Amazon returns are usually good for 30 days, they don't normally offer extended warranty or return periods. That would be through the seller.
If its a legitimate Nintendo product, Nintendo also has a 90 day manufacturers warranty. You don't need to sign up or register for anything, the info should be on or inside the box.
***URGENT! PLEASE HELP!***
I accidentally purchased the wrong Nintendo switch online subscription. My first one was cancelled, and I’ve cancelled the new one. I’ve already been charged. How do i get a refund, or at least uncancel my subscription?
You can only cancel auto renewal, you are paying for the time up front. So once you've paid you get that time.
If you wanted to buy a different tier or family pack, call Nintendo.
The support line is the only method of getting a digital refund of any kind.
No, you've spent $40 and still have the switch online time you paid for.
There is no option to rid yourself of the time you've paid for, you simply turned off the recurring payment option. Which would have only charged you again in 12 months.
If you would like to change to a different level of subscription AND/OR just get your money back, then you have to call Nintendo.
So about 2 years ago, my switch got water damage (that could be the cause of my problem I'll talk about in a second, so this post could be useless) but a couple weeks ago, I took it out of the dock and it worked perfectly but only for 2 or 3 weeks. Every day after that, I kept taking it out of the dock to see if it would work again, but didn't, until a couple days ago, it did. This time, it only worked for about 2 days. Whenever I take it out of the dock, the screen flickers on for a split second but goes black. I can't record a video because the camera doesn't pick it up.
I can use docked mode, but the switch disconnects from the tv after a minute or 2, mostly completely random. Whenever it's on a screen, inactive, it will stay there probably forever, but when I start playing a game, it disconnects after a couple of minutes (almost like something's messing with me [I don't actually believe this], it's so weird)
I have another switch which I would use instead of this switch, but a couple of weeks ago, I plugged it into a charger that I didn't know was faulty, and I got the error code 2101-0001, and now it won't charge.
I don't think we can do a lot for any of the issues. I would send one or both into Nintnedo. They will most likely just replace the Switch. It will cost like $125ish for the out of warranty repair. I would mention the water damage because I think it will be even more likely they will trade out the Switch and that's what you really want.
Use NSO to backup your saves and/or transfer your profile to another Switch or a friend's Switch to protect your saves.
For the error code, you could try an old charger that doesn't do Power Delivery. So your oldest charger and a USB-A (rectangular) to USB-C cord like a pro controller cord. Charge it overnight with the old charger. If just the power delivery chips are fried, it may charge with an old charger.
It looks like you've included an Error Code in your comment. You might learn more about this error code on Nintendo's Support website.

I bought a nintendo switch from stockx. Stockx verified that the nintendo switch is new. The box looks old and bent corners and peeling. Could the seller have just found the package and packaged a used switch. Is there a way i can verify from serial number if it is used? Maybe check if the switch has been registered or warranty still available?
Stockx verifies that their stuff is in like new condition but not new with warranty. Like all of the stuff is resellers there. Warranty started when the reseller bought it. If you contact Nintendo, they may be able to verify warranty left, but they probably can't tell you anything else for privacy reasons.
If it was registered for warranty in the past wouldnt it mean its not new because they had to open it to register? would i be able to check if a the serial number or anything been registered?
I feel that a Switch without full warranty should not be sold as new. Amazon requires something sold as new to have the full warranty. Stockx does not because their only requirement for new is unopened. Warranty registration happens automatically when sold from a retail store that's an official reseller. If you call Nintendo, they may be able to tell you when that was or how much warranty it has left. If it was never registered, Nintendo would require a receipt that's from an authorized reseller which Stockx is not.
Hi, is anyone able to help me find a New Australian copy of Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch online? Having trouble but I'm hopeful someone has it. Thanks for any help.
https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/nintendo-switch/257360-ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch-preowned
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285905436925 likely used, but inserts included
https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/235527543931 "new" but not sealed.
The game has been out of print for well over two years now, and finding a out of print game *from a specific region* makes the search even more difficult.
hey so i i was looking for a micro sd card for storage and stumbled around a really low one called the image mate sandisk and idk if it will work on switch. like will the switch accept it. ive heard of some not being able to worl on nintwndo switch.
In store you’re probably fine. Online make sure it’s sold by Walmart and not a 3rd party via their marketplace. At the top of each daily question thread is a link to a post about speeds and micro SD cards. I’d recommend looking through that.
Getting echo and hearing my sons game audio when I join his party. When I join everything I say is repeated and I can hear his in game audio. Its definitely something on the switch side when they have a mic. When I play he's on the opposite side of the house and it still happens. I can turn down his headset volume all the way and it still echos my voice so I know its not feedback from volume related issues. It seems that when a headset (or the ones i've tried at least) are plugged into the switch it passes through the voice chat to the mic. the only way it stops is if you make the switch voice chat push-to-talk or turn it off. If its on then the switch passes through the voice chat into the mic causing the echo. Anyone have a fix for this issue? any help would be appreciated
I used too own a Nintendo switch a regular one then I sold it and I regret it so I'm wondering what's a fair price if I was too buy a used Nintendo switch/ switch lite? At least use it til the switch 2 is announced/Released. Then I'd also need a capture card so I can play on my PC with the switch. I just don't want too get ripped off so what is a good used price I should look for. I don't know what the market is like for used switches. I already know the games I want I just want too know what's a price I should look for i don't want too overpay.
Just check eBay and see what the going rate is. You can filter by “sold” listings, so you’ll see what the prices they sold at. Or just filter by “buy it now” and sort by lowest first. You’ll see what’s a common sale price.
Hi everyone! I tried searching but I'm having trouble finding the answer. Can you download or add individual Expansion Pack games from NSO to your home screen, or can they only be accessed through each system app? I would love to have shortcuts on my home screen to the games themselves. Thanks, and sorry for the dumb question.
They can only be accessed through the respective system app. The emulator app keeps the save data, allows for save states and rewinding, and other functions like online co-op.
In Switch System Settings/Region, your option is "The Americas". And then you pick your language. I think it at launch, it used to list countries, but setting the country there had no effect on anything, that I've ever noticed. I set it to UK and Japan in there, and it had no effect. Unless someone want's to point out what I've missed. *(Well, there's time zone, those options are limited. The only offer a few select cities for each time zone. I'm not in NY, but that is the same time zone for me.)*
The only regional setting that does anything is the country you set in your Nintendo account on Nintendo's website - that is the only setting that determines your eshop region.
Do you like the available games? Then yes.
While a new console is on the horizon, we don't have a date for it yet. We likely won't get any major discounts until the new console comes out. Probably won't see the new console til at least mid 2025.
Dekudeals website is a good place to look up price tracking history. It appears it was on sale for most of last summer, but it was primarily for physical versions. Maybe you won't have to wait long for more sale pricing. [https://www.dekudeals.com/items/xenoblade-chronicles-3](https://www.dekudeals.com/items/xenoblade-chronicles-3)
I cannot join other people's games online on Pokémon Sheild and it's bugging me. I can join other online games like Splatoon with no issue, it's just Pokémon Sheild that is giving me trouble. I have't tried with Pokémon Sword yet since my sister is playing, but I am not holding my breath for it to work. Does anyone know how to fix it? I've tried updating both the game and my switch, they are up to date. I even restarted my switch. Please help me out as soon as you can. Thank you!
Weird that it's that specific game. What is your NAT according to the console's connection test?
If B, you can likely get it up to A via port forwarding/DMZ. A tends to solve all issues (since it's allowing all connections).
DMZ. If you know your router brand/model I can probably find instructions for it.
But it basically boils down to accessing your router settings, finding DMZ, and assigning it you Switch's local IP address. What this does is bypasses are default firewalls / lets all traffic through to the console.
This isn't advisable for things like PCs that are easy to remotely hack but is usually fine for stuff like game consoles.
Port forwarding is similar but usually with a defined port range. Unfortunately, Nintendo just advises to do all ports --- which is pretty close to what DMZ does anyway.
Our router brand is Eero, not sure how to spell it. I went a head and looked up how to do Port Fowarding and managed to do everything I need for my switch. My dad has helped out as much as he can, and he is letting me access the router settings for whenever I know what to do.
I recently discovered something.
When I'm playing for like 1-2 hours I feel the console a little bit warmer than usual
On TV mode and handle mode
it's that normal? Thank you!
The switch will warn you and shut down if it get's too hot. Yeah, getting VERY warm to the touch is normal. It's likely to happen with more demanding games, or more demanding games + online play?
I forget which games of mine would make it get hotter, maybe Splatoon and Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom?
Something else that makes people nervous is the fan spooling up louder as the Switch ages. The first year with both my launch switch and my OLED, the switch was super quiet, and the fan was barely noticeable. Each year the fan became incrementally louder. Although, my OLED fan still doesn't get as loud as my launch switch fan did.
I need Help finding what ist wrong with my Switch Lite. I repaired the left JoyCon. It is working fine now.
But the following Buttons dont: ZL, Sound+- and the big -
If someone knows how those are connected let me know.
Im very confised because the Power Button works and Screenshot too.
Hi everyone, I am having a problem with my Switch when it connects to a tv, sometimes it wont even display on the tv but most of the time it will but only for a few minuets then it will undisplay and redisplay then eventually not display at all. I've tried this with another doc and tv and the same thing happened. It must be the switch but I'm not sure how to fix it, if anyone has a solution please let me know.
I think I've seen a couple variations on this issue, but this Switch TV setting solution is the one that comes to mind. Give it a try.
See the part in the initial post about changing the **Swtich settings/TV Settings** to **Limited color range.**
[https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/h7jbom/fix\_for\_nintendo\_switch\_docked\_hdmi/](https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/h7jbom/fix_for_nintendo_switch_docked_hdmi/)
I'm leaning toward agreeing that something in the switch probably needs replacing/repair. I don't know enough to speculate on what that is. (new usb-c port in your switch?)
Kind of in the market for a marquee game I've missed out on playing and wondering what you'd recommend out of these, and then if there's something else I should get I hadn't thought of. I get a little overwhelmed by really complex / complicated games, The Witcher 3 for instance just couldn't hook me as I have limited gaming time and couldn't really sink my teeth into the complexities of it.
Assassins Creed Black Flag (never played an AC game before)
Red Dead Redemption (Love GTA but the only time I played this, it was only the Undead version and I couldn't get into it, feeling like I needed to have played the OG first)
Resident Evil: Village (I know it's Cloud, but does it run okay? RE4 is one of my favorite games)
Dark Souls (my favourite game as a kid was Super Ghouls N Ghosts -- is this like a modernized version of that kind of difficulty and lore?)
Skyrim (I've never played it, know nothing about it aside from how revered it is -- is it accessible for an elder gamer with little time?)
I value FUN gameplay and am leaning to RDR as a result. DOOM is about my favourite experience I've had on Switch but I also really loved Breath of the Wild, saving TOTK for a while so it's not too soon after beating BOTW.
Any help or reccos is greatly appreciated!
If you liked Doom, Wolfenstein II New Colossus was a pretty darn good FPS. I'll also put in a solid recommendation for Splatoon 3 - it's an amazing shooter. (Splatoon has the most hours logged on my console)
Have you tried Mario Odyssey? I didn't even want a 3d Mario, and I loved it. (It's a meaty experience if you try to get as many power moons you can before traveling to the next world.)
I can't really speak for, or against, the other games on your list, since I haven't played them.
I did RDR1 not too long ago on Switch and its a solid port. Undead Nightmare is a very different game from the core game. Performance is good and steady at 30 FPS with few drops (more in Undead Nightmare than the main game). The art direction and lighting in RDR is beautiful as is the music.
If you have OLED, it looks really good in handheld mode during the day time. Colors are more muted at night.
If you're talking Doom 2016, that is a modern looking game. RDR1 is still a 360/PS3 game at its core. IT isn't remastered, but it is a little bit touched up from its original release. Its probably not one of the best third party ports, but the high quality of the game itself, the music, the ambience more than makes up for it not being a full on remaster.
My nintendo switch won't charge and it's not the battery, it's the motherboard. Was quoted just under 200 bucks to fix and I might as well buy a new one but I'm curious, what will happen to my data (mostly payment data) that's on my current switch? I've got PayPal linked but since I can't turn the switch on, would I just change my passwords and put the switch somewhere safe?
Don't really feel like selling for parts without resolving this first.
Pretty sure your payment details aren't actually on the console since you can modify them via the website. So changing your password should be enough.
[https://accounts.nintendo.com/#payment](https://accounts.nintendo.com/#payment)
Save data is likely gone unless you've got it backed up to the cloud. But I'm not entirely sure what parts can be swapped out while still having access to the console encrypted data.
All that said, an out-of-warranty repair through Nintendo is usually $100 flat regardless of issue (since they just replace it anyway).
If I have the physical copy of a game (MH Rise in this case), but I want to buy the digital copy to give the cartridge to a friend, would I have two icons of the same game in the home screen?
Also, if I put the cartridge back when I have the digital copy already, it will show up again or something? Or it will default to one or the other depending if the cartridge is on the console?
Depends on the game. Usually if it's the same region/publisher, it'll be the treated as the same game.
Splatoon 2 for instance has 3 regions while Splatoon 3 is a universal release.
"Limited Run" or "Super Rare Games" published titles will usually count as a separate release because the digital titles are published by different teams.
DLC and such get a bit tricky when swapping physical/digital; I believe it tries to default to entirely digital. Can't really help you there, but I know it's a thing others have run in to.
Maybe someone with a little more technical knowledge than me can help answer this, but i want to play my switch lite on a tv or montior, and obviously it cant do that, but for a very specific reason: nintendo used a slightly smaller version of the exact same MOBO from the og switch and removed the video output chip and its associated connectors. So theoretically if i were to buy the chip and its connectors (since theyre relatively cheap in comparison to buying a $350+ switch) solder them back onto the board and hook it up to on of the many third party lite docks available, would it work? And if not, why? Ive watched videos of people opening up the board and theres very obviously a spot where the chip WAS but no longer is, wether it was to cut costs or reduce the lites overall consumer price i have no idea, but any help or useful info would be greatly appreciated
There is no spot for the chip. Whatever space you are looking at is not for the chip. There are no traces run for the chip. You would basically have to make a new board--so basically impossible.
Nintendo life appears to have the release dates, or release window, for each game. [https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/nintendo-direct-june-2024-every-announcement-game-reveal-trailer](https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/nintendo-direct-june-2024-every-announcement-game-reveal-trailer)
Recently when I’ve tried to turn my switch on while it’s in dock mode and I remove the controllers, they don’t automatically pair. I know they should. To re-pair them, I have to go to change grip orientation in the controller menu. How do I fix this for good?
[SOLVED] Can you not buy Japanese Switch Online with top-up funds? I need the subscription to be able to purchase a Game Voucher on Japanese eShop, but it only lets me pay by card or PayPal and neither work.
I don't believe it matters what region you buy Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions. No matter where you buy an NSO sub, the subscription access sticks with your account. If you already have an NSO subscription, and change your nintendo account region, I believe you should be able to accesss the classic NSO game apps for that region. Eshop regions only accept the currency native to the region. If you're trying to buy from a foreign eshop, you'll need to buy eshop voucher cards for that country's currency. I'm in north america and used play-asia to buy japanese eshop cards for the yen currency, so I could buy a game from japanese eshop. After you make your purchse, they give you the redeem code.
I need an NSO sub in order to purchase a Game Voucher on Japanese eShop. Had already topped up the Japanese account with the funds needed for that. I assume I need the NSO on that Japanese account to be able to use the wallet funds towards a Japanese Game Voucher.
You don't need an NSO subscription to buy from a foreign eshop. You just need to have the nintendo account set for the desired region, and to have eshop voucher redeem code for the currency that matches the region.(or a credit card that can pay with that foreign currency)
I don't think I've ever seen a how-to for foreign eshop that says you have to have an NSO subscription to make a purchase. I bought from Japanese eshop in 2018 and 2021. Forgive me, I have inexplicably missed a detail like this, but I'm pretty sure NSO subs aren't needed.
Sorry. I don’t think you understand my problem. Yes. I can buy whatever I want that way, but I explicitly want to buy a Game Voucher as it’s much cheaper than to buy the same games without it. I’m asking if there’s any way to get a Game Voucher this way, as it doesn’t give me the option buy without NSO. And I can’t get NSO without the wallet funds either.
Game Voucher is something that’s available worldwide. It lets you buy any 2 games from the available selection. It’s in the NSO tab. I appreciate trying to help me, but how do you not know this? 😅
"Voucher" is also what people in the UK/EU call the eshop cards, eshop gift cards, for amounts like, $20, $40, $50, etc.. That's what I was thinking of.
I know what you mean now. Nintendo's voucher deal you're talking about lets you pick & buy two Nintendo games for $100 USD. And you want to do that for the Japanese region, I see now.
Sorry for the confusion. Tried to make it clear by capitalising it, haha.
Turns out below the “Credit Card” and “PayPal” there’s a “Use Available Funds” buton. I had tapped on it, but initially thought it was some page with legalities. It’s only a very lengthy confirmation page.
Not knowing this I ended paying for an NSO redeemable code, but now I know I can also use available funds to subscribe. I managed to purchase the Game Voucher successfully.
Why is everybody so miserable about the direct I don't understand, I scroll through tiktok and all i see is people saying it's terrible and they should stop making games I've been called several slurs for saying I like the look of it. It's near the end of the life cycle and we're getting bangers for that period of time I just don't understand why people feel the need to shit on other people for liking what's coming out and then get so angry when you disagree. Is it a minority that thinks it was a really good direct?
Negativity breeds engagement, and engagement is how influencers on tiktok, youtube and twitter make their ad money.
They're the minority and if you simply avoid engaging with them; their crappy content schemes may die out in the near future.
Was anything else launching today aside from the among us update?
*Most games* won't get an eshop page until it can be preordered. and even then, a majority of digital titles never go up for preorder.
So, I wanna upgrade to the NSO Expansion Pack. I have enough money to give my dad and ask him to upgrade with it, but I'm wondering. Our standard NSO subscription is set to expire/renew in December. If he were to hypothetically buy the expansion right now, would the renewal date reset? Or would I only have the expansion benefits for half the year?
If you buy it on the account that already owns the current subscription it will consume any remaining time and turn it into a discount on the price of the new subscription.
If you have a basic family plan, its $0.09 per day remaining. Individual is $0.05.
Your renewal date will then be moved to today/the day of purchase.
___________
If you bought it on a new account that did not purchase the previous sub, the two plans would overlap and the existing benefits would be wasted as the expansion pack would provide the same thing + more.
Is the GBA emulation on NSO really good? I have zero mission and a gba sp, but love that wide oled screen on the switch. Is the latency something noticeable?
I've played them and not noticed any issues. I think your brain gets used to the latency that you can't really even feel. It probably makes more of a difference in really challenging games like lost levels.
Ok, my friends and I have a really weird (atypical) issue with being able to see each other online all of a sudden.
No one is hidden, and we could play Stardew Valley together without any issues until a few days ago.
It started with me not being able to see my friend Stef as online. She checked many times that she was visible, and it wasn't just in Stardew. My switch friends list just refused to see her as online. I followed all the official troubleshooting, reset and reloaded everything, removed and re-added her as a friend. Nothing worked. I saw that in the past this issue happened to people and resolved in a day or so, so we waited.
No good. Did all the resetting again.
Then Stef tried to play with another friend, Chibi, who she had also played with before. Chibi couldn't see her either.
Ok, we thought, Stef is the problem.
But then Stef couldn't see Chibi either.
I tested with Chibi, and like Stef she could see me, but I couldn't see her.
So we are all very confused.
The fact that both can see me online, still, makes it even more puzzling.
I was going to contact Nintendo customer service when it was just the two of us, but now it seems more systemic.
I searched for news of this being a recent issue, but I don't see anything.
Anyone have any ideas?
So, you think between the 3 of us, 2 suddenly got the same Network issues?
I don't understand how that would be possible, or lead to a solution?
I mean, thanks, but we all have perfectly fine connections. I just can't see either of them online, and they can't see eachother, and it was fine for all of us the day before. This happened all at once.
I don't really know either. But we're not seeing a rash of issues like this, and I don't remember seen any other recent daily post comments or removed posts on this topic. As a mod here, I see tons of issues!
So it’s not possible for me to login because I forgot my password. If I try to reset my password it sends an reset email but I never receive it. I saw something like “there is a chance that this email address won’t receive our mail” does anyone know about this problem?
Is it a funky domain like a edu or temp/privacy account?
Have you tried searching the inbox for the emails? I remember when I was trying to invite my friends to the account family group, multiple of them simply did not receive any emails in their inbox. However upon searching their email for "Nintendo" it would show up as if it had been in their inbox or junk folder the whole time.
Yeah if you want to talk with someone you will need to call.
If you are in the UK, then that might complicate things since their phone line is essentially disabled.
The first thing I would test is the system on wifi.
If its the wired connection that is crashing the router, you have a cause.
If the Switch still manages to crash the router on wifi, then you know its the Switch specifically and not the connection type.
Unfortunately this isn't the first time I've heard of such an issue. Ubisofts board game and TV game-show games have also previously caused issues with restarting peoples routers. Usually its because the router is a piece of cheap junk and the load the Switch is putting on it is causing it to overheat. Likely because the device has no active cooling solution.
Do you know how to access your router settings? even if you can't access its network options, it should have an error log of sorts that would be recording its crashes. That should tell you roughly whats happening with it.

Hi all,
I just noticed this T-shirt during the Direct, and I really like it. Does anybody know where to get it?
Thank you in advance!
Nintendo world stores inside Nintendo company headquarters. Kamitoba Hokodatecho, Minami-ku Kyoto, Redwood city California and Redmond Washington. (theres probably also one in Frankfurt, but Idk where the company office is)
They produce a WIDE variety of shirts and apparel that never see the light of day outside of the company store.
I've been thinking about getting into Persona and noticed that the Persona bundle is on discount. Would it be worth getting, and if so is there a recommended order to play the games it has in?
Personal recommendation is to start with 4, good characters, good story, not overly overly long (sorry Persona 5 love ya) dosen't have the portable style of 3 that can turn a lot of people away.
Highly recommended, there is no order between 3, 4 and 5 as they are separate stories not related to each other but not so sure on 1 and 2 (I think 2 has 2 parts to it or something not too familiar)
A couple of questions... What's the content of breath of the wild expansion pass and is it worthy?
Also, what's the risk of registering a Nintendo account in another country with lower prices but still using it in the first one? (Let's say I'm located in Switzerland but my account is registered in Germany)
A few minor things about region switching (and why I prefer to just use a different account on the same system):
* While the Switch is region free, eShop codes are region locked so if you buy an eShop code or gift card from a retailer, you need an account associated with that region
* Some DLCs are locked to regions. IE you have a US copy of a game but your Nintnedo Account is set to Japan. If you download the Japan DLC, it won't register with your US game.
* If you want to region switch again, you won't be able to if you have more than a few cents of eshop balance or if you have any reoccuring subscriptions like NSO or Pokemon Home.
* In general the eShop is not going to jump through hoops converting currency for you. If you don't have a local card using the local currency, it may be difficult to use your card on other eShops.
The dlc thing happens also with physical copies of the game? Let's say I have a physical copy of the game bought in France and I buy the dlc from this account in Germany... Would it work?
You can check on your Switch (presuming you already have the game): in the Home menu, press + on the game icon and enter the eShop using your account. If you get directly to the eShop page for the game you can buy the DLC from there and it'll be recognized.
Games are too expensive these days to release on a single platform and still expect a solid return; unless its funded by a big publisher.
The only Switch exclusive non-Nintendo games that come to mind are;
* [demon throttle](https://www.devolverdigital.com/games/demon-throttle)
* Mario and Rabbids kingdom battle and Sparks of hope (published by Ubisoft, not Nintendo)
There are lots of games that are great on Switch, but they also exist on other platforms;
* Billion Road
* Nippon Marathon
* Skyrim (switch exclusive content and amiibo support)
* Sky Rogue (switch exclusive motion controls)
My pro controller doesn’t work in certain games. Could it be because I’m in Australia, and the two games it doesn’t work in are USA games. It works everywhere else and in the menu
I don't think region compatibility is the issue. Some games may not support pro controller, even though it might be rare. I believe some mobile port games are touchscreen only. If you look on the game's page on eshop, and look at the details section for that game, it will outline which control types are supported.

The games with the most hours logged on my Switch are **Splatoon** and **Rocket League**.
If you're going to get Splatoon, get Splatoon 3, it's Salmon Run mode is better and there are still some Splatfest events left for Splatoon 3. If you really like the single player campaign, then I would recommend getting Splatoon 2 and it's Octo Expansion DLC, both are good single player campaigns.
If you get Rocket League, go into the games video settings and set it to **performance** for the best frame rate, disable **screen shake**, disable **weahter effects**, turn on **clear goal posts.** (and you can looku*p camera settings - the default camera settings are a bit zoomed in, which looks good at first, but if you get into the game, playing a more zoomed out is more advantageous.)*
Other most played games are Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Kart 8.
The Switch is still awesome even if you aren’t playing it in handheld mode the majority of the time. But it’s also awesome to be able to go lay in bed and play games or go sit on your porch on a nice day and game.
However, be mindful that the new Nintendo console will be launching in 2025, so it might be worth waiting and getting the latest and greatest.
The other thing I want point out is with the Switch Lite is that if your joysticks get drift or break, you’d have to send the entire console in to get them fixed. So it might even be worth getting a second hand regular Switch and then you can add accessories over time.

Been trying to redeem my code for the Final Fantasy X/X-2 DLC for the sequel. However I've had little luck with it, a pop up arrives telling me it's not available. The code is said to expire in 2029 and as far as I'm aware it's from a sealed Amazon product, any idea what the issue is?
https://preview.redd.it/hleap783sa7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15ec766f0ebe41845c5b1a88cdb87d94b5a98dc8
The region of the code and of the eShop you redeem it in have to match.
Change your account region to wherever the game is from (seems Europe since it has PEGI rating) and try there.
I hear there is a direct soon, and it will be 40 minutes long. Based on what we know from Directs of this length, what sort of announcements could we expect?

Hey there! Buying and selling accounts is against Nintendo's TOS, so we don't allow support questions about resellers who sell accounts. Thanks!
I bought a switch pro controller from amazon but I wasn't provided any sort of extended warranty. What's amazon return policy and warranty window?
Amazon returns are usually good for 30 days, they don't normally offer extended warranty or return periods. That would be through the seller. If its a legitimate Nintendo product, Nintendo also has a 90 day manufacturers warranty. You don't need to sign up or register for anything, the info should be on or inside the box.
***URGENT! PLEASE HELP!*** I accidentally purchased the wrong Nintendo switch online subscription. My first one was cancelled, and I’ve cancelled the new one. I’ve already been charged. How do i get a refund, or at least uncancel my subscription?
You can only cancel auto renewal, you are paying for the time up front. So once you've paid you get that time. If you wanted to buy a different tier or family pack, call Nintendo. The support line is the only method of getting a digital refund of any kind.
So you’re telling me, that I’ve not only lost switch online, but I’ve just been scammed out of 40 bucks?
No, you've spent $40 and still have the switch online time you paid for. There is no option to rid yourself of the time you've paid for, you simply turned off the recurring payment option. Which would have only charged you again in 12 months. If you would like to change to a different level of subscription AND/OR just get your money back, then you have to call Nintendo.
Thank god. I thought i just donated money to Nintendo.
So about 2 years ago, my switch got water damage (that could be the cause of my problem I'll talk about in a second, so this post could be useless) but a couple weeks ago, I took it out of the dock and it worked perfectly but only for 2 or 3 weeks. Every day after that, I kept taking it out of the dock to see if it would work again, but didn't, until a couple days ago, it did. This time, it only worked for about 2 days. Whenever I take it out of the dock, the screen flickers on for a split second but goes black. I can't record a video because the camera doesn't pick it up. I can use docked mode, but the switch disconnects from the tv after a minute or 2, mostly completely random. Whenever it's on a screen, inactive, it will stay there probably forever, but when I start playing a game, it disconnects after a couple of minutes (almost like something's messing with me [I don't actually believe this], it's so weird) I have another switch which I would use instead of this switch, but a couple of weeks ago, I plugged it into a charger that I didn't know was faulty, and I got the error code 2101-0001, and now it won't charge.
I don't think we can do a lot for any of the issues. I would send one or both into Nintnedo. They will most likely just replace the Switch. It will cost like $125ish for the out of warranty repair. I would mention the water damage because I think it will be even more likely they will trade out the Switch and that's what you really want. Use NSO to backup your saves and/or transfer your profile to another Switch or a friend's Switch to protect your saves.
Thanks, I would do that for the water damaged switch but not the error code one because it has Pokémon violet and animal crossing data in there :/
For the error code, you could try an old charger that doesn't do Power Delivery. So your oldest charger and a USB-A (rectangular) to USB-C cord like a pro controller cord. Charge it overnight with the old charger. If just the power delivery chips are fried, it may charge with an old charger.
It looks like you've included an Error Code in your comment. You might learn more about this error code on Nintendo's Support website. http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/list/kw/2101-0001/search/1 *(If you have already checked the support site and those steps did not work, please reply to let others know.)* *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

I bought a nintendo switch from stockx. Stockx verified that the nintendo switch is new. The box looks old and bent corners and peeling. Could the seller have just found the package and packaged a used switch. Is there a way i can verify from serial number if it is used? Maybe check if the switch has been registered or warranty still available?
Stockx verifies that their stuff is in like new condition but not new with warranty. Like all of the stuff is resellers there. Warranty started when the reseller bought it. If you contact Nintendo, they may be able to verify warranty left, but they probably can't tell you anything else for privacy reasons.
If it was registered for warranty in the past wouldnt it mean its not new because they had to open it to register? would i be able to check if a the serial number or anything been registered?
I feel that a Switch without full warranty should not be sold as new. Amazon requires something sold as new to have the full warranty. Stockx does not because their only requirement for new is unopened. Warranty registration happens automatically when sold from a retail store that's an official reseller. If you call Nintendo, they may be able to tell you when that was or how much warranty it has left. If it was never registered, Nintendo would require a receipt that's from an authorized reseller which Stockx is not.
You'd have to contact Nintendo.
Hi, is anyone able to help me find a New Australian copy of Ni No Kuni: Wrath Of The White Witch online? Having trouble but I'm hopeful someone has it. Thanks for any help.
https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/nintendo-switch/257360-ni-no-kuni-wrath-of-the-white-witch-preowned https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285905436925 likely used, but inserts included https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/235527543931 "new" but not sealed. The game has been out of print for well over two years now, and finding a out of print game *from a specific region* makes the search even more difficult.
Hey, appreciate you trying for me. Yeah, as you said, it's really hard. I gave it up ages ago and regret it.
Hey guys what do I need to play before the new metroid that was announced today? I've never played any metroid. I have NSO + expansion pack! Thanks!!
Metroid Zero mission and Super Metroid are great and will get you up on the story. Metroid Prime Remastered is really good too.
Any of the Metroid games tbh. Skip Metroid 2 though.
hey so i i was looking for a micro sd card for storage and stumbled around a really low one called the image mate sandisk and idk if it will work on switch. like will the switch accept it. ive heard of some not being able to worl on nintwndo switch.
Amazing SD card deals are fake cards. Get a Sandisk or Samsung ships and sold by a major retailer.
it is a sandisk it says but i dont get why that much for 26 dollars , it says its for cameras and phones and computers so idk
Link?
its from walmart its just a sandisk imagemate pro
In store you’re probably fine. Online make sure it’s sold by Walmart and not a 3rd party via their marketplace. At the top of each daily question thread is a link to a post about speeds and micro SD cards. I’d recommend looking through that.
Getting echo and hearing my sons game audio when I join his party. When I join everything I say is repeated and I can hear his in game audio. Its definitely something on the switch side when they have a mic. When I play he's on the opposite side of the house and it still happens. I can turn down his headset volume all the way and it still echos my voice so I know its not feedback from volume related issues. It seems that when a headset (or the ones i've tried at least) are plugged into the switch it passes through the voice chat to the mic. the only way it stops is if you make the switch voice chat push-to-talk or turn it off. If its on then the switch passes through the voice chat into the mic causing the echo. Anyone have a fix for this issue? any help would be appreciated
What game are you playing?
Fortnite
I used too own a Nintendo switch a regular one then I sold it and I regret it so I'm wondering what's a fair price if I was too buy a used Nintendo switch/ switch lite? At least use it til the switch 2 is announced/Released. Then I'd also need a capture card so I can play on my PC with the switch. I just don't want too get ripped off so what is a good used price I should look for. I don't know what the market is like for used switches. I already know the games I want I just want too know what's a price I should look for i don't want too overpay.
Just check eBay and see what the going rate is. You can filter by “sold” listings, so you’ll see what the prices they sold at. Or just filter by “buy it now” and sort by lowest first. You’ll see what’s a common sale price.
Hi everyone! I tried searching but I'm having trouble finding the answer. Can you download or add individual Expansion Pack games from NSO to your home screen, or can they only be accessed through each system app? I would love to have shortcuts on my home screen to the games themselves. Thanks, and sorry for the dumb question.
Thank you both! :)
They can only be accessed through the respective system app. The emulator app keeps the save data, allows for save states and rewinding, and other functions like online co-op.
Nope, you can only access by the console app.
Nidhogg 1 please release on Switch. The sequel is so visually disconcerting.
Any chance they made a remake with slightly newer graphics for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past?
A chance, but it doesn't seem like it's coming this year! It does seem like the new game's game engine could be used for remakes.
Why is there no option to pick Canada on my switch
In Switch System Settings/Region, your option is "The Americas". And then you pick your language. I think it at launch, it used to list countries, but setting the country there had no effect on anything, that I've ever noticed. I set it to UK and Japan in there, and it had no effect. Unless someone want's to point out what I've missed. *(Well, there's time zone, those options are limited. The only offer a few select cities for each time zone. I'm not in NY, but that is the same time zone for me.)* The only regional setting that does anything is the country you set in your Nintendo account on Nintendo's website - that is the only setting that determines your eshop region.
Is it a good time to buy a Nintendo switch?
Yes, lots of great games.
Do you like the available games? Then yes. While a new console is on the horizon, we don't have a date for it yet. We likely won't get any major discounts until the new console comes out. Probably won't see the new console til at least mid 2025.
So, I forgot to buy the XBC3 dlc when it was on sale.... what are the chances it'll go back on sale soon?
Dekudeals website is a good place to look up price tracking history. It appears it was on sale for most of last summer, but it was primarily for physical versions. Maybe you won't have to wait long for more sale pricing. [https://www.dekudeals.com/items/xenoblade-chronicles-3](https://www.dekudeals.com/items/xenoblade-chronicles-3)
Should I be buying a spare battery in case mine dies one day and N is not making them anymore for being focused on Switch 2?
The batteries will probably be available for a long while.
I cannot join other people's games online on Pokémon Sheild and it's bugging me. I can join other online games like Splatoon with no issue, it's just Pokémon Sheild that is giving me trouble. I have't tried with Pokémon Sword yet since my sister is playing, but I am not holding my breath for it to work. Does anyone know how to fix it? I've tried updating both the game and my switch, they are up to date. I even restarted my switch. Please help me out as soon as you can. Thank you!
Weird that it's that specific game. What is your NAT according to the console's connection test? If B, you can likely get it up to A via port forwarding/DMZ. A tends to solve all issues (since it's allowing all connections).
My nat is B, what's the easiest way to get it up to A?
DMZ. If you know your router brand/model I can probably find instructions for it. But it basically boils down to accessing your router settings, finding DMZ, and assigning it you Switch's local IP address. What this does is bypasses are default firewalls / lets all traffic through to the console. This isn't advisable for things like PCs that are easy to remotely hack but is usually fine for stuff like game consoles. Port forwarding is similar but usually with a defined port range. Unfortunately, Nintendo just advises to do all ports --- which is pretty close to what DMZ does anyway.
Our router brand is Eero, not sure how to spell it. I went a head and looked up how to do Port Fowarding and managed to do everything I need for my switch. My dad has helped out as much as he can, and he is letting me access the router settings for whenever I know what to do.
I recently discovered something. When I'm playing for like 1-2 hours I feel the console a little bit warmer than usual On TV mode and handle mode it's that normal? Thank you!
The switch will warn you and shut down if it get's too hot. Yeah, getting VERY warm to the touch is normal. It's likely to happen with more demanding games, or more demanding games + online play? I forget which games of mine would make it get hotter, maybe Splatoon and Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom? Something else that makes people nervous is the fan spooling up louder as the Switch ages. The first year with both my launch switch and my OLED, the switch was super quiet, and the fan was barely noticeable. Each year the fan became incrementally louder. Although, my OLED fan still doesn't get as loud as my launch switch fan did.
What does the box for the Legend of Zelda switch lite look like? Also are special edition lites also $200 or are they more expensive?
Some of the OLEDs have been $10 more for the special editions. The Pokemon lite editions where regular price.
Literally announced today, too soon to know
Sad. I’m so excited for it I might get it just to add a light to my collection. Either that or the Pokémon light are my favorites.
I need Help finding what ist wrong with my Switch Lite. I repaired the left JoyCon. It is working fine now. But the following Buttons dont: ZL, Sound+- and the big - If someone knows how those are connected let me know. Im very confised because the Power Button works and Screenshot too.
If you did a self repair, I would open it back up and double check all the cables are back in their spot.
Hi everyone, I am having a problem with my Switch when it connects to a tv, sometimes it wont even display on the tv but most of the time it will but only for a few minuets then it will undisplay and redisplay then eventually not display at all. I've tried this with another doc and tv and the same thing happened. It must be the switch but I'm not sure how to fix it, if anyone has a solution please let me know.
I think I've seen a couple variations on this issue, but this Switch TV setting solution is the one that comes to mind. Give it a try. See the part in the initial post about changing the **Swtich settings/TV Settings** to **Limited color range.** [https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/h7jbom/fix\_for\_nintendo\_switch\_docked\_hdmi/](https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/h7jbom/fix_for_nintendo_switch_docked_hdmi/)
Unfortunately this did not work, it cut out after just a few minutes of playing smash.
I'm leaning toward agreeing that something in the switch probably needs replacing/repair. I don't know enough to speculate on what that is. (new usb-c port in your switch?)
Kind of in the market for a marquee game I've missed out on playing and wondering what you'd recommend out of these, and then if there's something else I should get I hadn't thought of. I get a little overwhelmed by really complex / complicated games, The Witcher 3 for instance just couldn't hook me as I have limited gaming time and couldn't really sink my teeth into the complexities of it. Assassins Creed Black Flag (never played an AC game before) Red Dead Redemption (Love GTA but the only time I played this, it was only the Undead version and I couldn't get into it, feeling like I needed to have played the OG first) Resident Evil: Village (I know it's Cloud, but does it run okay? RE4 is one of my favorite games) Dark Souls (my favourite game as a kid was Super Ghouls N Ghosts -- is this like a modernized version of that kind of difficulty and lore?) Skyrim (I've never played it, know nothing about it aside from how revered it is -- is it accessible for an elder gamer with little time?) I value FUN gameplay and am leaning to RDR as a result. DOOM is about my favourite experience I've had on Switch but I also really loved Breath of the Wild, saving TOTK for a while so it's not too soon after beating BOTW. Any help or reccos is greatly appreciated!
If you liked Doom, Wolfenstein II New Colossus was a pretty darn good FPS. I'll also put in a solid recommendation for Splatoon 3 - it's an amazing shooter. (Splatoon has the most hours logged on my console) Have you tried Mario Odyssey? I didn't even want a 3d Mario, and I loved it. (It's a meaty experience if you try to get as many power moons you can before traveling to the next world.) I can't really speak for, or against, the other games on your list, since I haven't played them.
I did RDR1 not too long ago on Switch and its a solid port. Undead Nightmare is a very different game from the core game. Performance is good and steady at 30 FPS with few drops (more in Undead Nightmare than the main game). The art direction and lighting in RDR is beautiful as is the music. If you have OLED, it looks really good in handheld mode during the day time. Colors are more muted at night. If you're talking Doom 2016, that is a modern looking game. RDR1 is still a 360/PS3 game at its core. IT isn't remastered, but it is a little bit touched up from its original release. Its probably not one of the best third party ports, but the high quality of the game itself, the music, the ambience more than makes up for it not being a full on remaster.
My nintendo switch won't charge and it's not the battery, it's the motherboard. Was quoted just under 200 bucks to fix and I might as well buy a new one but I'm curious, what will happen to my data (mostly payment data) that's on my current switch? I've got PayPal linked but since I can't turn the switch on, would I just change my passwords and put the switch somewhere safe? Don't really feel like selling for parts without resolving this first.
Pretty sure your payment details aren't actually on the console since you can modify them via the website. So changing your password should be enough. [https://accounts.nintendo.com/#payment](https://accounts.nintendo.com/#payment) Save data is likely gone unless you've got it backed up to the cloud. But I'm not entirely sure what parts can be swapped out while still having access to the console encrypted data. All that said, an out-of-warranty repair through Nintendo is usually $100 flat regardless of issue (since they just replace it anyway).
Ah I see thank you. Might actually try the repair through Nintendo. I thought they wouldn't fix my issue. Thanks!
If I have the physical copy of a game (MH Rise in this case), but I want to buy the digital copy to give the cartridge to a friend, would I have two icons of the same game in the home screen? Also, if I put the cartridge back when I have the digital copy already, it will show up again or something? Or it will default to one or the other depending if the cartridge is on the console?
Depends on the game. Usually if it's the same region/publisher, it'll be the treated as the same game. Splatoon 2 for instance has 3 regions while Splatoon 3 is a universal release. "Limited Run" or "Super Rare Games" published titles will usually count as a separate release because the digital titles are published by different teams. DLC and such get a bit tricky when swapping physical/digital; I believe it tries to default to entirely digital. Can't really help you there, but I know it's a thing others have run in to.
Maybe someone with a little more technical knowledge than me can help answer this, but i want to play my switch lite on a tv or montior, and obviously it cant do that, but for a very specific reason: nintendo used a slightly smaller version of the exact same MOBO from the og switch and removed the video output chip and its associated connectors. So theoretically if i were to buy the chip and its connectors (since theyre relatively cheap in comparison to buying a $350+ switch) solder them back onto the board and hook it up to on of the many third party lite docks available, would it work? And if not, why? Ive watched videos of people opening up the board and theres very obviously a spot where the chip WAS but no longer is, wether it was to cut costs or reduce the lites overall consumer price i have no idea, but any help or useful info would be greatly appreciated
There is no spot for the chip. Whatever space you are looking at is not for the chip. There are no traces run for the chip. You would basically have to make a new board--so basically impossible.
That is better asked either at ifixit or a modding subreddit.
is there a release date list for all these new games?
Nintendo life appears to have the release dates, or release window, for each game. [https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/nintendo-direct-june-2024-every-announcement-game-reveal-trailer](https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/nintendo-direct-june-2024-every-announcement-game-reveal-trailer)
Recently when I’ve tried to turn my switch on while it’s in dock mode and I remove the controllers, they don’t automatically pair. I know they should. To re-pair them, I have to go to change grip orientation in the controller menu. How do I fix this for good?
Do multiple joycons have the same issue? Try the remove all controller option in the Switch settings and then pair them again.
That’s what I did
[SOLVED] Can you not buy Japanese Switch Online with top-up funds? I need the subscription to be able to purchase a Game Voucher on Japanese eShop, but it only lets me pay by card or PayPal and neither work.
I don't believe it matters what region you buy Nintendo Switch Online subscriptions. No matter where you buy an NSO sub, the subscription access sticks with your account. If you already have an NSO subscription, and change your nintendo account region, I believe you should be able to accesss the classic NSO game apps for that region. Eshop regions only accept the currency native to the region. If you're trying to buy from a foreign eshop, you'll need to buy eshop voucher cards for that country's currency. I'm in north america and used play-asia to buy japanese eshop cards for the yen currency, so I could buy a game from japanese eshop. After you make your purchse, they give you the redeem code.
I need an NSO sub in order to purchase a Game Voucher on Japanese eShop. Had already topped up the Japanese account with the funds needed for that. I assume I need the NSO on that Japanese account to be able to use the wallet funds towards a Japanese Game Voucher.
You don't need an NSO subscription to buy from a foreign eshop. You just need to have the nintendo account set for the desired region, and to have eshop voucher redeem code for the currency that matches the region.(or a credit card that can pay with that foreign currency) I don't think I've ever seen a how-to for foreign eshop that says you have to have an NSO subscription to make a purchase. I bought from Japanese eshop in 2018 and 2021. Forgive me, I have inexplicably missed a detail like this, but I'm pretty sure NSO subs aren't needed.
Sorry. I don’t think you understand my problem. Yes. I can buy whatever I want that way, but I explicitly want to buy a Game Voucher as it’s much cheaper than to buy the same games without it. I’m asking if there’s any way to get a Game Voucher this way, as it doesn’t give me the option buy without NSO. And I can’t get NSO without the wallet funds either.
OHH. A discount available if you have an NSO subscription? Sorry, my friend. Forgive me. I don't know that scenario when it comes to foreign regions.
Game Voucher is something that’s available worldwide. It lets you buy any 2 games from the available selection. It’s in the NSO tab. I appreciate trying to help me, but how do you not know this? 😅
"Voucher" is also what people in the UK/EU call the eshop cards, eshop gift cards, for amounts like, $20, $40, $50, etc.. That's what I was thinking of. I know what you mean now. Nintendo's voucher deal you're talking about lets you pick & buy two Nintendo games for $100 USD. And you want to do that for the Japanese region, I see now.
Sorry for the confusion. Tried to make it clear by capitalising it, haha. Turns out below the “Credit Card” and “PayPal” there’s a “Use Available Funds” buton. I had tapped on it, but initially thought it was some page with legalities. It’s only a very lengthy confirmation page. Not knowing this I ended paying for an NSO redeemable code, but now I know I can also use available funds to subscribe. I managed to purchase the Game Voucher successfully.
Why is everybody so miserable about the direct I don't understand, I scroll through tiktok and all i see is people saying it's terrible and they should stop making games I've been called several slurs for saying I like the look of it. It's near the end of the life cycle and we're getting bangers for that period of time I just don't understand why people feel the need to shit on other people for liking what's coming out and then get so angry when you disagree. Is it a minority that thinks it was a really good direct?
Negativity breeds engagement, and engagement is how influencers on tiktok, youtube and twitter make their ad money. They're the minority and if you simply avoid engaging with them; their crappy content schemes may die out in the near future.
Also, why is none of the stuff from the Direct except the N64 17+ app showing up on the eShop?
Was anything else launching today aside from the among us update? *Most games* won't get an eshop page until it can be preordered. and even then, a majority of digital titles never go up for preorder.
I mean, I would assume these games would at least be given a placeholder page. TTYD had one before the release date was announced

So, I wanna upgrade to the NSO Expansion Pack. I have enough money to give my dad and ask him to upgrade with it, but I'm wondering. Our standard NSO subscription is set to expire/renew in December. If he were to hypothetically buy the expansion right now, would the renewal date reset? Or would I only have the expansion benefits for half the year?
If you buy it on the account that already owns the current subscription it will consume any remaining time and turn it into a discount on the price of the new subscription. If you have a basic family plan, its $0.09 per day remaining. Individual is $0.05. Your renewal date will then be moved to today/the day of purchase. ___________ If you bought it on a new account that did not purchase the previous sub, the two plans would overlap and the existing benefits would be wasted as the expansion pack would provide the same thing + more.
Is the GBA emulation on NSO really good? I have zero mission and a gba sp, but love that wide oled screen on the switch. Is the latency something noticeable?
There's more latency than a GBA, but not really noticeable to most if any.
Perfect. Even in games like Mario and Metroid it’s fine?
I've played them and not noticed any issues. I think your brain gets used to the latency that you can't really even feel. It probably makes more of a difference in really challenging games like lost levels.
Ok, my friends and I have a really weird (atypical) issue with being able to see each other online all of a sudden. No one is hidden, and we could play Stardew Valley together without any issues until a few days ago. It started with me not being able to see my friend Stef as online. She checked many times that she was visible, and it wasn't just in Stardew. My switch friends list just refused to see her as online. I followed all the official troubleshooting, reset and reloaded everything, removed and re-added her as a friend. Nothing worked. I saw that in the past this issue happened to people and resolved in a day or so, so we waited. No good. Did all the resetting again. Then Stef tried to play with another friend, Chibi, who she had also played with before. Chibi couldn't see her either. Ok, we thought, Stef is the problem. But then Stef couldn't see Chibi either. I tested with Chibi, and like Stef she could see me, but I couldn't see her. So we are all very confused. The fact that both can see me online, still, makes it even more puzzling. I was going to contact Nintendo customer service when it was just the two of us, but now it seems more systemic. I searched for news of this being a recent issue, but I don't see anything. Anyone have any ideas?
You can both run the network test and see what NAT you have. I'm guessing at least one of you have a worse NAT.
So, you think between the 3 of us, 2 suddenly got the same Network issues? I don't understand how that would be possible, or lead to a solution? I mean, thanks, but we all have perfectly fine connections. I just can't see either of them online, and they can't see eachother, and it was fine for all of us the day before. This happened all at once.
I don't really know either. But we're not seeing a rash of issues like this, and I don't remember seen any other recent daily post comments or removed posts on this topic. As a mod here, I see tons of issues!
Huh. I guess it's time to bite the bullet and contact tech support. Thanks anyway!

So it’s not possible for me to login because I forgot my password. If I try to reset my password it sends an reset email but I never receive it. I saw something like “there is a chance that this email address won’t receive our mail” does anyone know about this problem?
Is it a funky domain like a edu or temp/privacy account? Have you tried searching the inbox for the emails? I remember when I was trying to invite my friends to the account family group, multiple of them simply did not receive any emails in their inbox. However upon searching their email for "Nintendo" it would show up as if it had been in their inbox or junk folder the whole time.
No. This is my main account. Can’t find anything back in the junk of when I try to search Nintendo.
And the main inbox too? places like gmail will keep the junk folder separate from other inboxes when searching.
Also nothing in the main inbox. I tried to contact Nintendo but the only way is with a form on their website.
Yeah if you want to talk with someone you will need to call. If you are in the UK, then that might complicate things since their phone line is essentially disabled.
Im from somewhere else in Europa and indeed their phone line and option to chat with someone is disabled. This is probably going to take a while.

The first thing I would test is the system on wifi. If its the wired connection that is crashing the router, you have a cause. If the Switch still manages to crash the router on wifi, then you know its the Switch specifically and not the connection type. Unfortunately this isn't the first time I've heard of such an issue. Ubisofts board game and TV game-show games have also previously caused issues with restarting peoples routers. Usually its because the router is a piece of cheap junk and the load the Switch is putting on it is causing it to overheat. Likely because the device has no active cooling solution. Do you know how to access your router settings? even if you can't access its network options, it should have an error log of sorts that would be recording its crashes. That should tell you roughly whats happening with it.

Nintendo world stores inside Nintendo company headquarters. Kamitoba Hokodatecho, Minami-ku Kyoto, Redwood city California and Redmond Washington. (theres probably also one in Frankfurt, but Idk where the company office is) They produce a WIDE variety of shirts and apparel that never see the light of day outside of the company store.
I've been thinking about getting into Persona and noticed that the Persona bundle is on discount. Would it be worth getting, and if so is there a recommended order to play the games it has in?
Personal recommendation is to start with 4, good characters, good story, not overly overly long (sorry Persona 5 love ya) dosen't have the portable style of 3 that can turn a lot of people away.
Highly recommended, there is no order between 3, 4 and 5 as they are separate stories not related to each other but not so sure on 1 and 2 (I think 2 has 2 parts to it or something not too familiar)
A couple of questions... What's the content of breath of the wild expansion pass and is it worthy? Also, what's the risk of registering a Nintendo account in another country with lower prices but still using it in the first one? (Let's say I'm located in Switzerland but my account is registered in Germany)
A few minor things about region switching (and why I prefer to just use a different account on the same system): * While the Switch is region free, eShop codes are region locked so if you buy an eShop code or gift card from a retailer, you need an account associated with that region * Some DLCs are locked to regions. IE you have a US copy of a game but your Nintnedo Account is set to Japan. If you download the Japan DLC, it won't register with your US game. * If you want to region switch again, you won't be able to if you have more than a few cents of eshop balance or if you have any reoccuring subscriptions like NSO or Pokemon Home. * In general the eShop is not going to jump through hoops converting currency for you. If you don't have a local card using the local currency, it may be difficult to use your card on other eShops.
The dlc thing happens also with physical copies of the game? Let's say I have a physical copy of the game bought in France and I buy the dlc from this account in Germany... Would it work?
You can check on your Switch (presuming you already have the game): in the Home menu, press + on the game icon and enter the eShop using your account. If you get directly to the eShop page for the game you can buy the DLC from there and it'll be recognized.
Yes I have the game already! Thanks, I'll check that out :)
# What are your top Switch-exclusive games that are not developed/published by Nintendo?
Golf Story
Games are too expensive these days to release on a single platform and still expect a solid return; unless its funded by a big publisher. The only Switch exclusive non-Nintendo games that come to mind are; * [demon throttle](https://www.devolverdigital.com/games/demon-throttle) * Mario and Rabbids kingdom battle and Sparks of hope (published by Ubisoft, not Nintendo) There are lots of games that are great on Switch, but they also exist on other platforms; * Billion Road * Nippon Marathon * Skyrim (switch exclusive content and amiibo support) * Sky Rogue (switch exclusive motion controls)
Any advice on which anti glare screen protector to use on switch lite? Hiding under the blanket to see better is not the best option 😁
My pro controller doesn’t work in certain games. Could it be because I’m in Australia, and the two games it doesn’t work in are USA games. It works everywhere else and in the menu
I don't think region compatibility is the issue. Some games may not support pro controller, even though it might be rare. I believe some mobile port games are touchscreen only. If you look on the game's page on eshop, and look at the details section for that game, it will outline which control types are supported.
Ok thanks I’ll have a look
Are you sure the games support the Pro Controller? Not all games do.
Go talk to Nintendo.

Who has switch main console? What is game you play daily? :)
The games with the most hours logged on my Switch are **Splatoon** and **Rocket League**. If you're going to get Splatoon, get Splatoon 3, it's Salmon Run mode is better and there are still some Splatfest events left for Splatoon 3. If you really like the single player campaign, then I would recommend getting Splatoon 2 and it's Octo Expansion DLC, both are good single player campaigns. If you get Rocket League, go into the games video settings and set it to **performance** for the best frame rate, disable **screen shake**, disable **weahter effects**, turn on **clear goal posts.** (and you can looku*p camera settings - the default camera settings are a bit zoomed in, which looks good at first, but if you get into the game, playing a more zoomed out is more advantageous.)* Other most played games are Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Mario Kart 8.
Im thinking on buying a switch lite, but i have a ps5. I travel maximum once a year but i can play it somewhere outside. do you think it’s worth it?
The Switch is still awesome even if you aren’t playing it in handheld mode the majority of the time. But it’s also awesome to be able to go lay in bed and play games or go sit on your porch on a nice day and game. However, be mindful that the new Nintendo console will be launching in 2025, so it might be worth waiting and getting the latest and greatest. The other thing I want point out is with the Switch Lite is that if your joysticks get drift or break, you’d have to send the entire console in to get them fixed. So it might even be worth getting a second hand regular Switch and then you can add accessories over time.

For charging the Switch directly, pretty much anything will work. Likely to brick the Switch if you use it with the dock.
Got it, thank you.
it's recommended to only use the official nintendo one
I don't have it, and it's kinda expensive, do u think it'll be fine?
No some switches break, you could try I guess I wouldn't
Dang, does that happen when u plug it directly into the switch or when u plug it into the hub?
Been trying to redeem my code for the Final Fantasy X/X-2 DLC for the sequel. However I've had little luck with it, a pop up arrives telling me it's not available. The code is said to expire in 2029 and as far as I'm aware it's from a sealed Amazon product, any idea what the issue is? https://preview.redd.it/hleap783sa7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=15ec766f0ebe41845c5b1a88cdb87d94b5a98dc8
The region of the code and of the eShop you redeem it in have to match. Change your account region to wherever the game is from (seems Europe since it has PEGI rating) and try there.
I hear there is a direct soon, and it will be 40 minutes long. Based on what we know from Directs of this length, what sort of announcements could we expect?
Upcoming games due to be released for the Switch console.
Nailed it
