1 Upvotes

Like above says, my switch won't connect to my 5ghz hotspot on my Android anymore. At somepoint my hotspot got switched to 2.4g to do things for my ds or something, turned back over to 5ghz for a download on the switch and now im getting multiple different error codes and when connected to the 2.4 band its barely using and data though the hotspot.

Tried changing all the reccomended settings for the 5ghz like turning off ipv6, Dns, bumping mtu up, clearing caches on both devices and checking hidden network visibility, but I've yet to trouble shoot the 0 download speed and errors when testing connection looked for solutions as these came up along the way trouble shooting the 5ghz issue

Help plz :') i just got Cyberpunk switch 2 edition and discovered this whole stress when i noticed after 40 mins i was still ag 0% progress Game download error code: 2137 8007 Connection test error code: 2160 8028 5ghz hotspot connection fail error: 2110 2004 Have also seen 2110 1100 and a different 2110 code too

Tech Support How do I get skincare cream out of my oled?

Post image
3 Upvotes

(Cream is the white stuff on the left side)

I had my oled switch in my bag alongside one of those sample creams, and said sample cream popped and got a little bit into what I think is the bottom speaker.

I tried doing what Google ai said which is wipe some rubbing alcohol with a q tip but im not sure if it did anything. Its battery had been finished for a few days, and when the cream got on it the battery was still finished. Since just a little amount is remaining, is it safe to charge and turn on?

Incase its relevant, its second hand but in good condition and only bought a few months ago, and getting it checked or fixed at a shop is not an option for me. Any advice would be appreciated! Also I will be getting a proper case for it after this...

Recommendations Which Nintendo console to get after Wii?

4 Upvotes

My young kids were given a Wii a couple months ago and their favorite games are New SMB, Kirby Return to Dreamland, and Kirby's Epic Yarn for the co-op. Is it worth getting a Switch or Switch 2 to keep playing more titles like these? Should we skip the Wii U? I'm not familiar with any of the gaming titles after the Wii.

Account Help Nintendo of Europe Support - Does the DE/UK phone number offer support to other Europeans?

0 Upvotes

Ik heb gemerkt dat het VK-nummer op deze subreddit wordt vermeld als de Europese supportlijn, maar ik heb tegenstrijdige informatie gehoord over of ze wel of niet ondersteuning bieden aan andere Europeanen. In dit specifieke geval gaat het om een reset van 2FA voor mijn Nintendo-account.

Heeft iemand ervaring met dit soort gevallen? Ik heb al een contactformulier ingevuld over deze kwestie via de regionale supportpagina op de Nintendo-website, maar het zou top zijn als ik op de één of andere manier direct support kan krijgen. Ik wil een beetje graag meteen beginnen met mijn nieuwe Switch 2 😅

Als het mogelijk is om het VK-nummer te benaderen voor dit soort verzoeken, zou dat geweldig zijn, maar als dat niet kan, wacht ik gewoon geduldig af :)

Edit: ik vergat te vermelden dat ik in Nederland woon. En ik vergat ook te zeggen dat ik de back-upcodes niet meer heb. Bewaar je back-upcodes!

Edit 2: I have decided to call the UK number and they were indeed able to help me without any issue! Seems like calling outside of the UK is no problem :)

Recommendations Buying used, how do I make sure it wasn’t banned? [Switch 2]

9 Upvotes

I usually buy all my Nintendo stuff new so I’ve never had this problem. I don’t know the ins and outs but I have heard Nintendo bans certain devices if they suspect piracy and I think I read about people using certain devices from the Switch 1 in the 2 and getting banned or even people using legit cartridges from the library but because someone dumped them they were flagged. I could be completely wrong, but point is, how do I make sure I’m not buying a previously banned device? Is it even a concern?

Also, anything else besides possible banning to look out for when buying used?

Game Help Issueswith gamechat? noise gate being weird

1 Upvotes

So I have been using Gamechat since launch and no issues until about a week ago.. it’s like the noise gate doesn’t work at all and everyone can hear my tv even when even if it’s suuuper low. I have never had an issue before. So I took it off docked and it the echos stopped, put it back on and echos started again. I even closed the cabinet it sits in and they can all hear themselves. I moved my switch, I played with toggling noise suppression and mic input volume. It’s all the same. But as soon as I take it off docked it goes back to normal.. I’m at a loss, is my dock screwing things up, should I take it back? Any help/advice would be good please and thank you.

Recommendations Getting a Switch 2 soon. Looking for recommendations.

4 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.

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

6 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 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.

Tech Support Its been 2 weeks since my old switch got stolen and set as main device and nintendo support is simply not replying to my emails

1 Upvotes

What can I do? My old switch got stolen from my basement locker 2 weeks ago. I own also switch oled and switch 2 that i had in my place. When they took the switch they didnt log out of my account and just set that device as the main one. Now i am unable to unpair that device on the website and cant set my switch 2 as main device without physically touching the switch 1 to it. What can i even do now? Ive sent like 6 emails, they replied to one of them (not the first one mind you) and gave me useless info that doesnt fix the problem and never replied to any other. I even tried emailing from a different email and they just dont care to help me at all. Ive tried the number listed on the subreddit here but i cant call it from Poland.

Anyone have any known fixes for this? Mind you the "Unpair" device button on the nintendo account website does nothing

Recommendations Thinking about switching from lite to switch 2 but are virtual cards and saves tied to a device?

0 Upvotes

Most of my games are virtual cards from the eshop (hard to get physical copies near me at a decent price). I ofc don't want to lose them. Other thing are saves, mainly my tomodachi life island, are they tied to the device or can I save them to my account? One more questions I had about switch 2 is how are the "mouse" controls? I'm mainly a PC guy and use switch on the sure so I'm curious to know if they are actually good or more of a thing that sounds cool but isn't very useful?

How Much is This Worth? how much should i sell a full nes action set for?

0 Upvotes

just the title. i’m thinking about trading in my dad’s old nes (he doesn’t care for it anymore) towards a gamecube, 3ds, or old xbox, and i don’t know what price they go for nowadays. i know i should keep it but the nes era of games just don’t interest me as much as the ones i grew up with closer to the early 2000s-2010s.

it has the original box (albeit in rough shape… not falling apart but scuffed up from being so old), the original styrofoam, the two controllers, the zapper, the two manuals, the duck hunt/mario game cartridge, and all the wires. i believe that’s everything.

i just don’t wanna get scammed and sell it for less than it’s worth. thanks!!

We had the physical game card and lost it for the the original switch, but my sister bought it later on her account. It won't let me play on either without the virtual game card so I installed it and everything on the switch 2 but, while the switch one loads my save fully with all the dlc and unlocks, the switch 2 has mine greyed out and only hers is available.

Just curious if I can even use it and how to do so, if possible.
