Switch 2 Thread!

Initial thoughts are that it's more of a Switch 1.5 than a Switch 2. It's a nice upgrade on the original Switch but not a transformative leap. The only real system seller new game is Mario Kart World. Personally, I'm looking forward to a new Mario or Zelda arriving, however long into the future that will be.

One nice feature I've noticed is that it's a lot quieter than the Steam Deck. I generally play it at night in bed and the Steam Deck can get very loud but this stays quiet.

Probably better guide out there but saw on IGN about playing the same game on 2 systems

I don't need it so haven't tried but might help you.

I've rang all their numbers and it just cuts out, no EU online chat, all I wanted them to do was take the old email I've no access to anymore and update it to my current email, I can't do it as I can't get a verification code off the old email address. It shouldn't be this hard. 8 emails and still nothing. This has been going on for over a year now. It wasn't so urgent as I could use my Switch 1 and still shop and my saves/island was there but now with Switch 2 I need it fixed.

I've been onto Smyths and DPD. Smyths insist it was sent on the 4th and DPD insist they haven't received it. Won't be ordering from Smyths again. I already knew DPD were useless.

Hi all,

Very happy with my Switch 2 and Mario Kart World. Played it a fair bit yesterday then turned on the TV today (LG 55 CX) and the colours looked all washed out, anyone else had this? I've switched the HDR picture mode to Vivid which has helped. Is that the best mode to use for the Switch 2 on this model of TV?

Thanks,

M

I went and bought the 10 euro tech demo which should be free but I am really enjoying it , infotainment would be the best way to class it the minigames are enjoyable and quite tough I am annoyed I cant finish it due to camera piece etc

Could be a multitude of reasons, but first things straight off the bat is to make sure the HDMI connection is up to speed before going in and making PQ changes - that means making sure you're using a suitable cable (one with the console is grand, but anything older throwaway cable may not be up to specs as there are different levels of capability nowadays), and make sure that Deep Colour is enabled on the HDMI port you are using (normally buried in the general→devices area of the TV settings).

Usually LG is set to off by default, relying on source devices to query the hardware on first setup, but it all depends what way you were using the port before. I assume you've had HDR devices on the TV before, so you know what to expect. Certainly a washed out look suggests incorrect colour space setup at work here, especially if the Switch is set to HDR output. If it looks OK with the console set to SDR output, that might indicate a simple HDMI setting on the TV.

Just came across this on Reddit. Hopefully it'll help.

Anything I log into asks for the verification from the email. It's such a hassle. I did get to log in last year without one and went to change it myself, it needed verification so that's why I asked Nintendo to step in. Still waiting.

Didn't have HGIG enabled on my LG OLED. It really does make it pop that bit more. Thanks for that.

Spent the evening getting outfits for the first two pages of characters. Go to a Yoshi food place. Get and fire the food, change character and repeat. Got most of them now but ruffian Waluigi might be my favourite now 😆
