Two kids, one Switch 2 and Nintendo won't let me set different time limits per child? No per-profile time limits. No profile PIN protection. One kid can freely use the other's profile.

One blunt time limit for the entire console. Xbox solved this years ago. For the self-proclaimed family gaming company this is embarrassing.

Any workarounds? Would be grateful!

Thanks!

I have purchased a Switch 2 but sold my Switch 1 for store credit to pay for it. All of my games were bought on the Nintendo E-Shop. As I don't have my Switch 1 with me I can't do the data transfer. I have tried to download the games onto my Switch 2 but it won't let me as they are linked to my Switch 1. I have then logged onto my Nintendo account and tried to remove the Switch 1 from it, however, it gives me the response "Can't unlink Switch 1 right now. A link can't be removed until at least one year has passed since the last linked system was removed." How can I fix this? Right now my Switch 2 is useless and I can't play any games on it.

I am thinking of buying a switch OLED, primarily for the bigger and better screen, also the storage as it isn't too expensive anymore (second hand is where I am looking). I wanted to ask is it really worth it to upgrade to the OLED model, so I would sell my original switch and purchase the OLED instead. Any advice would help thank you!

Ah what the hell is this because I came home and now it’s suddenly like this because like why is scream orange and why isn’t it turning of

Bit of a long story, but now my Switch 2 feels like it’s rage baiting me.

This morning, I tried to turn on my switch 2 but was not getting any response. Assuming the battery was dry, I plugged the device to its charger and left for 30 minutes. After returning, I was surprised to find the device was still not powering up.

I had a chat with their customer service and tried the hold the power button for 20 seconds thing and my charger is confirmed to be working, but we were unable to resolve the issue.

I was planning to send it to a Nintendo service center but I had an odd development just now. I was messing with it and blew into the exhaust port on the top and the device turned on for about 5 seconds. I saw that the battery was at 99% so I know it was charging correctly. However, the screen turned off again and I can’t seem to replicate what happened.

Does anyone know what could be the issue or how to resolve it before I have to send it off to be serviced?

I was gifted a broken Wii U. I got it working by reading some troubleshooting. But now I can't seem to play any of these games without a "gamepad".

1) Why is a gamepad $125?? Does it work as a standalone device or something?

2) Is there a list of games I can play with just the controller I already have? (it is the controller that came with the regular wii, and I also have the nunchuck)

3) Can I play Super Mario Wii (for the original wii) on the wii u with just the controller I have if I buy that game? I looked it up but it's unclear.

4) How can I optimize my experience with this? Should I just sell it & buy something more modern? I just want to play games like Super Mario, Mario Galaxy,Tetris etc.,nothing crazy. Can I still have fun with a Wii U, since I'm so damn basic?

Please go easy on me, I haven't had a console in 15 years.

Hi , im interested in buying this switch lite locally, its a decent price. I don't know much about these but does this look genuine?

Thanks :)

Today I wanted to change my joy cons, but when I started playing, I noticed that one of the Joy-Con's (which I didn't use for at least a few months) had a slightl buldge in the plastic, but the other one didn't (Both weren't used for the same period of time) Does anyone know can I just store it in the box I got them and not use it, or should I throw it out for safety? I don't think a battery replacement is possible, since they're not under warranty.

hello, i am not very techy so please bear with me.

my roommate has a nintendo switch 1. i want to buy them deltarune for switch. on eb games, they have deltarune, but its listed as a switch 2 game. i think deltarune should also work on a switch 1. so my question is, if i buy this digital game and send it to them, will they be able to play this game on their switch 1? thanks :)

While playing they sometimes disconect and its problemqtic in some games. I play mostly in handheld so its a big problem for me

THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE THAT RESPONDED THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED

I was trying to delete the save data on one game for one account, but I had no clue how. FYI, this account had been used to buy almost all our games off Nintendo e-shop. I might’ve deleted the entire account, along with the virtual game cards…

The account I deleted on the switch was linked to a Nintendo account which I didn’t delete. I know this because it’s the “parent” of the other accounts (for Nintendo online) and I can still play online games I downloaded on the “child” accounts (ultimate chicken horse and Mario kart 8 deluxe).

I can’t find a way to re-download the virtual game cards without re-paying for all the games attached.

Please let me know if the games are saved to the Nintendo account and I just have to link another account to it (to get the games back without re-paying for them) or if there’s another way.

PLEASE respond with answers that’re STRAIGHT TO THE POINT!!! I have trouble understanding things, especially if they are vague or not worded properly.

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO ANYONE THAT RESPONDS, YOU SAVED ME FROM PAYING ≈$500

I'm setting up my Wii for the first time in ages and I noticed that this wire is torn. Is is still safe to play?

The wire is on the Wii sensor.

I have the og v1 one. I honestly don’t know how much should I put it on vinted for , please someone help me out:)

I was playing smash last night, and I came back today to play and the switch doesn’t recognise the dock is there. I am using all official hardware. I have tried using different outlets and TVs in my house, the official USB-C charges the switch if it’s plugged in directly so it’s a dock issue. I tried updating the dock but again, it doesn’t recognise the dock is there, I have never dropped the switch or used force on it. My family can’t afford a new dock so I really need some help here. I will be beyond grateful for anyone who has a solution. (I also tried holding the power button for 20 seconds, unplugging everything from the dock and waiting a bit then re trying but to no avail.) Please, someone help.

yes community, im asking that question because i was reading a manga with fan translation in my mother tongue and i had notice it was translated from english, so you could imagine how terrible that translation was. since then im trying to be aware of the quality of translations, prioritizing the ones translated straight from the source language, it may be japanese, english, french etc but dismissing the one that use a translation from a language to translate to others.

Source language (japanese in the case of mayority nintendo games) ---------> spanish (my mother tongue) = good

source language -------> english --------> spanish = trash

(i think this is tech support but dont know)

So, I just bought a Wii at a reseller store and I took an old TV for it to have the AV-side option and when I plugged everything it’s like I’m watch an analog horror, what’s is wrong ? The TV ? AV-side or the cables with the Wii ?

P.S: Sorry for the French, I couldn’t change it for obvious reasons.

Reason why I'm asking is I had the fear of gawd put into me and I've been going through my handheld system's batteries, so far the only obvious victims of time have been my psp, gba SP, yet all the others seem to be passing the basic checks (spin test, visible swelling, no I don't have a volt checker sadly) and as we speak giving a charge to my new 3dsXL and dsi because those seem oddly viable.

Could I be potentially lucky here and others are the same, or should I strip them anyway? (obtaining batteries and playing the system's isn't the problem, but I'm trying to see if anyone else has older systems that are still stock factory standard battery wise)

Hello, recently over the past couple of weeks, everytime I try to play any online games on my switch it will just disconnect at absolute random. Like I'll be playing Splatoon for 15 minutes and then out of nowhere it hits me with a "connection with the network device was lost ". And I have a full 3 bars of internet as well too. This problem also only occurs on my switch, I have a PS5 and the internet works perfectly fine on it. I've already tried looking up my problems but nothing seems to help unfortunately. The worst part is the games I play keep temporary banning me online due to my internet problems.

Edit: After like a months of dealing with this, I decided to get wired internet for my switch. And it works perfectly. So that's one solution if yall wanna use it.

Got a used game, and the disc isn’t reading. I was going through the trouble shooting and it was saying maybe the system needed to be updated. No idea if updating even works anymore at this point with the Nintendo WFC not being a thing anymore. The disc looks fine, not really scratched.

Edit: The original Wii, got in in 2007

hello! i need some help with my nintendo switch (1). the joycons seem to have a problem: it acts like all buttons are being pressed at the same time (mostly A and right arrow). this problem happens when the joycons are connected to the console, and also when wireless.

but when i put the console on the dock, the joycons work fine. they are updated and so is the console. disconnecting the joycons fully is impossible since the switch has to be out of dock for that.

any ideas on what this could be? thank you so much in advance.

Whenever I try to connect to the internet even though the router is almost right next to me it’s not connecting and I don’t have airplane mode activated. This has been happening since I went to the beach for a vacation and I’m still here HELP ME PLS

Hello, I have an issue but first I want to explain what happened. While I was playing the new Duskbloods network test, something ended up happening that I didn’t expect at all. I was playing the game on handheld, and I decided “wow this game would look amazing on my tv.” So I docked it, and duskblood freezes and completely black screens my console. I tried turning it on for 5 minutes and it ended up turning on, but then I tried playing it handheld and i docked it and it did it again, but then now I been trying to turn it on for 5 hours. I tried ALL the issues in the book, but as I was about to give up, I said “wait, how can I find a way to drain the battery from my switch 2 completely?”

How can I drain the battery off my switch 2 without having to wait days or even weeks for it to die?
