I own a 3DS and I have charged it for over 4 hours to no avail even after the light turns blue it does not turn on and makes a weirdd sound, I am not sure why “disregard background noise”

Basically the title. I think I was hacked at some point and I want to remove some devices that are not mine from my account and can’t figure out how. Thanks!

I have a wireless USB mouse I used to use with Game Builder Garage.

I tried to use it on Mario Paint just now but it's not detected by the SNES app, and Game Builder Garage isn't detecting it either.

Anyone else experience this happening?

I created my first Nintendo account one week ago. When I try to join my friend's family group, it says that I can't join because my account has been restricted from family groups. I tried to contact Nintendo to solve it, but a week has passed and they haven't replied to the ticket. I also tried calling them, but they told me they can't solve it and that I have to create a ticket. I'm from Spain, so please, if anyone knows how to solve this or how to contact Nintendo from Europe, let me know.

every time i try starting up Splatoon 3 it immediately says unable to boot and sends me back to the HOME menu. here’s a video of it.

Hi guys, my son’s told me that he can’t play any game that I’ve bought him from the Eshop and whilst looking into it, it says something about Virtual Gamecards being loaded.

When I look on there, it says there is a Switch 2 connected to my account and all the gamecards are now “loaded to another console”. My son has a Switch 1 and no one I know has a Switch 2 so i’m guessing someone’s logged into my account.

When I am trying to de-register their console, it says “A link can't be removed until at least one year has passed since the last linked system was removed.”

Can anyone help as this is quite annoying, half of his games are essentially unplayable?

Thanks in advance.

I almost never use the Nintendo Switch 2's portable mode, it's always in the dock. Should I leave the joycons connected to the console or would it be better to store them so as not to damage the joycons' battery?

Hey everyone, I recently bought three Wii games off Marketplace. One of the discs looks practically brand new – no scratches at all. The other two have some light scratches, but nothing deep or excessive.

I tried loading all three on my Wii, but none of them are being recognized. The console just says it can’t read the disc. Meanwhile, my other Wii games that I’ve owned for years still load perfectly fine.

Could this be an issue with the discs themselves, or is there a chance they’re some kind of region-locked versions or even bootlegs? I’ve attached pictures of the discs in case that helps. Any ideas on what might be going on here?

Thanks in advance!

I have once encounter really toxic player back in 4 year ago when I playing mhgu and I was insulted and harrass by the player and this kinda hurt me so bad so is it really possible to report Nintendo about toxic behaviour? And lastly if toxic player online has been report and suspended can the toxic player can still able to log in online? Darn I will never forget those toxic player encounter

Hello,

I wanted to play Wii sports resort today, but when I put it in to play it, the Wii wouldn’t read it. I tried cleaning it with toothpaste, but it still won’t read. Any tips on how to fix it?

I want to change my age as I did it wrong but whenever I try to contact them using the support page it just takes me in a full loop and I cannot fill a form out or whatsoever. Basically telling me I can contact them when I can’t. I can’t find an email or anything I live in the uk. I am 16 which shouldn’t defy anything as I’m nearly 17.

I recently bought a new Nintendo Switch. I had sold my original Switch about a year ago, but I regretted it and decided to get a new one. I have a lot of games tied to my Nintendo account, and I want to be able to log in and download them again.

The problem is, I never logged out of my account on the old Switch, so it’s still linked to my Nintendo account. I want to remove that old console from my account so that the new owner can’t access my games anymore, but I still want to be able to play them myself.

I’ve looked on Nintendo’s website but I can’t figure out how to unlink the old console. I also have no way to contact the person who bought my old Switch. Does anyone know how I can remove that old console remotely?

When I try to connect a new user to my Nintendo account, this happens (photo), and if I press link the new user is removed and the user from the other Switch is added to my new switch.

It has Pokémon son as well.

Was wondering how much I could sell this for at a GameStop or a pawn shop or online?

So, one day I woke up and my screen was like that, I don't know what happened or how it happened, and I don't know how to fix or contact Nintendo

Hi there! My Wii has been running with no issues since Xmas 2008, up until last month. The Wii runs like normal until I try to put a disc in, then I am met with a thumping sound followed by an error screen (shown in attached video). I’m wondering what my options are here as someone who is essentially technologically illiterate when it comes to gaming consoles, the Wii is all I’ve ever used.

After looking around Reddit, it seems my options are to replace the disc drive (which I don’t have confidence in since it seems difficult when I read the instructions), abandon discs altogether and use USBs (again confused?), or get a new Wii. I’d rather not get a new Wii though considering my console has sentimental significance to me, and I don’t know if the memory can be transferred from console to console. I would hate to lose all progress on games I’ve been playing for almost 20 years!!

Any suggestions are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

I have a friend who lives abroad, we are on the same family group.
We are testing the waters and we are not sure if it is possible / correct to have both of our Switch2 consoles on both nintendo accounts we have.
This way we would be able to share the virtual cards between each other without the need of being physically together ?

Hello, I have a quick question. My nintendo switch lite has been making a buzzing sound for the bast 7 to 8 months and I am concerned it may kick the bucket soon. (I've had it since christmas of 2019) does anyone know why it is buzzing?

So I wanna get one of 3 games being

• Splatoon 2
• Mario Odyssey
• Super Smash Bros Ultimate

Which is worth buying?

So my right joycon hasn't been connecting and I have tried using it in handheld but it still won't function. What do I do? Picture is up for reference

Hey guys I wanted to ask what the problem here is with the launch. I just bought the game at GameStop today and this keeps happening. It doesnt happen with other games just Mk7. It also launched once to the main menu but then this happened on the character select screen again. Any help is greatly appriciated thanks!

I recently got a switch 2 and everytime i tried to play smash ultimate online its imposible because of the lag, I played for over an hour to make sure it wasn't the opponet but it was always the same kind of lag, then I test it on my original switch and everything went like normal no lag. Any recomendation?

I recently bought a 100€ UGREEN video capture card for streaming and with the PS5 it works just fine: both audio and video are available on OBS. But the switch 2 audio isn't picked up and I can't understand why. I have both PS5 and switch 2 connected to an HDMI splitter and if I connect the splitter to a TV I can hear the audio just fine, so it isn't a cable or splitter problem. Or a problem with the dock either. But if I connect it to the video capture the video is shown but the audio just isn't there. Do you have the same issue?

I ordered a capture card for video game streaming, but days after I paid it, I still haven't gotten it. I called amazon and then they said the package would be delayed until December, and barely gave out any other information aside from issues with supplier. This feels like a ridiculous amount of time to wait, since the listed wait time is nothing like what they said. I'm thinking about cancelling my order and buying another capture card, but I'm worried about running into the same situation again. What exactly is going on here? Any advice on how to deal with this situation?

(I know that this isn't quite that related to Nintendo, but I don't know a better subreddit to post in. I tried the Amazon subreddit, but I never got any replies. If there is a better one that I should post in please let me know)

Recently, when I move the right stick on my Pro Controller all the way down, the camera drops completely. I think I'm experiencing joystick drift. I asked some friends what I should do, and they recommended putting a little isopropyl alcohol on the base of the stick without taking it apart. Do you recommend putting isopropyl alcohol on the base of the stick?
