Our take on the Nintendo Switch Grey Console

The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid game console: it plays on a TV through its dock or as a handheld with a 6.2-inch screen. Two detachable Joy-Con controllers slide onto the sides for handheld play or into a grip for TV play, and they split for two-player sessions out of the box. It is the most flexible console for households that mix TV and portable play, though it is less powerful than the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and its hardware dates from 2017. Owners praise the game library and portability; common complaints are Joy-Con drift, short battery life on the original model and a kickstand that feels flimsy.

Questions and answers

Is the Switch worth it over the Switch OLED?
The OLED model adds a larger, brighter screen, more internal storage and a better kickstand. Choose the original if you mostly play docked on a TV; choose the OLED if you play handheld often.
Can I play it on a TV?
Yes. It sits in the included dock, which connects to a TV over HDMI, and the Joy-Con slide into a grip for controller play.
Does it come with a game?
No. The console ships with the dock, HDMI cable, power adapter, Joy-Con grip and straps; games are sold separately.
How long does the battery last?
Nintendo rates the original model at roughly 4.5 to 9 hours depending on the game; demanding titles sit at the low end.
Can two people play out of the box?
Yes. The two Joy-Con detach and work as separate controllers for local multiplayer.
Does it work with older accessories?
It uses USB-C charging and standard microSD cards, and pairs with Bluetooth headphones through a system update.
Where is the Nintendo Switch Grey Console cheapest?
At The Video Game Company, for $268.00, as of our latest check.
