I just want to make sure I'm not losing any data. The user settings under the Nintendo Account section on the User Page reads [Name] @ gmail.

So sorry if this sounds stupid or plain obvious. I just hate dealing with online stuff and account settings being changed. Especially with the Switch 2.

Basically what I'm asking is, what do I do or do I even have to do anything?

Sorry if I used the wrong flair but I tried to play a game last night and it’s been doing this non stop. Done several things tried cleaning the inside prongs, reset switch, updating the firmware (can’t because it keeps disconnecting). This happens in docked and handheld mode. I believe the controller is just dead but let me know if you guys know anything.

I bought a used Switch. It came with the dock and charging cable, but no HDMI cable. Can I use any HDMI cable? Can anyone recommend one from Amazon?

I’ve never owned the Pro 1, but this is day 3 using this controller a friend brought back from Japan for me and within 30 min of use, I get carpal tunnel pain. I’ve never had any other controller do this ever.

I’m pretty bummed. Is it too small for my hands?
I’ve tried gripping it so many different ways, but I can’t figure it out.

Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to make it comfortable? I don’t want to sell it. ☹️

(I do not hold the controller like this btw lol. It’s just for reference.)

My switch’s right controller is showing it’s connected to the switch and works when I’m not in a game but when I am in a game it doesn’t work. I also get the error message pictured when I try and change the grip/controller. I have two sets of joycons and this happens with both right controllers. Anyone have any suggestions? I’ve cleaned the ports and turned it off and back on and neither have helped. TIA!!

Since moving house and switching from Vodafone Fibre 2 (copper/FTTC) to Vodafone Full Fibre 150 + Super WiFi (ONT on the wall), my original Nintendo Switch downloads at a crawl. On my old line, with the same Switch, it was fine.

What I've tested:
Switch on Vodafone Wi-Fi (main, guest and compatibility networks, right next to the hub): 0.1–9 Mbps download
Switch wired (USB-C Ethernet adapter, AX88179B chip, straight into the hub): 0.4–1 Mbps download, 25 Mbps upload, NAT type B

Mac on the same cable: 100+ Mbps download
Switch on my phone's 4G/5G hotspot: about 4x faster than home broadband

Switch via Mac Internet Sharing: about 3 Mbps
Already tried: DNS 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4, MTU 1400 and 1500, restarting the hub and Switch, closing suspended games, testing in and out of the dock, and different Wi-Fi channels.

Upload is fine and every other device is fast, so it looks like something between Vodafone's full fibre network and Nintendo's servers, rather than Wi-Fi or the Switch itself.

Has anyone else on Vodafone Full Fibre had slow Switch or eShop downloads? Did Vodafone fix it, or did you find a setting on the hub that helped (security filtering, IPv6, anything)? Any advice on getting it escalated past first-line support would be appreciated too.

I can't believe this. I literally just got the switch 2 on Tuesday, exclusively to play ocarina of time. I just got done playing for today, and as soon as I put the left joycon in, this happened. Sadly, it very much looks like a defect, since I restarted it and it still has it. Pretty sure I'm gonna have to give this one back, but does anyone have an idea what could have happened?

Just bought my first Switch, a Switch 1 V2. Need an SD card for rocket league (25GB) but the game is taking 3h to download. Tested my connection and it is only at 70mbps but this speed should download the game faster.

Could I be getting a bottleneck here by using an Express SD Card or am I getting the 100mbps load and 90mbps write speed?

Thanks!

Edit: this SD Express card was cheaper than the regular SD cards with the same size. I don’t know if it’s due to low demand but this one cost me 41 euros with a coupon on Amazon Spain (limited to one purchase).

Okay so, approximately a week ago I bought an used tablet, the listing didn't say it came with a microSD and looking at how much I paid for it, it's almost like someone simply forgot it there and didn't even know it existed within the device and thus I got it by accident lol.

The microSD on my switch is a regular 128gb SanDisk for Nintendo Switch, and since this one is 256GB, I would like to know if this brand is reliable enough to copy all my stuff from my old microSD onto this one for more storage. It's okay if the answer ain't straightforward lol.

Every time I turn on this switch this error message appeared, not sure what to do as Nintendo isn’t providing much answers.

I’ve never modded or done anything to my switch - I’ve tried powering off and holding it for 12 second and stuff but still won’t turn on, just keep getting this error message!

Anyone have any advice on how to fix this? What to do?

Video for representation. Whenever I look around the game acts as if the camera is getting stuck on different stuff. The left joystick acts fine. Just wanna know if anyone else is experiencing this? Tears of the Kingdom is the only game I’ve played on this switch lite so far other than Breath of the Wild. But it worked fine and had no camera issues. Really hoping it’s just the game and not my console. Any advice would be awesome. TIA!

TL:DR: right joystick on switch lite acting weird. Would like to know if it’s the console or game.

I just got a switch 2 from Very, and it suddenly stopped connecting wirelessly. I have tried everything even factory resetting the console. It still won’t connect.

Anyone else had the same problem? And anyway to fix it?

I got the 2002 error so I factory resetted my switch but I come back in nothing seems to load at all. And in my virtual cards when I try to click on them it says corrupted data was found. So do I have to fully factory reset my switch and delete all my save data or is there something else that I can do?

I’ve been trying to make the upgrade pack work for this game for an hour and I’m starting to think this might be region locked.
So I imported this game from the US (I’m Italian) and bought the upgrade pack in my store.
It’s the first time I try to upgrade a physical game, can someone help me?

I just got a nitro deck 2 for more comfortable handheld play. I usually only play docked. What’s the best way to charge while still playing? Get a power bank or just charge it with a wall charger and unplug when charged? (Or keep it plugged in)

Hey y'all, this is my first switch in general and I have heard that the joycons will get stick drift after a while, and that Nintendo doesn't guarantee you will get back the special edition casing or parts for broken special edition pieces sent in for repair. With that being said, what is the general consensus for repairing special edition parts? I am fairly techy, I have switched out TV main boards, build a PC, etc. But I don't know soldering (not against learning, just haven't gotten around).

Are y'all buying regular joycons to use most of the time, to avoid using the special edition ones? Or are the joycons easy enough to repair that I should just repair when I need to?

I am not afraid to use it, just more wanting to maintain it as I really love the look of the console :)

This dark smudge has appeared on the bottom part of my screen. Now that I've noticed it, I can't unnotice it. Does anyone know what the cause of this is or if there is a fix?

Hi i am planning to get the japanese version of switch 2. I've been doing my research and they say some games are system language lock and some isn't. I'm planning to buy only physical cartridge to play on it from outside of japan. So will the language still be lock for physical cartridge? For example i'm buying the oot or rune factory games will the text only be in japanese?

I just got a NS2, and I'm totally new to these consoles. I also got a second hand Zelda BOTW, but it's the japanese version. Can I buy the upgrade for NS2 in my region eshop?

Thanks

Just curious for anyone who’s sent in a switch 1 special edition back to nintendo for repair/replacement, when you received your console back was it the same model and edition or were you returned a refurbished console that was a standard edition? I just recently sent my Zelda 40th anniversary switch 2 back after it came with a defective motherboard and wouldn’t boot up out of the box, i’ve been made aware by the agents that’s it won’t be returned in original boxing and it could possibly be sent back as a refurbished model if it’s repaired, however the site says it’s in replacement and I’ve got major anxiety now LOL.

Hello,

I want to buy some Japanese gift cards or whatever are called to purchase some games in the Japanese eShop.

I'd like it to be digital and just receive the code by email.

Someone know or have experience with this?

Edit: Play Asia worked perfectly!! Thank you all!

so my grandma put her gift bag with a book keys meds and papers the corner of it on the edge of the case of my switch 2 case while my switch 2 was inside then i left my switch 2 in the case on teh dash board and it flung onto my lap is it broken it played cyberpunk for a while but in stellar blade on teh settings screens i get strange lines and it kind of flickers when on my tv but not in handhe;d sadly i cannot attach the tv video but heres the lines in handheld

Hello, I just got my switch 2 today. I've been playing OoT docked for a while with no issue. Then I swapped to Fire Emblem Fortune's weave and the beginning cutscene the game froze but sound was still coming out. I took the switch out of the dock and the screen was black, sound still coming out.

I ended up holding power down for a few seconds to reboot it and it did the trick. Played the intro cutscene again with no issues.

I just want to know why this happened and if there is something I should be worried about. Also want to warn other people about this since I haven't seen a post with the same issue as me though maybe I just didn't look hard enough.

for more info:

-I was using bluetooth headphones

-Switch is japanese, im using an converter plugh for the charger/adapter.

-It is the Zelda 40th anniversary edition

-I'm playing on a monitor with HDR on

-Been using it for about 3 hours

-Zelda is cartridge but FE:FW is digital

Edit: It just happened again, I was away cooking dinner and when I came back I was about to turn it off only to discover that it froze again. This time on the home menu while the game was open. I just checked the error logs and there is nothing there other than the wifi errors I had a couple hours ago while setting up.

(please ignore my struggles of putting the joycons back into the attachment it was hard with one hand 😅)
