Is there an issue with the Power Off mode that causes the Switch to still use power? When I shut mine down I always use the Power Off option from the Power menu rather than just press the power button once to put into standby but it still drains the battery within about 7-8 days. Mine is a Switch OLED so will have the better battery.
Not as far as I'm aware. But I always leave mine docked when I'm not using it.

Yeah I normally do but I had a visit to A&E last Saturday night and left it in my bag, I had to go again last night and thought I could play something while waiting to see the doc/test results but it was almost dead. I definitely put into Power Off mode not Standby so it must be using something in the background even when “Fully” powered off.

It will drain some power slowly with time, but not that much. My bet is that it was still in standby mode, and/or perhaps something was pressing against the joycons or the home button in your bag which kept it "awake".

I'm going to have to agree with this post. I can keep my OLED in standby for a week and it'll still have some juice for at least an hour minimum.

Hummm weird. It was actually in its case which is big enough that the joycons are sort of captive so can’t see it being that. I will have to look into it a bit more, there is a possibility that I did just put in standby last time but it’s something I try not to do.
I am wondering if someone can help me.
When I'm playing Fortnite on the Switch, one of the Joycons sometimes disconnects mid-game.
What's strange is when it disconnects on Fortnite, it'll still work on the home screen of the console. It also still works on Fortnite when I use it hands-free. But won't when I reconnect it to the console. I have to sync it up again for Fortnite to recognize it.

A lot of cases aren't as protectve as you think ...if something is pressing on the top of the case it can push the joycon sticks in ( equivalent to using L3 or R3 input ) and that will keep the console awake.
Was mario wonder...and i LOVE it...awesome gameWhich game is it?
Was playing switch sports tennis with the kids the other day and they all loved it, it's nice and simple for the little kids so they all had a fun time!
I ended up picking up Trombone Champ, Golf Story and Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania. Trombone Champ is a fun game but can be pretty frustrating! Anything other than stick control is a bit finicky to get working properly. I love the IR method, just wish I had an easier solution, mostly looks to lag when in movement and actually getting it to do what you want is another challenge!
Wonder is a great game no doubt. It has its issues like all 2d mario games but generally its fantastic. I just get frustrated that Nintendo still hasn't given us a new 3D mainline mario game since 2017 when the switch was launched.
I'm sure we will. They will have been holding back the new 3D mario along with the next mario kart and hopefully metroid prime 4.
Nintendo please take my money, I'm ready for next gen
I watched a YouTube video at the weekend that did mention a new gen trilogy re-release of Bayonetta trilogy on the Switch 2.Or re-releases of everything we’ve had before
