Since its launch, the device has garnered particular praise for its versatility. Moreover, you can connect the device to the internet to download games and access other features. I used the device in conjunction with my Spectrum mobile plans and it was an amazing experience. This blog is the ultimate guide for new users regarding the Nintendo Switch, hence keep reading it on.

Accessories:

The Nintendo Switch comes with a price tag of $299.99. With that said, you will need to buy some accessories as well to enhance your overall gaming experience. Note that a microSD will be quite useful. Unfortunately, the device only comes with an internal storage of 30 GB which is too little. Make sure to get a card that supports at least 128 GB of memory. As a result, you will be able to download plenty of games.

Another accessory that may come in handy afterward is an extra controller. A good controller will not cost you more than $80 so make sure to buy one. An extra one of these will allow you to play with your friends and have a fun gaming experience.

Also, make sure to buy a carrying case since the Nintendo Switch is a portable gaming device. It will keep your device protected and allow you to carry it conveniently while traveling.

Online Service:

If you want to play games offline only then it’s better to avoid a subscription to the company’s online service. Nevertheless, if you invest in the service you can gain access to plenty of additional offers. You can also get special discounts on new game releases. You also get NES.
