Reality vs Adventure Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 I've been curious about this as well. You can hook it up to the tv or be portable right? I actually was looking up games available for it the other day. But the system isn't that cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, they're set to release an updated version so you'll probably be able to get the first-gen Switch for a lower price when the updated one comes out.

Withywarlock Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 It's a Nintendo console with Nintendo games. That's it for me. None of its other unique selling points (USP) like its portability, cartridge format, subscription bonuses and so forth really appealed to me while I had it. The area I live in is too unsafe to be carrying around a Switch, and it's not like I like Super Mario Odyssee enough to go a few hours without it to and from home, so it remained hooked up to the TV save for the few occassions I wanted the feeling of playing a handheld device. The JoyCons were OK for the little time I used them; not great, not terrible. Just about the only thing I felt was truly great was its rumble features, but indie devs didn't take advantage of it which made Fast RMX a much worse experience. I decided to stick with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because I was spoilt for that rumble. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 It's portable and a lot more powerful. I use the Switch Lite. It doesn't dock like the original Switch, but it's a lot more stable. And if I don't want to play a game, I can watch Hulu or Netflix on it. The Switch Lite supports microSD cards that I haven't seen a Switch able to handle. For example I have a 512g in my Lite and about 100 DDL's on it. I also have about 30 carts that I play on it as well. No memory issues and they all run smooth as greased owl shit. The Switch can't support a cart that big. If I had $500 to spare I would buy a 1Tb card to put in it, but I can't afford that. The Switch/Lite is a superior gaming device. It does lack a few titles for whatever reason, but otherwise, it's more than worth getting. Especially for you Skyrim nuts. You can take the game with you so that when you're not home and you start jonesing you can grab your Switch and get your fix. The Witcher 3 is on it as well, for those of you that are all about that game. StaceyPowers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo could put out a Mario Switch game pictures of Mario only and people would be buying it like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to answer the question. I have the swtich lite and honestly I just like having a hanheld and to be able to play games on it that I wouldn't have access to on any other system. I don't have to plop myself up to my tv for my ps4. I can just get my Switch out and play. Edited April 27, 2021 by The Burnout Kid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Yes you can watch Netflix and Hulu on a Switch Lite. Just go into the eShop, and download the app. It's a free download. If you have your account login info ready, just login and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get to do that a lot with my gaming buddies whenever they come over. We do gaming hook up every week at each of our houses just to change our gaming spots.

Demon_skeith Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 You can play it on your big screen at your house or take it on the go anywhere, that is a really big feature that I hope Nintendo keeps going with. Surpised Sony or MS hasn't jump on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking of getting the Switch as well as a PS5 but I'm still trying to get my hands on a 3090 at a reasonable price to finish my gaming PC build.
