Nintendo Switch FAQs

Which Nintendo Switch should I buy?

There are currently three versions of the Nintendo Switch. The first incarnation, the Nintendo Switch, is a handheld device that can also be used as a more traditional home console, enabling you to play games on your TV as well as on the device’s built-in touchscreen.

The Nintendo Switch comes with detachable joy-con controllers that enable wireless play when the device is docked in the supplied cradle – two controllers are supplied initially, but you can have up to eight players in this mode, if you purchase more controllers separately. It’s most instantly recognisable in its red and blue colourway but it’s also available in grey.

The second console option is the Nintendo Switch Lite – a smaller, more lightweight and more affordable console that only offers handheld play, and is therefore great for gaming on the go (not that the tablet-sized original isn’t, but this is more of a Nintendo DS successor). The touchscreen is smaller on the Lite – 5.5in compared with the larger version’s 6.2in – but the resolution is the same, making for an impressive visual experience, whichever Switch you invest in. Both consoles also include 32GB of internal memory, which you can expand upon with microSDHC or microSDXC cards. The Nintendo Switch Lite is also available in grey, as well as fun pastel colours, such as coral and turquoise.

The third console is the Nintendo Switch OLED, and it is the console that most people should go for in 2024, if they’re looking to buy a Switch machine. It has a larger, brighter screen, double the internal storage, a better kickstand and a new base. It comes in white and neon red/neon blue, as well as more limited-edition colourways. However, it is more expensive than the original Nintendo Switch.
