r/Switch

You really can't beat that price.

Hey all, I've been thinking for a long time wheter I should buy a switch or not and I think I've finally came to a conclusion that I'll be getting it. My last "worry" so to speak is when do games like zelda or mario go on sale or do they ever go on sale. I've been thinking that the first game I would get is zelda breath of the wild and it would suck a little to buy it for full price, only for it to go on sale a week later. So does nintendo have any schedule or something that tells people when they have big sales so I'll know when the best time to buy games is?

Hi! Just recently bought a Switch OLED (in the hopes it'll assist in helping me to de-stress a bit). My gaming knowledge is 0. Think I've only ever played games like Mario Kart, Pokémon, GTA (leisurely), and Cooking Mama.

So basically, I am in dire need of recommendations.

Love anything with a great storyline but I'm also pretty open to anything :)

Thank you so much in advance!

Hello!! I was wondering what’s your favorite and what’s some of the best Nintendo switch games that aren’t on any other platforms?

So I’m a dad and rarely have time to game anymore. Between my 11 year old playing the Xbox 24/7 and my 6 year old hogging up the tv, by the time they go to bed I have no energy to game.

Thinking of picking up a switch lite to play on the coach when just lounging around! Anyone else do this? Is it worth getting?

I would barely have time to dock and play so that is why I’m thinking the lite!

Edit: Thank you all so much for all the responses! I guess I should explain that I also was looking at the Switch Lite over the OLED basically on the factor's of Switch 2 supposedly coming out next year, and the switch lite being one complete piece. I do travel for work from time to time, and I'd like to throw the device in my work bag to play on lunch breaks. Overall I think Switch Lite would be best bet for all of that!

Looking to buy one or the other and wondering which I should get.. I am leaning toward Paper Mario but it looks like Luigi Mansion is selling a lot more (because its better?)

I played Paper Mario original release forever ago and remember enjoying it a lot, but I only borrowed it so I didnt get far. Never played any Luigi Mansion

Hello I never had nintendo before and the nintendo switch is my first, i’m eager to play zelda, but I don’t want to buy one before I try the old ones in the online membership. I am more into the story than the gameplay, so please which one is the best regarding this and easy to follow.

I'm mostly unsure because I keep hearing about terrible drift issues. Otherwiseit seems perfect. (I would also like to note that I will mostly be using it for mario kart 8 (but idk how relevant that is))

So my Switch suddenly died, but I had the data backed up on an SD card. It had to be factory reset for the repair, so all my system data was lost. When loading up the SD card with the backed up data, it says it has to delete the SD card data since the card was formatted for a different Switch.

Is there a way to finagle the backup SD card data so that my repaired Switch will accept it? FYI, I don’t have Nintendo Online backup, so that is not a viable option.

I have tried:

Copying to PC, then copying to a new SD card (same message received that SD card needs to be deleted)

Formatting a new SD card to the repaired Switch, then copying the old data to the newly formatted SD card (data is not recognized by New Switch)

can a USB C to HDMI adaptor work on a switch lite so it can run on a monitor

Hey all, a new charging dock was just bought for me so I could charge my Joycons (its a PowerA charging dock). i only have a switch lite and the joycons (i bought the joycons off ebay and they work great), so im only able to charge the joycons via the dock by itself. i also only have a third-party AC adapter charger thing to which i had plugged the USB of the dock in...but the dock only blinks green, then red, then it turns off right after i plug the USB in. And when i slide my joycons into the dock, the lights do not turn on to say its charging. i also tried plugging the USB into my laptop and it didnt work either. i Really need help with wondering what's wrong with it as i didn't buy the dock myself and don't wanna go through consequences, so any comments would be greatly appreciated.

I bought a switch off of e-bay and it came with the splat on 3 joy-cons. They work fine except for when they connect to Ring Fitness's Ring-con specifically. I tried to update the controllers but whenever I try to it says connection lost. I've tried having them directly connected to the switch but that isn't working either. Is there a fix for this?

Edit: The Ring-con works fine with other controllers, but my other one died so I tried using this one.

I don't have a Switch and I would really like to play Super Mario 3D World (had a lot of fun w/ Super Mario 3D Land on 3DS years ago), and I saw that the Switch Lite is a lot less expensive than the regular. I don't really have any experience with the Switch so I was wondering if any of you know if parts/functions of the game are inaccessible/not playable when using a Lite instead of a regular Switch. I don't care about multiplayer functionality if that makes a difference. No game spoilers please ty! :D Sorry if this is the wrong space for this question
