If you like to game on the go, the basic Switch is still an excellent portable console, which can last up to six hours on a single charge. It’s still limited to 32GB of onboard storage (unlike the larger seven-inch Switch OLED), but its built-in microSD card slot means you can always invest in more external storage. That’ll come in handy because the Nintendo eShop is home to a vast library of first-party and third-party titles, especially in its swansong years, with plenty of exciting games in the works. The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and Mario and Luigi: Sisterhood Both will be launched in the fall, for example, along with Super Mario Partya remastered version My Simsand much more.
It's true that the Switch 2 is rumored to have an eight-inch display, but the standard model's 6.2-inch screen is still spacious enough in most cases. Plus, if you want more screen real estate, you can always play on your TV while it's docked, unlike the Switch Lite.
