Making Your Own Wii Theme Changer

Intro​With the advent of the file replacement code (thank you Phantom Wings!) anyone can easily run custom music on Brawl. I'm sure you guys, like me, are chugging away to add the songs you love, songs you find appropriate for a stage (I'm on a Boat!), or songs you just want to annoy people with.This thread is where you can share your own music with THE ENTIRE INTERNETS. Hundreds of songs, edited and converted to the brstm file format (needed to run custom music) have already been added to the rapidly growing list of music. Go ahead and contribute your own brstms! What to do:​1. Put the song name and a rtist/videogame the song is from.2. Put a link to a site to download the.brstm file (the filename should have the song title in it, not a name like A01.brstm).3.

Try to find a Youtube video or MP3 link containing the song so someone can preview it (this is especially important if your music is obscure, but it's just convenient for those who want to see what you're sharing).If the song you submit is under copyright, it'd be polite for you to also post a link to a location to buy it or the album it's on (as you might see done with copyrighted music on Youtube). Support the artists!Once you add this info, I will add it to the top of this topic in a nice format, arranged alphabetically for others' convenience.If you would like to make my job easier (and get your music up on the list quicker), just insert the details of the song in the following template, replacing the capitalized text with your songs details and links (besides DEMO). Once you preview it, it should look like the songs on my list. ​IMPORTANT NOTE FOR POSTING REMIXES​Always put the name of the game/other original source first, in orange. Then put the name of the remix, followed by the name of the original song in parentheses (or, if the remix has no name, put the name of the original song first, then 'Remix' in parentheses), in yellow. After that, put the name of the remixer in orange.- If the song was featured on OverClocked ReMix or another site, use the name of the site for the remixer's name.- If the song is part of a remix album (like any of OCR's albums, doujin albums, etc.), use the name of the album for the remixer's name.- If the song was remixed by an independent remixer (like PokeRemixStudio, or something that was posted on OCR's forums but never featured), use the name of the remixer.

Hey, congrats on getting a! Hopefully, you’re already playing Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but if not (or if maybe you need a break) try exploring some of the quirky features of your crazy new hybrid handheld console. Nintendo’s system has quite a few Easter eggs and hidden features you may not know about.

Updated December 2018: I've added four new tips to the list, and updated our games and accessory recommendations. Turn on Your TVTrue to its name, the Switch will turn on your TV for you, or switch its input when you boot it up. Booting it up is also wireless.

Just press the Home button on your Joy-Con or Pro controller. If you don’t like the feature (not all TV’s are capable), turn it off in Settings TV Settings Match TV Power State.

Find a Lost Joy-ConIf you lose a Joy-Con controller, the Switch has a panic-free way to find it. Click on the gray Controllers button on the home screen, then click Find Controllers. Once there, you can make any paired Joy-Con or controller vibrate at will. Grab the Switch and tip toe around, pressing vibrate on and off until you find that sucker. Make Friends and Play With ThemThe Switch technically has an online service, but it's still a pain to play with friends. Every game is a little different, but generally, you will need to first talk to them over text or in real life and get their friend code.

To find a friend code, click on your Mii picture in the upper left of the home screen then tap Add Friend. Tap Search with Friend Code and type in their digits. If needed, you can also see your friend code in the lower right. Once you've established friendship, make sure you both own the game you want to play, then enter it and start an online room or battle with friends and invite them. You will need a to play online multiplayer and save games to the cloud. Voice Chat With FriendsOnce you've become Friends with someone (see above), you can voice chat with them.

Unless you're playing Fortnite, which has on-console chat, you'll need to download the for your or and both have it open when you begin a play session. You'll then be able to chat. It's not the most intuitive system. Our guide has recommendations for the two headsets that will work with a phone and your Switch simultaneously.

The is the more affordable option. Pair Joy-Cons With an Android Phone, Mac, or PCJoy-Cons live up to their name. I couldn’t help but smile when I discovered I could pair my Joy-Con or Pro Controller with an Android phone. Better yet, it works with Mac and PCs, too (though you’ll need an app like to map the buttons correctly on Windows). They work because Nintendo uses Bluetooth to connect them. Just hold down the small sync button on the top of the controllers for a few seconds and the lights on them will flash, letting you know they’re in pairing mode. Find them in the Bluetooth menu of your phone or computer and you’re good to go.

Check Your Battery Life AnytimeThe Switch gets three to six hours of battery life, which is just low enough that it’s gonna stress you out sometimes. To see the battery life, and adjust a few other settings like volume and brightness, hold down the Home button while playing a game.

After a second, the menu will pop right up! You can also have the Switch show the exact percent of battery remaining in the upper right of the home screen by holding ZL and ZR together, or toggle it on permanently in Settings System Console Battery (%). Make Weird, Fun Sounds on the Unlock ScreenThe Switch lets you unlock by pressing any button three times. Have you tried it? If you have, you’ll notice this software Easter egg. Most buttons sound the same, but the left control stick, right control stick, ZL trigger, and ZR trigger make odd, fun noises, like a clown horn.

One other thing to try: the clicky noise that the Switch makes when you tap in a random location is pressure sensitive. It gets deeper or higher pitched depending on how hard or soft you touch. See How Long You’ve Played a GameEver wonder just how many hours you sunk into Zelda? It’s easy to check. Click on your Mii picture in the upper left corner of the Switch home screen.

Click Profile once you’re in there to see a rough estimate of how much time you’ve wasted collecting Korok seeds. If you’ve added friends (you need their Friend Code), you can see what they’ve played lately, too!

You can make a profile or stop sharing your playtimes in Settings Users Your Name Friend settings. Change Your Region to Access Region-Restricted GamesThe days of needing a Japan-specific console to play some Japanese games are over. You can easily toggle your region in Settings System Region. So far, most games are available globally, but some titles may arrive in one region first.

Might help, if there’s a specific game you’re looking to play. One other benefit of switching from US to a region like Europe: the box art changes for some games, like Breath of the Wild. You could also create a new user for each region. View the Menu in Dark ModeTry out the Dark Mode by selecting “Basic Black in Settings Themes.

It’s easier on the eyes than the default white background, especially if you’re using the Switch in handheld mode. Attach a USB Keyboard or HeadsetThere are three USB ports on the Switch dock. You can plug in most any USB keyboard and it should work, letting you type in menus to enter stuff like passwords. Just keep in mind that you can’t actually play games with the keyboard. USB Bluetooth headsets also work. We were surprised to find that some of our PS4 headsets plugged right into the Switch. If you're portable, you can get a USB-C adapter and plug in a Bluetooth headset using that (or just use the audio jack).

Nintendo has a iOS/Android app that's required to do voice chatting in games at the moment, though. Make Another Profile for an Extra Save SlotThere are a number of games that only give you one save slot. If you want more, there's an easy fix. Just make a second User (Mii). Navigate to Settings Users Add User to make an extra user. Once made, it will appear as a choice when you open a lot of games. Choosing the new user will create a new, separate save file.

If you want the exact opposite, you can get rid of the User Selection screens and get the system to always default to your core account in games by turning Skip Selection Screen to On. Perform a Hard Reset if It FreezesThe Switch is pretty stable, but there have been a couple times mine has frozen up in the last nine months. Turning the Switch off usually works by holding Power for a few seconds, until the restart menu opens.

If that doesn’t happen, the best solution is to do a hard reset by holding down the power button for about 12 seconds or so (just keep holding). Once it powers down, wait 30 seconds and power it back up. If your problems continue, you can try booting it into Maintenance Mode by holding the power button as you turn it on and then when the Nintendo logo appears, also pressing down on both volume buttons right next to it. This will let you factory reset it, or clean it out while attempting to save your data. Use Your Joy-Con Like a Wii RemoteIf you’re feeling nostalgic, the Joy-Cons can be used with motion controls in some games. For instance, grab on the Nintendo eShop, install it, and open it with a Joy-Con. The game will ask you to set the Joy-Con on a flat surface, then point it at the screen.

Do this and then you can use it just like a Wii Remote, with an onscreen cursor and everything! Accessories You'll NeedSince you just bought a Switch, be sure to check out our list of.

You will most definitely need a (many games are 10+ gigabytes) and may also want to buy (I’ve used it and it doesn’t bubble) and a if you want to speed up your internet connection. Pro tip: the USB port inside the Switch dock is fastest. Games to OwnFinally, if you’re hunting for games, check our guide. Here are a few random fun ones to try other than and, which should be your first two purchases:, and Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime (if you want some fun 2+ player co-op action).
