Minecraft Nintendo Switch press "y" to connect to local network is missing from the title...

Got the same problem...

spent around 2h trying to get it to work today on 2 different nintendo switch, just does not work, something buggered with the Nintendo Switch Minecraft version.. for reference this is what I have tried today:

1. Running the minecraft bedrock server version 1.14.1 on ubuntu in a local network.

2. connected successfully from Android, PS4, Win10

3. Tried from 2 different switches connecting to the same access point as android and PS4. Tried both with the same MS account as was used on the PS4 as well as a separate one. tried both switching the whole "local network vs online" switching several times
in different ways.

very disappointed that I could not get it to work as the purpose was to have a kids birthday part with 7 boys playing together in one world locally.. I already bought Minecraft 4 times on different platforms.. and the promised "will work everywhere" appear
to be greatly exaggerated

Restart your Nintendo Switch: Sometimes, simply restarting the console can help resolve temporary connection issues. Press and hold the power button on your Nintendo Switch and select "Power Options" followed by "Restart."

Check your internet connection: Ensure that your internet connection is stable and working properly. You can try restarting your router or connecting to a different network to see if the issue persists.

Update Minecraft: Make sure that you have the latest version of Minecraft installed on your Nintendo Switch. Developers often release updates to address bugs and improve performance.

Check for Nintendo Switch system updates: It's also essential to keep your Nintendo Switch system software up to date. Go to the Settings menu on your Nintendo Switch, select "System," and then choose "System Update" to check for any available updates.
