Where to buy Nintendo Switch on Black Friday 2023

What to look for in a Nintendo Switch

Will you be playing in handheld mode or docked mode?

The thing you should consider before purchasing is whether or not you will be playing in a portable or docked device or both. Depending on your answer, you may gravitate towards a particular Switch model. If you plan to use both modes, the best Switch device for you is the standard Nintendo Switch. On the other hand, if you think you won’t play the Switch on your TV, you should buy a Nintendo Switch Lite.

The Nintendo Switch OLED is where things get interesting since it’s a premium model. Overall, this is the option for you if you’re looking to get the most out of your Switch and its games. If you’re more inclined to play in handheld mode than Docked mode, the Switch OLED is a worthwhile option.

Do you want to play with friends?

If you want to play games locally with your friends, the Switch Lite is something you want to avoid. Its portable nature just doesn’t allow it to connect to a TV and dock. Additionally, the lack of a kickstand or Joy-Cons means it’s difficult to experience tabletop play for local multiplayer. Both the Switch and Switch OLED have the missing features mentioned above, so we recommend choosing one of these models if you want to play a local multiplayer game.
