Question

My switch is in the dock, but the screen didn't turn off by itself like it's supposed to. What can I do?

Make sure it is plugged in. Also, have your Switch on, but it needs to be on the home screen.

If you have a pair of Joycons, 2 people can each have one individual Joycon.

Yes, you can play any Switch game in both handheld and TV modes. If you have a Switch Lite, however, you won't be able to play in TV mode.

Question

Can you play Super Mario Odyssey on the television?

Hagukanan

Top Answerer

Yes, you can. Most Nintendo Switch games can be played in both handheld mode and television mode. As long as you have your Switch's dock connected to the TV, you'll be able to play Super Mario Odyssey with your Switch docked.

Question

How is the unit charged? The battery indicator shows on the screen.

Hagukanan

Top Answerer

It's charged through the dock. The AC Adapter is plugged into the back, so when your Switch is docked, it will charge. Your Joy Con controllers can also charge this way too if they're connected to the Switch while it's docked.
