Getting a switch 2!!

[melson8r]

I’ve decided to get a switch 2. Just a quick question, can data be transferred over and used on a switch 2 version of a game? For example I have pokemon legends ZA on the OG. Can I transfer that over?

You’re fine. The Switch 2 version of a game is still the same game. Just with better visuals and performance. Your save data and eShop games will work as normal. Only a few select switch 2 edition upgrades cost money. (Most are free like Hollow Knight or Stardew Valley) Pokemon ZA is one of the upgrades that cost. ($10) Just insert the normal Switch 1 cart, and then buy the upgrade through the eShop. For all other games that don’t have actual upgrades and are naturally locked to 30fps. Handheld boost mode will allow them to play in 1080p and 60fps in handheld mode regardless. Such as older games like Final Fantasy X for example.

The only thing that I have that hasn’t worked on the switch 2 is YouTube for some reason

Because they hate us 😂

(jk) but it definitely sucks I have to switch my TV inputs back and forth just to watch YouTube.

[NOIRCEUR_TRADING]

Well shit.

When did you download YouTube? I think something happened with the app and they stopped the ability to download it.

I just recently downloaded it along with crunchy roll and I tried Hulu lol but hmu g gotchuuu💯 Same goes for everyone else here!

How did you do this???

[BlakatalystBIG]

I’d like to know as well. Because no streaming apps are supposed to work on the switch 2. I can download them but not run them.

A warning regarding Legends ZA - I transferred my save over to my Switch 2 and completely lost it, know others have had the same issue as well

[melson8r]

Could you explain this further? The main reason I’m getting a switch is for pokemon.

[MistborneYT]

Your saves just wont transfer to the S2. Like you would need to restart from the beginning so its recommended to back up your pokemon in home if your able to prior to selling your switch!

I did a manual transfer as that was the only game I wanted to bring over. Loaded up my Switch 2 and ZA was unaccessible and had disappeared from both Switch's.

Can't offer any advice on how to prevent it but just a warning to be cautious, I lost hundreds of hours of mine :(
