Overview

This video provides a comprehensive guide to 12 often overlooked features and settings for the Nintendo Switch 2. The presenter walks viewers through essential setup steps, display configurations, account management, and accessory functionalities to help users maximize their console experience.

Key takeaways

System Data Transfer: The initial system data transfer during console setup is crucial for migrating all profiles and downloaded games from a Switch One. While it can be done later by resetting the console, it's more seamless during the initial boot-up.
Display Settings: Users can optimize their visual experience by adjusting HDR settings (choosing "compatible software only" is recommended), setting the console's resolution to match their display, and configuring RGB range for modern TVs.
GameChat Registration: Setting up GameChat requires a phone number for verification, which helps in managing online interactions and blocking users. Users can also pre-approve friends for easier chat invitations.
Auto Upload for Media: Screenshots and gameplay clips can be automatically uploaded to the Nintendo Switch smartphone app, allowing for easier sharing on social media.
Virtual Game Cards: This serves as the new digital game library, where users can find and redownload purchased software.
Primary Console Setting: Designating the Switch 2 as the "pass enabled console" is important for accessing digital games, and this setting can be managed through the eShop or a web browser.
Mouse Mode and Sensitivity: The Switch 2 supports a mouse mode when Joy-Cons are detached, with adjustable sensitivity levels (high, medium, low) for easier navigation.
Firmware Updates: Regularly updating the firmware for controllers and accessories is recommended to ensure optimal performance and compatibility.
Wired Headset Support: The Pro Controller for Switch 2 supports 3.5mm headphone connections, with options for virtual surround sound and microphone input adjustments. A quick pop-up menu allows for easy audio and button reassignment.
System Lock: A PIN code can be set to lock the console, providing an optional layer of security, especially for households with children. Parental controls are also more robust and manageable via the smartphone app.
Battery Charging Optimization: Users can choose to stop charging the battery at 90% to help reduce battery capacity loss over time, although the system may still charge to 100% occasionally for accurate display.
Mii Characters: Mii creation is back, allowing users to create new Miis or use lookalikes. This feature also integrates with amiibo, enabling users to label and manage their amiibo data.
