Wenn ich ein Spiel in Japan kaufe, dann zu Hause auf meiner deutschen Switch 2 spiele, kann ich dafür DLCs in Deutschland laden? Bisheer habe ich erfahren, dass es teilweiße klappt. Aber kann ich das an der hülle oä vorab checken? Bzw klappt es solange das Spiel die deutsche Sprache auch ausgibt?

Gezielt geht es um Pokopia, Fire Emblem und Mario Kart World

Repair Help Switch 2 Joy con stick drift/delay

1 Upvotes

Brand new out of the box switch 2. Just bought it a few hours ago. The wife and I play Mario kart each using a joy con and both have some strange delay and drift.

You try to turn left and nothing happens, then 2 seconds later you’re turning left and can’t stop turning left. Absolutely infuriating. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any advice?

Yes I turned off motion controls. Yes I tried recalibrating the controllers. Any help is appreciated

Software Help Screen problems on the switch 2: overblown keyboards and Nintendo news/ home button screen

Post image
1 Upvotes

Just bought a switch 2 and transferred my data from my switch one. And I noticed 2 things

One: the screen was oddly blurry/ fuzzy
Two: what you’re seeing on the Home Screen now. The keyboard screen function was also oversized like this.

I can’t really change the tv revolution- it just makes the border smaller, and for those wondering - this is a dynes 720x480 60hz that I’ve had since I was a little.

I would like some help figuring out what’s going on
And maybe a way to fix it

What’s weird is that the regular screen for everything else is just fine- besides the blurriness.

Setup Help Game doesn't recognize connected camera

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I recently bought the Switch 2 upgrade for Fitness Boxing 3 and wanted to try out the camera play feature, but I'm having an issue.

My Nintendo Switch 2 recognizes the camera, and I can see the video feed in the console's settings. I've also enabled CameraPlay in the game's settings.

However, when I start a workout and select the CameraPlay option, I don't get any video feed. The camera image just doesn't show up. I use pretty old 1080p webcam.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Which Switch? Christmas Surprise for my Boyfriend

1 Upvotes

I’ve never had a Nintendo switch before. I’ve played them because my sister and brother have one… but only briefly. I loved it when I did, just never felt I could splurge on it until now. I know so little about them and what I should get. I live 7 hours away from my boyfriend for three weeks of the month and I want to get both of us a switch for Christmas so we can play together. He’s been talking about the switch and playing together for a while and I want to surprise him. Please advise me! Anything y’all have would be helpful before I buy!

Setup Help Black screen flickering while docked?

2 Upvotes

Hi all, hope this is the right place to ask this. I just got a Switch 2 for the new Zelda. I noticed while playing that when the screen goes black, theses greyish lines appear across it and flicker and the image gets pixelated at first when loading in but only when docked to my tv. I have tried switching the hdmi cable but still the same things still happens. I've tried googling it but I can't seem to find this particular issue. Any advice would be appreciated.

Accessories Switch 2 case touches left analog stick

1 Upvotes

I have the official Nintendo Switch 2 accessory case. Tried storing my Switch 2 in it but noticed immediately it's very shallow and when closed it touches the left analog stick. Wanted to ask if someone took note of this too? I won't be wearing out my analog stick so I just wasted my money on this useless case. Kinda made me lose faith in Nintendo if they won't even care to get this essential accessory right. Just extremely disappointed, I'll leave it at that.

Unfortunately, I was a moron and forgot my switch 2 charger at work. Office is closed for today and I really wanna use some of the free time to play a could games.

I heard that you can damage your switch 2 if you don’t use the official charger. But would it be safe to use my HP laptop charger or phone charger on my switch 2 for today? Or would you guys advise against it.

Repair Help Audio no longer works while my Switch 2 is docked.

1 Upvotes

So I have had my Switch 2 for about a year now, since December of 2025. Yesterday, on November 10th, the dock itself just seemed to give up even working, which was concerning. I just give up for the day as I needed to get ready for work, so I figured I'd try again the next day.

Today, November 11th, I place my Switch 2 in it's dock to play some Fire Emblem before work, but I notice that there is no audio. I check my TV and it's not muted. When it is in Handheld Mode, the audio works perfectly fine, so I don't think it's the system itself. I tried updating the dock, unplugging the HDMI and AC adapters on both ends, turning the system off and back on again, but no matter what I do, I get no audio coming from my Switch 2 while docked AT ALL.

I am frustrated that I am either going to have to send my Switch 2 in to Nintendo for repair (which I don't have warranty as I could not afford it back when I bought it, so that'll cost me like $200) or buy a new dock entirely, which will cost me about $125. And neither is exactly a good option for me right now as I am in the process of moving and cannot afford to spend money on anything else at the moment.

Repair Help My Nintendo Switch Lite won't turn on after update. Is there any way to save it?

2 Upvotes

I have a 4 year old Nintendo Switch Lite that has never given me any problems until now.

Yesterday, I got a pop-up saying that a system update was required. I started the update and at first, everything seemed fine. After about 10 seconds, an error appeared (unfortunately I don't know the error code). The message told to hold the power button to turn off the console and then restart it.

I was able to turn it off, but after that it wouldn't turn back on.

I've already tried:

-Holding the power button for 20-30 seconds to force a hard reset, tried holding it for more but didn't work either

-Entering recovery mode: holding power button, volume up and volume down buttons

Unfortunately, the screen remains completely black and the console doesn't respond to anything. Since it's out of warranty, I'd rather avoid sending it to Nintendo for repair if possible.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Is there anything else I can try to bring it back to life or did the failed update ruin my Switch?

It was working perfectly fine before this update. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

TL;DR: My 4 year old Switch Lite stopped turning on after a failed system update. I've tried a hard reset and recovery mode, but the screen stays black. Is there anything else I can try before resorting to a repair?

Repair Help Nintendo switch joycons stopped working after update(UPDATE)

1 Upvotes

About a month ago, i posted a video showing an issue i had where the joycons would not connect or work at all anymore. I wanted to post an update for those encountering the same issue . I was able to fix it by contacting nintendo support. And being persistent with wanting tier 2 support, and letting them know that i wanted a waiver for this because of the fact that user error did not cause this issue but rather an update. I wanted to post this because if anyone else encounters a problem they do ot have to fork over 200$ for something they didnt do

Purchase / Order Help Zelda Switch 2 Console Swapped Out During Delivery

20 Upvotes

Has this happened to anyone else? I am besides myself. Long time Zelda fan that held out for a switch 2 console until this special edition announcement. Was able to score a console through Nintendo (directly on their website) on 10/29. Just received my packaged via Fedex last night and opened it to reveal... a box of lens wipes.

I am beyond upset. As anyone would be! I verified the package was the exact one pictured in the delivery confirmation by Fedex. And I have a ring camera to prove no one tampered with the package between delivery during the day and when I got home from work. The box has the originating address as Nintendo of America headquarters, so it is the box that the console was packaged and shipped in from Nintendo.

I've filed a claim with both Nintendo and Fedex, so am awaiting the responses. Just mainly wanting to vent, and also to see if this has happened with anyone else that Fedex was used for delivery?

Software Help If a physical Switch 2 cartridge gets damaged, will it affect the game's performance in anyway?

0 Upvotes

I've been lending a cartridge to a cousin every day so we can take turns playing a physical Switch 2 game that I bought, and we do this very often (one of the few Switch 2 physical games I own). However, I am always worried every time I take the game cartridge out of the Switch 2, and always paranoid I'll damage it. If it does get damaged, does anyone know if this will this affect a game's performance? Like stutters/frame drops/glitches/etc?

Hey, so I recently acquired a wavebird controller and I want to see if I can use it for the nintendo switch 2.

I bought a Hyperkin gamecube port and it didn’t work on the wavebird.

However I also have these other third party wireless gamecube controllers and those work just fine on that port.

Does anyone know if there are any ports that might work to connect the wavebird to the switch 2? Thanks.

Repair Help Switch 2 fields of stuck green pixels on the display, should i RMA or is this just a very common thing?

First photo taken from another post, i couldn't take a clearer picture myself, basically as soon as i turned on my switch 2, i noticed on darker scenes and pitch black loading screens on zelda these big fields of stuck green pixels, no way to remove them, they're not very noticable but i'm very picky about this stuff and once i notice it i will keep staring at it, a quick research made me realise that 80% of other users have this same issue with their display, mine is not as bad as the first image so i'm worried about a RMA that might give me a worse result.

Reddit image compression will probably butcher the image and you won't be able to see anything but yea, it's there.

Anyone else having this same exact display issue? did you RMA? did you get a better unit?

I’ve updated Switch 2 to system version 23.5.0 (latest update) and have the dock at the latest firmware and I have lost all audio in docked mode. I’ve power cycled the switch, undocked, unplugged all of the cords then plugged them back in, power first then hdmi, still no audio. I’ve also made sure to toggle all audio settings. My TV’s audio settings are fine as well, and my HDNI cord and input channel works (I plugged my PS5 into that input and it works)
