Is it worth buying a Switch?

Submitted by Medical-Hair-7153 t3_10ncv06 in consoles

I am interested into buying Nintendo Switch because it can be used as a handheld and battery life is very good Im planning to use it to play Zelda, Mario and use it on roadtrips with my family or while driving to a basketball game?. Is it worth it the price and is it good as I think it is?

The Switch is an amazing piece of kit, and I'm not bias. I own a PS5, OLED Switch and a 3070ti gaming laptop and I use the Switch on a regular. Granted it's how I play Pokémon but still...

What makes it unique for me is it's versatility. You can dock it and play, then want to maybe get in bed and chill? Whip it out and go into handheld.

Also for traveling purposes... and there's an abundance of party games to play with friends.

The hardware is outdated, but it's still a fantastic console for what it does correctly. Nothing else like it.

Well battery life isn’t very good, far from it. And personally I can’t stand using it in handheld mode as it’s super uncomfortable. So I wouldn’t unless you want to play Mario Zelda or Pokémon.

My kids (well, Teens) love our Switch as do my Wife and I. You’re not going to get all the top AAA games on it but what you do get is great fun. I really like the online shop too, to play the old classics. I’m unfortunately old enough to remember them the first time round 🫤
