Switch 2 Thread!

The likes of me and you, who aren't professional gamers, are probably never going to get an injury from gaming. Slap a bit of voltarol on and rest it for a day or 2 and we would be fine. I bought a pro-controller 1 2 years ago and it's the job, much better build quality than a lot of the chinese ones out there

First Drag X Drive debo is today from 11am-3pm. Anyone going to try it?

Thanks both, will have a look at the suggestions

I assume it'll work on the switch 2?

No NFC on most of the third party controllers so amiibo scanning won't work.

Does your son have a full account (linked to an email address) or just a local account on the switch 2?

I got this Voyee Controller from amazon. Works fine once connected but every time the console is restarted it needs to be reconnected manually by getting the joycons or a pro controller and going to into 'change grip/order' screen. So it's a bit annoying if you want to use it as your main controller you need to always have joycons or a pro controller on hand as well. Tried going to settings>controllers & accessories and hit update but it just hangs at 0%. Is there any way to have it reconnect automatically when console is switched on or is this just the way it is with third party controllers?

IIRC for us it depended on the startup sequence. I think we turned on the console, then turned on the Voyee, the other way round and the console wouldnt pick up the controller. I'll need to check and I'll post back.

Switch 1, OLED or Switch 2. First two try to source broken ones on adverts Facebook marketplace or eBay with a working screen so you have parts already.

If a Switch 2 it's going to cost a fortune and due to being only two months old might be difficult to find parts, go back to where you bought it ask for repair or contact details for Nintendo as it is accidentally damaged you might get it repaired for cost but I can't see any local fixer upper being available as of yet.

hi folks im looking to buy the switch2, is there a best/cheapest place to purchase at the moment?

Not really. The console doesn't go on sale often.

Best prices seem to be on Amazon.ie

Switch 2 console - €454.09 - Currently out of stock but normally €470 in shops.

Switch 2 console and Mario Kart World combo - €493.20 (normally €510 in most shops) - this is better value as MKW is RRP €90

Keep an eye on Adverts. I picked up mine along with a case and screen protector for €380. Got Mario Kart World on CDKeys (loaded now) for €44, so €424 total.

Slightly underwhelmed by the machine itself, the bigger screen is nice but I definitely miss the colours and quality of the OLED one. Mario Kart is fine, but just more Mario Kart really.

I've got Hades 2 preloaded and will pick up Star Wars Outlaws too, but the memory card price is a bit of a killer - €100 for a 512gb card stings.

Mainly used by the kids, coming from Switch 1 though they really enjoy the larger screen and MKW is a great game. The 4K when connected to a external screen is also much better.
