Not only is the Nintendo Switch the best handheld video game system hands down, this hybrid console is also one of the best systems period. You can either play at home with your standard controller or take it on the go and play wherever you want. All you have to do is unplug the Switch from the dock, attach the Joy-Con controllers to both sides of the device and you’re all set. You don’t even have to end your current game session as the transition is seamless.
While the access to amazing titles like Zelda, Mario and Animal Crossing provides endless amounts of fun content, it’s the multiplayer capabilities that make the Switch so much fun. Either link up and play together via Bluetooth or disconnect the controllers and share with a friend to play a game together on your screen. And thanks to the devices bright screen and vibrant colors, you’ll be impressed with how good the graphics are.
The Nintendo Switch is so convenient, you’ll have a hard time putting it down.
The Nintendo Switch is so good, we also had to include the premium OLED Model on this list. It comes with all of the same great features and content as the Nintendo Switch but is a little more enhanced.
The screen alone is worth the extra $50 providing a slightly larger viewing surface and much better image quality due to its OLED screen. But Nintendo throws in additional perks on the OLED Model with better audio quality, 64GB which doubles the storage space of the Switch and a better kickstand.
Honestly, it’s worth upgrading to the OLED Model.
The Nintendo Switch Lite is two thirds the size of the Switch and two thirds the cost of the Switch making it the perfect handheld console for those of you that are money conscience. The Lite is designed specifically for handheld play, so you can jump into your favorite games wherever you happen to be.
The controllers are built right into the Switch Lite which allows it to fit perfectly into your hands. Add in the light, sleek design and you can stash it just about anywhere. With all of the access to the classic Nintendo titles you’ll never be bored again.
Keep your pockets heavy and get the Nintendo Switch Lite.
