The original Nintendo Switch design has proved itself to be popular as an all-rounder that embraces the console’s hybrid nature. In the box, you’ll find a Switch console, two detachable Joy-Con controllers, a dock, a charger, and an adapter for turning the Joy-Con controllers into a more traditional joypad.
This package allows you to use the Switch in both handheld and docked modes, either on the go or while connected to a TV. Though the chip used in the Switch has had a minor update since the original launched in 2017, performance hasn’t improved significantly (though later Switch models get slightly better battery life at 4.5 to 9 hours, depending on the title).
The original Switch uses a 6.2-inch LCD screen that runs at a resolution of 720p. It looks good when played in handheld mode, though the shiny outer plastic can be a bit reflective in especially bright conditions. Detachable Joy-Cons mean that the original Switch is compatible with games like Switch Sports, Ring Fit Adventure and Just Dance out of the box.
