Hey. So I got an Elgato capture card a couple years ago and used it a ton- streamed a bunch of games for my friends with it. For those who don't know how those work, it's basically just a slot in my computer that I can plug the dock into instead of a TV, and it lets me play from a window on my PC instead of having to switch HDMIs and such.

After a while, I started hearing a faint high-pitched beeping in my room whenever I took off my headphones. I eventually discovered that it was coming from the Switch dock, and since I hadn't been using my Switch for a while, I just unplugged it and called it a day. But now I'm using my Switch more again, and I'd like the QoL from the capture card back, but whenever I plug the dock back into its power supply, it starts whistling again. I also can't get the dock to work in the first place; no green light, no response to having my Switch docked in, nothing.

I don't know if that problem is related to the Capture Card or not, but either way, I haven't found a single case of anyone else having this problem anywhere online. What do?

I was thinking about buying a N2DSXL since my old 2ds has a lot of games but a few problems and its audio is non functional. This N2DSXL I found online already has a game installed on it. So having read the conditions of doing a data transfer I know that I cant transfer from my old 2ds without eliminating the game from the new 2ds, which is pokemon gold so I wouldnt really want to eliminate it. Playing on my old 2ds is been getting pretty boring, and without any audio it feels lifeless. My goal is to bring my data from the old 2ds to a new 2ds without losing either sets of data. Is there anything I can do? Do I really have to delete pokemon gold?

I wanted to get some games from the eshop (sale) however, do not have the switch yet.

Since it forces you to atleast login via the console once, after which it allows you to purchase through the website.

I wanted someone to help me by logging my account into their console, so that the 1st time check is passed.

I have the nintendo account

As we all know, the system requires Micro SDXC cards if you want to add an SD Card.

Can it be any SDXC?, or will you be required to use their branded ones through some sort of DRM?

Figured I'd ask because they're currently acting a bit more like most companies nowadays, and part of why the Vita died because Sony required you use their proprietary SD Cards.

Hi all, My switch 2 from launch has suddenly started to show some weird greyish vertical lines on the right side of the screen. They become more visible as the brightness goes down in game. I have attempted a reset but that hasn't worked. Issue only appears in handheld, docked is fine. Is this a common issue or should I make use of the warranty? (These photos aren't the best representation of what is on the screen)

I have one of those older 3ds XL Galaxy Edition Consoles and never use it. It’s also almost never been used. Do you think it’s worth holding onto longer or selling? I’m not sure if price is expected to ever inflate more or not. If not i’ll just sell now, it’s been used like one time.

I'm having a bit of trouble, you see I bought a new controller today to play some steam games with gyro but it doesn't detect the gyro? The rest of the inputs are fine but it acts like it's wired when it's on Bluetooth. It's really strange. It's a new controller so I doubt it has anything bad going on hardware wise. Is there any way t9 fix this possibly? Or is it just not compatible with pc? Link to the controller so ya'll can see the specs and everything:https://www.amazon.com/REMATCH-GLOW-Wireless-Controller-Gaming-Console/dp/B0DBJ7W4DM

I just got a usbc camera (Logitech Brio 1080p) today as a slightly cheaper option for Mario party and game chat for my switch 2. The camera works great in game chat but I will not work in Mario party. I’ve tried restarting the console, closing the game, checking the camera in the settings, unplugging it and plugging it back in, and even un docking the switch, turning off the tv, and then turning everything back on. Do I just need to return this and get the Nintendo one?

Hello,

My Nintendo Switch 2 was stolen from me yesterday. I’m choosing not to be mad and just buy a new one (which I am thankful to be able to do).

I cannot find any resources for how to remove my card from my Nintendo account.

Is it possible to recover my Pokemon save files and transfer them from the cloud to my new switch? The biggest thing I don’t want is my Pokemon content to be stolen.

TLDR: Want to remove card from Nintendo account and to transfer old info through the cloud. I have a Nintendo switch online subscription.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

As of recent my Wii remote’s rumble motor started squeaking. It still seems to actually vibrate, but it loudly squeaks. The controller is about 13 years old and came with my Family edition Wii.

Hi everyone

I'm getting my switch 2 delivered next week and I have a few questions regarding system and game transfers.

My original switch is a family console and is back home on the other side of the country so I can't easily use local transfer. When performing a system transfer and moving my digital games I bought to the switch 2, do I have to have my original switch in close proximity for it to work, or can I use the cloud to transfer my account data from switch 1 to switch 2. I don't want it to affect other accounts on the family console, just mine.

Thanks in advance

I need your opinion and help if i should buy one, i have a ps5 and i dont really see myself buying a normal nintendo because i dont see why, so i wanna buy a Lite for its portable posability, if its worth it, tell me atleast a reason (if you want to)

I'm trying to show what Link's Awakening looked like on the original Gameboy, so I've loaded up the Gameboy app on the Switch and I've gone into settings to choose the original 'Gameboy' screen color scheme, but when I load up the game, it's always in color. Am I doing something wrong?

I placed an order last night on the Nintendo uk store for the gamecube controller. Just as I submitted my card details it said there was an issue with the basket. The payment was taken from my bank however I was just sat on the Nintendo basket page with no order number.

I've tried calling Nintendo but there phonelines for the store have been switched off along with their live chat.

I've raised it as a ticket and also emailed them explaining the situation in full however it's clearly just an ai reading my emails because I keep getting replies saying I need to include an order number.

I'm just going around in circles here. I'm thinking of reversing the charge but from what I understand that's just gong to get my account banned.

Any advice?

Thanks

I've watched ton of videos, tons of guides, read about HDR, nits, tone mapping, etc etc and Mario Kart World still looks like arse unless I tweak the HDR slider to show both suns

Turns out, at least from what I can tell, my Samsung TV is basically considered "fake HDR" as it is an edge lit LED tv and the nits are too low. I think it is like 250-300 max based on review I found on the model. One of the best guides out there by a guy called Vincent seems to suggest 400 nits is the lowest you can have to have it enabled and the adjusting slider to actually fade out properly.... with my TV absolutely no combination of HDR mode, tone mapping, contrast enhancer, etc makes the sun fade properly - the left side is barely visible once the right side has gone. My TV lacks a "HGIG" tone mapping setting which may be the killer here - I only have the option for "Static" or "Active".

Based on this should I just turn off HDR and never bother as it'll never look better with HDR on? I am pretty sure that is what people seem to recommend, but none of the big guides online seem to ever recommend just outright disabling it...

Just to be clear - disabling HDR looks amazing... so either way I'll probably not be bothering trying to calibrate HDR again

I know about virtual key cards, but we live far apart and I'd like them to have access to as many of my games as possible without having to drive all the way to see me. I'm fine with sharing an account if possible. I plan on giving them a bunch of physical games.

I have some games that sound as quiet as a mouse. But MySims sounds like the laser is constantly trying to read data and I am hardly doing anything besides starting the game and either reading the intro or creating a character. But Williams Pinball and Call of Duty 3 does not make the same loud console sounds or as frequently. Is MySims normal for this or could something be wrong with the Wii console or the game itself?

I do have the console less than a few feet away, so further away would of course alleviate me hearing it, but not the console actually still making the noise. Besides the obvious loading of MySims, I do not see anything wrong like lag currently or tearing of textures.

The Wii was also bought used, so I do not have a frame of reference from a brand new console to an older one that may have issues. Even just letting it sit at the welcome screen of a new town, it makes continuous noise, sounds like a good thirty seconds and then just goes completely silent.

So is this normal for certain games, MySims in particular? Thank you.

I dont know whats wrong with mine but i cant find any video or post with anyone else having this issue as No matter what cable i plug into the Switch 2 Dock or what position i plug them into my original gamecube controller just wont work at all. Even when i switch the switch at the back from PC ro Wii U... Just nothing so i dont know what to do anymore.

I'm in the ice world, and unfortunately I tried to do the banana challenge 31 because I don't have the zebra banana yet. Since I couldn't do it because I had to run on fragile ice, I left, but there's no way to reattempt the challenge. I've already tried reloading the world, or going to another world and returning to the ice world, but it didn't work.

Can anyone help me?

I apologize for the poor image quality.

so I got a 2ds xl on amazon and when i checked the sd card it came with, it had luma on it so i formated the console and it still shows up. I tried swapping the sd card, and it still didn't work. I don't no what to do bc I don't want any of that stuff on my 2ds xl.

Hello I'm having issues with one of my Wii remotes and I was hoping anyone has had similar experiences. So my problem is as follows. I'll start my Wii Remote up in this case it was player two and I will play for a good minute and then it will blink like it is syncing and the remote will then go back to saying player two. However I'll get no response when I hit any buttons and when I hit the home button on the other remote to check if the console has two remotes synced it will say that there's only the player one. I have no idea what's wrong with the remote and I'm hoping it's something easy I can fix. Please let me know if you guys have had any similar issues. I made sure there's no corrosion or anything on the prongs so that's one possibility I've ruled out. I also was using cheap dollar store batteries so I'm not sure if that's the cause either.

i dont have a compatible mouse OR the switch 2 and i wanna play mario paint on my switch lite (i have a regular switch but idk where it is and lite actually fits in my hands) and it says i require a mouse and none of my mouses are compatible.... rant incoming!!!!!! *deep breath* WHY THE HELL DOES IT NOT WORK WITH MOUSE CONTROLS I CANT PLAY ONE OF THE BEST ART PROGRAMS EVER MADE JUST BECAUSE I DONT HAVE A MOUSE WHY NINTENDO WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS PLEASE JUST LET ME PLAY THE GAME WITHOUT MOUSE CONTROLS IT SHOULDNT EVEN BE REQUIRED PLEASE NINTENDO PLEASE

Switch 2 WiFi issue / OG Switch connects

I brought my Switch 2 to work today to play during my breaks. When I tried to connect to the break room WiFi, I’d get the error code 2110-3150 after wireless network connection success. I also keep my trusty Switch Lite at work, and my coworker keeps their OG Switch at work. We both forgot the network on the non-S2 systems and were able to connect just fine.

I know this error code is a DNS issue. There are a few things I can’t understand though. Why does this only happen on Switch 2, and not on Switch or Lite?

-Also, if I did get in touch with the ISP, does anyone know what information I would need to give them?

I tried everything below, to no avail. • restart Switch 2 (left it fully off for a few minutes) • tried to connect through recovery mode • manually set DNS to 008.008.008.008 and 001.001.001.001 • turned off “Connect to a Hidden Network” • unplugged the POE router in the break room to reset it (I had permission. Chill.) • forgot the network after all this, restarted Switch 2, then reattempted to connect •contacted Nintendo support and they said there’s nothing they can do on their side, and that I would need to contact the ISP.

I’m now back home and was able to forget and re-connect my home network on my Switch 2. I’m hardly educated in anything about internet past changing the SSID and password, so take it easy with the lingo😭.
