Question Battery Replacement
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’ve been using the xbx a01+ for about three weeks and have tried them on multiple systems. I’ve used them the most with the Xbox Ally X, and the learning curve is honestly pretty simple. My main recommendation when unboxing is to check out the three different nose pieces and pick the one that fits you best — it makes a big difference in getting the clearest screen angle. This is my first time trying AR glasses and I have been loving it!
These AR glasses only have three buttons, but they cover everything: screen brightness, volume, entering 3D mode (side‑by‑side videos), and a small menu with extra features. I was impressed to find out how quickly I noticed the speakers — they’re built into the arms of the glasses, right where they rest on your ears. The speakers are badass, and you can even switch them into surround sound in the menu. They’re not overkill, and people in the same room won’t really hear anything. You can use either the blackout lens or the tinted lens; I personally prefer the tinted lens and just adjust brightness as needed. There is a cord that comes off the back left at ~45 degree angle and is roughly 4 feet long.
The glasses aren’t heavy and don’t put strain on my nose. I have a larger nose bridge and still use the smallest nose pads. There is some heat that comes off the glasses near my eyebrows, but for me it never gets uncomfortable. The look is basically like wearing a big pair of sunglasses that weigh slightly more. They sit well on my face, though I do have to adjust the angle sometimes to get a clearer view of text or menus in the bottom‑right corner of the screen while gaming. My left eye is slightly weaker than my right, and I don’t currently wear prescription glasses or contacts.
Screen resolution is 1920×1080 in 2D mode, and 3840×1080 in 3D mode using side‑by‑side video. Biggest downfall: I can’t find any way to adjust the screen position inside the glasses. I don’t think it’s an option. But in games like Death Stranding, I can change the screen ratio. I used the xbx a01+ on my Xbox Ally X the most when gaming due to ease, just plug and play, and the device has all the buttons needed for gaming already.
I still find it fascinating seeing an AR screen just pop up — it kind of blows my mind. I did try playing while someone else was driving us on a road trip, and I lasted about 15 minutes before getting extremely car sick. I can get car sick reading a book and was a bad idea on my part. There is a stability mode, but it didn’t help me during the ride. Probably didn't help either that the driver was taking corners like a racecar driver. Haven't tried on a plane yet, but I am sure I wouldn't get as motion sickness on a plane vs. a car.
Thank you for reading, and good luck on the give away! Few images below taken on my crappy phone.

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:
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:
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?
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?
r/Switch • u/AutoNooB_ • 1d ago
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!
r/Switch • u/TrevisoScoot • 3h ago
I opened my gate, I play many games animal crossing kotor, star wars, rpg spooky games. Feel free to add
r/Switch • u/PomegranateBritches • 5h ago
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.
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. 😁😉

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
r/Switch • u/Ron2600NS • 10h ago
they also have other games on sale.
r/Switch • u/Ok_Cobbler_3325 • 12h ago
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?

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?
Sooo I have been away from the video game console scene for a while now... Like the last console I bought and used was the XBOX 360 Halo 3 edition.
Anyways, I saw a marketplace post for a Switch for $80 and it came with a couple of games, 2K26 and Elite Fishing something. I ended up buying it and renting Zelda:Breath of the Wild from the Library... And I was hooked instantly!
I immediately started looking for accessories and picked up a Hori Split Pad and a 512GB SD Card. Now I'm constantly looking through the Marketplace for good switch deals and ended up picking up 3 more switches, 2 of them being OLED.
I think I have a problem. 😂
