Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your console, place the device in the dock and connect the HDMI cable to your 4K-supported display to enable ultra-high-definition output. For handheld use, slide the magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers onto the sides of the console until you feel them snap into place. The system maintains full backwards compatibility with your existing library of Nintendo Switch games, which can be accessed via the digital storefront or by inserting physical cartridges. To clean the screen, use a soft, dry microfiber cloth, avoiding harsh chemicals that may damage the HDR-capable display coating. Keep the side vents clear to ensure proper airflow during high-frame-rate gaming sessions.
