Last updated
Ever wondered how to get your brand new Nintendo Switch up and running? Well, you’re in the right place to find out!
Connecting a Nintendo Switch to start your gaming adventure is super simple and we’re here to guide you through it.
Quick and Easy Steps to Connect Your Nintendo Switch
First things first, take your Nintendo Switch console out of the box. You will find the main unit, two Joy-Con controllers, a dock, an HDMI cable, and a power adapter. That’s all you need to get started!
Next, if you want to play on your TV, grab the HDMI cable and plug one end into the dock and the other end into your TV. Then, slide the main Switch unit into the dock until you feel it click into place. Plug the power adapter into the dock and then into an outlet. Turn on your TV, select the correct HDMI input, and voila! You should see your Nintendo Switch home screen ready to go. If you’re on the move, just attach the Joy-Cons to the side of the main unit, and you can start playing in handheld mode immediately.
