The Nintendo Switch arrived on March 1st 2017. After years of anticipation, the successor to the popular Wii U had finally arrived, but has it lived up to the hype? Nintendo has been releasing home entertainment products for over thirty years, but it was the unveiling of the Nintendo Wii in 2006 that really laid the foundations for the Switch. The Wii Remote was the first mainstream system to offer motion capture technology, enabling users to play tennis or join virtual exercise classes. This buyer’s guide should help you decide whether the Nintendo Switch is the games console for you, and how to find the best Nintendo Switch deals.
If you're in the market for a games console, you're probably feeling out your options. Here's a quick summary on how the Nintendo Switch faces up to its competition:
Xbox One – While Xbox One has vastly better graphics, a wider-selection of titles, it's missing key franchises like Zelda and Mario. It also isn't a portable console.
PS4 – A more powerful graphics card and processor lets you access a wider range of games, but you won't be able to play Nintendo franchises or play portably.
Mobile Gaming – The most popular handheld gaming option at the moment, you can access games with better graphics on your phone (like PUBG) but the lack of dedicated controllers makes for clunkier gaming.
In 2019, Nintendo launched the Nintendo Switch Lite, a console dedicated completely to handheld gaming. It has a better battery life, but doesn't support TV output or have removable joy-cons, so it won't be for everyone. Let's compare the Nintendo Switch vs Nintendo Switch Lite in the table below.
If you want to charge your Nintendo Switch console using the Nintendo Switch Dock, then follow these easy steps.
Connect the Nintendo Switch AC adapter to the Nintendo Switch dock. To this, open the back of the dock, and insert the AC adapter USB plug into the top termina of the dock. The terminal is labelled "AC Adapter".
Connect the Nintendo Switch AC Adapter into the wall socket.
Once the Nintendo Switch dock has been plugged in and has power, place the Nintendo Switch into the dock. The LCD screen must face the front of the docking station and the USB-C port must connect to the port.
The Nintendo Switch should now be charging. The LCD screen should power on and the battery charging indicator should be displayed in the upper-right corner of the screen.
The Nintendo Switch will require roughly 3 hours to fully charge.
Remember to search for a Nintendo Switch bundle with the right mix of Nintendo Switch accessories as well. If you want to play with five people, you’ll need extra Joy-Con controllers. If you intend to spend hours on Mario Kart Deluxe, the steering wheel could be essential. Shop around, wait a few days and see which deals come up. You’ll probably find a saving that cuts the Nintendo Switch price.
