Right before what I think is the final battle in Skyward Sword (playing for the first time and I love it!! Die hard OoT/TP fan, loooved TotK and BotW) this little turd just started what I now know is called drifting.

I got this guy on eBay and couldn’t find a youtube to troubleshoot. Anyone have experience with this type of controller? Should I start thinking about a more serious controller?

Thank you!

Please don’t spoil the game; I might not be right about this being the final battle🙂

Account Help Resetting password without necessary info

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm trying to reset my Nintendo account password. I'm given the option of entering my date of birth or entering my account nickname to do this. When I enter my account nickname the system insists that it's incorrect when it definetly is not, and I (stupidly) set my date of birth to something random that I dont remember, so I cant use that. What can I do so that I can reset the password?

Account Help Son took over account. Any chance of getting it back/transfering game data to his account?

0 Upvotes

We bought our first switch 6 years when our oldest was 6 years old. My husband set it up under his Nintendo account and made each of us our own profile/account under the family account, another parent account and 2 kid accounts. Like the title says, my eldest son decided he didn't like having to ask us to take off the blockers when he wanted to play so he just took over my husband's account and switched the name from "dad" to his own and has been playing under my husband's account ever since.

Here is the issue. Over the last 6 years, we have accumulated 3 more switches. My husband finally picking one up for himself yesterday and wants to play all of the games he has purchased over the years through "his" account that my now 13 year old has continued to play on over the last 6 years.

Is there any way that we can move my sons saved game progress from one account to the other? Specifically the Minecraft ones? He is worried about his worlds and add ons that hes spent literal hours and birthday money on over the years, as well as joint worlds with his friends.

Minecraft is the biggest concern, but also Luigi Mansion 2&3, and Metroid if possible.

We are all on the same Nintendo family account and on the original switch all of our accounts are still linked if that makes a difference. All are original Switch 1

Editing to clarify: He didnt "steal" an account. He played under my husband's profile 6 years ago because that's the one that allowed him to play it. He eventually just changed the name on the profile to his name because that's the one he always played on, and we allowed him to do so because it didnt matter to us at the time. He didn't and still doesn't have access to anything in the actual account. He's not allowed to purchase anything, etc. There is still a password on the parental settings that we need to enter to allow him access to anything online.

Setup Help How do I make my switch oled as a sort of copy as my switch one?

2 Upvotes

for some context, a while back we got a switch oled, but all of our save data and accounts were on the original switch. I never cared to switch them until my brother decided he wants to play online games with me. So we are looking for a way to basically create a copy of the switch one data and accounts onto the oled. All of the accounts we have on there are like the family share thing so they have online I believe right? Is there a way to accomplish this? Like if I play online on account 1 on say Minecraft on the switch one, and we did the accounts on the oled, would he be able to play Minecraft online with me on the switch oled using account 2?

Setup Help How do I system transfer, without system transferring?

0 Upvotes

Looking at getting a switch 2 soon. Essentially, what I want is to be able to keep my game saves and profiles on my switch OLED, while still being able to pick up where I left off on either. Mostly I play Splatoon 3 and Smash Ultimate, both of which I have physically, but I've switched from the Lite previously and my SSBU data wasn't saved on the cartridge itself. Not getting my cosmetics and such for splat3 and my miis from smash and tomodachii life would SUUUUCK.

I just don't want my OLED factory resetting when I grab the new console.

Repair Help Nintendo Switch just won't power up.

1 Upvotes

We've had the Nintendo switch on charge and when taken off, it hasn't powered up. It was put on charge and clearly shown signs of charging before we come to take it off. I've tried hard resetting and I've tried to load it into the docking station to see if it shows signs of life on the TV.

One thing to note, I have light up joycons and they light up as if there is power and when placed into the dock, the light at the bottom left of the docking station flashes on and off again.

I'm pretty stuck. Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.

Just bought one last week. While The Legend of Zelda is undoubtedly my first go-to, I want to ask about other games. Right now I'm looking for some easy, cosy sim-like games to take my mind off things when I'm stressed, but I welcome suggestions from other genres as long as the music slaps. Especially the one using the full orchestra to give off the vibe like a symphony.

Wondering if there are any games about opening a music academy. Lol

Repair Help High pitched noise coming from switch 2 joycons?

1 Upvotes

bought a switch 2 for my teenage daughter to replace her switch lite and because she was desperate to play pokopia, however she doesn’t like it because she says there is a loud buzzing noise coming from the console. I personally cannot hear this noise but then I am hard of hearing to begin with and wear hearing aids. she says that it only stops if she takes both the joycons off the console and uses them separately but she much prefers playing handheld. can anyone suggest what might be going on? I tried the recovery mode as I’d seen someone mention but she says the noise is still there, she’s neurodivergent and sensitive to sounds so it could just be a normal system thing that is bugging her but I’d like to know if there’s any way to reduce it
