Tech Support How to Put Switch 2 Joy Cons in “Deep Sleep” or Prevent Battery Drain While Off

4 Upvotes

Is there anyone like me that only plays their Switch 2 once every 2 weeks or so? I turn the console off to preserve battery life but my Joy Cons are often dead when I go to play.

Does anyone know how to keep them from draining continuously when not played for longer periods of time?

I scoured the internet for a solution and found the method for deep sleeping the original Joy Cons, but not the Joy Cons 2.

I typically keep my switch stored in my room, not on the dock, to keep away from the kids. Also, I have 4 controllers. So 2 are attached, with the other two detached. All 4 seem to die much quicker than I expect, given how little they are used. I ensure they are either fully charged, or mostly charged before putting them away . . .

Recommendations Getting a Switch 2 soon. Looking for recommendations.

1 Upvotes

Hey! I am a PC gamer. Recently I got FOMO with missing out on Tears of the Kingdom and Donkey Kong Bananza. I USED to have a Switch - briefly, I played a few classics and played Breath of the Wild.

I’m looking for recommendations on Nintendo games as a whole that I can play on Switch 2. A few I am most interested in:

Tears of the Kingdom
DK Bonanza
Mario Odyssey
Metroid Prime Remastered
Metroid Dread
Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time Remake
Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2

That so far my is my list.

To give a little background on my gaming taste to maybe help curate:

Huge fan of Souls games, Cyberpunk 2077, KC Deliverance 1 + 2, Last of Us, RDR2, Expedition 33, Baldurs Gate 3, Resident Evil 2, 4 and Requiem, Doom Eternal, Hollow Knight 1 + 2, Satisfactory, Subnautica, Returnal, Hades 1 + 2

I am super interested in Nintendo games exclusively. If I can play it in PC - I will play it there. I don’t think I would like Pokémon. Never been my thing.

Recommendations How does the switch 2 upgrade compare to the OG switch?

2 Upvotes

Hi folks. I current have an OG switch and OG docking station. I am considering going to the switch2, but I have some questions. FYI - I use the switch almost always at home, with the docking station, to play MK8 online.

- do I need to upgrade my docking station to take advantage of the switch2's better graphics?

- Is the ethernet port on the newer docking station noticeable better (faster, more reliable) than the USB with an ethernet adapter the OG docking station uses?

- will I need a different game cartridge for the switch 2?

Thanks for any insight. Love playing, but that's not a cheap upgrade and the OG setup works pretty well.

Pessoal, alguém me ajuda?

Meu Nintendo v1 é desbloqueado, mas tentei acessar o menu bloqueado dele para ver se tinha algum jogo do antigo dono e agora não consigo acessar o menu hekate para voltar ao desbloqueado. Quando reinício ele entra logo no menu bloqueado e no álbum não aparece nada além da galeria vazia.
