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

  • Hi Lonehare,

    I bought my Switch Lite a couple of years ago and I have to say I love playing it. I especially enjoy playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons - that’s probably my favourite, but I also have puzzle games and also Pokémon: Let’s go (Eevee Version). It is great when I am going on a long journey (if I am not driving of course) or if I am going somewhere like hospital for example and I can just curl up in the back of the car and focus on that as it takes my mind off stressful hospital visits. 

    I am looking into getting Pokémon Sword or Shield for my next game (when I can afford it lol). 

    I chose the Switch Lite as I didn’t feel I would get much use out of the full OLED version as I’m the only person in my household that plays things like that. Mum does play games on her iPad and so do I, but I do enjoy the Switch Lite as I can play different games than the iPad can give.

    My brother and his family in Montreal does have the full version Switch OLED as the kids (9, 5 and 2) can all play games on there together whilst it’s linked to the TV screen - so the OLED Switch is probably the equivalent of the Nintendo Wii. 

    Choice is up to you of course - I am sure you will enjoy playing it once you get properly into it.

    Hope this helps and enjoy your new gaming experience.

    Hi 

    Good to meet you.

    Thank you for responding. It really helps me to get different perspectives. Thank you for the note about the OLED.

    I'm pleased you have found something that can take your mind off hospital visits too. Anything that can help with those is a bonus.

    Have a good day. Slight smile
