Accessories Switch 2 handheld controllers with PlayStation-style symmetrical sticks? Struggling with COD after PS5

0 Upvotes

Hey, I bought the digital version of Call of Duty for Switch 2 even though I already own it on PS5. I've played COD on and off for around 10–15 years, usually coming back for new releases.

My Switch 2 barely gets used, so I thought having COD for holidays and travelling would be a good reason to use it. I played two matches in handheld mode and honestly, the controls felt awful. I barely knew how to hold it while moving and aiming properly, despite being comfortable playing on PS5.

I have very small hands. The most awkward part seems to be the offset analog sticks: the left one is high and the right one is low, compared with the two lower, symmetrical sticks on the DualSense. I'm not sure whether the main problem is that layout, the smaller sticks, or the flat grip.

Is there any controller attachment actually compatible with Switch 2 that gives it symmetrical, PlayStation-style sticks while keeping everything together as one handheld? I want to hold the screen and controls together, not put the console on a table and use a separate controller. Exact product names and firsthand experience would really help.

If that isn't an option, have grips, different attached controllers or stick caps helped anyone with small hands? I'm open to settings or gyro tips too, but the physical feel is my main issue.

And for PlayStation players who pushed through this: did it really start feeling natural after 10–20 hours? I know two matches is hardly giving it a chance, and I'm fine with getting destroyed while learning. It just feels so wrong right now that I'm wondering whether I need different hardware rather than another 100 hours of practice.

r/NintendoSwitch2's AutoModerator directed me here for help, so hopefully this is the right place. Thanks!

Setup Help Need help swapping Joysticks on Switch 2 for my disabled daughter (playing Pokémon Pokopia)

Post image
39 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I really need a human to help me troubleshoot an accessibility issue (I have had it with the AI circling). My daughter is disabled and needs her Right Joystick to control character movement instead of the Left Joystick.

We are playing Pokémon Pokopia on the Nintendo Switch 2. I have already gone into the console's System Settings > Accessibility > Button Mapping and changed the stick settings to swap the left and right inputs. However, when we go back into the game, the character still will not move with the right stick.

We are playing with a joy con from the switch 1 with a 3d printed holder. The switch 2 controller is just to big for her hand.

Has anyone successfully forced a joystick swap on the Switch 2, or is there something in Pokopia's settings overriding this? Any step-by-step help from a real person would mean the world to us.

Account Help Question about the NSO Family Plan

2 Upvotes

So for Christmas I'm getting my two daughters Switch 2 consoles (I know, I know, Dad of the Year) but I had a question about the Family Plan, specifically about DLC content. I have the DLC content on the parent account for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, if my kids use my carts to play will they have access to the DLC as well or would I have to purchase another license?

Account Help Clarifications Regarding the Exchange of the Virtual Game Card.

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently discovered that Nintendo Switch 2 owners can share virtual game cards. I’ve done a bit of research, but I’d like to ask for your advice regarding my specific situation so I can be sure it’s safe to do this. I’ve heard of many cases where Nintendo Switch accounts have been banned, and I want to play it safe.

Here’s the question: if my girlfriend sets up her Switch 2 account on my Switch 2 as well (we live apart) and sends me a game (which, if I understand correctly, she has to do initially by bringing her console close to mine), can I then legitimately play that game on my Switch 2 (using my own account) while she’s at home playing her Switch 2 (a different game)? Or is there a risk of running into some kind of problem?

And then, if, for example, she revokes my access to the game because she wants to play it herself, can she do that remotely and then grant me access again remotely? Is all of this secure? Can you play multiple games at once, or just one? And if she launches a game she’s given me while I’m playing it, will the game be permanently blocked for her, or will she simply be asked to revoke my license, thereby interrupting my gameplay?

Purchase / Order Help Question about the RE ports coming to switch 2

4 Upvotes

So in September’s Nintendo direct, they announced the resident evil remakes were coming digital in October (already out now) and physical on January for Europe.
I’m confused about when we might expect the preorders to go live, whether they will be GKC, and if it’s going to be a pack like the generations pack one was, or will be released individually. I tend to just get a game I want after it’s released since I don’t care that much about release dates, but considering this will probably be a limited release like the other one was, I was wondering if someone could give me some idea of the product as nintendo and capcom have gone completely quiet about the physical release after it got announced, and I can’t find any info on Nintendo’s webside (I tried checking playasia but it’s apparently down).
If you preordered the generations pack earlier this year, could you please tell me how it went? I wanna know more about it since this will be the first time I’ve preordered switch games (aside from pokemon, but those are always well announced and easy to preorder). Thanks for taking the time to read this
