New to gaming. Switch advice.

Lonehare12

Hi everyone


I’ve seen some of you talk about gaming here, and it’s made me think about trying it too. I’m looking at getting a Nintendo Switch (but I’m not sure about the normal one vs the Lite).

I would probably get a second hand one from Cex.


I’m totally new to gaming — would you recommend it for beginners, and what games should I start with?


Thanks

  • The Switch lite is mostly for portable use so you can use it on the go. So if you gon on holiday, on a train, to school or college, etc. The Lite is smaller, has a smaller screen and it has no TV output but it's convenient. It's pretty much a handheld device, like the DS but better.

    Personally I would go for the Switch Lite. I don't go out much but when I do it's nice to take it with me as it relaxes me if I'm on public transport or in a coffee shop and the battery life is really good.

    My must have games are the Zelda games, Pokemon, Mario Kart 8, Kirby and the forgotten land and I love Luigi's Mansion 3. Oh and give Two Point Hospital a try as well. It's a fun hospital management simulation game. I have that one on PC as well.

    Thank you for the advice.

    It's good to get the extra details on how it fits around your lifestyle too.

    I have played Mario cart before but it's ages ago when my son was little on a Nintendo Wii. It was my favourite game. I have heard about the Zelda games but I'll do some research into what they're about.

    You're welcome! It's a good idea to get lots of different opinions and then do your own research as well to help you decide on what's best for you. The good news is you can get Mario Kart 8 deluxe on the Switch! Stuck out tongue closed eyes It's such a good game. There's going to be a new Mario Kart World game for the Nintendo Switch 2 as well which I'm sooo excited about. To me the Mario Kart games just keep getting better and better. 

    Sorry for derailing your thread! It was unintended!

    No worries at all

    I need all the information I can get.

    I don't even know what derailing the thread actually means, so I wouldn't have noticed.

    I haven't noticed anything. Slight smile
