Purchase / Order Help Should I buy the cheaper one that’s region free?
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but is there a reason I shouldn’t buy the cheap one? I’m in the US if that makes a difference.

Hi guys, i need some help, i bought a glass screen protector for my ns2 Zelda edition (bought the console in Amazon UK), however i notice there is a bevel in the screen? Somebody with the Zelda edition bought in Amazon have it too? Is It a plástic protector like the ones we used to have in the DS era? I mostly bought the glass one bc of a dust related scratch (last pic) but now i'm second guessing if It is the screen or a fabric-installed-protector.
Scared to try to peel It and ending scratching It more.

around a year ago (maybe a few months less) i changed my profile picture to raymond from animal crossing with the night time forest background. i quickly got tired of it and changed my profile picture to rosalina, and it worked for a few minutes. but once i opened a game and checked back up on it, it went back to raymond. i tried over 10 times, and every single time it went back to raymond. this happened for maybe 6 months, until finally it let me change my profile picture and keep it as rosalina. except now every time i edit my profiles name, it changes back to raymond. my siblings have been recently getting a kick out of editing my name to “stupid”, or “fartypants”, and every time they edit it, it changed back to raymond. and now, today i went to go change it back to rosalina, and this happened. i have not even made 100 profile presets. all of the ones i created were deleted and replaced with raymond. and no, it wasnt my siblings because they are too young to know how to change my profile picture from the nintendo online menu. they dont even know what nintendo online is. now i dont know if this was raymond or my siblings, but all my friends got deleted too a few days ago. my siblings are again too young to know how to do that, but maybe the oldest couldve figured it out. i dont know what is going on dude i swear this isnt a spoof send help
edit: i’ve also tried deleting the raymond profile picture but it doesnt work. also my switch is the OLED model

I’ve got a few games I’ve already beaten or played enough of and want to start them over. But when I do “Reset Game”, it doesn’t take me to the tile screen where I’d be able to select Save A, B, C. It just puts me back in the active save.

I want to buy an international switch game on eBay.
I bought an international version of Horizon Zero Dawn with a PEGI rating for PS4 years ago and when I bought the dlc digitally, it wouldn't play on my game because of that. I had to ask Sony for a refund which I was surprised they did for me.
Are there any problems with dlc on international versions of games in America?

I need a little bit of help, i noticed yesterday when playing legends za that my hours in play activity haven't been updating and it's stuck around 300 or more hours although my ingame hours are close to 309.
My system is updated to version 23.5.0. So i have no idea what caused this. Is it posibble to fix, or do i just wait untill switch two gets another update

Hello! First time poster here, so please don’t come for me lol. I just upgraded from a Switch 1 to a Switch 2 on Friday and have played the console twice. I noticed this mark on my Switch 2 this morning and now I’m worried. Does this look like scratch or a crack? I’ve only been playing it while docked so I’m confused on how it happened. My screen protector arrives tomorrow, and yes I know I should have waited until it came in but I was so excited to play OOT. Please help a girl out and let me know if this a scratch or crack. 😅😅😅

Hey everyone, last night was playing zelda and finished closed my game turned off and put back in case.
This morning walk up, and the screen powers on then just black screen flicks on and off with back light on and off as well and won't display anything.
I plug into the docking station and it works fine.
I've tried the hard shut down, and cable on and on power is at 50% and still nothing.

I recently obtained a 40th anniversary switch 2 and I applied a Dbrand screen protector to it immediately, before I ever used it or even turned it on. I noticed that when there are light colors being displayed, there are these 2 lines on my screen that appear when the background is light a lighter color. It's really difficult to catch on camera but it's a lot more prominent looking at it directly. If you are struggling to see it, look above and bellow the word "in".
I noticed it in a game and thought maybe it was just a graphical bug but realized it persisted in the menus and such when I switched them over to the light color theme. I wanted to see if anyone has seen this issue before, are these dead pixels? Or could this be an artifact from the screen protector?
Since it's still brand new it should still be under the manufacturer warranty but Nintendo can be really weird about replacing special edition consoles as they will tell you that you aren't guaranteed to get your "special edition console back" and they may give you a regular refurbished one in return. I will try removing the screen protector once I have a replacement in a couple days but thought I'd ask about it here first.

Hey everyone! I’m playing the Ocarina of Time remake, and I’ve been noticing occasional FPS drops. They aren’t critical, but they’re definitely noticeable—often happening when I turn the camera quickly, for instance. I’ve started worrying about whether something might be wrong with my console. I know I probably sound a bit paranoid, but I can’t help but worry.
Tell me, do you guys ever experience these little micro-stutters or FPS dips?

From my last posts I bought an SD card from Target Today and it wouldn’t work on my switch 2 so I returned and got a new one do you guys think it’s the slot for the Sd card to go in ?
r/NintendoSwitchHelp • u/therealMonkChoy • 1h ago
I know this might be a frequently asked question but I just wanted to be sure. I was hoping I could squeeze one for myself in time for Rayman Legends: Retold since i pre-purchased it without thinking about that I don't actually own a switch 2
r/NintendoSwitchHelp • u/Unhappy-Dust-3009 • 15h ago
Idk if this is the right place to have this but I bought the OoT Remake a couple of days ago and I can't seem to okay it because some random Switch is linked with me and it says I'm sharing 5 games with it. I try to unlink it and it pops up with this message what should I do?
r/NintendoSwitchHelp • u/Few_Resident_5321 • 16h ago
In reference to the post I made a couple of days ago that was locked because for whatever reason, most people in the comments instead of giving input and advice, they made fun of the fact that I had Fortnite installed. Anyway, if anyone's curious about the outcome, turns out that the following day, the flickering went away, out of nowhere, just like it first appeared.
So, I think it was software related after all. My guess is that, considering the flickering happened exactly as I attached the left joy con, it somehow got stuck on the animation that happens on the side of the screen when you do it. Additionally, it was a sideways flickering so that leads me to believe even more that that was the reason. It's the only thing I can think of, 'cause the screen looks completely fine now. I also read that the HDR and fps configuration can be related to this kind of weird flickering.

I’m trying to deregister my old switch which can’t be charged or even turned on, and every post I see telling me I can do it remotely from the website, but the button they’re all talking about has simply vanished. I’ve watched videos of people doing it and everything looks fine up until I get to the deregister button which just doesn’t exist for me. I’m trying to play switch 2 games but it keeps requiring WiFi to verify that I can play my own games because I guess the dead switch I haven’t been able to turn on in 3 years is still primary console. Is there anything I can do or am I just screwed

Hey guys I wanted to play OoT on my Tv I checked if I got 4K hdr signal but nope nothing. I use the right hdmi input it is the one I use for my ps5. On the Ps5 I get 4k60 HDR without problems but the switch doesn’t. I use the same cable and input on my tv but the ps5 gets it and not the switch. Did anyone had the same problem?

My switch 2 hasn’t been connecting to the dock for a couple months. I’ve tested it on other docks and it didn’t work as well. Don’t know if anyone else has had this issue. It charges just fine but will not connect at all to the dock nor third party docks either. I don’t want to have to send it in as I’ve been playing Ocarina. Hope someone can help!

I bought a used Switch bundle and it came with a loose Let's Go Eevee cart and loose Poke Ball controller. Are these considered a loose set together, or are they separate items?

So I caved and bought a 40th Zelda switch 2 from a scalper on eBay (not proud of it but I wanna play oot remaster bad and don’t wanna fight restocks) and it’s a PAL region switch. Will I have any problems with it or will it work just like a us switch when I switch regions in settings?

Have a u green 100w charger and u green 100w cable. When I plug it into the bottom usb C charging port of the switch 2 it comes up with charging on the switch 2 screen then stops and won't charge via the bottom port. When I plug it into the top usb C port of the switch 2 it works perfectly. Nothing wrong with the bottom port as the official charger works and if I use a different cable with the u green adapter it charges the switch 2 via the bottom port.
So the issue must be with the cable. It's brand new and works with everything else but the switch 2 bottom usb C port.
Is there some sort of handshake issue going in here with the cable and bottom USB C port of the switch 2 that's different from the top port?
Interested to know people's thoughts.
