Should you wait to buy a Nintendo Switch 2?
With Nintendo's new console due to come out in the coming months, it might be worth holding out and saving your money to buy a Switch 2 instead.
Granted, while we know there's a new console in the pipeline, Nintendo hasn't confirmed a launch date or pricing yet. All we know is that it's coming sometime in 2025. We're hoping to see more info during the next Nintendo Direct event on 2 April.
That said, with a model coming out, we're hoping to see some price reductions on the original Switch and the Switch OLED.
Thinking of getting a Switch 2? Here'severything we know about the new Nintendo console.
How much does a Nintendo Switch typically cost?
A new Nintendo Switch typically costs £259.99 from the Nintendo Store
A Switch OLED is a bit more expensive, usually costing around £309.99 from the Nintendo Store
A Switch Lite is the cheapest option and will typically set you back £199.99 from the Nintendo Store
What is the difference between a Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, and Switch Lite?
The Nintendo Switch is the base model of Switch. It comes with a dock you can use to play games on your TV and outputs to 1080p. You can use it as a handheld, as a TV console or propped up on a table using the built-in kickstand. It comes with 32 gigabytes of internal storage.
Think of the OLED model as a souped-up Switch. The Switch OLED differs from the other models by having a seven-inch OLED screen. It has better speakers, more internal storage, a more adjustable kickstand and can be hooked up to a wired ethernet through its dock. It still outputs at 1080p onto TVs, like the regular Switch.
The Switch Lite is a Switch that's more focused on the handheld capabilities of the console. It's the cheapest but it has a smaller screen, can't connect to TVs and doesn't come with a dock like the other two models. It comes with 32 gigabytes of internal storage.
All Switch models can have their storage expanded with a mirco-SD card to fit two terabytes of games.

What do I need to know before buying a Nintendo Switch?
The biggest question to ask when buying any games console is how you'll primarily be using it and what kinds of games you'll want to play.
If you travel a lot and want something portable, a Nintendo Switch could be a great option. It's also the most budget-friendly major console, with the cheapest model – the Switch Lite – costing under £200, compared to Microsoft's Xbox Series S (£250), and Sony's PlayStation 5 digital (£390). Both the Xbox and PlayStation require a TV or computer monitor to game on, too.
Nintendo gets most new releases, has a wide catalogue of their own exclusive titles, has thousands of indie games, plus older games are remade or ported over to be released on the console.
The Switch offers an all-in-one gaming solution and a lot of options for most types of gamers. However, if you're looking to play the newest Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege, or Valorant, you might be better off with a PlayStation or Xbox, as those games aren't on Switch.
Like other consoles, you'll need to pay extra for an online multiplayer subscription, which costs £18 a year.

What games are available on Nintendo Switch?
Nintendo is well-known for their exclusive games and franchises like Mario, Kirby, Splatoon, Fire Emblem, the Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Metroid, and Animal Crossing.
You can find most games on a Nintendo Switch these days, including more mature titles like BioShock, older Grand Theft Auto games, The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption, and several Assassin's Creed titles. There are also competitive online multiplayer titles like Overwatch 2, Fortnite, and Apex Legends. Plus classic multiplayer games such as Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros., Warioware, and Mario Party.
Most new releases are available on Switch, although due to the console's less powerful hardware, the Switch versions of newer games may not look as good as their console or PC counterparts so they're not as computationally demanding on the handheld.
How to recycle your old Nintendo tech
If you're upgrading from another console to a new Nintendo Switch, you might be wondering what to do with the old one.
Nintendo's advice on how to dispose of your old Nintendo consoles is to check where your nearest recycling point is with your local authority and take it there to be recycled, along with any other electronics you no longer need or want.
Electronics such as Nintendo games consoles cannot be disposed of in your general household waste or kerbside recycling.
