    While the screen definitely isn’t OLED, it’s a massive improvement over my old launch Switch 1. Lovely, popping colours - just missing those perfect OLED blacks.

    Great to finally play Nintendo games properly on a 4K screen too. And 60FPS Zelda is transformative - really amazing seeing that in action after it so clearly pushed the old hardware to its limits.

    Spotted that. You can’t order them for collection though which is weird, says you can purchase in store.

    You sure ? Probably store dependant, but working for click and collection here (Jervis for example)

    They’re likely the handful of consoles that weren’t collected by pre-orderers.

    Most likely, nearly all gone now (Marios obviously went first)

    Workmate was able to grab a Mario click and collect out in Carrickmines, so she's happy. Still a handful of standard down the country.

    Apparently there were 3m Switch 2 sold in the first 24 hours. Very impressive.

    For anyone on the hunt, Currys in Carlow have 3 for sale behind the counter. Non-bundle ones that is. Not available via the website it looks like.

    Thanks @McDermotX. I switched HDMI port and it seems to be fine now. I'll dig into that Reddit post in a while to see if I can make it even better!

    Cheers,

    Is that email address account deleted or you have also forgotten the password to that account? If it's a case that the account was deleted, and it's something like yahoo, gmail, hotmail, etc, then you could try re-create that email address. If you have lost the password to that email account, then you might have better luck recovering access to the email account.

    In Nintendo's defence, contacting support and claiming that you "lost access to the email" is a common phishing tactic a malicious person could use to gain access to your account. Especially when tied to MFA.

    Activating MFA would have made you make note of backup codes, for this very event where you cannot access the MFA code.
