Nintendo Switch Tips and Tricks
Save Battery
As we mentioned earlier, you can also detach the Nintendo Switch from the main dock and use it as a handheld mobile gaming device. On average, Nintendo Switch offers a battery life of approx. 3-6 hours. But 6 hours are just low enough and can easily pass in just a blink of an eye if you’re a true gamer. So, here are a few ways of how you can extend the battery life of your Nintendo Switch gaming console, by disabling a few less important features. Head on to Settings and disable the Wi-Fi if not in use, also turn the screen battery down that will push the battery hours for a longer period.
To keep a constant track of the current battery life of Nintendo Switch, head on to Settings> System and enable the “Console Battery” option, so that you can always view the console’s battery in the upper right corner of the screen.
Invite Friends
With the help of a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, you can also play along with your friends and pump up your gaming sessions. Once you sign up on this online gaming service offered by Nintendo, you will be able to invite friends to play. Your friends can share their unique gaming code via text or call.
