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.

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.

@@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.

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.

Lack of fully voice acted dialogue in video games is not nearly as big an issue as you think it is.

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.

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.

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.

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.
