Nintendo Switch 2 owner uncovers method to intentionally crash the system
Posted on 3 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Random, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Did you know that it’s possible to intentionally crash your Nintendo Switch 2? Fans shared that discovery on social media this week and it seemed to gain a lot of interest.

No one can say at the moment why this happens, but the console doesn’t like something here and forces a restart. After rebooting the system, it’ll thankfully turn back on as if nothing happened – which is what you would want in this situation.
Below is a look at the method in action:

New discovery shows Nintendo Switch 2 dock supports VRR even though it doesn’t work with the system
Posted on 4 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
A bit of an odd discovery has been made as Nintendo Switch 2 supports VRR when docked, even though the system itself isn’t currently capable of using that feature.
This all came about with a Steam Deck test, which can be done with a female-to-male USB-C extension cable. It turns out the the Nintendo Switch 2 dock supports VRR once you plug that device into it. The Verge tested that 4K VRR does actually work at up to 120 frames per second rather than relying only on SteamOS’ flag that it was supported and also downloaded a tool to ensure that it was functioning properly.
