The Switch V2 is Nintendo's hybrid console: it sits in a dock for TV play and lifts out for handheld play on its 6.2-inch screen. Two Joy-Con controllers each work as a standalone pad, pair in the included grip like a standard controller, or split between two players for instant multiplayer. The V2 revision is the standard model with improved battery life over the original launch unit, and it remains the cheaper, dockable alternative to the handheld-only Switch Lite. It suits households that want shared TV play and travel play from one device, and buyers who want Nintendo's own games rather than the most powerful hardware.

Owners rate the Switch V2 highly for its flexibility and game library. The most common long-term complaint is Joy-Con stick drift, and some find the handheld size heavy compared with the Lite.
Nintendo Switch is a game system that works both at home and on the go. At home, it rests in the Nintendo Switch dock, which connects to a TV for play with family and friends. Lifting it from the dock switches it to handheld mode, so the same game continues on the move.
The handheld screen is 6.2 inches and shows bright, high-definition gameplay. The system comes with two Joy-Con controllers. Each one works as a standalone controller with an analog stick, a full set of face and shoulder buttons, built-in motion sensing and HD Rumble.
The Joy-Con can be inserted into a Joy-Con grip accessory to be used like a traditional controller. They can also be held one in each hand for independent left and right motion controls, or shared between two players for multiplayer gaming at the TV or on the go.
