You might know all these, but you might not! Enjoy and be sure to share your tips and tricks in the comments!

Another tip for the micro SD cards - don't waste money on faster cards. The Switch doesn't support those high-end read/write speeds. Those speeds are meant for supporting 4K devices. For example, the $250-$300 SanDisk Extreme Pro 1 TB will function the same as a $150 SanDisk Ultra 1 TB in a Switch.

Not trying to be rude, but anyone else notice that this guy looks like a real life Mario?

I recommend changing to Dark theme, easier on the eyes and saves a bit of battery.

Also a tip, buying physical copies of games save you money AND space. On the eshop games go for the original release price while in stores or online you can find physical copies of games for half of the original price. The only disadvantages is having to wait to get the game until you reach the store or the it gets shipped from online (which is only 1-5 days usually) and switching out the games from the port everytime you wanna play anything else. Personally, I regret buying games from the eshop so i learned my lesson.

i actually found holding the switch as intended no accessories or nothing just the normal joycons it was actually really comfotable, even though i have slightly large hands it still felt nice to hold.

Didn't know about the MTU setting. I'll definitely have to change that. Thanks for the tip!

I highly recommend the satisfye grip and hori split pads. I can’t play switch without em now. I never even thought of the airplane mode too, but I only play in handheld so that should help a bit.

I just got the OLED yesterday, I was surprised I was able to pick up it on Amazon for retail price..

I've had my Switch since 2017 or 2018 and this is the first time I've heard about an MTU value. Thanks!

For the SD cards, I’d recommend waiting for them to go on sale. I got one for 256 GB at Best Buy on Black Friday for $14 one year! I try to get them every year now.

The MTU tweak suggestion is like saying Size 10 shoes are better than size 9. It all depends on the size your feet. And in this case it depends on your internet connection. Sometimes changing the MTU to higher might even hamper the download speeds. For me for example changing MTU to 1500 actually doubles my download times. The internet is filled with guides on how to check the optimal MTU for the connection you are using.

The split pad is nice, but I prefer the NYXI game pad. It’s fully wireless and with the grip, it can function as a separate controller

I've had my switch since day one and I still got some info out of this!

If you just want ethernet on your existing dock, you can buy a USB Ethernet adapter instead of buying a whole new dock. That's what I did when I first got my Switch, and it works pretty great. That said, it might be beneficial to have an extra dock incase you have multiple rooms to play in, or want one you can take to a friend's house.

I miss magazines like Gamepro and tips N tricks. They were dope

I use my switch like 98%+ of the time in hand held mode. Yes! Some kind of grip is a very big plus and aids in comfort. I use a mumba case that also fits in my case that I keep my switch in so I don’t need to keep taking it off unless I dock it. Yes! Some kind of micro sd card is a must. I’d also recommend a 256gb minimum and yes the name brand sandisk red or green cards are very cheap (even better prices on sale) and work just fine speed wise and comparable to the game cart speeds. You may not think you need one or will fill it up but you eventually will. Best to get a card for digital games and leave the internal memory to just the game saves as that is the only place it will put save data. Edit: oh ya and the trick to turn off wi-fi (airplane mode) while in hand held mode to save battery is one I’ve used too and does work. As does lowering the screen brightness too as that is a major battery killer. Manually adjust it as needed in hand held mode. Don’t leave it in auto brightness adjusting.

Just a solid, informative and well spoken video. Instant subscribe!

Thank you so much. I knew I was forgetting something. The only thing I forgot was the MTU setting on my kids device. And I purchased a ton of games digitally recently and they were taking so much longer than my device. You are the man

Buying a 1tb sd card during black friday was one of the best things i've done. Never have to worry about running out of space.

The MTU size "hack" is a good one, as long as you know exactly the MTU size, which your network is operating on. To get it not that technical: If you're having a carrier which provides you Internet via IPv6: Do not change the MTU to a size, which IPv6 cannot handle anymore (1500 as Framesize can be to large). In bad cases, your provider is dropping your packets leaving in connection loss. So, only modify the MTU size, as long as you know, what you're doing there.

Good tips and made me feel better about the fact I waited for the OLED model. Also picked up the pro controller but wasn’t sure at the time of purchase. It is the go to controller. Rock solid tips dude.

Also , Its important to mention that The Fixture S1 isn't compatible with the Oled yet

I actually just bought my Switch Oled last week and this really helped. Thanks Sean!

I have had the fixture s1 about 1yr now and absolutely love this. If u have a pro controller and like to play in hand-held mode 100% a must have.

Thank you for this!! I was super confused but this helped a ton!

This video was really help ful since I got my Nintendo switch on Christmas

I have had a Switch since launch and this is literally the first I have ever heard of changing MTU settings for faster download speeds and, no offense, I can't believe I'm typing this comment on an RGT85 video. Thanks, sir!

Didn't know about the MTU value. Thanks dude!

Thanks for the tip on MTU! And I may have to look into the Fixture device as well!

I got the Hori pad for my Switch but prefer the Satisfye Grip as it's more comfortable.

Hadn’t seen the mtu hint anywhere before, thanks rgt

You can get 2-3 hours more on your Switch in table top by using the Pro controller or another controller that is not connected to the Switch. It will start using the joycons as batteries.

Great content, just got my hands on a Switch OLED, joined the Nintendo family! You sir got yourself a new sub, the trick with faster downloads is exactly what I needed!

Thanks for all the content man. Keep up the good work and Happy New Years!!!!

Those Hori split pads save battery power as well. They only work on the console so they aren’t charging while in use.

Thanks for the useful tips RGT!

If battery life becomes an issue I'd recommend getting an inexpensive power bank to charge the Switch when you can't plug it in. You can get some pretty decent ones for $20-$40 and they can charge cell phones too.

I'm getting mine next week , And I'm toooooo excited for it 😁

Great video learnt a lot .. thanks 👍🏼

Happy 2022 y'all!!! Thanks for the tips especially the internet one as man the download speeds on eshop suck ;)

I always enjoy these types of videos.

I think putting your switch in Dark mode makes it look better. The all white background is bright and doesn’t look as visually pleasing as the dark mode IMO

Very informative thanks man

I just got my Nintendo switch last week so good lookin out on the tips much appreciated. I'll be sure to subscribe so I can stay updated on what's new and for more tips. Have a great day. Peace

I just bought Nintendo switch a month ago and this video of yours really helped me a lot. Thank you so much sir😇

I came here just so could get some information and to see if it's worth buy and seeing this has confirmed it, very useful

Thank you sir. For your information just bought a oled switch.

I’ve got the Skull&Co grip and carry case set, awesome!

It feels good being back on Nintendo after retiring the GameCube.

Love your channel man - great info

Cool video RGT 85. Defo 5 great Switch Tips n Tricks man 👍.

I love the binbok joycons and the PDP fight pad pro GameCube controllers

My wife got me mine in December, just ordered a ergo grip. After like 5 mins of playing now my hands feel like they are going to sleep. Looking forward to that helping

Great info!! Thank you very Much. Getting an OLED for Christmas. Very Cool 😎

Happy new year RGT!

I got the SC3 Pro and trying to update it but it just get stuck at 0% forever. Any tip? Superb controller in terms of feel.

I just got my switch OLED today with my skull and Co grip and it feels so good in hand I like the split pad pro I just feel like me personally it makes the system super wide and I feel like the old it is already a little bit bigger than the regular switch and I've used the dobie grip with my regular switch to me the perfect grip for handheld mode is the skull & Co I've used it for my regular switch and I've used the one for the OLED and they both feel great in hand

I'm very new to the switch as I ain't played Nintendo since the Gameboy and colour. great and very helpful video cheers keep up the good work.

I thought you were going to mention that you can use a USB to network port adapter on the original dock to give your self a LAN connection.

thumb grips can help a lot when playing handheld and have to use the thumbsticks a lot

Great video, couple solid tips.

Thanks for the tips!!! 👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾

Thanks I owned a Nintendo switch and this helped me

I just recently got my first LG oled TV and it has completely changed breath of the wild and all the rest of the games, but I didn’t think such a washed out game would be completely transformed. My other advice would be to spend $5 for the ethernet adapter like i did, instead of a new dock. My other advice would be to use your best gaming Bluetooth headphones for the best enhanced audio experience. My other advice would be to get the 1tb microsd card. 245gb or whatever gamestop carries at the largest isnt enough and is now in my cellphone

That was a good video! Thanks for the information😉

How do you feel about adding a Marseille graphics enhancer to the swith OLED. Should i purchase? Thank you so much.

Wired is for the latency because wirelss or wired speeds haven't been a problem for the average person. it's the lag that could appear with wireless for some that could cause problems.

Newbie here. Just found your channel. Thanks for the tips!

Dude your a legit beast. Thank you

I went and got the gulikit 10k battery pack and split pad pro (looking at moba pad and binbok) the moba comes in white (great look with the white oled) and binbok cuz I like RGB both offer wireless comm and rumble (unlike hori) maybe help picking it out with thoughts

Another awesome video thanks

Thanks man

The split pad is the way to go for me its perfect for my gameplay

I just got the OLED version yesterday and one of the first things I did was to test internet speeds both on wireless and wired. I saw some videos that talk about how Nintendo has screwed up the UPLOAD speed on the OLED, but download is excellent and fast then non OLED models. Well, sure 'nuff! The download is very close to the max, but upload was bouncing between 7 and 8.7 Mbps, just like in the videos. While the non OLED models have uploads almost the same as downloads (40Mbps, 50Mps, 30Mbps). Of course, with a slow upload speed, when playing online, that's going to cause lag (mostly for others in the game). I sure hope that Nintendo addresses and fixes this with an update. Changing MTU to 1500 doesn't make any diff on that upload speed. Sadly.

Great vid from last year ❤

Recently picked up the switch OLED and wanted to try out nexigo grip on. I like the design of it and I'm hoping it's decent overall.

The MTU 1400 to 1500 was the best out of all of these videos I’ve seen

My favourite feature of the OLED switch is the enhanced green vividness on Greys that they refuse to fix

just ordered a Nintendo Switch Lite. Thanks for the airplane mode tip

Thanks

Thanks bro.

Brand new switch OLED owner. Wish I had known about fixture before ordering a satisfye grip, but I don't play anything too intensive in handheld mode. So it should be fine for now at least.

This is been really helpful. I’m in a lot of this stuff I kind of knew because I did watch a lot of videos shortly after I got my switch and before I got my switch OLED I recently got stung with a fake Sandisk SD card which was very sluggish and I kept on getting corrupt data. Whenever I was downloaded a game or installing a cartridge onto my switch. I’ve got it for cheap on eBay so that was already a red flag and it looked so convincing. It looked like the real deal and they got tied off seeing the craft and Messages and I bought other official ones off of Amazon and I’ve had no issues ever since and they’re pretty fast too, so I don’t mind buying the official Nintendo branded SD cards because they are fast enough anyway great video, even though I know this is literally a year old and I’ve had my switch OLED edition since October and I’m very much enjoying my switch which has been the most fun. I’ve had in a long time in games.

Binbok joycons > hori split pad. Binbok also has a "pro controller" that fits in the fixture S1 for $19! With turbo!. Fixture S1 is working on OLED model still...

I use mine hand held mode I'm loving it I have split pad pro

Just bought the oled, first Nintendo system!

Fixture S1 is a great option 👍

thanks shawn

I'm getting the OLED tomorrow RGT 🤟🏻🤟🏻

Legit didn't know about the internet download speed thing. Never heard of it. Thanks 😂 why isn't it set to max by default haha

You missed a very important fact about the fixture s1 mount. It doesn't work with the OLED switch. Definitely agree it's one my favorite accessory's for the switch but they need to make a OLED version.

I can attest to the fixture S1 it’s dope af

excellent video. I bought your book by the way, I liked it

I don’t really play online games but, when kingdom hearts cloud version comes out, that’s gonna change. Do you think it’ll still run good if I have good internet or am I going to need Ethernet? I want a fun smooth experience like on PlayStation

quick archive games you already finished playing to delete game data but not the saved data to free up some memory space in your switch....but be cautious because you will need to redownload the game data if you wish to play again the archive game

Very informative!!!

Happy new year everyone 🥳🎉

Seeing that mustache for the last time though year. Hope it returns for 2022!

I have a question if my joy cons are on the side of the screen while its in docked mode will the switch charge the joycons while on the dock
