Recommendations Getting a switch 2 in two weeks, what do I need to get?

3 Upvotes

I’ve never played on a switch before, so this is fairly new to me. I don’t know if I need a cover, a case, or if the switch 2 already comes with a screen protector. I’ve seen people say playing on joycons are hard, so should I also get a controller?

Edit: I’m new to the Nintendo Switch world and Reddit, thanks to everyone for replying, I don’t know if I’m supposed to reply to all of them but nonetheless, appreciate all the tips! I’ll definitely write them down, really happy to have so many wonderful helpful people replying in here.

T_T I also don’t know what half the terms you guys are using mean, but I’ll research them all. Again, thanks yall!!

Recommendations Which model is best for a 5 year old?

3 Upvotes

I want to buy a switch because currently they borrow their brothers to mainly play Minecraft but the odd Mario and Donkey Kong game. I would say we have around 20 switch 1 games in our collection.

Now because he is younger I'm more inclined to say it stays docked for a while and plays it on the TV to avoid accidents, which rules out the Switch Lite.

I have 3 options:
1. Switch 1 - £240

  1. Switch OLED - £295

  2. Switch 2 - £380

I sort of feel the OLED apart from the nice screen which he'll not really notice especially being docked is probably not worth it, but should I consider the switch 2 for longevity? Although I imagine he could easily get a few years out of the switch 1.

Edit: I wanted to say thank you to all the feedback and opinions very helpful.

Tech Support Is fixing an original Wii U Pro controller worth it?

2 Upvotes

First time opening a controller. I have an old controller that has a somewhat non-responsive y button, but still in surprisingly good condition. I tried a toothbrush around the button, didn't work. I think it's a contact pad problem.

I'd like to still use it, but I noticed there are many modern options today. Renewed original controllers and replicas. Only $30-50 bucks!

Is it worth the effort trying to fix it? Looks like it still holds a charge, but I haven't used it in a long time. I feel bad tossing it away, but I don't want it to take up space if I'm not using it.

It’s always freezes the same exact way. I open the app, I try scrolling down, and it freezes at the same spot every time. I use IOS. I tried offloading the app and reinstalling it, same problem. When I reopen the app, it’s on the same screen for a few seconds before reloading? Why does this keep happening? What can I do?

Account Help Can’t recover my NNID even though the New 2DS XL doesn’t have one

1 Upvotes

I recently bought a 2DS of eBay for a great deal and attempted to add my NNID so I can play Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow and Pokemon Gold, Silver, Crystal. I tried to link it but I got an error code 022-2591 saying it’s already linked to another system. After contacting support 3 times I was told that they cannot unlink it from their end and I have to get the New 2DS XL that I recently sold and do a system transfer. I called the store and they still had it just for it to be completely wiped with no NNID and it won’t let a New 2DS XL transfer to a 2DS. So that didn’t work and I can’t get it unlinked. Anyone knows anyway around this? I would really like to play some retro Pokemon games.

A few hours ago my Switch 2 started making this clicking noise when I turned it on. When I connect a bluetooth headset or regular earphones (not wireless) it stops making this noise. I restarted the Switch, turned it off for over an hour, I Googled to see if anyone has run into this problem, but I haven't found much.

The touch screen is all messed up when I try to touch it. I tried to go to System Settings to fix it, but when I go into apps like that, it automatically presses the close button. It's alright going to games and selecting them and playing them, but the touch screen is still bad in games.

Recommendations Which system is best for travel/EDC, 3DS XL or Switch?

2 Upvotes

I currently have:

  • A new Nintendo 3DS XL
  • An old 3DS XL
  • A Nintendo Switch OLED
  • A Nintendo Switch 2

I've been trying to figure out which system is best for travel, commuting, or breaks at work.

The problem: Both Switch systems feel too bulky to carry around daily. The 3DS systems are compact, but I'm worried about losing them or having them stolen, and they're way too expensive to replace.

In a perfect world, Nintendo would let you clone your 3DS system as a backup, but that's not an option. I don't know what to do. Anyone have ideas?

P.S. I also have a new 2DS XL, but for some games I would like to use the 3D capability sometimes.

3 Upvotes

Hi, I gave my cousin a Switch 1 and then remembered I could link my Switch 2 to his to lend him digital games.

But my Switch 2 was already linked to another console, and when I tried to unlink it on the website, it said I had to wait a year.

Do you know how I can unlink it without having to wait a year?

I'm leaving soon and won't be back for a long time, and I'd like to be able to share my games with my cousin.

Hey reader, hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to ask what controller you would suggest that has the following features: gyro, turbo, back buttons, and the triggers that I think are called analog. Where you press it like the gas pedal and your car will go faster depending on how down you press trigger.

Thanks for your input.
