so you want to make the switch but which
version should you grab welcome to
watchmojo.com soul you should purchase
the standard Nintendo switch or its
newest version the Nintendo switched
light-pink tendus which is my way to
play round one size compared to Sony and
Microsoft's behemoths the PlayStation 4
and Xbox one the switch is a
surprisingly small console already
thanks to its tablet-like size users can
pack lightly when heading out and not
have to worry about lugging around a
hefty box when in handheld mode the
switch holds a little more weight than
Nintendo's previous handhelds but that's
something you have to expect for how
much power is packed into the system
unfortunately the switches size is big
enough that it doesn't fit in pockets
making it necessary for owners to fork
over and grab a case for when their
gaming on the go the switch light is
smaller than the standard model but not
by a huge margin it's big enough to
allow 720p visuals to flourish and as
the name implies it weighs less than the
standard switch the console still feels
comfortable in your hands without
carrying its predecessor's heft on top
of that the light is small enough to fit
in just about any ordinary pocket
needless to say the light accomplishes
what its title suggests the console is
less heavy than the standard switch and
the added bonus of fitting in our
pockets let's the lights feel to win
winner Nintendo switch light this
version of Nintendo switch is dedicated
to handheld play and as such is compact
lightweight and easy to take with you on
the go round 2 visuals
we all want our games to look the best
they possibly can and while it doesn't
support 4k resolution the switch manages
to bring games to life in two distinct
ways when in handheld mode the console
can support a resolution of up to 720p
which is remarkably higher than any of
Nintendo's previous handhelds
however games get far more immersive
once the switch is stationed in its dock
in glorious 1080p resolution Nintendo's
magnificent world's spring to life with
great detail
[Music]
although if you don't really care about
a boost in visuals and still want a
switch maybe you should look into
getting the light the highest resolution
the Nintendo switch light can display is
720p and the system does not support a
TV mode whereas the standard model does
while the games look good enough in
handheld mode there are some titles that
are worth experiencing on a bigger
screen so the loss in graphical quality
is a little hard to justify there's no
doubt about it the standard switch model
won this round it's TV and handheld
modes allow games to be experienced
however the user sees fit so if you want
to play Luigi's Mansion 3 on your big TV
in the living room or play it while on
your lunch break you have that option
with the light you only have the
handheld mode winner Nintendo switch
round 3 price consoles can get very
pricey and the switch is certainly no
exception
the standard model holds a beefy price
tag of 300 US dollars which is around
the same price as its competitors the
PlayStation 4 and Xbox one though if you
take into consideration that the switch
can be both a home console and a
handheld then this is quite the deal if
you're looking to save some money though
then the switch light might be what
you're looking for
unfortunately the light does come with a
few sacrifices sure the 200 u.s. dollar
price tag is much more friendly for
those on a budget but you actually
aren't getting a lot of bang for your
buck the light does not have detachable
joi cons and instead has them built into
the console so you're practically
getting just one controller if you're
looking to buy some games to play with
friends you'll have to go looking for a
2 pack of joy cons at this point you've
almost spent the same amount of money as
you would spend on a standard switch in
fact the control inputs are different
from the joy con controllers included
with the flagship Nintendo switch system
and so the I our emotions Cameron HD
rumble features have been removed it may
be better to fork over the extra hundred
dollars and get the two detachable joy
cones sure it's more expensive but at
least it won't make things awkward if
someone asks to play Smash Bros with you
winner Nintendo switch round for battery
life
[Music]
in an age where portability is
everything battery life is more
important than ever
nothing is more annoying than playing a
game for an hour or two only to be met
with a little notification at first the
standard switch did not have a
tremendous battery life lasting between
two and a half to six and a half hours
luckily Nintendo put out a newer version
of the standard model between July and
August 2019 that boasts a much longer
battery life increasing the lifespan to
between four and a half to a whopping
nine hours that's quite a bit of game
time to squeeze in and enough to last an
entire afternoon once again getting a
light all depends on how you spend your
time gaming if you don't typically spend
long afternoons powering through a meaty
game then you may not mind the lights
battery life clocking in at three to
seven hours the light has a smaller time
frame than the standard switch but it is
slightly better than the original model
that being said a light is best for
those of you who don't spend extensive
hours chugging down something as long as
Fire Emblem three houses this might be
better for a long car ride or if you
need to kill an hour or two really this
all boils down to personal preference
but the standard switch takes this round
to the console lasts much longer than
the light which makes it perfect for
some quick plays and long afternoons you
can say the same for the light but come
on who doesn't want more game time

imagine this you're playing your switch
by yourself when a stranger comes along
and asks if they can play a round of
Mario Kart or Smash Bros with you thanks
to the joy Kahn's being detachable you
had one of them did a stranger and enjoy
a few rousing games before they leave
this was one of the biggest selling
points of the switch and probably the
main reason why so many people grabbed
one two controllers that double as a
singular one as if that wasn't good
enough the standard switch included a
kickstand so you could set the console
on a table without having to prop it up
against anything how cool is that
and this is where the light uh turley
fails to impress as we mentioned before
the joy cons are built into the console
which makes it very difficult to play
with others at a moment's notice on top
of that the built-in joy cons make
certain games like sniffer clips and
Super Mario Party practically unplayable
while the light does allow regular joy
cons to connect to the console the
system lacks a kickstand which means
you'll have to play the light on a flat
surface or prop it up against something
in other words setting up is more of a
hassle to see if a game supports
handheld mode check the back of the
software packaging right here
oh and you cannot use a charging dock
with the light since it doesn't support
a TV mode sadly the switch light totally
misses what made the switch such a must
have the light may be a convenience for
people on a budget but the system fails
miserably to deliver the same experience
that the standard switch has winner

find your favorite people that play your
favorite games still thinking about
getting a light or have we sold you on
