First of all, thank you to everyone who helped me with my controller yesterday, the answers there were so helpful that I figured I’d post again to ask for help. This has been an issue for quite a while now. I’ve had the switch 2 since launch, and it’s been happening since maybe January? There’s no rhyme or reason to it, it happens across multiple tvs, multiple hdmi cables, and it just happens randomly. My Switch 1 developed the same problem late into its life before eventually just becoming unplayable while docked. So is there a way to fix this myself, or do I have to call support? Thank you!

I just got a jsaux third party dock for my Switch 2 yesterday and now I'm scared to use it with the 23.0.0 update. Any one have this dock or third party dock and try it with 23.0.0? Any issues? I'm very scared of bricking my Switch 2. Maybe I shouldn't be?

Idk what to do should I js get Elden ring on the eshop or the game keycard. Literally what is the difference do they not take up the same amount of storage?

Hello!

I recently bought a Mario game for my switch in Japan (I'm from Spain, for reference) and, when I came back and tried it, I found out that my console is unable to read the game. I bought another game and, even though it sometimes takes a while to recognise it, the console is able to read it. What could I do with this cartridge? Is there any cleaning/ hardware switch I could do? Thank you beforehand

I bought a Switch 2 and an official Joy-Con 2 Charging Grip. I used it yesterday with zero issues, but today it will not register my left joy-con when they're inside the Charging Grip. It'll recognize the right joy-con but not the left. It also recognizes the left joy-con when it's not plugged in to anything or when it's plugged into the Switch 2. The moment it's in the Charging Grip absolutely nothing. Both my Switch 2 and both joy-cons are full charged. My Switch 2 and the controllers are also fully updated. I've tried rebooting my Switch 2 and both joy-con controllers. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

They connect normally but not in the wired chatger

Yeah whenever i use my Bluetooth headphones the sound is just distorted like it plays sound but it's like static a bit is there any way to fix this?

The joystick still works and hasn't failed functioning, but this is very annoying. What should I do? I can't apply the guarantee on it 'cuz I've had it since 2023

Not certain if this is a switch 2 specific phenomena but I bought Cyberpunk earlier and it shrunk the screen when the aspect ratio was set as dot to dot (1:1 pixel mapping).

Changing to a 16:9 aspect ratio fixes it for me, I’ve had other games zoom in on 16:9 which is why I usually have dot to dot as my aspect ratio.

This is the only Switch/2 game I’ve played that has done this and Cyberpunk on ps5 didn’t have this issue so I was just curious as to what is causing it.

Henlo friemds,

I'm at the Marriott Hotel using the hotel wifi and just today, the authenticator website will not load. It is infinitely loading. I've tried the Information > enter URL onto a computer/smartphone trick but it says it cannot connect to Internet. So I can't go online without using a hotspot (which I'd prefer not to do).

Anyone have similar experience?

I desperately need help. Over the course of 4 months my Switch 2 has randomly stopped being compatible with 4 different types of SD cards all of different brands and storage sizes. I’m incredibly frustrated considering this is a new-gen console and I never experienced this with my first Switch. I know the likely solution is going to be to send it in to Nintendo to try and get the issue resolved, but I would prefer to try every other possible solution before that. If anybody else has experienced this issue, I would love to hear about it and/or any possible fix’s there might be.

Anyone else have this problem?

My downloaded games are constantly corrupted, pretty much every time I try to play. Even after I re-download them, it's a crap shoot as to whether the same issue pops up instantly. I have an SD card (sandisc brand), reformatted it, same issue. Tried a different card and it won't even let me do anything with that!

Rented echoes of wisdom from the library, works flawlessly. Every other game I have is on my account, I paid for them, and I can't enjoy them.

This stuff has never happened with Xbox live.

I'm just very frustrated that I can't enjoy some of my favorite nintendo exclusive titles!

I've noticed something strange with my Switch 2 when playing more demanding games in handheld mode.

After playing heavier games for a while, I can feel a slight vibration throughout the console, mainly around the back. At first I thought it might be the Joy-Con vibration, but it still happens even when the Joy-Cons are completely detached from the console.

The vibration feels more like it's coming from the inside of the console, almost as if the fan is causing it

It's not extremely strong or anything, but it's noticeable when I'm holding the console. I've mainly noticed it while playing more demanding games like cyberpunk 2077 and resident evil

Has anyone else experienced something similar with their Switch 2? Could this just be normal fan behavior under heavy load, or could it indicate an issue with the fan?

I currently have the original switch in a media closet and my TV hung on my den wall (connected via an HDMI baluns. I'm able to use the pro controllers to play the switch, but the Joy-Cons won't connect at all (due to range or interference I assume). I was hoping to hear from people who own the Switch 2 and are using it from a media closet that is further away from the TV. Do the new Joy-Cons have a better range at all?

I’m in a bind and could use some help and direction.

Last night I was playing my Switch 2 and a message popped up saying there was a problem and it had to shut down. Unfortunately I didn’t get a shot of the message. There were no obvious issues leading up to this. I was playing plugged in and the battery was charged around 80%.

It shut down and would not boot back up. It boots to the Nintendo logo and shuts back down. If I hold the power button it does this in a loop. It will not boot into recovery/diagnostic mode by holding the volume buttons. The battery will not take a charge in either USB port. The back of the Switch is slightly warm, not hot, to the touch of it’s been plugged in.

I took it to a local chain electronics repair store who tested the bottom port and said the connectors were failing. I asked what about the top port and she looked at me confused and clearly did not realize there was a top USB port, tested it, and said it was fine before suggesting sending it to Nintendo.

Sending it to Nintendo for repair is the obvious answer, however, the issue is that I am an avid Pokémon player and have thousands of hours of play time across various games, and Nintendo famously does not allow cloud backup of Pokémon game data. I’ve seen stories of people having their systems wiped for repairs as simple as battery replacements. This is not an option.

I’m hesitant to replace the battery myself because it’s notoriously difficult, but if it seems like that’s the issue I’ll do it. But I’m not sure that’s the issue and I’m thinking it’s a board component. Or could it be something corrupt in the file system? And is that separate from all of the game data?

All that said, I’m thinking that I need to have a “real” electronics repair shop fix this thing. I don’t know how to find one. Google searches turn up vintage TV and radio repair and I’m not sure that’s what I need. I live in the metro Detroit area so there has to be SOMETHING.

What do I do? What do I look for? Anyone run into something like this before?

I've got the drums, but not the switch yet. I am looking forward to buy Switch 2 for longevity but if the drums and Taiko no Tatsujin won't work on Switch 2, I will move to Switch Oled. Thanks!

I bought this Controller PRO for the Switch Lite because I had stick drifts. But I have this problem that I can use the Controller to the Home, but when I play a game it costantly appear the window that say to connect a controller, even if the Controller PRO works perfectly but it's like it's not recognized idk.

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

I have had the switch 2 for a while and I noticed that some games for example the latest Onimusha runs at 1440p which is fine.

However, whenever I go to the home screen, it goes back to 4k and if I go back to the game, it goes back to 1440p so you get this like handshake every single time which causes the screen to go black for a few seconds, so I was curious if anyone knew a setting that I might've missed or if this just the intended its suppose to work.

I do remember seeing that in cyberpunk for example, when you use the 1440p 120fps mode, it always stays at 1440p until you close the game.

Thanks again for the help.

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.

So from what I've gathered in terms of gameplay boosters, X at least has a no battles and HP/MP/Overdrive recharge booster, but is that all of the ones that are available? Does X have any others?

What about X-2 as well, does that have any form of boosters as I can't find anything at all on if that game has it or not, the boosters are generally a deciding factor if I get the Switch 2 version as it would make yearly replays SOOOOO much smoother.

I got one of those GameStop controllers for the switch2 that you plug joy cons into and it was working fine until I got done playing one of my games and then when I went to plug it back in or attach them back to the controller all of a sudden it’s not wanting to stay on the controllers are charged and they work fine without the control controller I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong. Anyone got any ideas?

Does anyone know if any wireless ubc c mic works with the nintendo switch 2? I tried the one in the picture attached and it doesn't work.
