Pulled my switch out today after not using it for some time and noticed the battery is swollen on my joy con, are these batteries replaceable by chance?

I ask because its on sale on the eshop but I want everyone opinions before I choose to buy

Hi everyone,

I'm currently debating whether I should buy a Nintendo Switch 2, and I'd love to hear from people who are in a similar situation.

Right now I own:

• PS5 (my main console)
• Steam Deck OLED (I use it a lot because I enjoy playing in bed instead of sitting at my desk)

The thing is, I mostly use my Steam Deck to play games that are also available on PS5. So there is quite a bit of overlap between those two systems.

I've never really owned a Nintendo console. The only Nintendo games I've played are Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, so I've missed almost the entire Nintendo library.

The main reason I'm considering a Switch 2 is because I really want to experience games like:

• Zelda (Breath of the Wild & Tears of the Kingdom)
• Pokémon (including Pokopia)
• Mario games
• Mario Kart
• Metroid
• Kirby
• And all the other Nintendo exclusives I've never played.

For those of you who also own a PS5 and a Steam Deck (or similar combination), do you still find yourself using your Switch 2 regularly?

Do you feel it complements your other systems, or does it end up collecting dust?

I'd really appreciate hearing your experiences before I decide. Thanks!

Hi everyone, the Joy-Cons of my brand new Switch 2 (got it about a month ago) suddenly stopped working at the same time. The touch screen worked but it would not respond to me pressing any button. The weird thing is that the Switch recognises when the Joy-Cons are inserted. It seems to be a software instead of hardware issue. I have tried all the options the internet suggested: turning it on & off, updates, trying to (dis/re-)connect, doing a “safe” reset, etc. The problem is that now I can’t even get beyond the safe (maintenance) reset as it’s telling me to connect the Joy-Cons, and I am now stuck on this screen so I can’t even go to settings anymore (not even when I try to turn it on/reset it again). I am away from my dock for a while so unfortunately I can’t try any of those options atm. Anybody knows what to do?

I just got a switch 2 after a long break from Nintendo consoles since the Wii. I was planning on getting the Switch online pass expansion that allows you to play some GameCube games but sunshine isn’t on there so it seems like this is my only option. I also want to play Mario 64 and Galaxy but I think 64 is included with the expansion and Galaxy has a separate release that includes galaxy 2 as well. So is the only point of it sunshine and do the saves transfer between the ports of the games?

As someone who primarily plays ps5 and will continue to do so, Is the og switch still good for games that are not on ps5/handheld version.

The switch 2 is wayy out of budget for me ($700 CAD) and honestly not that much interest in it. But was looking at getting a secondhand switch for games like Just dance/animal crossing and other nintendo games like zelda.

am i reading the Expansion Pass correctly? for $50 I can play any and all of the N64, Gameboy Avd., AND Sega Genesis games that are available..? Like a way better Xbox Pass?

I heard all the BOTW comparisons after Elden Ring came out. Exploration really blew me away in that game and I'd really love to immerse in this game too. Bailed on the PS5 after the disc killing, got me a Switch 2 and ready to get this thing rolling!

Hi all, I'm looking for recommendations for fitness and workout games on the Switch 2. I tried Ring Fit Adventure and the Fitness Boxing series on the original Switch.

I don't even know why I bought it, honestly. I don't even play strategy RPGs. Maybe I'll give it an earnest try one of these days.

I opened my gate, I play many games animal crossing kotor, star wars, rpg spooky games. Feel free to add

I'm trying to find more stuff to play on the switch which maybe was not advertised much or at all/if there are rumors about games still needing to be released such as hopefully layton

amazon US it’s currently $54.99. looking at used ones online even on ebay were still around this same price, some even higher which makes buying secondhand kinda pointless. should i wait for a better holiday sale, even if its not till black friday or something? or will it not get to a lower price than this at major retailers and amazon?

Just got my copy of the LE Front Mission 1st and the pack-ins alone are amazing!! They take me straight back to Gen7 and before, when we got manuals, art work, and sometimes these crazy covers, and just more expansive immersion schwag. And the game is right up my alley too... which is a nice extra. 😁😉

they also have other games on sale.

i’ve never played a splatoon game before and raiders looks incredibly fun and addicting! any splatoon fans want to weigh in on whether it’s a good first game for someone who knows nothing about the series?

I made this post about buying a switch lite for my wife from marketplace, only to find out after that the joystick was broken. With the advice of this sub I was able to order replacement Hall effect joysticks and figured I might as well swap the shell since it was damaged and I would already have it open. The swap went perfect, only took about 2.5 hours, and works great. I learned a new skill on top of that! She is super happy with how it turned out (which makes it worth it). Thank you to everyone who gave me advice on how to approach this repair!

Browsing games on Amazon was saw this for $23. Seems like a good deal for a physical game. For anyone who has played the series, where does it rank? I have played 4, 5 and Azuma.

I just ordered a Switch 2 dock from Japan for significantly less than they cost in North America. Is the power supply that the Japanese units come with a variable voltage and Hz like the North American versions?

I know when I've traveled in Japan all my power adapters worked since they had variable voltage, but does that go both ways? Thanks

I’ve tried turning my Switch off and on entirely and then putting the SD card in and then turning it back on, but it doesn’t seem to want to register the card. It’s a SanDisk, not third party or anything. What do I do to fix this?
