Connect Your Nintendo Account You need to connect your user profile to a Nintendo Account in order to add and manage friends. This hash connection enables you to send and receive friend requests, join someone else's multiplayer game, or sync up with the mobile app. Connect with Friends Through a Friend Code It's all proven old school stuff. Each Nintendo account is assigned a specific 12-digit Friend Code, which begins with 'SW-'. Process: Visit your user profile from the HOME menu. Scroll down to 'Add Friend' then press Ok on 'Search with Friend Code'. Register by clicking the link code your friend sent you. View their profile out, send a connection request. Check your own profile to figure out what your Friend Code is, and you can freely share it. Step It Up Campaign Action Steps: Go to your own profile page. Choose Add Friend, then Users You've Played With. A new screen will pop up displaying your fellow teammates or opponents. Select and send a connection request. Add Friends Nearby, Even Without Wi-Fi This has been super effective at party, tournament, and during-class-break engagement. You can download episodes and listen on the go and you don't even need Wi-Fi. Here's what you need to know to get started. Each player takes their respective mobile device and proceeds to 'Search for Local Users' within the 'Add Friend' feature. Tap the like symbol to make a connection with everyone vibing on the same wave as you on both screens. After you match, share and accept friend requests without any codes required. Look for Recommended Friends The Switch 2 makes better recommendations about friends to connect with, based on your linked Nintendo account. It can even involve friends you don't know yet from mobile phones such as in Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp or legacy Nintendo ecosystems like the 3DS or Wii U. Find it listed under: 'Add Friend' > 'Suggested Friends.' Scan a QR Code with the Switch App You can now add friends on Nintendo Switch App with QR Codes. Here's what that looks like and how to do it. To start, load up the mobile app on your smartphone. Just scan your friend's QR code or have them scan yours.

Scrolling down to 'Options,' you can select favorites, block someone, or go as far as removing friends.

Nintendo announces upgraded Switch 2 editions of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom
Nintendo won't let you escape two of its most critically-acclaimed games ever. It's announced there will be Switch 2 versions of both Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Both titles will benefit from the next-gen console's increased power, with enhanced framerates and resolution during play, as well as HDR support for deeper colors and contrast. Nintendo wasn't specific on the difference between handheld and TV play just yet, but we know the new console will feature several resolutions for play, from 1080p through to 4K. The Switch 2 is also capable of up to 120 FPS, so you're likely to see a difference. For reference, Tears of the Kingdom on the original Switch was locked at 30 FPS in both the Switch's handheld and TV modes. Also, the new mobile Switch App will have new Zelda-specific features for these new editions. It can turn your smartphone into a (sort-of) Sheikah Slate. It'll guide you around maps with voiced directions, and you'll be able to share your creations with QR codes so that others can create your Mad Max destruction machines in their games. And if you're a Switch Online subscriber with the Expansion pack, you'll get both upgraded iterations for free, provided you own the originals.
