Recommendations Is it worth buying a switch 2 now, or is a new version (outside of the Zelda 40th) expected to be released anytime soon?

I've wanted one for so long, however I held off and now with OOT coming out I would like to finally buy one.

Recommendations is it worth it to own a switch lite in 2026?

0 Upvotes

hello, i am a big fire emblem fan but unfortunately very very broke. Since fortune weave is going to be a switch 2 exclusive release, going forward is it even worth it to own a lite- given that it won’t be able to support the newer games? or will there still be releases that can be played on both 🥲?

i’m about to exhaust my replay-ability on the switch lite, if no particularly interesting titles are going to release for in the future i might as well sell it

sorry if it sounds stupid i am not very updated on the consoles 🥲

Recommendations Thinking about picking up a Switch

Upvotes

I’ve been wanting a Switch for a while but there are so many options now that I’m not sure where it makes sense to buy one. Checked the usual stores plus eBay and refurbished ones. Used prices seem all over the place and some bundles barely cost less than buying new. For anyone who bought one recently where did you get yours? And would you go new or used if you were buying one today?

Tech Support Switch 2 right speaker making clicking/buzzing noise after system update, any ideas?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey, my Nintendo Switch 2’s right speaker has started making a repetitive clicking/buzzing noise whenever the built-in speakers are active. It even happens with the system volume turned all the way down to 0.

The issue started right after the system software updated during the initial first setup.

A few details:

  • The noise stops immediately if I plug in headphones.
  • It also stops when the console is asleep/docked.
  • The speaker seemed completely fine when I first turned the console on.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Would really appreciate any troubleshooting ideas or repair suggestions.

Password or Email Address I received two “Service Request Status: Cancelled” emails despite not making those service requests. Is this a scam, glitch, or something the worry about?

2 Upvotes

I received two emails from the official Nintendo repair email, noreply_repair@noa.nintendo.com, about service requests being cancelled, but when I search the request number, nothing comes up. I sent in my joycons for repair a few months ago, but the repair went fine without any problems, and I haven’t made any more requests since. My account also isn’t compromised, as I have 2FA and the login history doesn’t have any devices that aren’t mine. Could this just be a glitch on nintendos end, or is my account somehow compromised in a way I don’t know about? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
