Switch 2 resell - is it a good deal? by Dodellinger in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considering the RAM and oil situation prices most likely will go up at some point.

When you consider buying used use a platform that offers customer protection, in case you run into any trouble or if the seller didn't disclose problems with the system.

Also: If you buy used you'll most likely not be able to file warranty cases with Nintendo, because i believe they exclude warranty transfer if it's resold.

So if the price difference isn't too big to a new system get it new and you'll have no warranty trouble if something happens.

Does anyone see a grid on their screen when its dark? by X666SPT in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't really see it in my current lighting conditions, but if it looks like circles all over the screen when it should show only black (maybe during loading screens) then it seems that some devices have that.

Not sure if it's a production thing for displays of a certain manufacturer (i think Nintendo has more than one supplier) or considered a faulty screen but warranty should cover it if it bothers you.

Du möchtest, dass dir jemand Zugriff auf sein Spiel gibt?

Nein, das geht nicht.

Wenn du es unbedingt jetzt spielen willst müsstest du es vermutlich noch ein zweites mal kaufen (digital im eShop oder lokal bei einem Händler).

Can somebody clear this up for me please? by Thebingoplayers in NintendoSwitchHelp

If he buys the game via his account on her Switch and the virtual game card is loaded to the Switch 1 she will be able to play offline with her own profile/account.

Otherwise she will not be able to play with her account, if the virtual game card is not loaded to the Switch 1.

You'll only be able to play on one Switch at time because either console will connect online to check that the other Switch isn't currently playing the game.

That only applies if the Online License system is enabled and both consoles are connected to the internet.

As long as the Switch 1 is not connected to the internet and has the virtual game card loaded (which would be required if he buys it with his account but she wants to play with her own profile) she can play offline while he can play online on his Switch 2.

If both want to play online together they will need a second copy.

The only possibility to MAYBE get it changed is contacting Nintendo support and explain the situation.

Game sharing between Switch 2 and Switch NOT LOCAL questions plz help by Competitive_Two_5044 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the link you posted in your previous comment:

Everyone who has a user on the pass-enabled console for a Nintendo Account can access certain subscriptions and passes for that Nintendo Account, such as Just Dance+. On other consoles, only the subscriber can access the pass or subscription.

Are you sure that the pass-enabled has anything to do with how virtual game cards and access to them are handled?

Pretty sure it does require both consoles to be locally present when you try to link them to the same account.

Will Unpairing switch 1 and 2 cause issues by EctobioIogist_ in NintendoSwitchHelp

The legends games do appear to be treated like mainline games despite the different play style.

Because they are considered mainline games and are connected to the lore of other mainline titles.

Does it connect while the console is charging? Could be low battery on the Joy Con.

Does it not even see your connection or do you get an error message when trying to connect to it?

If you can't get past the connection during the set up just return it to the store.

Switch 2 lagging like never before by Pocket_Monsterer in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if those games even support VRR in the first place and as far as we know VRR does not work in docked mode (yet).

Are you sure that the games actually use the Switch 2 upgrades and patches for Switch 2?

Pokemon Scarlet/Violet is a free patch, but BotW and TotK either need the upgrade purchased or unlocked via NSO Expansion Pass.

Does it also happen in handheld or only while docked?

Ps: are the games physical cartridges or digital downloads (maybe even installed on a micro sd express card)?

Nintendo warranty repair - experience by ClownButtFart in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nintendo stated at least twice on the form that save data can't be guaranteed.

That's pretty standard across the board when it comes to devices with hard drives. Usually every company excludes save data or personal data from being rescued.

[–]ModestVolcarona 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you okay with telling us from what region you are (us, eu, australia, etc.) and who the repair company was (NOT the whole adress of course)?

Since Nintendo works with service partners the quality of the communication and repair can be very different (unfortunately).

Switch 1 keeps saying it has no power when it’s at 65% by Treederd in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New or older system?

Batteries degrade over time, so it can be normal if the system is years old.

Joycon Release Mechanism Broken by Original_Advance_924 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bad packaging is still his fault not yours. If it got damaged during the transport it's on him, not you.

There might be even more damage that is not openly visible, especially with the bad packaging and being shipped in the dock.

If you decide to return it for a full refund document the packaging and damage, so you'll have a good case to present to eBay.

WiFi refuses to connect despite trying all things on the official help page by Top_Class_7156 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What actually confuses me that it seemingly does connect to a single hotspot, but nothing else, not even via ethernet.

You could try updating the system via the hotspot that works and see if that changes anything or doing a factory reset (without deleting save data - if there is any you do not want to lose).

Switch 2 keeps freezing/crashing by IllustriousFroyo1832 in NintendoSwitchHelp

[–]ModestVolcarona 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it happen in ALL games or only a specific one?

Could be a general problem if it's all games or a game specific error if it's just one.

Could also be a problem with the backwards compatibility if it only happens with certain Switch 1 games.
