Topic: Nintendo Switch 2

Was in my local Walmart today, they had a half dozen Switch 2’s behind the glass

For people still looking for console. The restock system Nintendo has is terrible. You guys should allow us to get and line with our nintendo ID so we don't have to drop everything when a notice pops up. This is causing a really bad customer experience.

@mike3 what is your local area?

@Plopable Vancouver BC area Canada

Heads up EBgames.ca has MK bundles online

How to change my NS2 time from 12 hours format (AM/PM) to 24 hours format like on my NS1?!

System settings > Date and Time > Deselect "Synchronize Clock via Internet" > Manually set date and time.

Maybe?

Not too sure since I don't have a Switch 2 yet.

Edit: Google search suggests that the clock is region locked. Europe / Aussie, 24 hour clock. Other regions, 12 hour clock. If that's the case then...maybe Nintendo will add the option in a future update?

Does anybody know if there are any good Joycons alternatives for Switch 2 yet? I would love some controllers that are more comfortable to hold in handheld and don't have stick drift concerns.

@Magician I'm European, but it ends up as 12 hours format.

Has anyone tried playing with the joycon 2s in the grip?

I'm rather shocked how poorly angled triggers feel for playin gMKW or Splatoon. The slanted-back angle of the triggers makes it feel like my fingers will slip right off & can't get a good hold of the triggers.

I've only been playing with a pro controller, so I didn't notice until now.

@SViper From what I’ve seen on the Nintendo Switch 2 subreddit, language decides the clock. So for English, English (US) is the 12 hour clock setting and English (UK/Australia) is the 24 hour clock setting.

@Grumblevolcano can and how I change language to UK?!

@SViper Settings, system and then language.

@Grumblevolcano thank you!

@WoomyNNYes
I play with them in the grip. Haven’t really noticed what you’re saying, honestly. Just feels like the original grip but bigger.

The Switch 2 version of Tears of the Kingdom looks rough. Like- it's nice having the game at 60 FPS, but there are heavy issues with the game's visuals on Switch 2. I started a new game from the very beginning, and when I first arrived on land on the Great Sky Island, the game's graphics started glitching pretty bad. Mainly in terms of shadows. There was a hard line that kept taking me out of the game that I noticed whenever I had link move around. It was a line that existed where the shadows would pop-in, and it was getting annoying to keep playing with it constantly doing that. Everything also looks extremely blurry as well- as if I'm playing the game on Switch 1 still- despite having the Switch 2 patch downloaded.

If I had to pay full price for this upgrade, I probably wouldn't be happy- but I guess I got it for free with the Expansion pass, so there's that.

I'm sure a later update patch will improve it and you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the patch incase there is an issue there.

@BonzoBanana Uninstalling won't fix it, it just needs a patch to fix the shadow values. The issue is primarily with how the game renders shadows, and how it happens so close to the player. The lines are on both sides of Link, and they're basically invisible on the original Switch version of the game due to the lower resolution of the screen. Here though, it's distracting, since you see a visible seam where the lower quality render of the shadow meets the higher quality rendering of it.

It's up to Nintendo to release a patch for it that increases the value where shadows render- but knowing them and how they didn't do it before the release of the edition of the game, they're probably not going to update to fix this. They already got their money, and not many people are actively complaining about it either.

Another question about the "only charge to 90% battery" toggle: Is it really not detrimental to the machine for it to be in the dock always off/on charging to keep it hovering around 90%? To me, that seems like it would also be a strain on the battery to keep trickle charging it so much rather than just getting it to 100 and keeping it there. But then again, I guess the same thing needs to happen to keep it at 100%?

I don't know. The old Switch never had that option, and honestly I never noticed much of a loss in capacity with my battery.

That sounds weird. The Switch 2 version certainly doesn't look blurry to me, the image quality is much crisper than in the Switch 1 version. Are you sure this isn't because of some settings in your TV?
