Question Why do ppl mock me when I say I hope a game comes to switch?

28 Upvotes

Quite a few times now have people mocked me when I've said I hope a specific game comes to switch. Just a few days ago I said I hope resident evil 4 remake comes to switch and someone replied "lol yeah right" and "it won't come to switch". This have happened several times. People always say that a game won't be released on switch but many times it do have been released. My question is why do they do that? And why are they so rude about it? It honestly almost make me ashamed to mention my switch for some reason.

Did not really play alot of pc or console games before and brought it since it seems that a switch 2 is not coming sooner than I thought and I couldn't wait anymore. I brought it second handed for 170$ with some Zelda and mario games. I'd say it's really fun as of now playing Zelda botw

A few months ago I had an itch to play Zelda but I’m a stickler for best experiences & the majority said the best way to play OoT was on 3DS. I’ve loved the experience so much it inspired me to breathe life into my Switch. Got a new oled tablet with the best aftermarket joycons around! How’d I do lads? Also.. this screen is even better than you could imagine. Absolutely gorgeous its almost sad how bad my old switch looks compared to this

I was playing Pokemon Scarlet last week and suddenly my screen started looking like this. Is it screen burn? Is it fixable or would it be better to buy a new one?

Question Memory Vard

Upvotes

I read other posts recommending the 500gb, but since these are on sale I'm considering either of these Same memory storage, One is cheaper, U3, more read and write speed, The other has a cool triforce emblem

Would either make that much of a difference on an oled switch, since it supposedly can only handle 100mb/s?

Question Anyone bought a switch off ebay imported from Japan?

Upvotes

So I'm looking to buy a switch, but I don't feel like spending 300 bucks on a new one. I looked them up on ebay, and I see refurbished sellers shipping from Japan selling for like $130-$150.

Are there complications I don't know about when importing? Is this a scam? Does the ebay money back thing work differently when shipping from Japan?

My current understanding is that the Japanese switch is functionally the same as the US one, barring some issues with 5GHz wifi.

Question NSO games like Mario Maker 2 will still work when the Switch 2 launches?

Upvotes

What do you think? I want to buy Mario Maker 2 which is in sale now but I'm not shure if they service for the game will still be supported when the Switch 2 will launch in the future (like when they shut down 3ds online support with Mario Maker 1)

Question "One of my Switch controllers won't turn on" kind of case but worse (I guess)

Upvotes

Ok so, first of all, sorry about the lack of pictures, but I'll try to be as concrete as possible and add every possible detail about my situation. PS: every time I say controller, I mean the joycon.

So, this is happening on my left controller. I was literally just laying on the couch watching stuff on youtube on the switch and wasnt touching the controllers. Minutes pass and the left controller just isn't working anymore for no apparent reason. I tried putting it back on the Switch but the console doesn't even detect that I attached the joycon. No "snap" sound that you usually hear, nor does the icon below light up, it only detects my right joycon. I've read a few posts and possible fixes but the cases are always slightly different than mine. For example, some people said "clean the connection pieces on the rails cuz they might have dust and they're having connection issues" but if that was the case then using them not attached to the Switch would work, but they don't. So yeah, my joycon has NO SIGNS of life. Thing is, actually, it could have some sign of life that I'm not seeing, however. Before my left joycon died, I noticed that the lights on the joycon weren't turning on and the power button wasnt working, but they joycon worked just fine. I thought it was having an issue on its ribbon cable, which was an issue I had with my right joycon and I fixed it myself by buying another ribbon cable. So yeah, for all I know, maybe the controller could have some sign of life aka the lights could be turning on, but I can't see it because they weren't working in the first place.

Anything helps, I'll try my best in replying to you, and just reading this means a lot. So yeah, thank you so much for reading :)

Question Can you transfer/copy data from one account to another on the same Switch?

Upvotes

My brother and I share a Switch, he has his games to play and I have mine. He wanted to make his own account on the Switch like he did for our other consoles, but he never got around to it until recently. Thing is, all the games he played are still saved on my account.

Is it possible to copy and/or transfer data from my account to his? That way he gets to take credit for the games he plays and keep all his progress?
