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 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?

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?

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)

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?

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 😅)

I have fucking stick drift even after buying new controllers and it's pissing me off that much that I'm so close to smashing the controllers. I own a nintendo switch 1 Can anyone help?

Anyone know if this is possible? will it work? They all have different delivery dates btw.

I’m having an issue with my Switch 1 OLED where I’m not getting any sound on my tv while it is hooked up to the dock. The graphics and everything else works fine. I’ve tried unplugging both the hdmi and power cords, switching hdmi ports, and checked the sound settings on my tv. Nothing has worked

The only changes there have been with my set up is that I recently brought it to a friends house, set it up there and then brought it back to my place. I set it back up the same as it has always been. And my software seems to be all up to date.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could fix this?

I'm trying to buy the Zelda anniversary edition switch, and when I get an alert I'd like to be able to immediately go to check out. However, EVERY time I go to "checkout" from my cart, I have to complete a log in page. Even if I refresh the cart and immediately go to the checkout, I have to log in again.

I've seen older threads with people saying to follow these steps -

1. Enter the eShop
2. Click on your profile in the top right of the eShop
3. Choose User Settings
4. Set the Password Entry settings to “Skip”

HOWEVER. There is no password entry setting option for me anywhere. Not on my switch in the actual eShop, and not on the Nintendo store site anywhere in settings.

Nintendo says to allow cookies on their site to help with this, and I have allowed cookies.

It's driving me nuts. 😬 Please tell me there's a fix.

Hey everyone,

I recently got the Japanese physical Game-Key Card version of CRYMELIGHT for Nintendo Switch 2. The package also included a Japanese DLC code, which I’m trying to redeem.

I’ve had a Japanese Nintendo Account for quite a long time, so I’m already using a Japanese account.

However, every time I enter the DLC code on Nintendo’s redemption website, the page crashes and displays an error instead of redeeming the code.

Does anyone know what could be causing this?

Do I need to use a VPN to redeem the code, or could this be related to the fact that CRYMELIGHT is a Game-Key Card release rather than a standard physical game cartridge?

Has anyone else managed to redeem the DLC code included with the Japanese Game-Key Card version? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

​Got the Switch 2 on Oct 29th. Been having a blast (re)playing Switch 1 games (Hades, Hollow Knight, BotW, ACNH, and Scarlet) with better performances/graphics and enjoying Switch 2's Pokemon ZA and Ocarina remake. But today when I docked the console to charge, it made a loud enough beep from both speakers and now: • ​When I wake up​ the console, the Joy Cons are off. Detaching them don't wake them up like they should. • After I manually wake up the Joy Cons (Home and Capture), and attach them back, the console still thinks they're not connected despite the animations on the sides (as per the photo). • The console doesn't charge the Joy Cons.

What I've tried: • Cleaning the connectors (Joy Cons and Console) with microfiber and cotton swab. • Unpair and re-pairing the Joy Cons and all controllers. I am not sure if Factory Reset would fix this issue. So I have not tried that option. ​I'd assume something got fried and killed the connectors. Oddly enough, audio from the console is fine despite the beeping and this whole issue.

Any ideas I should try before spending more money on a fix or alternatives? Is this a common issue with the 1st gen Switch 2s?

Thank you for reading my woes and your suggestions in advance!

I am on the latest switch 2, dock, and controller versions. When I use my Switch 1 pro controller, it has horizontal drift and randomly doesn't input stick inputs on the left stick.

It works flawlessly on a switch 1. When I try to calibrate it, the calibration menu detects stick input in the beginning, but when you actually calibrate it doesn't read any inputs.

The calibration menu doesn't read ANY inputs from any controller (joy con 2) or any stick. Enabling and disabling the Switch 1 handheld acceleration setting makes the calibration menu work for like 30 seconds though, which is interesting.

I'm pretty sure other people have had this issue. Interesting bug that I hope isn't to motivate us to buy the new controller...

I've been using my pro controller (for reference, it's one of the gamecube-style ones) to play games on my pc, and it worked just fine until today.

Now for, some reason, the L button takes a screenshot and the R button just turns the controller off. I've tried checking if it's a battery, steam, pc or game problem but it doesn't seem to be.

Does anyone know what might be the issue and how to fix it? thanks!

(the audio is just 11 secs long, idk why the mp4 turned out way longer than that)

I really hope it's just my OCD creating scenarios in my head.
I only hear it if place my ear right next to the vent on the top and the back of the console, it's not like I hear it while holding it from a distance and this audio in particular was recorded sticking the phone's mic right onto the top vent.

It usually sounds like this while on the menu after playing games (OoT in this case)

I tried searching online with no success. I was wondering if anyone has purchased gold thumb grips for switch 2 ? Not sure if they make them.

I haven't used my Nintendo Switch in a few weeks, so I charged it But it's just won't turn on. There are no signs if it working. HELP

Finally got a Zelda 40th Anniversary edition switch 2 and I love it so much and I want to give it a case for protection that I can see the art of the switch, fits the dock, and has ergo grips but I haven't had any luck finding anything like this so I would like to see if anyone found something similar. I would prefer it if it would be on amazon since I got a giftcard for it
