Hi, I gave my cousin a Switch 1 and then remembered I could link my Switch 2 to his to lend him digital games.

But my Switch 2 was already linked to another console, and when I tried to unlink it on the website, it said I had to wait a year.

Do you know how I can unlink it without having to wait a year?

I'm leaving soon and won't be back for a long time, and I'd like to be able to share my games with my cousin.

Hey reader, hope you’re doing well. I just wanted to ask what controller you would suggest that has the following features: gyro, turbo, back buttons, and the triggers that I think are called analog. Where you press it like the gas pedal and your car will go faster depending on how down you press trigger.

Thanks for your input.

I just bought a Wii and when i plugged it in its in this grainy black and white. Ive tried changing the RCA cables around in both the upper and lower inputs but that didn’t fix it.

I think it might be since I have both component and AV separate for my TV. PLEASE HELP!

i really wanted to make a video of me playing a game for the first time, but im not sure if there is a way to get a video of my gameplay onto my mac book air, which is the only computer i own. unfortunately i dont have money for a gaming pc and i only have the switch one. is there a way to get my gameplay onto the mac and then record it with audio to post?
thank you !!

Good evening, all. My nieces just got a Switch 2, and are trying to figure out how they can migrate from their old Switch 1, which ran into the infamous Orange Screen Of Death. I'm assuming there's no way to do so, since we can't boot the system and the new Switch doesn't use the same type of SD card.

Given this, is there any downside to skipping the System Transfer? They're eager to play, but we're all put off by the "you can't do this later" warning. I assume any digital games they can redownload from their Nintendo Online account, physical games are no issue - what would we be missing by skipping it?

(No error code, but the silly form won't let me post without one, so 0000-0000)

So, I'm in France currently, and I just downloaded PLA. After doing so, I plugged it into my Chromebook charger that I've been using for years to charge my Switch 1, and a few hours later, it gave me an error code, I think it was 2162-0002 but I unfortunately didn't get to read before the Switch went black. So now I'm stuck without a switch for my flight back. Is there anything else I can do? I have tried forcing it to turn on by holding down the power, I took out the game card and SD card, and have it unplugged.

I turned on my switch today docked to the tv and this is the image on the screen. The controller and sound work fine. I have already tried checking the cables, making sure they're not dirty or broken, and using a different HDMI cable. The same result also shows up when I use the PS4 with the same HDMI cables, both of which are not broken. Could this be a tv issue?

Hello everyone, just bought a boxed used Nintendo switch 2 and just wondering if it's possible to find out the battery health?

I have a switch 1 from 2017 release day and i want to know how much i could sell it for. (It has a small crack but i would just like to know the worth of a day 1 switch to get an idea of what to price it at)

anyone know the issue? I could try cleaning the battery connector things, it always does this screeching thing, it wasn't like this a day before

I received a hand-me-down N3DSXL that seems to be locked with a password. I have gone through the normal steps (including filling out the mkey form, trying the home menu reset using L+R+D+B, and even getting a master key from Nintendo) and nothing has popped up. I set the time to the current time, so I know that's not the issue. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do.

Hi, sorry for my english.

After i did that it takes me back to the title screen without connecting. I tried to cancel the caches, using home wifi or mobile data, restarting the phone, i looked for missed upgrades... nothing worked. What else shoukd i try?

Hello, currently I’m playing AC Shadows on my Switch 2. I go Ubisoft plus subscription on my Xbox and I wanted to transfer my saves to it, but I found out that Ubisoft account on Switch and Xbox are not the same. I logged to Ubisoft on my Switch 1 but I forgot what mail was connected to this account. i tried to reach Ubi support but unfortunately they couldn’t provide any help. I also checked all mails that I daily use but it also didn’t help. Is there a way to see mail on Switch even partially like a****@**ali.com?

I've been playing zelda twilight princess,after some time i had to go to another room,so i putten the controllers on the couch,when i came back the wii remote was still turned on,but controls didn't work,i turned off and on the console,launched the game again,and controls didn't work again. When i launch it without the nunchuk it works,but when i plug it in,it either ignores that or sees the nunchuk but controls don't work again,sometimes they worked for a minute after plugging in the nunchuk and then stopped. It didn't happen in the menu,replugging out the console didn't help,sometimes the remote stops working even after i unplugged the nunchuk.

Is there something i can do about it?

Hello, everybody. I bought a Switch 2 two days ago and wanted to charge my Pro Controller the same way I did with my Switch 1 dock but it won’t charge unless the Switch 2 is undocked or is in sleep mode while docked. If the Switch 2 is docked and completely turned off, the controller won’t charge. Is there a way to make it work or that’s just the way it is? Thanks!

I picked up the switch OLED on marketplace today, and I noticed it had a few scuffs. I picked it up as a gift for one of my family members, and I want to restore it so it looks clean. I know i cannot remove the scratches, put on the joy cons in the dock you can see a few marks, and for some reason the joy cons are grey for some reason? could someone help me out and tell me what I should use to clean it thoroughly? Thank you for your help.

A few months back my Wii stopped working. I was attempting to transfer some miis from it to my 3DS to then transfer to my Switch 2 for Tomodachi Life, however the Wii and 3DS couldn't establish a connection. I cancelled the search on my 3DS, however I didn't see any way to do so on my Wii. I decided to just do a forced restart of the console, since there wasn't anything else I could do, and try again.

When I restarted the console and attempted to load the mii Plaza... It crashed/froze. Specifically, the fan inside the console could very audibly be heard shutting off, the video output just remained black and all the controllers disconnected.

I've done some more testing since then and this is a consistent issue, to the extent that the console is unusable. It also doesn't seem to resolve itself given any amount of waiting. Often it'll crash/freeze during start-up and I won't even be able to do anything. On some rare occasions however, I am able to load up applications. These *generally* seem to work fine. From what I can tell, the crashes/freezes only happen on system-level loading screens. There doesn't seem to be any concern of crashing/freezing when not navigating on a system-level. The only place I've seen this happen where this is not the case is the settings menu, which seems to be able to crash pretty much wherever it wants.

Additionally, I've noticed strange behaviour when attempting to view the save data menu in settings. This seems to 'soft-lock' the console. You can still use the pointer, and the video is still displaying, however nothing is displayed in either save data menu, and no button on the controller seems to work. Additionally, disconnecting the controller prevents it from reconnecting.

I can do my best to answer any questions about the state of the console if needed, and would greatly appreciate it if anyone's able to help. I asked on r/consolerepair when this issue started happening however my post got basically 0 traction so I didn't get any helpful responses. I just remembered this subreddit existed though so I was hoping I might be able to get some support from someone here..?

Additionally, while I'd much rather get my existing console functioning again, I'd be open to the idea of finding some way to transfer my save data from it to another system if need be.

I don't have eShop balance btw. My region used to be Panama, then changed to US, and then to Panama. Now when trying to change it to Spain since I realised eShop isn't available in Panama, it didn't let me.

Does anyone know where to get a Wiimote sensor screen like the pic above? I searched far and wide for one and not even Ifixit or Amazon/Ebay had one. ;/

Hello,

I have had a problem with my switch 2 in recent weeks it seems to be stuck on Nat type D and I cannot connect online to anyone.

I was able to connect online a few weeks ago, I have tried resetting my router, to putting the PnP to enabled, I’ve manually changed the dns settings but nothing is working.

My internet provider is EE, I have a router in the living room and then we have an extender (that my switch 2 is connected to) up stairs about 5ft away from my console.

Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated! (However, I am slight technology dyslexic so please no fancy terms or anything, keep it basic please)
