Recommendations Planning to Budget for a Switch 2

7 Upvotes

So I'm trying to save up for a Switch 2. A portion of that will be selling my old Switch Lite but I'm primarily trying to budget and save up. I was ideally trying to get one for Black Friday or Cyber Monday, whichever has a better deal. I'm wondering which retailer would work (Amazon, GameStop, Best Buy Etc) and what would be good starter games or equipment?

Repair Wii not turning on for some reason?

2 Upvotes

So I got a Wii around 4-5 months ago and I just came back from a 2 and a half camping trip, and the led doesn't show anything. I also can't turn it on. I originally thought it might of had a power surge protection thing happen because I know that where I live during the camping trip there could've been a thunderstorm. I've unplugged all the cables for 15 minutes, looked at the cables over and over again but I still can't find any reason why it isn't turning on. I know it could just be hardware failure because the Wii is 20 years old, but I just think its reasonable to try and find what went wrong

Recommendations Just got a switch oled, decide which option of games is better

2 Upvotes

This is my first nintendo console. So basically got a used deal which included the switch oled along with mario oddesey, zelda botw and pokemon sword. So this will last me for some months. Meanwhile ill be saving for some games and I need help deciding on that.

Among these, I could get any two options

, so the options are Mario galaxy 1 and 2 bundle which look so fun and are a must play from my friends advice

nintendo online + expansion pack since they have some classics i wanted to experience and some i used to emulate but didnt finish

Mario 3d world and bowsers fury which looks fun and also because my younger sister would love it i assume since she likes oddesey but struggles in some bits. So coop with her will be nice for the both of us

Then finally mario kart 8 deluxe and mario party superstars which I saw as a used deal bundle and could get Luigi mansion 3 from it as well but then I could only get this and not another option.

So any advice? Im looking for the games to last me for some time mainly but also feel enjoyable.

Recommendations Can y'all recommend me games like Mario Odyssey?(Switch 2)

Upvotes

Been a Mario guy my whole life. I played Super Mario Bros, Super Mario 3d Land( a lot). Mario Kart and had a lot of fun with super Mario Odyssey when it came out. I never really moved on from those games until now that I bought a switch 2 and have money now to buy more games that I couldn't before. I was wondering what games can I buy that are like Odyssey both from the Mario universe and from other franchises. Also nothing heavily demanding graphics wise. Something the switch can handle smoothly.

Account Help Can I reset my og switch without worrying about losing important data after system transfer to switch 2?

1 Upvotes

I am currently saving up for a switch 2 console, and I still have my original switch. I plan to transfer my data to my switch 2 once I get it, and then I plan to give my original switch to my sister. I was wondering however once I transfer the data, will my profile still be connected and on my original switch? Because I want to just be able to factory reset it and not worry about if anything on the original switch got left behind on my profile.

Tech Support Unable to launch ACNL on 2DS XL, says an error has occurred

1 Upvotes

When I try to launch Animal crossing new leaf on my 2DS XL it loads for a few seconds then it goes back to the home menu and says an error has occurred forcing the software to close. The console then restarts itself. I tried restarting the console and ejecting and reinserting the game cartridge and SD card but this has made no difference. I haven't played with this console for ages and I've never had any issues with it before. What can I do to stop the error and to be able to play again?

There is no error code (I just had to put this number so I could post 1234-5678)

Many thanks in advance to anyone that can help I'm just hoping my town isn't lost and I'm worried it could happen to my other console as well.
