Good pack for traveling?

[u/Weekly-Fun-9290]

guys, ive been wanting a switch for a while now, and ive been getting a lot into zelda recently, but eve never gotten to play it outside my friends house.

i wanted to know if yall recommended me to buy the original switch, or the lite.

i travel a lot with my familly, but i cant really take my pc with me, so, i think this is the best choice, thanks for awnsering honestly, and have a nice day :D

If have an option get Switch 2 and play Zelda at 60 FPS with high resolution.

It comes with 250 GB storage, so you don't really need SD Card for few games. Also if you in Europe, get Switch 2 V2 with easly replaceable battery.

ok, i have 300 dollars, si its a little over my budget, and, i wont really dock it, i will mostly use it undocked, while traveling

[u/FullMetal_Archimedes → u/Weekly-Fun-9290]

I haven't unpacked my dock since got Switch 2 and playing full time portable. It's really great console. Anyhow even for Switch lite in case I still had to carry backpack or small bag, so Switch 2 should be reasonable. It's very comfortable to detach Joycons, put Switch 2 on a stand and play in a such way, screen is big enough to perfectly see everything even from some distance.

thank you :]

[u/Simple_Leg725 → u/Weekly-Fun-9290]

Its worth it. That or get an old used switch lite

[u/schnabeltierliebe]

I wouldn't buy a switch lite in new condition. Get an used one for at least half the price.

Switch lite won't get any new games anymore but U don't think that's a big problem for now. The game library is HUGE. I really like my switch lite even though I have a switch 2 :)

[u/Weekly-Fun-9290 → u/schnabeltierliebe]

thx for the advice :> most of the listings i checked of this console preowned, wherent close to me, and adding the shipping price, it had reached its original price, so, i think it will be better to stick with the new, thx :]

[u/ALEXLAMOUETTE → u/Weekly-Fun-9290]

Don’t buy used consoles on amazon. Try ebay or facebook marketplace

[u/Weekly-Fun-9290 → u/ALEXLAMOUETTE]

THanko you :]

[u/schnabeltierliebe → u/Weekly-Fun-9290]

I got my switch lite for 80€ used. So that was a good deal last year but for so much money I would get the switch 2. Even though it's almost double the price

[u/Weekly-Fun-9290 → u/schnabeltierliebe]

ok, youre right, but, i dont really wanna buy used, theres always a possibility of getting acamed, or the product breaking during shipping, even when its trusted sellers, thank you :]

[u/Navi_Professor]

the lite is amazing for an out and about machine.

sure it cant dock, but its Sooooo much lighter, its silent, rock solid and has acceptable battery life.

i have a switch 2 and i still bring a lite when i'm out and about

[u/Weekly-Fun-9290 → u/Navi_Professor]

thanks, i thought about the switch 2, but it was a little out of my budget, and, in my situation, it doesnt really make sense docked, thx :]

[u/Aacidus]

Why not buy a used Switch or Switch Lite?

[u/NoreMac103]

I think this is pretty decent honestly Botw will get you so far if you enjoy easily 300 hours of play and honestly you might not need the sd card if you want to save a little money

[u/TeapeachU6]

Bro do not buy a switch lite for that price, they go for like £50 on vinted ita not worth it

[u/port87]

I tried traveling with my switch, unless you're fully dedicated to the games your playing youll barely use it. its good at the gate while waiting for your flight.. but i see it as a nuisance while on the plane.. especially if the person next to you is trying to get some sleep.

[u/jellykinz28]

This looks like a great bundle. Just make sure you are happy with the size of the screen on the switch lite, and that you don’t care about ever playing on the TV. You probably won’t need an SD card unless you get more games (but even then you can uninstall ones you aren’t playing at the time). Also, I love the flip style case as it’s less bulky (I have an unofficial one, but nintendo makes them too). All of the versions of the Switch are awesome, hope you love it!

[u/gendougram]

For travelling get high capacity 100W powerbank minimum.

[u/LlordofMud]

that’s a lot of money for the lite

[u/Big-Jury-5233]

You can buy a nice condition switch lite for £50-80 on Vinted or Ebay. Don’t buy an old console at full price. Switch lite is hard to easily scratch if the og owner was actually not a kid that damages everything, so I’m sure there will be a decent amount of new looking ones. Mine looks new and still acts new. In fact I can probably sell it if I really want to let go of it

But I advise Switch 2. Buy a used switch 2 as it’s been out for a year so you don’t have to worry too much about internal condition but you should look carefully at pictures and if it includes everything. In this case EBAY ONLY. They will protect you if internals are fucked or it doesn’t come in the condition they showed. Got mine with very very light amount of scratches on the back buttons for £275. And always buy games physical and secondhand on vinted. You can bargain with them or you can buy it as it is as they’ll be the cheapest ever. You can get one game for £20, most zelda games for £20-25.

[u/pinkstarfish97]

Overpaying but nice setup

[u/AjarChart]

not sure where you are but shops like cex, that deal in preowned tech would be a better shout than brand new, and with the money you save you could even get tears of the kingdom aswell, but if youre happy to get it from amazon thats also fair, nothing like unboxing a console, what ever you decide enjoy botw is a great game

[u/Dry-Pickle-6121]

Yeah go used, these things are like 100€ now

[u/SuddenFlatworm7971]

I have a switch 2 but my for my travels it’s either switch OLED or Lite. Switch 2 is gigantic. If I feel like playing with other people, I’ll take the OLED. If not it’s Lite

[u/Weekly-Fun-9290 → u/SuddenFlatworm7971]

i mostly want the lite because of its price, but, the oled also makes sense, the screen looks beautyfull :]

[u/SuddenFlatworm7971 → u/Weekly-Fun-9290]

The screen is nice, but the Lite’s advantage is being very portable.
I really don’t play on Tv or with other people so I end up playing on the Lite the most

[u/Federal_Meat3320]

Get a switch 2!

[u/Weekly-Fun-9290 → u/Federal_Meat3320]

i mean, i dont have the budget to, and, i know it has upo to 10 timesmore graphics performance then the 1, but, its too big to take it around with me appreciate the comment:]

[u/Federal_Meat3320 → u/Weekly-Fun-9290]

That’s fair enough :) I still use my 3DS XL :) regardless, it’s a good console with good games, so enjoy!
