Hi all,

So, I lost my Switch 1 copies of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom while traveling😭, but I still have the save files on my NSO cloud and on my Switch 1 as save data. I really prefer physical copies, so I was wondering if anyone knows whether buying the Switch 2 Edition of these Zelda games would allow my save file and DLC to transfer over, or if having originally owned the game as a physical cartridge means that wouldn’t work. I can't find anything on this specific issue on Nintendo's website.

Thank you so much!

I’ve been wanting a Switch for a while but there are so many options now that I’m not sure where it makes sense to buy one. Checked the usual stores plus eBay and refurbished ones. Used prices seem all over the place and some bundles barely cost less than buying new. For anyone who bought one recently where did you get yours? And would you go new or used if you were buying one today?

i still play alot on my new 2ds xl but i want to change things up. what is the best console in your opinion? which one has the best games?

i have a bunch of ds consoles, a gameboy pocket and a switch. i’m very indecisive and can’t choose which one i should get. i also don’t want to pay €60 for a game.

hello, i am a big fire emblem fan but unfortunately very very broke. Since fortune weave is going to be a switch 2 exclusive release, going forward is it even worth it to own a lite- given that it won’t be able to support the newer games? or will there still be releases that can be played on both 🥲?

i’m about to exhaust my replay-ability on the switch lite, if no particularly interesting titles are going to release for in the future i might as well sell it

sorry if it sounds stupid i am not very updated on the consoles 🥲

I've wanted one for so long, however I held off and now with OOT coming out I would like to finally buy one.

I received two emails from the official Nintendo repair email, noreply_repair@noa.nintendo.com, about service requests being cancelled, but when I search the request number, nothing comes up. I sent in my joycons for repair a few months ago, but the repair went fine without any problems, and I haven’t made any more requests since. My account also isn’t compromised, as I have 2FA and the login history doesn’t have any devices that aren’t mine. Could this just be a glitch on nintendos end, or is my account somehow compromised in a way I don’t know about? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bought a second nintendo that wasnt reset and it has parental controls on it that wont let me reset it im unable to contact the person who sold it to me and i know neither the pin or what email its connected to.

Can someone please give me a step by step on how to reset the nintendo?

I’m thinking about getting a handheld and can’t decide between a Nintendo 3DS and a Switch Lite. Which one would you recommend, and why?

Pretty much what it says in the title. I just bought an NES console today and was looking to start building up a library of games to play. I also have a Switch 2 with Nintendo Switch Online, and would like to invest in lesser known gems that haven't been put into the Switch Online library. Thank you!

I dont have a wifi router anymore, only mobile hotspot. Whats the cheapest replacement for my Nintento switch to accept my internet and what would be a genuine good recommendation or investment? No use if my internet becomes crappy.

Got a used game, and the disc isn’t reading. I was going through the trouble shooting and it was saying maybe the system needed to be updated. No idea if updating even works anymore at this point with the Nintendo WFC not being a thing anymore. The disc looks fine, not really scratched.

Edit: The original Wii, got in in 2007

Years ago, I changed the email of my Nintendo account from my parent's to mine. I didn't realize there was an option just upgrade it from child to adult. I have the option the mature the account. Can I upgrade it and use/carry over the supervisor email? Or would I need to change the supervisor back to my parent's and then enter my email for the upgrade?

And would I lose any of the games I purchased? If there's barely any difference, I don't mind leaving it as is.

I'm a new Nintendo player. I've played mostly Soulslikes, RPGs (like Skyrim or Fallout), and competitive games all my life, but I wanted to give Nintendo a try.

I know Nintendo has a reputation for consistently high-quality games, but I don't really know where to start.

So far, I've played Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Breath of the Wild on my Switch 2.

If you have any recommendations, please let me know!
