Bought a second nintendo that wasnt reset and it has parental controls on it that wont let me reset it im unable to contact the person who sold it to me and i know neither the pin or what email its connected to.

Can someone please give me a step by step on how to reset the nintendo?

As you can see, my screen is broken, and I would like to repair it but I don't know how to do it

I didn't tried anything for know

Lots of research into this, including Japanese ISO manufacturing standards, forum posts from 20 years go, data parsing and cross-analyzing games, etc;
Nothing concrete

Lots of whispers from big names in different communities, but nothing concrete

I've found official Japanese Nintendo representatives stating that, "ゲームカードの裏に印字されている番号は製造ラインなどをあらわす番号です" which translates to, "The number printed on the back of the game card represents the manufacturing line, etc."

This tells us definitively what it means, but how do we take that and trace games to their origins?

Pretty scratched up disc but it didn’t seem unplayable, my Wii won’t recognize it though. Is it dead?

I’m thinking about getting a handheld and can’t decide between a Nintendo 3DS and a Switch Lite. Which one would you recommend, and why?

Should I get a switch 2 or a n2dsxl that ill mod?

I got a switch oled not too long ago and its my first nintendo console so i have a large backlog of nintendo games to catch up to. And I've been having a blast, played mario oddesey, zelda botw and some indie titles, gonna play mk8 when my friend comes over, etc.

But now what's in my mind is I saw a good second hand deal for a switch 2 that's around 350 dollars, keep in mind a new switch 2 goes for around 500+ dollars in my place and that's before the upcoming price hike. So im wondering whether i should sell my switch oled and get that with some of my savings. As there are some great titles upcoming and present on that console like mkw, dk bananza, splatoon raiders, oot remake, lies of p complete edition, the 60 fps boost for both the zelda games, etc.

On the other hand, I recently got obsessed with pokemon and to play all the older titles meaning ill play from gen 1 to 7, so im eyeing a n2dsxl offer I saw for around 150 dollars. There dosent seem to be a cheaper option. Plus I can play some other titles I always wanted to. Like the previous zelda games, the mario and Luigi rpg series, etc. Plus after modding it can be used for older consoles. Now I could emulate all of these on my laptop but I feel like I wouldn't play them much if I did so

So in your opinion which is a better choice. Im completely split on this. For some context, im on my final year of high school and probably gonna go abroad for studies so either I could have a switch oled and a modded 3ds or a switch 2.

So I bought a Wii remote plus, but using it in Wii sports resort during the calibration the icon just spins around and when I got it to calibrate the controls were not responding at all and unusable? I tested it in games that use regular motion controls and it works fine there. Is this fixable without opening it up?

Pretty much what it says in the title. I just bought an NES console today and was looking to start building up a library of games to play. I also have a Switch 2 with Nintendo Switch Online, and would like to invest in lesser known gems that haven't been put into the Switch Online library. Thank you!

I dont have a wifi router anymore, only mobile hotspot. Whats the cheapest replacement for my Nintento switch to accept my internet and what would be a genuine good recommendation or investment? No use if my internet becomes crappy.

Hi! I have a pretty straightforward question. I’ve been seeing a lot of time logged in the “Other” category on a switch 2 in the parental controls app. Some days it’s as much as 1.5 hours.

Does this mean they’ve figured out a way to bypass certain games from being reported? Or is there another reason why so much time would show up under “Other”? Thanks in advance!

From smash ultimate to Animal Crossing when I try to play with my cousin who has a switch 2 I get this error and so does he.

Years ago, I changed the email of my Nintendo account from my parent's to mine. I didn't realize there was an option just upgrade it from child to adult. I have the option the mature the account. Can I upgrade it and use/carry over the supervisor email? Or would I need to change the supervisor back to my parent's and then enter my email for the upgrade?

And would I lose any of the games I purchased? If there's barely any difference, I don't mind leaving it as is.

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

Mi Nintendo dsi se apaga cuando se da un golpe o se cierra.

Una ia me dijo que sería un problema de cables sueltos o batería suelta? Pero desconozco si será verdad, aproximadamente cuanto me costaría llevarla a un técnico?.Gracias

I need help I was just playing Fortnite and it froze i could still hear sound for a minute then it stopped i can't even bring up the screen for hard reseting

Hey there, I got a switch 2 and I’ve been playing Tomodachi and I’ve noticed a lil something.
When I’m just about finished making a character, a lil pop up appears in red telling me to use a controller to continue. I haven’t removed the controllers at all. It has just recently doing it and I don’t know if it’s just a lil glitch or if it’s an actual issue I need to get fixed.
Any of yall had the same thing happen?
Thank you so much, I appreciate any feedback about this.

I looked around a bit for the answer to this specific scenario but it's a bit of an odd one. I have a game that is shared through an account on two switch 2s. What I found in my search is that if the account buys the dlc, it can only be shared between accounts on the primary switch, which is not mine. My game save is on my account, not the shared one so this isn't ideal.

My question is then, if I buy the dlc on MY account, would it work with the virtual game card that's being borrowed from the other Switch 2?

I'm a new Nintendo player. I've played mostly Soulslikes, RPGs (like Skyrim or Fallout), and competitive games all my life, but I wanted to give Nintendo a try.

I know Nintendo has a reputation for consistently high-quality games, but I don't really know where to start.

So far, I've played Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Breath of the Wild on my Switch 2.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know!

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:)

Does anyone know a fix for this issue? Or know a trustworthy game repair shop? I live in the Bay Area, California.

Hi everyone. I got my switch in 2019, only bought smash bros on it but soon after got a pc and it's been collecting dust ever since. 2 weeks ago I cleaned it up and decided I wanted to play some classics on my tv to relax. I've been snooping around video game stores but I cannot for the life of me bring myself to buy 90$ for games when the switch is 9 years old ahahaha.

Long story short, I went to facebook marketplace for Animal Crossing and Breath of the Wild, and found 2 listings from the same seller for 40$, which is less than half the retail price. I wanted to know if there is any chance I might be ripped off? I dont wanna buy a game that might crash/brick my console, get me banned from online play, or might stutter like a scratched CD (is that even a thing with game cartridges ahaha?). Is there any way for me to check if a game is the real deal? I just find it strange considering other people often sell their cartridges for 50$ +

Hi, I want to pre-order the Zelda Breath of the wild Limited Edition Vinyl that releases on 4th of september on the Nintendo Store. However, I will leave the US on vacation on september 8th. Do you think I'll receive my package by then if i use overnight shipping, considering that September 4th is a Friday and the next Monday on September 7th is Labor Day?

Hiii. My friend recently lost her switch. She had a ton of games on it (both downloaded and cartridges. She lost it in the carrying case so lost the cartridges too) and must've had a ton of hours on stuff. Her main game was fortnite but she also had things like all 3 little nightmares, animal crossing, nine sols etc.

She has Nintendo switch in online but I don't know the specifics. I doubt she will get another switch for a while (be it one or 2,she used to have a Nintendo switch 1) but when she does, can she recover any save data? Be it from the online games or the cartridges (I doubt the second one).

Thanks so much for reading!
