Is the standard Switch still worth buying over the OLED model?

If you mostly play docked or want to spend less, yes. The OLED model adds a brighter 7-inch screen, a wider kickstand, double the storage and longer battery life, which matter most in handheld play.

How much storage does it have, and do I need a microSD card?

It has 32GB built in, and part is used by the system. Most owners add a microSD card, since large games can take several gigabytes each.

How long does the battery last?

Nintendo rates roughly 4.5 to 9 hours depending on the game. Demanding titles like Zelda sit near the low end.

Can I play it on a TV?

Yes. Dock it with the included HDMI cable and it outputs up to 1080p at 60Hz. Handheld mode runs at 720p.

The console, a dock, an HDMI cable, an AC adapter, a Joy-Con grip, two Joy-Con straps and the two gray Joy-Con controllers.

Can two people play out of the box?

Yes. Detach the two Joy-Con and each works as a separate controller for local multiplayer, though a second pair or a Pro Controller is better for serious play.

Our take on the Nintendo Switch Gaming Console 32GB with Gray Joy-Con

The original Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console: it docks to a TV and slides out as a handheld with a 6.2-inch screen. Its two Joy-Con controllers detach for two-player play and motion control, and the 32GB of storage fills quickly, so a microSD card is close to essential. It suits households and commuters who want Nintendo exclusives like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Zelda, but the LCD screen, short battery life and 1080p TV output fall short of the OLED model.
