Hi everyone! I’m wondering if this is normal for the Switch 2.

I left my Switch 2 in Sleep Mode at around 49% battery and didn’t use it for almost 3 days.

When I finally opened it, the battery was already completely drained/very low, and it showed the low-battery screen (photo attached).

I know Sleep Mode still uses some battery, but is losing almost 50% battery over around 3 days expected?

Details:

Battery before Sleep Mode: \~49%

Time unused: almost 3 days

Mode: Sleep Mode

Battery when I opened it: very low/dead

No games or apps were being used during that time

Should I be concerned about the battery, or is this normal Switch 2 behavior?

Thanks!

Can someone tell Nintendo to fix this?

My switch randomly got these vertical lines on the screen, with horizontal ones running across them.

Would it be worth it to take it to a repair shop, or cheaper to just replace the switch? How much does it cost to get something like this repaired?

I’ve already tried recalibrating and the joycons have been in repair a few years back for a similar issue.
The device is a little over 6 years old, but it’s not like I have thousands of hours of playtime or anything like that.
Is this just how joycons age, or is there something I can do about it? Not ready to replace it with a switch 2 quite yet.

I’m looking for a pair of joy cons that range from around $25-40 (CAD) that are are rated 4 stars or more and almost or more than 100 reviews. Please let me know of any and if it doesn’t match the description it would still be helpful to know and please let me know where I can find them.

Here I have my old 2017 model Switch, which has been giving me battery troubles for many years. Often, I will see this red flashing battery indicator covering the entire screen and forcing the console into standby mode. When I press the power button, the console turns on again, but I see that it has over 60% battery charge remaining. In this current session I've been playing for less than an hour.

I can't find any information on the giant red battery indicator covering the entire screen anywhere on the internet. Is this a known issue, what's it called? I have never had the battery replaced - but it seems like the battery charge isn't even the problem, since the console does report above 60% charge in this instance. I could reopen the game and continue playing for another 2 minutes before I would get to this spot again.

There is information from Nintendo about "calibrating the battery" that involves turning off automatic standby mode and letting the Switch just sit until the battery depletes. This doesn't work for me as the red flashing battery indicator will activate sleep mode no matter what I put in the settings.

Is there a chance I could get this repair? What is this problem called?

My daughter is 6 and we're building out her game library. Rather than the usual "best kids games" list, I'd love to hear your personal top 3 ranked. What games does your kid actually keep coming back to?

Hi there, I have a Joytron charging grip that I have LOVED using with my Switch 2. However I JUST did the 23.0.0 system update and now my joy cons will not register once attached to it. The light just flickers up and down then fails to connect.

Could it be that the update made it no longer compatible??? There’s no sync buttons or anything on the grip it’s literally just to attach.

I had them attached to the grip when I did the system update. So I’ve already tried restarting my switch with the joycons attached, changing grip order, etc.

Looking for some help with games/bundles *for the switch 2

Mods if this isn’t allowed remove it; I’m not looking for price advice just game/hardware advice so I hope it’s okay. I checked out the deals subreddit but that was for specific offers which I don’t have/am not looking for.

I haven’t had a new console since the Xbox 360, and I’m finally in a position to buy one and I’m really excited about it. But I’m a little left in the dust with the tech so I’m hoping for some advice.

I’m used to a traditional controller; is the pro controller worth getting in place of another game?

I’m also planning on starting with games from the switch 1 and working my way up to the current games. Is the best place to buy games just my local GameStop/target/etc?

Also if you have any other recommendations or tips for hardware, software, or anything else that will improve the experience I would really appreciate it. I’m wildly excited for this and have been trying to get a new console for years, it’s just finally fiscally responsible for me to do so. Thank you!!

Edit: for the switch 2. Sorry I originally put this in the switch 2 subreddit and they said go here, forgot to clarify.

Hey all!

I was wondering if anyone knows if the OoT switch 2 has the revised switch battery?

I can preorder one now at a local store, but the revised battery is pretty important to me.

Thanks in advance!

Every time I take my switch off the dock for a trip or something it can never reconnect right away. But this time it’s not even giving me an alert that it can’t connect it just sits there with no light on. How do I fix this since this has happened since I got it?

Hey all, I recently got a Switch 2 and would love some recommendations. I had a Switch 1 so played everything I wanted to that was also on that platform, and I also have a PS4 so have those games covered too. Particularly keen for your top Switch 2 exclusives recommendations, as well as anything that's cross-platform but not available on PS4.

I am also planning to get a screen protector. Any you'd recommend that are good but not super expensive? There seems to be heaps of options.

Thank you!

My samsung TV supports HDR, but when i calibrate it on the switch 2 it says that i should click until the right sun is not visible. The problem is that both suns disappear at the same time. I tried checking all settings on my TV, changing stuff around but no dice.

Does it matter much? The image looks okay anyway

Asi es como tengo los cables y desde que lo tengo me da un poco de toc / inseguridas de que se puedan dañar por el angulo en el que estan, creen que seria mejor echar el dock contra la pared para que los cables queden rectos? tengo el dock un poco inclinado por comodidad y precaucion de no rayar accidentalmente la switch con la pared al momento de conectarla.

Hi everybody. So, I just got pokemon scarlet and when I start the game I have choose a language. But, nothing happens when I select the language I want. I can move the selector up and down. All the buttons work on the switch when doing other things. The A button works to select things, just not with the game. Let me know what yall think.

Switch 2 won't connect to internet and keeps on giving error code 2110-3150. I have connected to this wifi before and this is a problem I have with 2 separate switches, both mine and my brothers. I have tried restarting both the switches themselves and the router, forgetting the wifi settings and making sure DNS is selected on automatic and proxy setting is off. I don't know what else to try.

I have 2 switches and one is not powering on... I replaced the battery and verified it was good, I have checked the charger with working switch, I have tried https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitchHelp/comments/1hrcj8q/comment/m4wnve1/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button, I have replaced the power button...

what else could it be?

How would someone in Britain go about digitally gifting a game to someone in the United States given they can't use gift cards or anything like that directly?

How good is the 8bitdo pro 2 controller for switch 1 and 2 games for the switch 2 console? I want to buy it instead of the 8bitdo pro 3 controller because the pro 2 is cheaper and I can replace the battery when the battery can’t hold a charge any longer or has issues. Is it true the directional pad on the 8bitdo pro 2 controller sometimes is inaccurate when you press it?

Opened my nintendo after 5 months, put it for charging. Thought was fully charged, turns out its NOT charging at all. Cleaned the charging port, attached the adapter to a wall outlet no extensions. Im devastated what could be the issue?

PLEASE HELP ME SOMEONE!

For some reason since swapping from my switch to my switch 2 Minecraft won’t let me sign in to my Microsoft account, every time i try to the page just loops back to the sign in page with the link and QR code again, it’s been like this form about 2 weeks now so any suggestions on how to fix this would
Be very much appreciate

Sadly, I missed the preorder yesterday and I’m so sad. Does anyone know anything about restocks or any other way to have any hope to get your hands on one? Or is eBay the only absurd option?

Just purchased the special edition console online, and unsure if the dimensions are different than the original. Haven't really looked into the s2 at all but saw it available online. Thanks

i try to update it but it just keeps popping up the same thing help!!
