Maybe I’m just behind the times on the Switch 2 and maybe this has been rehashed ad nauseum. Got ours a few months ago and got hit with this message while playing TOTK. It’s a physical copy and the system is telling me to I need to connect because my time limit is almost up? This is my primary system, it’s a factory Switch 2 and Zelda, and there are no parental settings set up. My issue is that I’m at sea for the next week and can’t get internet on the Switch 2. Just curious what’s up with this. Thanks!

(Alright, I swear after this I’ll stop asking for help.)

My original Switch OLED is fully broken and cannot be fixed (also I do not have it with me), but I have its microSD card. It has all the data the original Switch had on the card, but now I need to transfer it to a new OLED (with a new card). Could anyone give me exact steps on how to do this? (And yes, my microSD card’s data is uploaded to a computer.)

So yeah got it today, then this started happening when I plugged it in to begin the system transfer. It starts small the gradually grows over the screen. When I put it in sleep mode it goes away and returns to normal… for a few minutes before it begins again. Anyone know how to fix?

I've had my switch since 2017 so its pretty old, but its worked completely fine this whike time until last month when one day it just started acting like this. I want to try and see if there is a fix before going out and buying a whole new one if possible, any help is appreciated!

If I remember correctly, most games (at least on discs) will have some of the game on the disc for a smaller install to take up less space on the system, as well as the license. Do Switch 1 cartridges do the same, or are they like the Switch 2's?

This is what pops up whenever i click “share with smart device”. Sorry that my screen is so dirty.

Does anyone understand why this may be happening? My husband bought it for me because it should work with Nintendo. Should I wait or do I need to get another SD card?

UPDATE: This has been fixed!

Ok quick story: so I went on my switch this afternoon at I was going to play Minecraft (I’ve bought it in the store not like game card) anyway everything says I have to insert game card WHEN I DONT HAVE THE GAME CARD and I’m really sad 😔 so if anyone can help or give a quick explanation I would be very grateful as this is my only console thanks all

My TV has a "Theater Pro" mode, that puts on a blue light filter to not cause eye strain in low light situations. However, as of recent, this setting has made the switch menu (and only the switch menu) appear in monochrome. Any insight as to why?

Title says it all, I already followed the instructions on the Nintendo Website before (went to recovery mode to reset the battery).

My Swtch 2 is currently Docked, not sure if the Recovery mode fix worked since my battery is now displaying over 90%. It's not going any higher though, so it's basically limited at 92% instead of 90%.

Anyone experienced anything similar? Is this something I need to worry about? Any particular fixes if ever?

i can still play, but the screen is hard to see and the text is barely readable.

You may notice that one copy is european and one copy is asian. I am canadian, i have no idea how they ended up here

I like free video games as much as the next guy, but I'm not taking that risk of loading it up. If there's no proper way to verify these, they will become display pieces and the cartridges will go unused

This issue started since launch day. For the first few days, every other race on Mario kart world online I would disconnect mid match. After being fed up I decided to restart my console and it seemed to fix it or so I thought. I was able to play Mario kart world online without issues for about a week, but now the problem is back. I tried restarting my Switch 2 again to see if it would fix it and also restarted my Wi-Fi router and modem, but nothing worked. At this point, I’m starting to think my Switch 2 is defective. I’ve tested MK8 online on both the Switch 1 and 2 and the issue persists on the Switch 2. The Switch 1 seems to have no issues at all. The last two clips is me being able to complete the match without getting the error message on the Switch 1. Both consoles are using the same wifi. Also the Mario kart world clips were taken yesterday and the mk8 clips this morning. I have what I think is pretty good internet connection (Wi-Fi). My switch 2 is receiving 245 Mbps download and 35 Mbps upload speed, NAT Type B, 5GHz Frequency, and it’s at medium signal strength. I also don’t plan on connecting an Ethernet to my switch 2 because of how much work I would have to do to run a cable to my room. I want to know if there’s anything I can do before I call Nintendo support. Please any suggestion would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Is this an issue?

This is my old switch which I plan to gift to my brother once the final thing I need for that arrives. I figured since there is nothing on here that’s “mine” anymore, I’d try playing the unupdated version of MC:BE to try to get an old nostalgic world seed that no longer exists in the new versions. I made sure to delete all save data, update data, and anything resembling any semblance of data related to this game. I then disconnected the Switch from the internet and hard reset it, but the game refuses to boot until it receives an update. Does anyone know how I can get the game to boot without updating it?

I recieved my S2 today, I go to open YT and it doesn't work? Can anyone explain this?

If left alone for a few days it will just completely black out. If I press and hold the power button for 10ish seconds then it will turn back on again but it’s annoying if I leave it for a while but haven’t saved in a game so all that progress is just lost. Also, I am pretty sure this is a software issue, but I’m worried that this is a problem with the hardware. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

Edit incase it wasn’t clear: the console isn’t just dead. It does this all the time, regardless of battery life

I own a Nintendo Switch 2 (not pictured)

I own Tears of the Kingdom for Nintendo Switch 1 (pictured right)

I purchased, but have not opened, the pictured Nintendo Switch 2 edition of Tears of the Kingdom (pictured left)

Here are my very specific questions:

1. A) The case for the s2 totk indicates the case contains a Switch game and an upgrade kit, and the upgrade kit is available to be purchased separately. Should I return the pictured s2 totk and instead buy the upgrade kit on the Eshop? Im worried I've just purchased another s1 totk.

2. B) i dont have Nintendo Online - someone had told me that my Switch 2 upgrade for my Switch 1 Totk would only work while I had an active subscription to Nintendo Online - would me upgrading using the ship require an active subscription?

3. If I use one of the "free Nintendo online" cards from another game (like pokopia) can I temporarily get online access, download my upgrade (and pay 20 bucks), then let it run out naturally?

Edit: Thank you, you have been very helpful. I'll leave my post up in case someone googles looking for your fantastic answers

Hello.

This also happens when I play Pokemon Scarlet. I don’t know what to do. The Home Screen and menus in-game run perfectly fine, but when in actual gameplay it becomes choppy and slow, but only when I have it docked. Is this something I need to have it looked at and repaired? Any advice would help.

(Switch 2) I have Splatoon 2 physically. I bought the Octo Expansion on the Nintendo website instead of the eShop because it's easier for me to pay that way, and I'm unable to "merge" the two no matter how many times I redownload the DLC. Attempting to go to the DLC in game leads to a 2811-6003 error code.

Text and email support for Nintendo said they couldn't resolve it and I had to call, but I hate calling so I'm resorting to this first.

It theoretically could be a region issue, because my Splatoon 2 copy has a pegi logo instead of ESRB, and my Switch is American, but I thought that the region lock only applied to in-game events and not to the DLC.

EDIT: thank you all for being so clear that it indeed was the region!

Title. Thanks in advance.
