FAQs

How do I expand the internal storage?

You can expand the storage by inserting a compatible microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC card into the microSD card slot located under the kickstand on the back of the console.

What is the expected battery life?

The battery life is approximately 4.5 to 9 hours, depending on the game and usage settings. For example, playing a less demanding game with lower screen brightness will extend battery life.

Can I play games without an internet connection?

Yes, many Nintendo Switch games can be played offline in Handheld or Tabletop mode. However, some features or games may require an internet connection for initial setup, updates, or online multiplayer.

How do I share Joy-Con controllers with a friend?

You can detach the Joy-Cons from the console and hand one to a friend. They can be used wirelessly for single-player or local multiplayer games.

What is the difference between TV Mode and Tabletop Mode?

TV Mode involves docking the console to play on a television screen. Tabletop mode uses the console's built-in stand to prop it up on a flat surface, with the Joy-Cons detached for shared play on the console's screen.

Is Super Mario Bros. Wonder included with all Nintendo Switch consoles?

The inclusion of Super Mario Bros. Wonder may vary depending on the specific bundle or retailer promotion. Please check the product packaging or description for details.
