ok, ok. I'm catching on.
DS wants the handheld thing, not knowing there are home-based console options.
How does the home-based console one work on to go?

We have all done the exact opposite from what you asked of us.
Sorry. Enjoy your new console!

How does the home-based console one work on to go? for the regular one, the controllers on each side are detachable. you can use them alone individually, or plug them into another thing to make one big controller.

brux, I've resigned myself to a switch for DS as well. I found this helpful, because I didn't know the difference b/w the regular switch and the lite. www.nintendo.com/switch/compare/

Lol, I am not help since I just purchased one for my kids today. If you change your mind, there are a few cyber monday sales for switches today. lmk the deals. I might buy while I consider. Target has a regular one for 299. I know nothing about the lite.

Based on your picture the lite is just the regular one's tablet without the base it locks into. The regular has the same tablet for on the go. I would totally buy the regular if you're looking at family games.

You play it as is on the screen like a Gameboy, but it has a docking station so you can play it like a console. You remove the side controllers and viola. Best of both worlds brux.

Well I guess you could play 1 person mario party. i endeavor to force DS into a lonely only child existence. So a solo party is how he’ll have to manage 😂

I’d buy the Switch. I actually like it more than my kid’s tablet because I know exactly what he is playing on it. Plus, it’s fun for all of us to hook it up to the TV to play MarioKart and throwback Nintendo games together.

you guys are the worst. The picture DS saw was the Switch Lite, like a gameboy kind of thing. Is that what I should buy, or should I buy the regular console one? Hypothetically, of course. Get the real one. Playing it together on the TV really is fun for everyone and is interactive enough for winter play dates imo.

Although I will check what my kid has on his ipad becasue he's been playing Pokemon all week. It's some electronic version of the actual card game you can play, which praise the lord because now I don't have to continue to avoid him asking me to play Pokemon with him. Please report back with this app because HELP ME.

Why pay for the lite and get half the game. Nah. Full console or nothing.

I feel like we have three tablets and now I don't want those to be dropped to the side for a system that I have to spend $50 a pop for games. Am I the crazy one? Hm, I feel like tablets are a different thing than consoles.
Tablets are what they look forward to on long car rides. Consoles are just plan fun for everyone.
The Switch can be used on long car ride, too! And with the attached controllers, it can have one or two players, avoiding most fights over who gets to play it. You can also download games to the device, so you don't need to worry about keeping track of the SD card sized physical games. I ♥️ OUR SWITCH.

Ds (5) loves Super Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and Mario Party. We're getting him Mario Maker for Christmas. Dd1 (10) is getting Pokemon Shield and we're getting the Ring Fit as a joint gift.

We use the switch all the time! DS (11) and SS (8) love it. We play a lot as a family too. We love Mario party, Mario kart and the boys want the Pokémon games for Christmas. They play Minecraft and enjoyed the Mario odyssey game.
We don’t use tablets here, but this switch has been awesome!

I'm patiently waiting for you to share.... DS1 had ALSO asked for a Switch. It's a no here though. 1. We dont have the money for such a big gift this year and 2. His behavior does not warrant such a big gift this year. But, he has my old phone for games and whatnot and could use a good pokemon one on there.

Damn it, now I really want one. Dd asked for one but is getting a tablet, probably for her birthday next week. So I didn’t want to spend the money on the switch as well but I might cave and just have a super expensive December.
