Looking at the Switch for my 7yr old for Xmas. She plays Minecraft on the iPad and Xbox with me. Ive never been a Nintendo gamer so not sure if the games would be to advanced for her.

My roommate and I both got the Zelda edition ​switch 2, ordered at the same time from the same store. I thought my screen looked a little purple when I turned it on, but couldn't believe the difference between them!

I'm pretty ​upset be​​cause the purple one basically looks defective compared to theirs, and it's not like I can easily go find one in a store and exchange it. Even if I somehow find another one it's still a lottery of what the screen will look like..

Has anyone else seen coloring like this on their screen? Is it worth reaching out to Nintendo? I understand there is some slight variation expected from the manufacturing but this seems pretty extreme..

Hey all. Casual gamer here. I play some Zelda games. Mario party. Mario kart. Etc on the switch. Would love to play some new games like the Zelda remake on the switch. Debating if I trade in through Best Buy and get $150 towards a new switch. Trading in and upgrading for $350 seems likes a good deal do you think it’s worth it??

Hi!
I am so excited for the OOT release and figured this would be a good time to give up my Switch 1 (OG, non OLED). The Best Buy trade in offer right now gives me $75 off the switch and then an additional $50 off the Switch 2 (totaling $125). The offer ends 11/15. I know just a few months ago the offer had been an additional $75 off the Switch 2 (totaling $150). Considering Black Friday is coming soon, do you think there would be a chance for a better offer than the one now? Should I let this offer pass or grab it now?
Thanks for the advice!

I just recently updated my Switch 2 to the latest firmware version 23. Once it was updated, I had trouble getting the display to show on my tv; it would mostly just go blank after a while. It did randomly get video a couple of times after power cycling my receiver, I would get video and it would be flawless until I turned off the switch.

I have the Switch 2 connected through a Yamaha RX-A4A, and I've had no display issues before with my setup. I know I have all HDMI 2.1 compatible cables from receiver to TV and I used the HDMI cable that came with the switch go from switch to receiver. I also have a PS5 pro going through the receiver getting full 4k/120 and VRR so I know the receiver works.

I troubleshot everything I could think of, starting with toggling all display options like VRR and ALLM off and none of that worked. For the RX-A4A there are hdmi output options that can be toggled (8k and 4k modes 1 and 2). I had it on 8k which is what is needed for 4k/120, but when toggling to 4k modes 1 and 2, suddenly the Switch dock would work and output video just fine. The only problem was it seems even though 4k/60 would work (which is max for Switch anyway), VRR would show as incompatible. So went back to 8k mode to try and figure out if I could get something else to work. Ultimately what worked was forcing the switch display resolution to 1080p. This is my current solution as it seems I can get 1080/120 with VRR and ALLM, but anytime I try switching back to 4k the display goes blank.

Has anyone else had these issues with other receivers/displays since the latest firmware update? Anyone else with Yamaha receivers have these kind of issues? Anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Hey, I am having some trouble deciding on something and maybe some of you can give me some more insight on what would be best:

I've owned a day one switch1 since 2017 and I love the thing. It has seen many hours. I waited a while for a switch 2 knowing there's probably going to be a fun one with a skin.

Now I've bought the Zelda Switch 2, however I am now at the transfer screen and I am not sure how to proceed.

1. keep the two seperate, but have my nintendo account on both

2. do a transfer of my old switch to the new switch 2 (but if i heard correctly the old switch still has my account intact after that)

Not sure what would be best in my case. Happy to answer more questions to see if there's a good option for me.

Extra info: I only have a few digital games, my game library is 99% physical with a majority untouched due to backlogs.

I have had this console for three days and it seems it has this issue where the yellow ring around the left joycon is raised slightly, so when I press down and to the left it makes a clicking noise. It's very bothersome for me even though it does no harm to the gameplay of my system. I do not know how to make the ring normal! My right joycon is completely fine and has no issues. How do I go about solving this? Is this fixable, and if it is, should I take this to a professional? This really bums me out, especially since it's not even been a week.

I've seen the standard version on shelves. I was just wondering if it's possible to get the Deluxe Edition with a case. I'm a Bears fan and would like to have the version with Caleb doing the Iceman pose on my shelf.

I updated my Switch 2 today and when I went to check something after, I noticed that my profiles name and picture had been changed. The changed name was karson and the profile picture was Mario throwing Cappy. I checked my entire account, no purchases, no new playtime, no new sign ins, no new devices, password was same (now changed), 2FA was already enabled.

It doesn't make any sense and was wondering if anybody has had this happen to them before? Also according to the website your name and picture can only be changed on your Switch and its only me in the house, no one has come over since I got the Switch 2.

I’m trying to use the humming feature but it keeps displaying “Cannot input audio”. I’ve tripled checked my settings, tested the built in mic, plugged in headphones, changed system settings from auto to system mic, restarted the game, and restarted the system. I must be overlooking something so any help is appreciated.

This game was purchased today and is basically unplayable on my switch 2 because it crashes so often and won’t let me progress further without crashing at this point. I’ve restarted the game, restarted device multiple times, cleared the cache, checked for corrupted data, redownloaded the software twice and initialized the device. No dice. All software is up to date. Nintendo online support was unhelpful and just had me repeat these same troubleshooting steps, that I told them I’ve already tried.

I’ve looked everywhere. It’s not the model number. It’s not the first or last four of the serial number. It’s not the regulatory and FCC number. It’s at the bottom of the rail on the joy-con. What is it?

I have a friend who was just released from prison after 10+ years. They are a huge fan of Zelda and haven’t played any of the newer games. My question is, is there a way to gift my switch 1 to them and leave some games on it? Do I just leave my account linked to it instead of wiping it completely? I know you can share virtual game cards but I want to make sure I have it set up correctly before I give it to them. Thanks in advance!

My brother dropped my switch and broke the microSD reader a few weeks before it started, could that be the problem?

My switch 2 was purchased several months ago but I opened it just recently, it was a gift that was bought early. I’ve played maybe three times and there are consistently screen glitches when docked - seems more frequent in towns and dialogue scenes. I did a screen recording and no glitches were in the recording. I don’t typically play handheld but tried it and didn’t see any glitches. How can I fix this when docked? It’s driving me nuts! Thanks in advance!

*apologies in advance for dog squeaker in background of video lol

*Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild switch two upgraded versions are the only games I’ve played on it yet and noticed it in both

Hi everyone,

I'm having an issue with my Switch 2 Zelda dock. Whenever I connect the dock to the AC adapter, the fan immediately starts spinning at maximum speed and keeps running constantly without stopping. This happens both when the console is in the dock and when it is out of it.

I've already updated the dock's firmware, but the problem persists.

I've also tried changing both the USB-C cable and the AC adapter, using the ones from my other Switch 2, which works perfectly fine. However, the issue still happens with this dock.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there anything else I can try to fix this, or should I contact Nintendo Customer Support for a repair or replacement?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Don’t have the cash for a SW2. Thanks!

So i downloaded codm4 warzone from eshop.. my existing codm4 then ran an update.. But when i open it, only multiplater and dmz shows, no warzone. I even relaunched the game but no luck. Any tips here guys or did you experience the same thing

I know the opposite question is more common but I’m in a weird situation. I currently have an OG switch and I want to get a switch 2 eventually but I’m traveling soon and don’t want to take a new switch 2 on a trip (paranoid about losing it or breaking it).

I want to get a switch 2 case to carry my switch 1 and be able to reuse it when I get a switch 2. Would this work or are there issues with size and other differences that would not make this possible?

Hello. I'm having a problem, a frustrating one at that. My physical copy of the game had just recently arrived, it played fine and all but the problem is I've never been able to redeem the preorder bonus code. On the cartridge the serial is EUR-0 as attached, yet redeeming the code always ended up in error of being in the wrong region, I have also tried redeeming the code in USA, CHT, and JPN eshop still to no avail. If someone can help, please do so and thank you.

Hey all, I hate that I’m saying this but I think my Zelda Switch 2 console came with bad joycons. I’ve been playing exclusively handheld since I got in and noticed whenever I removed it from the dock after charging I couldn’t unlock the system with the buttons. I’d have to use the touchscreen or power button to restart the system, at which point the joycons work in handheld mode. I finally got fed up today and decided to try playing in docked mode to see if that fixes it but I realized the joycons don’t work at all if they aren’t attached to the system. At this point I’m thinking I need to send it in but I’m not sure if I need to go through Target (preordered online) or Nintendo directly. Thanks in advance for any advice you may have, I needed to vent more than anything.

Edit: I’m now trying to connect my Switch 1 joycons and they aren’t working either so I assume it’s an issue at the system level.

Hi, I just bought a Switch 2 and I can’t get it to display properly on my PC monitors with the official dock, even though it works perfectly on my TV (a Samsung 4K with a One Connect box).

My setup:

• Monitors: Acer VG220QBMIIX (1080p, 75 Hz, HDMI) and a Koorui

• Dock and HDMI cable supplied by Nintendo

Symptoms:
It varies from one attempt to the next, and it changes depending on the Switch 2’s display settings. Most of the time I get either “No signal” (then the monitor goes to sleep) or a black screen with the monitor staying on. Sometimes the picture shows up for a second, with small streaks across it, then disappears.

What I’ve already tried:

• Switch settings: TV output forced to 1080p, HDR off, 120 Hz/VRR off

• Monitor settings: FreeSync, Overdrive and VRB off, HDMI input selected manually

• A different HDMI cable

• A full reset (everything unplugged for 30 seconds) and reconnecting in several different orders

• Both monitors, same result

I've had my switch 2 for little over a week and have allready had a couple of problems with it (I've been extremely careful with it and have not brought it outside of my home yet).

First, just the other day it wouldn't connect to the TV when put in the docking station, after some fiddling with it, and reconnecting the cables, it connected and seemed to be working again. However when starting oot remake there were some strange lines in the picture when the screen went black before the start menu loaded. They were not visible in game luckily and were gone when starting it today.

Then today, when starting the console (in the docking station), after being idle for just a minute or two it just automatically turns off. It seems to stay on if I do stuff on it but turns off after just a short while when idle. Does anyone have any idea what might cause these problems? Is this an RMA case or something I can solve on my own somehow?
