You can tell Austin still writes these because anyone else at the office wrote this, they would have made a bigger deal out of the Switch Lite not docking 😂
It’s called a switch lite for a reason it ain’t a problem idk what ur on
@@shxtz7315it’s called a switch and you can’t switch from handheld to tv mode.
My issue with it was always the name. It shouldn’t be called a switch because it doesn’t switch at all. Still a great little console, but they should have thought of a different name I think
@@shxtz7315Holy crap you’re a little softie, life just be HELLLL for you 😂
@@KTLaughteryes,same here man. it so annoying me too when people complained about the swotch not switch witch they should just got the normal switch instead the xrappy lite with the crappy misleading name
You’ve got 7 years of a catalog built up, along with the retro gaming. So if you’re just now getting into the Switch, you’ve got plenty to play. More than enough to keep you busy for years.
I can say the same about the ps2, nintendo is a joke.
not really cuz you to pay a subscription to play the older retro games witch a huge loss to me.
@azurekite3870 oh wow, a whole $20 a yr to play NES, SNES and Gameboy games 🤦 if you wanna play N64 and GBA games, yeah, you'll have to upgrade to the expansion pack but they give you access to their first 3 systems for only $20.
@@legacyofthe243 Not to mention if you join a full family group that has the expansion pack, you end up only paying $12 a year, per person, for everything.
@@legacyofthe243 or i can emulate it
Bro, I can’t believe the switch is 7 years old. I was 16 when I first bought mine. I’m now 22. Damn, time flies 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Im 37 and it feels like yesterday that i got my first console a sega game gear. 🥲
You’re wrong for commenting this making me remember how quick times gone by 😢
I was 10 when it released now im 16 😭
😍
17 then 24 now
I just turned 40 and bought the Switch for my birthday. I am so excited. I would have bought one years ago but I have had a lot going on and finally decided -enough is enough, I miss Nintendo. ❤
the last super mario I played was on a gameboy advance sp 😂😂 cant wait to play all these 3d mario and zelda
I JUST got a switch for my birthday this month. the original OG switch. I have been enjoying it so much.
Great to hear! Enjoy it ❤
I suggest you hack your switch v1 to get free games/homebrew/custom themes
@@rafitoelzapatico i ordered an rcm loader with jig for a v1 i just purchased, what would you recommend as the best tutorial to follow?
Got a switch this month too. I had a 1 tb card to use for storage and slapped it in there. Got Tears of the Kingdom. I will likely reserve its use for exclussives of which there are many.
Nah literally geting mine this month because of my birthday 🤤
One of the things I like most about the switch is the ability to bring couch co-op anywhere you go. The oleds better stand and screen make it much nicer for this.
can't believe it's already been 7 years
Right!! I was in 8th grade when I got switch. I'm in college now
I remember the days when people were pissed off when it first launched with only the party games and BOTW. Wonder where those people are today.
Seriously, It's like we were in another world back then, My wife (now ex)and I stood out in line the day of release at Hastings and we both had requested that day off from work, spent the whole day playing it, brings back great memories.
does it still works?@@javierdelgado3915
Monster Hunter Rise is a very clear example of good optimization. Game is very quick and looks good(for a switch game). Always impressed me how it takes no time to load into another section.
Bought the Switch Oled Mario edition for myself as a New Years gift. Yes it is worth it (Coming from someone that has the PS5, a Gaming PC and now the Switch) Love it.
That’s the same Switch OLED I have and the Switch is my only system I own, I had a PS4 but didn’t get on with the games and then there was the issue with storage space on the hard drive and I wasn’t prepared to spend £90 to £200 on a 2TB hard drive plus i didn’t enjoy the majority of the games I had and nor was the PS4 UI great to navigate either, I love my Switch and it’s the best system I’ve had in a very long time and the most fun. Nintendo being the last of the old guard of Nintendo and Sega and having grown up with and owned more Nintendo systems than any other, the familiarity and simplicity of Nintendo’s IPs made it a no brainier to choose the Switch and will be sticking with Nintendo’s consoles moving forward.
my parents got thqt same version for me and ive been playing a lot more now :3
Adults are buying the nintendo switch so they can game in public its not just for kids. I'm buying it and I'm in my 30's.
Yep same😁
Eww I have a switch but your not gonna catch me hunched over in public playing my Nintendo switch 😂
@@ghosts2169what’s wrong with that ??? My fiance had to go to the dentist the other day ….. while I was waiting in the lobby …. Whipped out my switch pause no diddy
Same here man 😊
Redditors are manchildren. Not "adults".
Probably nobody wants to know that, but HW Legacy got updated and runs FAR BETTER in the open world environment. In the meantime Arkham Asylum got an update that (mostly) fixed the stuttering while running. Also, Turn Me Up stated that they're actively working on City and Knight patches and they're coming soon
It’s still holding up and I’m playing new games on it like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown. Although, it is time for an update! I need a little resolution & FPS bump.
@@francissantiago4110nobody wants to play on that fatass hand held
Cyberpunk?
Then don't buy a Switch lmao what a retarded statement Nintendo doesn't care about visual or performance
Holding up? Still paying for next get prices 💀
Just use emulation you can get superior visuals and performance compared to even the switch 2
The only switch I have used is the Lite Version. Got it for $130 2 years ago and it still works amazing. Love the Lite!
You will never know the comfort of lying in bed, having the screen set up and just playing with your joy-cons in each hand while your arms rest next to your body. Believe me, it is amazing
@@fayelinae We got our nephew a regular switch OLED in December. I’m not a fan of the joy-cons by themselves. I have no idea why 🤦🏾♀️😭.
@@Kikibrat2 joycons are not comfortable for extended periods of time. The switch lite has way better ergonomics
Love it until you go bankrupt buying games
@@HypeXeskthere's a new flashcart btw..
the lite was released in September 2019 btw
I remember coming across this channel when he was just starting and watching his videos. I came across it again and am blown away with how far it’s come. Keep it up brotha
keep up work man n hope to see more bro
Another classic austin Evan’s video reviewing the Switch!
I just bought a switch lite two days ago
Since I never had a switch, the lite will let me enjoy what I missed without spending much, and when the switch 2 is released, I'll be able to experience these games in a TV.
well nintedo hasn't said at all if the normal switch games will work on the switch 2 and if you really wanted to play the games on the tv then you shpuld have bought the normal switch instead.
Honestly, are you really saving that much buying a Lite instead of a regular Switch? After tax, you're still paying like $230-250 or so for the Switch Lite right? At that point, the regular Switch is another $50 plus tax. Not only that but you're missing out on the key feature of the Switch being able to be docked or undocked. You're also missing out on the slight overclock and resolution that plugging the Switch into the dock provides. Example: 720p vs 1080p.
I'd recommend u to play the games that were released on the Switch in it's first years (zelda breath of the wild, mario odyssey, mario kart 8, smash bros, xenoblade chronicles 2..etc) as the last games might get a re-release or graphical patches on the upcoming switch
@@kingzach74 I've used both a Switch Lite and an OLED.
My PC monitor is OLED, and I appreciate the difference, but I always prefered the Lite for a plethora of reasons.
1. It fits in my pocket, a portable console that isn't portable also loses a "key feature".
2. I love the colourful models, not just on the joycons, but a full, blue unit.
3. It may only be £50 or so more for a normal one, but know what else is £50? A whole new game or two.
I see why people would prefer the big ones, but why would I buy something with an OLED display only to not use said OLED display?
Needless to say, I kept the Lite.
@@azurekite3870 the Switch 2 will almost certainly be backwards compatible with current Switch games, Nintendo’s not gonna piss off it’s Switch install base or just abandon the switch brand when it’s been so successful for them.
I bought 2 oled switch's at Christmas for my kids,they absolutely love them 👌
The SoC in the Switch has to be worth about 50 cents at this point.
It's from 2015
A PS4 is from earlier.
@@JustanotherNPC8454 and it's way better
it can barely beat ps3/xbox 360 processor xd
@@knockbitzhd "barely beat" lol
The ps3 and 360 cant even run the original skyrim at 720p
I bought mine today 🙊 I had to get my hands on the red one. Who doesn’t love portability?!!
Those who never leave our Grandmas basement?
I completed Hogwarts in handheld mode on my Oled. Shockingly good.
did you get all the challenges at 100%, or did you ''complete'' the story only? :P ( im working on all challenges RN, on pc, and its such a drag! )
@@strubbleler completed all the main and side quests, Merlin trials, and demiguise statues. I haven’t found all the scrolls yet. There’s one in the castle that I can’t find! So mostly completed, lol
whoaaa nice duude! that is a lot of work!
i started collecting all the Demiguises, while playig the story, so at the end, i naturally collected them all! im currently on merlin trials, only 10 more to go, and i still need to do all the sidequests, ive done all the balloon popping, those weird landing pads, astronomy tables!
most of all, im very much not looking forward to do the breeding, and get all those lame ass furniture things.
aside from farming health potions, that room for your own furniture is so lame! @@SuperForRealsWiiGamr
@@SuperForRealsWiiGamrI heard that it has some resolution issues that it look pretty blurry is it true
@@Shin-hk4tu very true. Resolution can be abysmal at times.
Just ordered a refurbished Switch 2019 model. Cant wait!
The switch was never meant for hardcore gaming……….
Shut up
Yeah but since they realise games like Hogwarts and Pokemon arceus …. They have to do something ..they can’t give just a game and looking shit .. if the console can’t afford that kind of game just don’t realise them ..
@@Mantzii to be fair the technology in the Nintendo switch is almost 10 years old at this point (I know it came out in 2017 but it has a 2015 SOC)
And yet it's outselling the "hardcore" game systems
Don't release hardcore games on it then? The fact that Pokemon barely runs is laughable.
I bought one this month, never had one before. It was an impulse buy because I could and not a lot of thinking behind it. I didn’t get it for exclusives. I just wanted something to play in bed. Now I’ve spent over 200$ on games. But I’m very happy with the OLED model. And judging by Switch 2’s LCD screen, I am definitely not regretting it. Once Switch 2 gets an OLED version I will upgrade.
I had the original, lite and now i have the Oled since last year, stil love it😀🇧🇻
I'm convinced they timed the switch snap on the bg tv to happen each time they cut to Austin's face - lol :D
That lemon analogy was perfect.
I thought it was ridiculous when the OLED came out but I was shocked when I saw a display model in stores. the difference in picture quality was much more noticeable than I expected
yes, it's amazing, completely renewed my interest for the Switch. in some ways it's still a better console than the steam deck or ally just because of the screen, battery life, and weight. I know the Deck has OLED now but that just happened and it still can't come close to the battery life or weight. and if you add a $20 plastic grip, the Switch has better ergonomics too
And then you realize it's 720p and worse than steam deck oled
@@grthjryrd7552not really you can only play 1-2 hour in steam deck therefore nintendo is much more better
I just bought used OLED switch, my last Nintendo console was the GBA, I have a lot to catch up on...
first guy i used to watch on youtube. good shit duncan
love your videos austin!
Ill be honest, i just recently sold my switch lite and got an xbox series s. However, ive been on your side all along, i loved my switch lite as it was good enough for what i needed. Part of the reason i sold it was because i just wanted a different platform with different games, not because of performance or any issues
Even check back two years on your switch lite video i was defending you in the comments my boy
Do you recommend the switxh lite? I’ve a RTX 4060 Pc and a Ps4 or should I get the normal switch
@@Carlo775 I bought a switch lite, I would say i kind of regret it since you cant play games like mario party. Also when im chilling on my pc, sometimes i wish i could dock to my 2nd monitor, so i dont have to play on a small screen. Unless you want to play the switch only games like pokemon, zelda mario, etc, its not worth getting a switch/switch lite. Just buy a steam deck
@@Carlo775Its up to you if you plan to play games on a tv/monitor, then that’s where you should invest in a regular switch. But if you know you will only play by yourself and probably only a select handful of single player games, then the switch lite is great
@@Carlo775 If you're planning on just playing handheld and don't really care about having the TV docking feature, a Switch Lite should be fine for you. But if you feel like you really need the dock, I would instead look into getting a regular Switch secondhand for cheaper than the retail price.
Can't believe i waited till 2024 to finally buy a switch OLED. Best $300 I've spent and worth every penny!
Me tooo!
How's it
Me three!
As a game boy advance kid growing up, this is legit like everything I’ve ever imagined of a cracked out gameboy in the future growing up back then lol the OLED version at least
At this point in time i'd advise anyone to wait for the next iteration, I have no doubt it's coming or at least getting announced this year!
I love my olded! I play lots of indie games so it isn’t too demanding. I love my switch and will play it for years to come.
I have really wanted to play Tears, but I can't justify 350.00 for one game that isn't even smooth running - so I'm hoping that whatever Nintendo has coming - I'll be able to buy that ( even if at a higher price ) and play Tears finally, without the technical issues. I'm old. I don't have time or money to spend on last gen glitches and frustrating experiences I guess.
Good review.
Just bought a switch oled last week and will probably enjoy it for many years
I've been rockin' a Switch Lite since three years ago, i'm good with my actual console for the moment, i grow up playing portable consoles so, for at home gaming i use my PS4 or my Gaming PC, but while i can't say i don't get impressed by high end graphics i don't feel like not having them is a deal breaker for me, i bring my Switch lite with me and two 8bitdo lite 2 on a small case and i can play with friends wherever i go, at the end of the day a big point for buying hardware is planing what you want, what you can do and what you can overcome to make your equipment more suitable for you. If Switch 2 arrives this year i'll wait a little bit to get it, i don't feel in the need to upgrade yet, i hope the Metroid Remastered 2 and 3 arrives to Switch too.
Yeah the only sad part is the Switch 2 is projected for early 2025 😢
Got my Switch OLED last week and I´m very happy with it. I alreay own a PS5, but saw on the Switch an opportunity to play more with my girlfriend and friends, as well as play while I´m travelling. I also jailbroke it, so I can even run Sony´s Remote Play on it and play my PS5 games where ever I want to.
Wait wait what I didn't know thats possible I'll like into that too
@@Silagane yep if you can mod a switch you can stream anything on it ps5 or pc i stream my pc games on switch
I caught this video at the perfect launch time, I love it
I just know if they made one today, it would do great for the sheer fact of how far ARM processors have become and how much the cost of SSDs has dropped. The switch is the perfect balance of price & portability of course at the post of power.
Im gonna get my first switch in the next couple months, and just play the 7 years worth of games even if it goes out of support.
I just ordered my Switch oled from Amazon today.
I still have a heap of games on the backlog fot this thing. it's a decent time to dive in to all the exclusives if you plan to buy secondhand
The "micro loading screen", as you called it, isn't Switch-related... HL is simply atrociously badly optimized and even does that on a 7800X3D, 64GB of DDR5 6000 RAM and an RTX 4080.
My brother played the PS5 version of Hogwarts Legacy and he bought the Switch version and he's still enjoying it just as much on switch despite tbe compromises.
I'm so excited to see what Switch 2 brings.
They really need to make the next switch they have been stalling it for way to long
I'm 59 and just bought a Lite and am loving it
I never had a video game, and I’ve wanted a switch since I first saw it in 2019…I just got the OLED. Can’t wait to play it.
The fact that all this stuff is the SAME PRICE as it was when it released, basically, drives me absolutely insane. Every one should drop at least $50 by now.
Mario kart 8 deluxe for $60 is still insane 7 years later
2014* mk8 came out on the wiiu!!@@kyongu375
You can play it on your phone in 2024
Just bought a switch for the first time in 2024. It’s pretty cool.
good games.
Nice screen.
joycons motion is horrid for house of the dead and martian panic. (third party option joycon was better actually) Afraid in getting arms and switch sports. Joycon drift isn't my problem but i hear people have issue with it.
hoping for less defective stuff.
My girlfriend jus bought me a Zelda edition switch OLED at C2E2 this weekend 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
It's a great system. And if it packs backward compatibility, the Super Nintendo Switch (that's what they should call it) will be a huge seller.
It would be better with some themes, 7 years Nintendo cmon already 😂
its awful because you cant play old pokemon games etc, just a handful of crap old games that were made sure to not damage nintendo game sales.
@@Blue-sb4hvwhat
@@masterace9543that’s never coming buddy 😂
@@Blue-sb4hv dude you’re talking 💩not go back to your PS5,Xbox Series X or lame PC, coz Switch stomps them all better exclusives and a much better library of games now be quiet!
I love the transparent joycons on that OLED ❤
I bought and OLED Switch 3 days ago. I had not played nintendo games since 2010. I also never owned a Switch before. Everything is new to me right now. I have a very, very expensive PC setup and the Switch is just FUN. That's it. If I let my graphic expectations down (frame rate is a whole other story) then yea, it's still worth it. If you have a similar situation to mine, you will be very happy.
You could still buy a Steam Deck and run emulators which my friend yaps about all the time but, you can't play online with friends. Sooo perhaps if you are more tech savvy you should probably buy a Steam Deck so you can get access to both sides of the coin. I don't have any games I would rather play on my Steam Deck than my PC so the Switch just made sense.
Just bought a mario red edition oled for only $190 in my country. Can't wait to play mario kart and smash bro's!
I can't believe, I watched the Lite Video 5 years ago and had immediately purchased mine online.😢
You’re still getting a great system with loads of great games! We don’t know anything about the next nintendo console nor has anything been confirmed about it so i think its fine for you to get a switch at this time
I think the performance issues for Pokemon arent a switch issue, bit a franchise issue. I love pokemon but I'm so frustrated by the lack of fully voiced dialogue in the games; even the cutscenes have no VA. They also pump out games too frequently, they need to put more time into their games but they've gotten lazy bc they're gonna sell regardless.
Absolutely but then even on well optimized games like Tears of the Kingdom or the Xenoblade games, while it’s impressive how decently they run, you can tell it’s not optimal
Lack of fully voice acted dialogue in video games is not nearly as big an issue as you think it is. Games have had zero voice acting for decades and the overwhelming majority of video games considered "great" or "the best" either don't have any or what voice acting they did have was so inconsequential to what actually made them good that it might as well not have been there.
I agree, it’s nothing to do with the switch hardware it’s everything to do with game freak, been incompetent developers and the recent Pokémon games don’t even look good so how can it be a switch issue when the games look so bad. They look like PS2 games or at worst PS1 games.
I just got my first switch this year
got a switch for my bday ended up getting a killer deal on a star wars game that came with 7 other games. pikman 4 ( havent played since the first pikman ) then i got red dead with undead nightmare so far so good on the portability factor
Hogwarts Legacy still runs better on Switch than my “gaming” laptop with 8GB RAM and GTX 1050…
1050? Im not surprised 😅
I just bought a switch last October lol
I always buy systems right before the next one launches...they always have deals around this time and all the games have already dropped. I always have the best stuff (from 5 years ago)
7 years and still going strong love my zelda oled and yes so many games and a plus if you get switch online you got even more games to play this was a true winner for Nintendo. I hope that if they do a switch 2 I hope they keep this design as it works so so good.
Switch is the 1 system i sold and regretted. I then bought the OLED 2 yrs ago and it has been my main gaming system since and I absolutely love it, and now with the Read Dead, Hogwarts, and Batman releases, what more can you ask for.
A better frame rate tbh
@@Basstyle1I think they play just fine 🤷🏽♂️.
In my opinion, the switch, even the lite model, is best for Nintendo exclusives and the online catalog.😊.
Nah. A Gaming PC(or handheld gaming PC like a Steamdeck (or any other handheld that runs Windows) and a Switch Emulator(Yuzu or Ryujinx) are best for Nintendo Exclusives. They are far more powerful, can support higher resolutions, and higher framerates, and you're not limited to Nintendo's frankly subpar controllers.
I've pretty much stopped using my Switch entirely since I started using Switch Emulation(I use my gaming desktop with discreet graphics and desktop CPU). I get significantly higher framerates and PHENOMENALLY BETTER resolution(up to 4K 30FPS!), and while I understand not everyone wants to use a computer to play games, in general, it is a MUCH better overall experience when you have a proper gaming device to run the games.
@@kingzach74emulator shit
@@kingzach74 the Switch stomps these niche PC handheld systems because they don’t have that Nintendo magic and simplicity and scummy people who hate Nintendo will illegally pirate their games!
How does it run just for first party games? I have a PC for gaming, but I am interested in nintendo games, like Mario Tennis, this Kirby remake, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, and a few others.
Look.
20 years ago for my 10th birthday I got my Gameboy advance sp with Pokémon ruby, and I just want to feel that again 😭
Can’t believe there’s still not much new with the switch at this era of gaming.
The hardware was outdated at launch. A million ports. Expensive games that never go on sale. I own one, it's the least used system I own. Nintendo lives off of nostalgia and fan boys. Don't get me wrong, I have spent A LOT of money with Nintendo. I already own a lot of the games the switch offers, on older Nintendo systems. Nintendo owes it's customers a new console running current gen hardware and NEW games. I only use it for Nintendo exclusives. If a game is offered across all three platforms, switch will always look the worst. It definitely has it's charm, and is a great handheld. I just feel Nintendo is trying to squeeze every dime out of an outdated console.
Same bro I got a PS5 and lt’s wayyyyy better for me personally (Also got a portal works flawlessly)
Should we sell the dang thing? 😅 I think about selling it
Third party goes on sale but ya Nintendo’s own games are always expensive
If you haven't gotten one yet, you're better off waiting for the Switch 2 (which is very likely to release this year) or buy it used
Apparently it's been postponed
Yeah of those 4500 hundred games 4200 are straight trash…which leaves us with 20 year old remakes and spin off Nintendo games and like a few third party games and shitty Nintendo Online, but hey leta praise The switch. I was good for it’s time but let’s be honest, the switch did not give us much and I hope after some time passes people will realize that.
I'll be getting a used dockable Switch sometime soon.
I look forward to playing some Mario and Zelda games again.
Yeah dude it was awesome playing super Mario bros for the first time in 15 years again
@@daeganj I haven't really played any 3D Mario games since 64, so I have a lot of catching up to do. 😅

If any one of you that can only plays Mobile game since 2017 the graphics and lags is diabolical especially online games
I am waiting patiently to hear news about a Switch 2 👀👀
Really this just boils down to one concept: Do you want to play Nintendo games? Fact is is most people buy the Switch for exclusives, unlike other consoles (not that their exclusives arent damn fine). And even when you factor in the end of lifespan, there are incredible deals on used Switches that still make it worth the purchase IMO.
One of the greatest Switch ports I've ever seen is "Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core Reunion." The game looks incredibly good on the Switch, and runs with 0 slowdown or framedrops, amazing porting work
Austin really just wanted an excuse to play games at work. Gotta get the b roll footage somehow.
The switch is such a great console and it’s refreshing Nintendo is sticking to their roots. I grew up in the game boy. It brings me joy to see my son enjoying his switch similar to how I did the game boy.
I love the switch but had to get rid of mine cause I couldn't afford the games for it and they never drop the price much on the games
That is my problem with the switch the games are too expensive to play and the quality is dog water

@extra4542 yea, that's true. I personally wouldn't buy a switch 2, though if it isn't
@@TurtleMan2023 But if it will be backwards compatible, why they did not confirm that anywhere? They know ppl will restrain from buying switch games until that info drops. That is why I think that they will hold that info until very close to release and just say that it is not.
At this point, if you’re playing a switch and not modding it, you’re missing out soo much. The switch homebrew community have had soo much time to release soo many cool things.
Its kinda sad that many triple a games from 2015-present need a demaster just to run on the switch
I know these videos are recorder weeks prior to the upload. But it's crazy they even announced Ace Combat 7 switch port in july 2024.
I beat ac7 on the other platforms, multiple times. Ill be buying the switch for portability, and also because i am genuinely curious about a 2019 ps4/xb1 game's performance on ghe switch.
I want to buy a Switch but I can't make the decision yet. I really want to wait for the Switch 2 if it's coming in 2025

The worst problem with the switch is joycons. They haven't fixed that god damn drift after all these years and I'm pretty sure they didn't even try
They don't care 😂 they literally don't care. Nintendo is a joke.
@@micknightmare3 your comment is a joke coz 132 million people have bought the Switch and it stomps the competition. Talk to the ✋
Problem is they really don't go down on the used market at all, so it's not even like you can get one second hand for cheap. I personally hate how the joycons feel. I know you can use an external controller though in docked mode, it's an option, but I feel like it defeats the 'switch' part. The switch lite feels *SO MUCH* better and more solid, but you get no video out with that so you lose the console. I feel like you have to pick "console" or "portable" with the switch vs switch lite and then you suffer with the other.
Gonna get one of those MIG SWITCH cartridges so I can walk around with loads of games on one switch.

I still have my launch switch and have been thinking about getting a oled idk if I should tho or just wait until the switch 2. The switch I have now averages around one to one and a half hours of battery life
I played DS remastered on Switch and I have enjoyed, no issues.
I haven't touched my switched for more than a couple minutes in like 3 years? the online is garbage and not worth the money, the ecosystem is very anti consumer (you have to pay for cloud saves, you can't buy old games released on their classic online service, etc), the performance for most third party and even some of the first party (looking at you pokemon) is mid to awful at best, and the form factor in hand held is terrible for me (notably the flatness of the back of the system leads me using a claw grip on the back which leads to cramping after about 30 minutes). I could probably come up with some other things, but I'll leave it at that. Now that I have a steamdeck, my need to use my switch is non-existent.
Well, Switch is still objectively better in portable (way more comfortable while still preserving an human size) than any other portable pc’s.
I donno I can't put my steamdeck down compare to my switch Which I did
I bought a switch lite on June 2023 and hated it. Thought it was dated already. Some games were lagging. Then I modded it, overclocked it. Now it is my favorite console over my playstation. I can also play my games on pc using sysDVR. Modding saved the switch for me!
You were playing the wrong games on Switch but then I’m not a techno nerd so I don’t notice much frame drops on Switch.
