What to Look for in a Nintendo Switch
Will you Play in Portable or Docked?
Consider whether you’ll play in portable, docked, or both modes before purchasing a Switch model. The standard Nintendo Switch is the best option if you plan to use both modes, while the Nintendo Switch Lite is suitable if you won’t be playing on a TV. The Nintendo Switch OLED is a premium model perfect for those who tend to play more in Handheld mode than Docked mode.
Do You Want to Play with Friends?
If you want to play games locally with friends, avoid the Switch Lite and opt for the Switch or Switch OLED that support local multiplayer. For more Nintendo offers, check out our best Nintendo Switch deals roundup.
