Is the Nintendo Switch the Right Choice for Parents?
1. Switch Versions?
This Switch is the original version that was released first. This version has a slightly less powerful battery but can be connected to the TV unlike the
Switch Lite.
2. On the Go
All Nintendo Switch systems support the ability to play on the go without a TV. When friends also have a Switch, you can play together on multiple systems at the same time.
3. Durable
The Switch is made entirely of plastic and metal and is not easily breakable. The system is not waterproof but can withstand some splashes of water.
4. 1000+ Games
The Nintendo Switch is very popular, even among teenagers, which means that more than 1000 games have been released for it. Fortnite is free to download but rated 12+ due to "headshots." Games from Nintendo are only available on the Switch and not on an Xbox or PlayStation. So, games like Pokémon, Mario, Zelda, Kirby, etc., can only be found on the Switch!
5. On TV
This Switch has the option to connect to the TV. You detach the two controllers (Joy-Cons) from the Switch. This way, it can be used as 1 or even 2 separate controllers, allowing for immediate multiplayer gaming. This is what makes the Nintendo Switch so fun for families!
6. What Do I Need?
This Nintendo Switch comes with two Joy-Con controllers as standard but without games. You can purchase additional
controllers, with an extra set of
Joy-Cons, you can play with up to 4 players. We recommend
Mario Kart and
Mario Odyssey as the first games to buy. There are also many top games available for around 10 euros:
Games for kids!
Is Buying a Switch, Game PC, Xbox, or PlayStation a Better Choice?
A Game PC, Xbox, or PlayStation offer better graphics and encourage online play. The Switch, on the other hand, is often taken to friends' places to sit together and enjoy gaming. Each person can play on their own Switch but still be in the same game.
Considerations at a glance:
- Some games only available on the Switch like Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon
- This version can also connect to the TV
- Play on the go
- Less powerful battery compared to other models
