EDIT:

Thank you all for the speedy responses. Unfortunately I think I’ll end up losing the games until I can afford them again. I don’t have it in me to keep his account on there
I’m trying to clean my life of his presence so if losing the games means that so it is.

ORIGINAL:

Help!

My ex fiancé broke up with me in May. We are absolutely no contact. When we got the Switch 2 he loaded it up first as he had bought it and then I added my account. So technically the digital preloaded game and digital games that were purchased (Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bonanza, Tomodachi Life, and Mario Galaxy 2) are all under his profile.

Is there any way to switch the owner? I don’t want the data. I don’t really care and I will start over. I just want the games under my name. I don’t have $300 to repurchase everything. 🫤

TL:DR Playstation gaming and fifa was making me miserable and obsessive, and the switch has brought colour, relief and fun into my life and i never want to go back.

Ive been an avid gamer my whole life, its probably been my main hobby. Started off with the ds and the wii, then to Xbox 360, ps4 then ps5.

As ive grown into adulthood, gaming has felt like a chore. Id end up sitting on fifa (or EAFC now) absolutely hating it but simply couldnt face loading another game up. And when another game did peak my interest, id play it for like a week or two then get bored and go back to fifa. I was miserable, my main hobby became infuriating, i felt like a slob just sat doing nothing meaningful. Sometimes id fancy playing something else, or on another console, but the fear of starting something new or (and this sounds daft) not being able to earn achievements or something made it feel like a waste of time. This boredom meant i was just sat, either playing a game i was hating or just sat on my phone.

About a year ago, a mate of mine sold me his OLED switch. Bearing in mind id had a couple of normal switch’s before, and ended up trading them at some point. Apart from one holiday where i grinded Lego Star Wars skywalker saga, it still just sat dormant.

Then, about a month ago, something really strange just clicked in my head. Id been going over to my brothers to play daft old games like stuntman and fight night, so maybe that had an effect, or maybe it was the teasers of the ocarina of time remake, but all of a sudden i has this mega urge to play my switch.

Im from the UK and we have an app called Vinted, like ebay but better and cheaper, so i bought Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity - brilliant game. i loved it. Then i got more. Switch Sports, 1-2 Switch, 51 Worldwide games, Tears of the Kingdom….

I was hooked. I got so many games, all physical, a couple of super cheap indie games or daft games off the nintendo shop, started playing nintendo classics, it was unreal. i was HAVING FUN! For the first time in a long time i was having fun playing games. Im not sure if its that alot of the games i was playing were more ‘harmless’ - the cartoony images and colours of Link and Mario etc were just so calming, or it was the vast array of pick up and play games that i could play for 20 minutes then pack it up, or if it was the handheld nature, but gaming felt fun and completely unshackled. i felt free, the lack of achievements made me happy playing anything i wanted, and after getting Mario Kart i felt like a carefree child in an adult body.

All of this gaming made me convince myself i needed a switch 2, so i got one. With Switch Sports resort (wii sports resort table tennis was something i loved as a kid) and the ocarina of time remake (my dad used to tell me about the original, and i completed the 3d remake, so its got a sentimental factor for me) i just felt so happy.

The switch 2 is a dream. its an amazing console. It feels premium, its powerful, the game selection is incredible - it feels like the ultimate adult console that helps you relax and see the fun in life. With games like mario kart and 51 clubhouse games, my girlfiend and i are also playing together alot, which has been really really nice, and with mario and sonic at the olympics or switch sports its given me and my brother some awesome nostalgic playing together, its just amazing.

So at the end of the day, the switch and switch 2 have given me a new lease on life. i feel happier, i feel more fun, i dont feel down, or like a slob - im not obsessing over the games i play or the amount of mental energy they take, im just having fun. and i dont want it to stop!

since my lightbulb moment ive set up a gaming collection on my shelf which i thought id share!

Thanks for reading!!

Skyward Sword has interested me, but I'm not sure if I should get it or not.

I've heard that it's the most divisive game in the franchise. I've heard that it has some of the best dungeons in the series, a good story, and a good soundtrack, but I also heard that this game is very linear, has excessive handholding, and is tedious in some parts of the game.

I have played a few of the mainline Zelda games (Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, and Ocarina of Time). I enjoyed the dungeons in Ocarima of Time, and I liked the exploration in all 3 of these games. I have also enjoyed linear games.

I have a few questions. 1, how much handholding is in this game? 2, how linear is this game?, and 3, how tedious is this game?

And why do I want it 😠

Currently playing the amazing ocarina of time remake and I feel like a kid again.

I am infuriated right now with Nintendo’s decision to use FedEx as their primary shipping within the USA.

My Zelda 40th anniversary console was just stolen by FedEx, along with an electric ocarina and a GameCube switch 2 controller. The driver dropped my items off at what looked like an empty abandoned warehouse according to the picture and then drove past my residence without stopping, but marked my items as delivered.

This has ruined the holidays for my family as I was banking on having this console under the tree for everyone to enjoy on Christmas morning.

I have never had good experiences with FedEx and I’ve always seen stories of these delivery drivers doing sketchy practices like this. I don’t know if it’s even possible to get a replacement for the console or controller because of the current demand. I’m just devastated that this happened.

Buyers beware for all those who got the restock for the Zelda 40th Switch 2 console. FedEx doesn’t give a flying you know what and their drivers have no problem screwing over families during the holidays.

I’ve already contacted Nintendo and FedEx, but I have no idea if anything will happen in time for the holiday.

FU FedEx

As soon as I received the ocarina In this game I’ve been goofing off and playing random songs on it haha 🤣 let me know If you know this songgg I’m trying to play on it. It’s a popular songgg lol, so I’m sure a lot will know it, but this is so cool. I’m a huge fan of the Zelda series and this is like the best one I’ve played honestly. I love it so much 😭💕

I don’t think I ever got past level 3 in Aladdin. It was a shame it was so hard the mechanics were fun. You got a sword, you could throw apples. Maybe it’ll be different this time around. Pretty sure when you die, you can at least restart at the same level in this remake.

It's what old???!!! Don't care as much on the anniversaries as the game was considered bad by a lot.

Check your Nintendo Switch Online!! Thanks Nintendo 🫶🏻

And it was pre-ordered 1 month before. At least I got the foil I guess

Hello everyone so basically I got a trade offer for my 2013 Xbox one for Nintendo switch lite that has one broken joy, con, and it would need replacing, my Xbox one just sits in the box and hasn’t been touched in years. I don’t have a controller so that’s why it’s been collecting dust and also I have a PS5. I don’t know what’s the value of Xbox ones nowadays but I feel like an Nintendo switch light would be a better option. What do you guys think and also how is the community and the games on the Nintendo switch life? I’ve never owned a Nintendo product in my life at all.

Starting Nov. 22 through Dec. 5, rev up for Black Friday with the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle featuring a Nintendo Switch 2 system, a full download of the Mario Kart World game and a 3-Month (90-Day) Nintendo Switch Online Individual Membership for the suggested retail price of $499.99, a savings of $50

From Nov. 22 through Nov. 29, select games for Nintendo Switch 2 like Donkey Kong Bananza and Nintendo Switch games such as Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be $20 off the suggested retail price.

Tenho um Switch lite desbloqueado que comprei faz uns meses, mas tô num tédio. Nenhum jogo que eu baixo consegue me prender o suficiente.

Hi! I had finally gotten ahold of the Zelda Switch from Nintendo and it was to be delivered today thru FedEx. Estimated time came and went, then got pushed backed an hr, still nothing. And hour later it now says "Available for Pickup". Is this something that has happened to others?

I dont usually order expensive things online and this is the first time Ive ordered something bigger from Nintendo. And with the sudden change Im worried driver stole it and just marked for pick up, or is that something that happens and its probably safe?

Apparently the pick up/shipping center is closed today so I cant call or anything. Was super excited to have it when I got home after working a 12hr shift and now Im just disappointed and stressed lolol.

Thanks for any insight and advice!

Edit: I wasnt sure where else to post this to ask, if this isnt the right sub Id appreciate knowing where a better place to post is.

The Switch is obviously designed to fit in a vertical dock. Has anyone used a horizontal or slanted dock stand? Is there advice against it?

For context I locate mine in a dedicated section under the TV in a TV stand (with airflow) but getting it in and out isn’t ideal.

Est ce que quelqu'un à déjà acheté ce kit de protection sur Amazon ? Si oui, est ce que le verre trempé avec un imprimé Hello Kitty se voit quand on joue et quand l'écran est allumé ? Et est ce que c'est gênant ?

Hi, I bought a Switch for my kids but now I want my own too LoL. What are some good games for a late 80s/90s kid? I grew up with NES and N64. My last console before this was a GameCube.

I prefer 2D NES style games that I can play in short intervals. I'm not a fan of RPGs that take hundreds of hours to play.

I plan to get:

Contra Collection

Marvel Cosmic Invasion

Metroid Dread

Streets of Rage 4

Terminator 2D

TMNT Shredder's Revenge

I already have:

Kirby and the Forgotten Land

New SMB Deluxe

Super Mario 3D All Stars

Super Mario 3D World

Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario Wonder
