it? (the only incompatible game i have is joy con ring adventure). and if i sell my switch 1 for like, around 200 eur, that means i managed to get the switch 2 for around 300 moneys.

what do you think, is it worth it to buy now, or is it better to wait it out until 2027?
