How Do You Turn On The Nintendo Switch?

Last updated
Ever wondered how to get your gaming adventure started on the Nintendo Switch? You’re in the right place to find out!
Let’s dive straight into how you can power up your Nintendo Switch and leap into the world of gaming.
Flip The Switch on Your Nintendo Switch
To turn on your Nintendo Switch, just press and hold the power button. You’ll find this button on the top left corner of the console. Hold it for a second or two, and voila, your adventure begins!
If your Switch doesn’t light up, don’t worry! Make sure it’s charged. Plug in the charger and let it juice up for a bit. Once it’s got enough power, try holding down the power button again.
