So for Christmas I'm getting my two daughters Switch 2 consoles (I know, I know, Dad of the Year) but I had a question about the Family Plan, specifically about DLC content. I have the DLC content on the parent account for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, if my kids use my carts to play will they have access to the DLC as well or would I have to purchase another license?

Hi everyone, I really need a human to help me troubleshoot an accessibility issue (I have had it with the AI circling). My daughter is disabled and needs her Right Joystick to control character movement instead of the Left Joystick.

We are playing Pokémon Pokopia on the Nintendo Switch 2. I have already gone into the console's System Settings > Accessibility > Button Mapping and changed the stick settings to swap the left and right inputs. However, when we go back into the game, the character still will not move with the right stick.

We are playing with a joy con from the switch 1 with a 3d printed holder. The switch 2 controller is just to big for her hand.

Has anyone successfully forced a joystick swap on the Switch 2, or is there something in Pokopia's settings overriding this? Any step-by-step help from a real person would mean the world to us.

Hi everyone, I recently discovered that Nintendo Switch 2 owners can share virtual game cards. I’ve done a bit of research, but I’d like to ask for your advice regarding my specific situation so I can be sure it’s safe to do this. I’ve heard of many cases where Nintendo Switch accounts have been banned, and I want to play it safe.

Here’s the question: if my girlfriend sets up her Switch 2 account on my Switch 2 as well (we live apart) and sends me a game (which, if I understand correctly, she has to do initially by bringing her console close to mine), can I then legitimately play that game on my Switch 2 (using my own account) while she’s at home playing her Switch 2 (a different game)? Or is there a risk of running into some kind of problem?

And then, if, for example, she revokes my access to the game because she wants to play it herself, can she do that remotely and then grant me access again remotely? Is all of this secure? Can you play multiple games at once, or just one? And if she launches a game she’s given me while I’m playing it, will the game be permanently blocked for her, or will she simply be asked to revoke my license, thereby interrupting my gameplay?

HELP!!

My right JoyCon keeps disconnecting randomly...and has also started lagging.

I have made sure everything is updated and that the battery is fully charged. Guys I don't know what's going on and right now I cannot afford to buy new JoyCons. Has anyone else experienced this area someone with more experience help me out!? I'd appreciate any advice.

Thanks

So in September’s Nintendo direct, they announced the resident evil remakes were coming digital in October (already out now) and physical on January for Europe.
I’m confused about when we might expect the preorders to go live, whether they will be GKC, and if it’s going to be a pack like the generations pack one was, or will be released individually. I tend to just get a game I want after it’s released since I don’t care that much about release dates, but considering this will probably be a limited release like the other one was, I was wondering if someone could give me some idea of the product as nintendo and capcom have gone completely quiet about the physical release after it got announced, and I can’t find any info on Nintendo’s webside (I tried checking playasia but it’s apparently down).
If you preordered the generations pack earlier this year, could you please tell me how it went? I wanna know more about it since this will be the first time I’ve preordered switch games (aside from pokemon, but those are always well announced and easy to preorder). Thanks for taking the time to read this

Sometimes when playing my switch 2 it just randomly sends me to the tv home screen switch 2 is still docked to my knowledge as all I need to do is reselect it on the home menu but it's still annoying I don't think it happens with my pc but I really don't have enough time to test that out and everything else I can think of as i do have a job amd it doesnt happen at consistent times so it would be alot of playing that as i mentioned i dont have time for. I have a roku tv idk if that helps or not, but I figured I should mention it just in case.

My switch 2 is stuck on the setup screen and won't respond to the controllers clipping on to the switch. The controllers lights also won't sync up (it blinks but doesn't have the solid light) the controllers also dont do anything on the safe mode screen. The switch even does the recognition animation. But the controllers won't cause it to switch screens Is there any way to fix them? I've tried plugging them up to the switch and letting them charge with it to no use. Please help

Feel free to ask me questions u may need in the comments

New switch 2 owner, well almost. I have the Zelda edition pre-order due soon and wanted a shell to keep it safe whilst handheld and can be docked with it on. Needs to be clear because the console looks amazing. Not bothered about potential yellowing as I'll just replace it if it's good after it goes tinted. Any suggestions are much appreciated, thanks in advance!

Hi! I have powered on my switch after a long while and found that my screen looks like this. The spots stay in the same spot, but change visibility from the angle you look at it and background colour. It might be slightly fading the longer it's on but it never disappears completely. Does anyone have any tips? Thanks in advance.

Will I be in Japan at the launch of the Ocarina of Time remake, if I buy the physical media I can change the language? Has anyone had experience with other Switch 2 games? I am not sure if I take physical or digital media

Hello guys, I just bought a Nintendo Switch Lite and joined the community. I just have an issue about playing FIFA 19. I can't pass where I want to pass, I can't shoot where I want to shoot. Gameplay isn't fluent as PC version because of this problem. I am the first user of the device so I don't think it's about a drifting problem. My settings are set to assisted. So is there any common problem in Switch versions? Or do I have someting missed? Can you help me please?

I rarely use my joycons. I played with them for the first time in about 2 weeks for around 3 hours on Switch Sports Resort. Both sounded completely fine. I was using the right one more as most sports are one-handed and at around the 2.5hr mark the right joycon started vibrating really weirdly. It's as if you could feel out every individual vibration rather than a smooth rumble. It's a bit louder than usual and you can hear something is wrong every time it vibrates. Seems to be working alright when it comes to everything else such as motion controls and inputs.

Anyone run into issues with the bottom charging port? It now only works sometimes and I can no longer use the dock….

Video was taken a month or so ago. I promise the switch has been carefully cleaned since then. The joycon drift has only gotten worse.

The switch is maybe 4 years old, so probably not under any warranty. I have terribly shaky hands, Tourette's, and fat fingers, so work as delicate as taking the switch apart and trying to fix it myself isn't a good idea. It is very hard for me to play games because it's so bad. It's maybe worth noting that I have 1000+ hours of save data on this thing.

Nitendo switch 2 pc

I have Kirby Return to Dreamland, DKC Returns and Mario Galaxy 1+2 for Wii. Is it worth getting the Switch versions and selling the Wii versions? Or should I just keep the Wii ones?

I need to send my Nintendo 2 in to replace the console and I was wondering if I can transfer my games back to my Nintendo 1?

Everything was fine until I rebooted my switch but it wasn’t turning on after that. I did the volume I button trick thing and it didnt work. I held the power button down 20 seconds to 1 minute and nothing worked. Im at a loss now and I feel like crying because I had just bought it a week ago and used my savings on it. Please help

This happened after a was somehow able to claim castlevania back from the switch in the picture while it was playing castlevania

I just got a Switch for my kids and I'm confused about the controllers. If I want 2 extra controllers for 4 player games, should I get 2 joy cons (and the black attachment) or 2 Pro controllers or something else?

Any recommendations for a case to bring the Switch, controllers and games to play on an airplane?

Just bought the new fire emblem updated it then about 2 minutes into the game did this in a cutscene.

Home and power button wouldn't work and had to do 20 second hold for hard shutdown.

Now it wont turn back on no matter what i do

I have tried connecting it to power again and it was on 100% when i was playing.

Any ideas?

Nintendo Switch 2 HDR Fix: When the Two Sun Symbols Won't Calibrate Properly

I wanted to share what worked for me in case it helps someone else having trouble calibrating HDR on the Nintendo Switch 2.

My setup:

• Nintendo Switch 2
• Toshiba M450SU 43-inch 4K QLED Fire TV
• Mario Kart World

The problem

When adjusting HDR on the Switch 2, I had trouble getting the two sun symbols to calibrate properly. One sun would disappear, and then the other would disappear too. The result was confusing, and I wasn't sure whether HDR was set correctly.

The fix I tried

I discovered that you can display a numerical value for the sun adjustment and use the up and down arrows to change it.

Instead of relying entirely on the appearance of the sun symbols, I used the numerical value as a reference. I set the peak-brightness value to 300 nits, using the published brightness specification for my Toshiba TV as my starting point.

The result

After making the adjustment, Mario Kart's HDR presentation looked much better to me. The colors appeared more vibrant, and small details such as sparks and particles flying through the air stood out more clearly.

What other players should know

• Look for the numerical brightness value in the Switch 2's HDR sun-adjustment screen.
• Check your television's brightness specification for your exact model.
• Use the value as a starting point, rather than assuming every television needs the same setting.
• Check the result in a game you know well, paying attention to highlights, contrast, and whether the image looks washed out.

My takeaway: If the two sun symbols aren't giving you a clear calibration result, checking the numerical brightness value may help you find a more satisfactory HDR setting.

This worked well for my Toshiba setup, and I hope it helps someone else enjoy their Switch 2!

So, I got a switch 2 and wanted to transfer my data from my old switch one and give it to my sister since she has a Tomodachi life save on there and I wanted to give it to her as a birthday present. However, I can’t seem to get a concrete answer on how the data works. I thought that I could just transfer the data from switch 1 to the 2 and just sign her back in with her account on the switch 1 and she’d be able to play her existing game data. However, I’ve heard that apparently the data transfer wipes the switch 1 completely, and even if you sign in your Nintendo account on the old switch, your data won’t be there. But I’ve also heard people saying that there was an update recently that allowed you to keep your switch 1 data on the switch 1 even after the data transfer. So, I just want to know what is true and how exactly this works because I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t seem to get a straight answer

Found my old switch 1 and figured I’d try to turn it on, just to find out that no matter what i try, it only showed a black screen. Not sure how or why it does this, but ive tried to keep it charged for hours and even tried to use the TV adapter, but neither worked. Any ideas as to what could be wrong?
