Ever wondered ‘How do I switch my Nintendo Switch’? Whether you’re a new owner or just need a quick refresher, you’re in the right place.
Switching your Nintendo Switch might sound like a tongue twister, but it’s really quite simple. Let’s dive into the specifics!
Turning Your Nintendo Switch On and Off
First things first, let’s talk about powering your Nintendo Switch on and off. Press and hold the power button on the top left side of the console for a few seconds. A menu will pop up on the screen, and from here, you can select ‘Power Options’ and then ‘Turn Off’ to switch it off. To turn it back on, just press and hold that same power button again until the Nintendo logo appears.
If you’re looking to switch between handheld and TV mode, it’s even easier! Simply place your Switch into the dock connected to your TV for TV mode, or remove it from the dock to switch back to handheld mode. The console automatically switches display modes for you.
