Game Here, There, Anywhere with Nintendo Switch Consoles!
What's the best Nintendo Switch to buy?
When you think of Nintendo, two words come to mind: portable gaming. No one does it better! Their latest offering in video game consoles, the Nintendo Switch family allows you to game anytime and anywhere. You can choose from:
- Nintendo Switch 2 – The latest Nintendo Switch takes everything you loved about the original and adds even more magic! Play anywhere with new magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers, enjoy a massive 256GB of storage, and experience sharper, smoother graphics.
- Nintendo Switch Original – Classic for a reason! Play your way with three different modes, including TV, tabletop, and handheld. Game on the big screen, flip out the kickstand to share the fun, or take it on the go with Joy-Con controllers.
- Nintendo Switch OLED – As versatile as the original, elevated for next-level play. Enjoy a larger, more vibrant OLED screen, enhanced onboard speakers, a wider kickstand, and a LAN port for wired internet – handheld mode never looked (or played) this good.
- Nintendo Switch Lite – The compact, lightweight sibling of the fan-favourite Switch. Featuring a 5.5-inch touchscreen, integrated controls, and up to 7 hours of battery life, it’s the ideal pick for handheld gaming on the go.
Is it worth getting a Nintendo Switch?
It's not just a new Nintendo Switch console – it's a serious glow-up! Take a look:
- Joy-Con 2 Controllers – Exclusive to the Switch 2, these now snap-on magnetically (no more mid-game detachments!), feature a clever “mouse mode” for gliding across surfaces, and a new ‘C’ button to activate built-in voice chat.
- Bigger, Better Screen – A 7.9-inch LCD screen with sharper resolution and faster refresh rates – a serious step up from the original 6.2-inches.
- More Storage – Goodbye, storage stress! The Switch 2 packs a massive 256GB for games, saves, and updates.
- Backwards Compatibility – Want to replay old favourites? Most Switch games – both cards and downloads – are still supported on Switch 2.
Don’t forget to hang on to your old Joy-Cons and Pro Controllers – they still connect wirelessly but won’t work with new features like mouse mode.
Does Nintendo Switch have backward compatibility?
Yep! The Switch 2 is backwards compatible with most Switch games – so you can bring your faves along for the ride, now with upgraded visuals and smoother performance.
Plus, with Nintendo Switch Online, you’ll get instant access to a treasure trove of retro classics, from NES and SNES to N64 and Game Boy. Go all-in with the Expansion Pack to unlock even more iconic titles, including SEGA Genesis, Game Boy Advance, and GameCube (exclusive to Switch 2)!
