- Nintendo Switch has exploded recently in sales because of the global pandemic. Some gaming stores have even sold out entirely. These are some of the biggest settings that we bet you didn't know!
SUBSCRIBE NOW to The Gamer! Click here: goo.gl/9cpWgf
Even gamers who’ve owned a Nintendo Switch since it’s release in 2017 don’t know everything there is to know about the console. In fact, we’d bet there are at least a few hidden settings these OG Switch gamers may not know about, which is where we come in. Here at TheGamer, we’d say we’re quite knowledgeable when it comes to the Nintendo Switch. Now, some of you may know all of these settings we’ll talk about like the back of your hand, but we’ll still include some well-known settings for the surge of new Switch gamers who want to know what their console is capable of. You’re welcome, newbies!
Did you know that some games don’t allow you to have multiple saves? Well, there’s a simple solution to that and it involves making another account. Usually, you’ll be able to start a new game on that account without overriding your other account’s save. Talk about a neat workaround. Just hope you have the Nintendo Switch Online service so you could back those save files up. It might also be a smart thing to associate that new account with a completely different region so you could access that region’s eShop if need be. Even if you don’t understand Japanese, there might be a game you want that’s just too good to pass up.
There are more hidden settings inside the Nintendo Switch than just those so enjoy the video, let us know what your favorite hidden setting is in the comments section below and don’t forget to subscribe to TheGamer for more gaming content.

For you long time Switch fans - did you catch all of them?
No
Yes i catched every baseball ball in the wii sports"-"
Yep
Yes
Few?
None of these were hidden at all. I’m surprised there wasn’t one that said “if you press this small circular button on the top of the console, it will power on and off”
Essentially they did when they mentioned the hard reset
Dude so true
Actually, you have to hold it for five seconds and then press power off
Go in and out of sleep mode. Hold to access power off menu.
“if you put your switch in the dock you will play on tv”
This video should be renamed; “Have You Ever Opened The Nintendo Switch’s Settings App?”
Someone needs to make this.
Hang on I’m gonna call one of my friends to make that
Okay my friends making it
good enough
Max-Mc-Metal-Head Done?
4:11 that’s EXACTLY how I take off my joy cons
Me too, strange how they stopped working after me doing that 5 times.
LMFAO
Lol
Lmao
do i dare asking how
Everyone knows that airplane mode is for when you want your switch to fly around so you don't have to carry it.
Lol
Thanks Koro sensei very cool
Ikr
I n the short clip of the guyot a airplane he was using the joycons disconnect and Bluetooth headphones
@@DoomRacer11 when you’re too sus
Who else came to the comment section before watching the video to see if they are just settings we all know about already?
me buddy, Well played
Me too
Yeh
Me
They got the view so they already won lol
Imagine being a parent that don't allow their kids to play Nintendo
That will be sad water sheep
Poor kids ;-; XD
sands shotytos I know
sands shotytos 😰
I would feel bad 😭😭
That’s crazy, I had no idea you could press the power button and turn the console off. Did you know about the awesome other hidden features such as: you can recharge your switch by plugging it in? or touch the screen to activate the touchscreen? or press the a button three times to get to the switch home screen?
"or press the a button three times to get to the switch home screen?" You can actually do this with almost every button, including joysticks, and those have special sounds
This is ground-breaking!
what they can charge????? every time one dies i just buy a new one thank you so much this is revolutionary
I nEvEr KnEw ThAt
@@esgberg3524 SAmE
7:39 "the switch can't magically turn your controler on and make it start vibrating"
Um... Yeah it can.
Yeah i tried it i dont think he actually tried it
Yea I think the gamer just donest care about good viedos
Came here to check if someone already commented this. Literally sanity checked myself.
wait so it a joy con can be at the other side of the house and you can randomly turn it on cause i like to see you try
Wait what?
I have a hidden setting for y’all: you actually can turn on this console. Crazy right?
Damn, really? I learned something new today. Thanks!
HOW LONG HAS THAT BEEN A THING FOR??!
WOAH SO THATS WHY I CANT PLAY MY GAMES!
literally this video XD
Can I turn it on though? No one told me how to turn it on.
If you ever feel useless just remember this channel exists...
Hjönk Hjönk Am Goose no remember rosalina’s final smash exists.
@Hjönk Hjönk Am Goose they are the same people you know
ouch
@Hjönk Hjönk Am Goose roast? no man. they are literally the same people
@Hjönk Hjönk Am Goose how is that a comeback
This entire videos story is the most sarcastic “YA DON’T SAY”
Should just rename this “hidden settings that literally everyone knows about”
This is the channel I show my friends who think they're useless. They feel better instantly
same
lol
The switch actually can turn on the joy con you want to locate. If it was off, it'll turn on and start vibrating once you tap and hold the icon in the locator menu on the switch.
Unless its dead
And just like that... someone has stuffed a joycon somewhere they shouldn't.
this guy: OMFG GUYS. you can TURN OFF YOUR SWITCH. Gosh that’s pretty secret...
Me: uhh
“Did you know...
Wait for it...
You can plug headphones into your switch? Cool right!?!?”
I’d just like to add this, this feature isn’t used a lot but it’s pretty cool. If you have Ring fit Adventure, you can set an alarm that can take you to the game. The home button has an LED light and the home button’s light will flash
10:07 thank me later
Zubat 23 appreciated
The hero we didn’t deserve, but the hero we needed.
Thank you so much... That video was crap🤷♂️
What happened? ( I clicked on the time stamp and never looked back)
You made an ad play, now I have to refresh because I don't want to give these people any money.
Wow ! You read the manual. Congrats !
Lol!!
I thought everybody knew that if you held the power button down long enough on any electronic device it would automatically power off? It works for computers (I've had to do it a number of times sadly lol) so it follows that it works for everything else. Still there are a few things here I didn't know (mostly 'cause I never bothered to explore them) and this could def be helpful for newbies or parents of Switch owners, so good job!
These "secrets" made me lose brain cells
Most of them are well known,but its helpful for new players,and although I've been playing the switch since it came out,some like the find switch one really helped!
You are back again

Yes I would like to rent a comment
@@Box_God lol
Oh i thought his name was theclickbaitfakegamer but okay lol
Did anyone else notice the season 8 fortnite game at 3:64-3:65
@leksos gru You are speaking the language of gods.
4:33 I'm pretty sure it's 12 seconds not 15.
Thanks for the useful info! My controllers are constantly going crazy and I didn't know you could recalibrate them!
Ah yes, I also didn’t know that I can plug in headphones to my switch
Really? I thought that hole was for holding pixy stix!
I knew all of them except the joycons being worth the money.
lol
but then they drift
would you really connect your joy-cons to a computer?
@@ShaneZickmann I have, I play SM64 on emulator online with them cause i cant afford odyssey. 😂😂😂
@@yournamegoeshere7584 yeah so do the pro controllers
Thanks a ton for the advice on what to do for control stick drifting, my lite had a terrible problem with that and after watching your video i recalibrated it and it works just fine!! Thanks a lot!!
“You can make more save files”
*cries in new horizons*
For the finding joycons feature, as long as it has some battery and is not 3rd party, you dont have to have it on to find it. Small error I found.
ALEXANGELO OROZCO I noticed that mistake too
Well the green thing on the side has to show but the find feature just turns it on
that is the only thing I didnt know, but I don't really use that feature anyways
@@ShaneZickmann Lucky you, my relative's always find a way to lose mine.
ALEXANGELO OROZCO I do lose them occasionally but find them soon after
The gamer: HIDDEN SWITCH SETTINGS
Me: yea except I knew ALL of these already
Same
He said for the newbies
@@janellemartin588 it doesn't say that in the title tho
Same and I haven’t hear mine for that longest
@@Irish_Enderman it says that in the video though
I wish my Roku remote had a vibration feature like this I'm tired of losing that thing 🤣
My roommate lost her Roku remote in our previous apartment and literally never found it again :') so wish they did too!! thank goodness for the phone app...
I hear ya
Some newer remotes have a find feature. My sisters kept losing the remote and we finally stopped finding it, so we found one that has a find feature. I think it might only be for Roku TVs, but I haven't looked into it at all. All you have to do is say "Roku find the remote" and it will ring
There is a feature that Nintendo needs to add especially with the new OLED switch being here now and that is the ability to play videos from a microSD card. Such a nice screen to not have the ability to play videos or view images.
My husband found a setting in the Parental Controls that made it stop asking for my password EVERY TIME I wanted to look at the eShop. That would be a good one to mention.
Everyone knew that tho
I didn’t
how do i access it?
@@kalibronx its in the eshop menu
someone *puts switch in airplane mode*
switch: *doesent fly*
someone "good thing there was a trampoline under there"
Thank you so much! This really helped!
-creating multiple profiles for multiple save files
-back up switch save files through the cloud
-pin code/pass through app (also parental controls)
-usb headset & bluetooth headset for playing with switch docked
-joycons can be paired to phone and computer via bluetooth
-usb keyboard
-hard reset and factory reset
-region locked games with a different Nintendo account
-recalibrate joycons
-find lost joycons
-sync tv and switch power on and off
-airplane mode can help save battery (turns off wireless and Bluetooth)
The bit about finding the controller's is wrong it will turn them on if their not dead. I use this regularly as my 6 year old is a turd and hides them
Launch the kid into the sun
Poor six year old lol
"for animal crossing you need to buy another switch"
me who owns a switch after knowing my sister is going to buy a switch lite with animal crossing: I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you.
In the 5th parallel universe the Switch is a portable XBOX two S
@@darkcoeficient who knows, maybe some people are trying to do that
???
If you are unhappy with your island you can just save wipe your AC.
I knew all of these! I've been playing since December 2017 and always played around seeing what the new Nintendo switch could offer!
Regarding using Joycons on Windows, I've found two good ways, both free. The easiest is BetterJoy, which offers a simple and stable solution that uses premade mappings to make it work with any game that uses xinput / XBox 360 controllers. The downside is it doesn't give a real way to remap more than a select few buttons that don't have obvious equivalents. Then there's vJoy plus the joycon-driver "feeder" module, which I've had better luck customizing. This makes it map to a standard joypad like has been standard since the late 90s. Games that support standard joypads typically allow custom button mapping. Then for games that assume everything in the world is an XBox 360 controller, I add x360ce on top of that, which allows complete freedom over button mappings. vJoy even exposes the motion controls as analog axes, though there aren't many uses for it without writing your own software, aside from emulating Wii games.
For many games the only effective way to play with Joycons is to use them together like a regular controller, but then why not just use a normal controller. But others like RPGs play great single-handed with one Joycon.
WHOA I DIDN’T KNOW I COULD PUT MARIOKART 8 DX IN MY GAME CARD SLOT

Title: Hidden Switch Settings
Video: You can use a headset
I only Knew some of them, thanks for making this video
Thank you for this video!
I'm frustrated that they blured out The Completionist's logo on his shirt in a clip.
Read your comment, saw what you meant, downvoted the video
Your right
that clip was from a video nintendo uploaded
@@chamoyless even worse
They just don’t want to show good TH-cam channels
My cousin used the find controller vibration after her mom hid them
Clever
Smart
BIG BRAIN
Did the same before too
@jaylovedolla money upstairs in the closet behind the sheets they vibrated on a piece of paper which made a very loud sound and she put them back after she was done
your cousin’s mom hid them while they were on? why?
Than you this helped me so much
Tnx so much these really surprised me didn't know u could put cartridges in u just earned a new sub
Nintendo:
we will let you figure out new fetures on the switch
The gamer:
sure
Yeah.. That's kinda not funny.... Maybe learn a bit more english?
Maybe more grammar lessons?
Fetures
Yeah "Hidden Settings"
*Hidden*
Aidobo 109 H I D D E N
Ah, yes, the Hidden Settings menu, where none of the settings are hidden, and the three hidden things aren't settings!
Totally hidden
I must be a newbie 😂 I didn't know about certain things... Thx 😊😊
An added aspect for Match TV Power State is that for some TV models, it will turn the TV on and then put the TV on the correct input for the Switch. Not sure if that comes from the TV itself or the Switch, but it is an awesome time save sometimes.
my tv just doesn't work with this feature.
“Hidden Switch Settings Everyone Should Know“
So the only thing that you can tell me is that I will find Jabba at Jabba’s Palace?
HAHAHAHA
There is nothing here that isn't widely known or publicly announced by Nintendo. Nothing here is 'hidden'.
Good info, thanks XD
Omg this is so useful I definitely didn’t know any of these
wow i didnt know i could put a cartridge in my switch
Me either!
Woah! I'm not the only one!
literally right next to this comment is another the gamer video where the thumbnail is a cartridge partially in a switch. same angle, same everything. the only difference is the game.
-Every digital buyer ever
Omg! I'm so glad that I'm not the only one. I felt so stupid after watching this video! Thank God this video exists!! 😂
@3:13 exactly. That's Trials of Mana , not xenoblade chronicles
Yeah. Pretty sure the Xenoblade Chronicles snippit is @5:50
Ima get a switch later today so thank u for the information
I really enjoy playing Wolfenstein II: the new colossus, its looks and runs great on the switch. I'd like to see a multiplayer option though, where the maps could be your standard death match and capture the flag type gameplay, since games like wolfenstien II run so well, it would be cool to see more games from developers that cater to more Mature Rated releases for ninetendo, i mean finally it feels like they've come out with a console for grown ups as well. I mean all the ninetendo games for their systems before seemed like these cartoon brightly rainbow colored games for little kids, i mean Mario Kart was awesome for N64 and they did have james bond: GoldenEye but really those 2 games are what come to mind when i think of what i enjoyed of Ninetendo in the past.
I don't get wolfeinstein at all I got it just to try it out and i havnt made it very far in it
Switch: If you lose your joy cons you can make them vibrate so they're easier to find.
My dirty mind: *You can turn your joy cons into **_joy_** cons.*
I tried it and I peed something that is sticky and clear in my underwear. Should I tell a doctor?
Peridot Amethyst ........ are you being ironic?
Gamerroy 43 help Im scared
Peridot Amethyst ok we’ll have you hit puberty get?
@@PCPrincipalsHusband yes you have a std
Animal crossing is a fantastic game but no cloud backup saves which sucks if you have to play on another switch console Nintendo has to fix that problem
Thank goodness they fixed this issue now
The only warning i will give is this: if you want to purchase a game from another region, do double check the language it is sold. Some games sold in japan, of course, are only available in japanese. Valid for other countries too.
Do you have to learn Japanese to play their games?
@@charleslott2908 google translate
@@-PaulThePerson- can you help me?
Thx for letting me know that i could use game cartridges for my Nintendo switch
I like how they use the same "Switch Cartridge" thumbnail for every single video
Ohhh I didn’t know the switch could play games
Same. I was shocked.
wtf no they cant, Nintendo would never do that. Stop spreading lies.
Alan Guevara it’s sarcasm idiot
pigeonways what do u mean?
The console God youre lying. Nintendo would never allow us to play games. They already made a video saying that implementing that would be too stressful and hard.. ur just an idiot tryin to get attention by lying
you can tell that the creator of the nintendo switch, have been studying human behavior and seeing how he can make their human behavior so satisfying
Bru, I was honestly expecting to see something that I didn't know. You could've at least mentioned changing the rgb range in docked mode for more vibrant colours. But I'm sure that would've been too useful to memtion
I HATE the fact that the games aren't saved on the cartridges like on the 3ds.
Why? I think it’s an upgrade. One, the cartridges are smaller, which makes it easy to lose, so when you lose the smaller switch cartridges, you won’t lose ur data.
Lingendary :] I agree
@@lingendary781 because maybe I'm going to change the console if there's going to be a pro version, and I don't want to make the online subscription and stuff.
Ikr
@@user-pg5jy2bl8w I believe you can transfer data between switches
Imagine You Could Make Switch Games
Well we can with the super mario maker update where we can make our own mario game so we are close to making our own games
Yeah,
be a game developer lol
@@catfrombowsersfury1654 lol I mean DIFFERENT switch games
Bro I could finally get dis mans a 3dworld port
If that ever happens we are all Gonna love the free games
i've been playing my nintendo switch since it first ever came out and this still helped me thx
The visuals to your video are amazing. I only wish you listed in some way which games are playing. I really wonder what game the boy at the airport with a dragon in it was named. At 1:30 of your video.
yes
I TOO PUT MY SWITCH INTO THE MAGAZINE SLOT OF MY M16 TO SNEAK IT INTO SCHOOL
The stick drifting is actually more of a problem than you think. The sticks are relatively cheap so they can break over time. Countless joy con sticks I’ve had to replace cause no other method worked. P.s I often did this for other people since they weren’t comfortable doing it themselves.
TY so much soon imma send in my switch for maintenance fixing and now i will keep my data:D
TheGamer: we are smart!
Also TheGamer: pichu is a bad character in ultimate
That password is nice but imagine getting your switch back with no joy-cons
You can use touchscreen. Also most children know how to get around parental controls. Even without putting in the passcode
THATS helpful thanks
I wish I knew what all the games were in this video! Some looked awesome!
1:58 this isn't Nintendo life's channel 🤔
5:46 umm somethings wrong
I just want to thank you for helping me, I did not know you can calibrate controllers and was going to buy a whole new pair of joy-cons, and they’re what like $80. So again thank you a lot.
What brand of head phones would you recommend for switch docked mode with a microphone that works
There's also another setting you can turn on were it allows you to zoom in by pressing home twice.
When you turn Airplane Mode on, a menu will pop up allowing you to turn on Bluetooth so you can detach the joycons or use the Pro Controller 👍
This helps so much
2:52 "Bowser with a phone."🤣
It’s amazing how many people don’t know about the Nintendo points you can get from carts
"everyone should know"
Everyone with a switch.
Bowser is such a beautiful character
Thank you for telling me how to use a switch!
''we will still include some well known settings''
well then THEY ARENT HIDDEN ARE THEY
Yeah i know right
You can still pair joy cons wireless with airplane mode go to airplane mode on switch setting and it will let you turn on joy con wirelessly and I don’t think I’m the only one who knows this
Nice video, but in 3:13 when it shows Isabella from "Trials of Mana" subtitles says "Xenoblade Chronicles".
Little mistake
I NEVER KNEW TAHT FOR THE HARD RESET THX
Wow I can play Mario kart 8 deluxe on the switch on a cartridge. Amazing
“We’ll still include some well-known settings for the surge of new switch owners” in other words “we couldn’t find 5 things that are actually hidden whatsoever”
Nice, also did you know if you put your switch into that little box and said box is connected to the tv, the switch will be displayed on the tv?
Thank you for helping me fix my controllers
