I own a Switch myself. I bought it in early 2018. At that time, the interface was not in Chinese, so I finished Zelda Breath of the Wild in English.
Let’s talk about the Switch itself. The Switch is Nintendo’s current generation game console. Its full name is: Nintendo Switch, also called NS. It was released in March 2017. It is a game console that combines a handheld console and a console.
First, let’s talk about the regional version. It is divided into European version, American version, Japanese version, and the Chinese version which was released not long ago. Among them, the least recommended one is It's the National Bank.
Buyers of the National Bank version represented by Tencent are also called warriors, because in addition to an additional warranty, the National Bank also locks the area, locks the area, locks the area, and importantly Say things three times.
This also means that if you buy a National Bank machine, you can’t buy any games in the Nintendo e-store. To play games, you can only insert a card, and there are no follow-up DLC and online services (there are too few National Bank players, There is no match at all).
Second, let’s talk about the machine version
Nintendo Switch is an old version of the machine. This is the one I bought. The price is moderate and the battery life is about 2.5-6.5 hours. There is a pair that comes with it. Joy-Con controller, you can also buy the pro controller separately, there is nothing else to say, except for the joystick drift problem, there is no big problem.
Switch Pro controller needs to be purchased separately, but this thing can not only be used on NS, but also supports PC and steam platforms, which is very convenient.
Switch Lite, simply put, is the simple version.
The battery life is about 3-7 hours, which castrates the host function and can only be used as a handheld console. It is suitable for one person to play, not suitable for party games, and not suitable for two-player games. Games such as Overcooked, Super Mario Party, Luigi's Mansion 3, Super Smash Bros., 1-2 Switch and more.
Of course, there are also advantages, that is, the price is cheaper than the original version, and it is smaller and more portable. If you play alone and don’t want to spend more money, you can consider buying it.
The Nintendo Switch Battery Life Enhanced Edition is exactly the same as the regular version in terms of configuration, with enhanced battery life. In other words, you can play longer when you take it out, about 4.5-9.0 Hour.
There are also pirated machines on a certain website. It is recommended not to buy them. Firstly, they are unreliable. They may be refurbished machines and the quality is not guaranteed. Secondly, they cannot connect to the Internet. There is a risk of being banned, and the Switch is essentially focused on multiplayer entertainment, so a lot of fun is lost without being able to play online.
Finally, Switch also has some peripherals including Nintendo Labo, Nintendo Labo Toy-Con 04: VR set, which has many rich ways to play, such as piano, telescope, etc. Very interesting, you can buy it if you are interested.
Which one to buy mainly depends on your personal needs. If you just want to play as a handheld console, then buy Switch Lite. If you want to play both console and handheld games, I hope it can If you are playing with your family, then buy the enhanced version. After all, it is new and definitely better than the old version. You should buy new electronic products rather than old ones.
This is an era of reputation, but Nintendo is still like the stone in the latrine of the last century - smelly and hard!
Of course, this also reflects another thing from the side. Nintendo is a very typical Japanese company, and conservative ideas surround them all the time. But what is strange is that Nintendo has both a very conservative side and an extremely innovative side. The advent of Nintendo Switch is a typical example. The two sides of a console
Look at this 6.2-inch capacitive screen with big black edges! Look at the volume " ", "-" keys and the lock screen (press and hold the adjustable menu to shut down) key! This design style is a product of how many years ago? If I just take out the NS itself and look at it, I guess it was produced around 2010, but no one would shake their heads and say no!
Nintendo is so old-fashioned!
But with the Joy-Con handles on the left and right sides, and the base to transform into TV mode, you will find that this shabby game console has novel ways to play.
Therefore, at this time, the author is very conflicted in his heart. Do you think I should praise or complain? Really, in line with the meme circulating on the Internet-Nintendo is the master of the world!
I am afraid that only Nintendo can come up with such a unique game console. Hey...it smells so good! Differences between versions
Speaking of NS versions, there are so many. Bank of China has also released this year. In addition to Bank of China NS, there are also Hong Kong, American, Japanese, European, Taiwanese, etc. versions available. In fact, in essence, the various versions are roughly the same. The same accessories, the same host, except for one thing - the charger plug.
For example, have you seen the Apple mobile phone charger from a Hong Kong store? The Hong Kong version of the NS power supply looks the same as that thing, so you need to purchase an additional converter, but most merchants on Taobao have it. Send it, you don’t need to worry about this. The most worry-free thing is probably the Japanese version. The plug is directly applicable in China without any problems. The author’s NS is the Japanese version.
Apart from this, there is no difference between the versions. Regular version, extended version and Lite version
So far, Nintendo NS has designed three different versions. The regular version is the earliest one, which was launched in 2017.
It is said to be the ordinary version, because this version of the machine has neither been castrated nor strengthened, so it is... very ordinary.
As for the battery life version, compared with the regular version of the NS machine, the battery life is longer. According to official data at the time, the battery life of "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" , increased from 3 hours for the regular version to
In addition, there is no difference between the battery life version and the earlier regular version. However, the changes in the Lite version, no! It should be said that it is a castrated version, and the changes are not small.
The following is the author’s answer when Switch Lite was just released. Let’s move it directly
First, let’s take a look at the main specifications and parameters of this game console:
p>
Judging from the above basic specifications and parameters, there are almost no major changes between this new machine and the Nintendo Switch released in 2017.
If I want to talk about the characteristics, it is that it is lighter in weight, smaller in size, and easier to carry. But that's all.
Speaking of differences, there are really many differences from Nintendo Switch. Below, we will list them one by one:
The machine adopts an integrated design, that is to say. In order to reduce the size and weight and make it easier for players to carry, Lao Ren directly made the machine one-piece.
But two problems arise.
First, this new machine cannot use TV mode to play games after being inserted into the base.
Yes, you read that right, this Switch Lite does not support TV mode, only handheld mode!
Secondly, the one-piece design is more convenient and lightweight. However, the machine itself does not have all the functions of the joy-con controller.
The Switch Lite controller has no HD vibration and does not support Labo. It is completely a "castrated" simplified version. Precautions for purchase - three codes in one
When buying a new one, be sure to pay attention to the three codes in one game console and the "Auntie Red" problem when starting up!
The "Auntie Red" on startup is the only startup animation that appears when a new machine is turned on for the first time. It is a very advantageous criterion and method for judging whether the machine is brand new.
Although "Auntie Red" will appear after the host settings are initialized, if the new machine does not have "Auntie Red" after you get it, then there must be something wrong with the machine!
The three codes are in one, that is, the body code, the host box code and the host code set by the Switch. These three barcode numbers must be consistent. If they are inconsistent, then there may be a problem with the machine.
The above is the author's answer, I hope it will be helpful to the questioner
Text/Xiao Yi Ping Technology
As someone who wanted to buy a Switch back then, I ended up being too old-sighted to get it. As someone who regrets buying PS4 Pro now, let me give you some popular science on what the advantages of SWITCH are and what kind of people it is suitable for. Analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of SWITCH compared to traditional consoles
Advantages
The biggest advantage of SWITCH is that it can be switched between handheld consoles and consoles at will. This is very useful for young and middle-aged players in the new era who have grown up and work without much free time.
Take the author as an example. Although I currently have a PS4Pro at home, to be honest, I really don’t have time to play it or even bother to drive it. Because after working, especially after starting a family, there is only a handful of real leisure time, and most of it is time squeezed out between work and trivial matters in life. Sometimes after a busy day, I am really too lazy to turn on the PS4 to play games (turn on the TV, turn on the console, pick up the controller, and put in the disc). Moreover, the TV is also used by family members to play TV series and cartoons, which leads to many game plots. Since I haven't played for a long time, I gradually couldn't keep up, and as time went by, I became even more lazy to play.
The Switch solves this problem very well. You can play it directly as a handheld console. You can play a game anytime and anywhere, making full use of fragmented time for gaming experience.
Moreover, although many games are small games, they are very interesting. Playing games is just for fun. And even if you want to play AAA-level masterpieces, there are series like "Zelda", "FIFA", and "The Elder Scrolls". Moreover, there are many more somatosensory games on SWITCH compared to PS and XBOX platforms, and the original controller that comes with it can be used as a remote sensor, which is very convenient.
Disadvantages
Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. The biggest disadvantage of SWITCH is its poor performance. It only uses about half of the functions of the regular PS4 version of the same era, which directly leads to many problems. Large AAA-level games cannot log in or log into the SWITCH platform on time. Even when logging in, the image quality is average, and apart from game functions, there are no functions similar to PS4 home audio and video equipment.
How to choose between SWITCH versions?
Regarding the version issue, let’s talk about handheld models first. They can currently be divided into three categories: SWITCH battery life enhanced version, old version of SWITCH, and SWITCH Lite (pure handheld model).
Personally recommend buying the SWITCH battery life enhanced version. Although it is a bit more expensive, the battery life in handheld mode is increased by more than three hours while maintaining the same performance, and the workmanship is also improved. A slight improvement, but the battery life of the old version of SWITCH is a major flaw. As for SWITCH Lite, I personally don’t recommend it. It’s just a handheld console. Without the soul of SWITCH, it’s better to buy a second-hand PSP.
As for the differences between the National Bank version, the European version (Hong Kong version) and the Japanese version, the National Bank version is currently recommended. Just reprint a picture. The biggest advantage of the National Bank is the warranty (the handle is easy to break) and the stable server network. However, the disadvantage is that there are few game resources. Some foreign online games such as Fortnite cannot be played, but if you mainly play If it's a stand-alone game, it doesn't matter. Personally, I recommend the Chinese version. Moreover, TX has already cooperated with Nintendo, and there will be no shortage of games in the future.
The advantage of the Japanese version is that it is cheap, but there is no warranty. If it breaks, you have to pay for repairs out of your own pocket, but it is also convenient. There is no warranty anyway, so you can use any learning version or whatever.
As for the European version and the Hong Kong version, I personally don’t recommend it. There are no special advantages and the adapter is very troublesome.
ns is switch. Because switch is a product of Nintendo, it is called Nintendo Switch throughout. In ordinary language, it is referred to as ns for convenience. Switch is Nintendo’s latest console of this generation, using a unique console controller. The machine can switch modes, allowing players to enjoy the game anytime and anywhere.
Switch host introduction
NS, full name NINTENDO SWITCH, is the flagship product of Nintendo Game Company launched in March 2017. The host adopts a home console Machine integrated design. The new phone is not region locked and supports 1920*1080 TV output and 1280*720 handheld output. The Hong Kong version of NS will be released on March 3, 2017, and the Taiwan version will be released on December 1. This is the last hardware product that former president Satoru Iwata participated in the development of, and this product will become the center of Nintendo's future entertainment business blueprint.
Hardware performance:
Nintendo Switch uses a customized Tegra chipset, and its performance architecture is based on the world's top GeForce chip technology.
NVIDIA and Nintendo jointly developed a new game API for Nintendo Switch, the API name is NVN, which aims to bring an efficient game experience with lower load.
NVIDIA provides it with advanced core development technology, from new physics engines, new libraries, to advanced game tools and libraries. The NS host will support Unreal 4 and Unity engines.
You can use three efficient APIs: Vulkan, OpenGL 4.5 and OpenGL ES to develop games. Vulkan, the follow-up product of OpenGL, can provide high performance and low CPU burden, and can also use GPU hardware functions that were previously inaccessible to OpenGL.
1. Select the host and version
So far, Laoren has launched 5 switch products, namely the old version of switch, the improved battery life version of switch, switch lite, Tencent agent switch, and switch oled.
Battery life improved version of switch: At present, most of them, whether online or offline, are battery life improved version of switch; not surprisingly, they will soon be replaced by switch oled
Switch lite is similar to It is a true handheld console. It cannot be connected to a TV to play. It does not support Nintendo LABO. The controller is not detachable, but it can be connected to a joy-con (additional purchase required). The advantage is that the body is lighter and the price is cheaper, making it suitable for people who often go out to play.
Switch OLED: The screen has been expanded from a 6.2-inch ordinary LCD screen to a 7-inch OLED screen. The visualization angle has been greatly improved, the colors are more vivid (can be adjusted to standard), and the maximum brightness is higher; base The convenience of the stand and stand has also been significantly improved; the memory of the fuselage has been increased from 32G to 64G, making it the most worth buying version currently. Considering that scalpers are maliciously raising prices, you can wait until the price stabilizes before buying.
In addition to the differences in the host, the versions released in different countries and regions are also different:
In addition to the Chinese version, according to different countries and regions, the Japanese version, Hong Kong version Except for the charging plug, there are almost no differences between the American version, the European version and the Australian version.
Official price of the Japanese version of the console:
Switch OLED 37,980 yen (2088 RMB), Switch with improved battery life 32,978 yen (1,814 RMB), Switch Lite 21,978 yen (1,200 RMB) )
The official Japanese price is for reference only. Students who have channels can directly buy the Japanese version from the official website, which can save a lot of money; students who buy from domestic mainstream e-commerce platforms (JD.com, Tmall, etc.) , you can refer to the prices above and start with the price you can accept.
2. Buying Chinese games
When buying a switch, you must know 6 points: switch oled, choose to buy a membership, register an account, and cross servers
Let’s explain the following Switch to Xiaobai Bar
Regional versions
Switch has regional versions such as Chinese version, Hong Kong version, Japanese version, American version, Korean version, etc. Except for Chinese version, other versions are not locked. , that is, you can log in to any server except the Chinese server. The Bank of China can only log in to the Bank of China server.
The National Bank warranty is a major advantage, but the current small number of National Bank games is a disadvantage. In the future, the online effect of the national server will definitely be better than that of other servers, but currently there are fewer games in the national server, so the advantage has not been reflected.
Model version
Switch is divided into three versions: the old version, the extended version, and the streamlined version lite
The old version and the extended version are basically the same. The difference is that the latter has been optimized in terms of hardware and extends the use time.
The streamlined version lite cancels the original TV mode, the Joy-con is not removable, and the infrared and HD vibration functions are removed. Some games that require special functions cannot be played. .
The advantage of lite is that it is smaller, lighter and cheaper. The advantage of the battery life version is that it has rich functions.
I personally recommend buying the Japanese or Hong Kong version of Switch
The switches currently available on the market can be It is divided into National Bank, Japanese version and Hong Kong version:
National Bank
The price is generally the lowest, around 1800 when there are e-commerce activities, and it is region locked (you cannot play non-National Bank games) Online, DLC - additional purchased content for the game) cannot be used. Advantages: There are clear official purchase channels including games, warranty and other after-sales services. Disadvantage: region locked.
The Japanese version and the Hong Kong version
The two differences are the price difference and the power supply difference. The Japanese version is slightly more expensive than the Hong Kong version, and the general price is around 2,000. The Japanese version uses a 220v power supply, while the Hong Kong version uses a 110v power supply, so you need to prepare your own adapter. The advantage is that there are a wealth of games, as well as Nintendo membership (any loss coupons, free games for members and other benefits). Disadvantages: Usually purchased through a third party, the game console needs to be repaired through a third party, which is a huge hassle.
According to the model, there are lite and battery-lasting versions (the old version without battery life is basically unavailable)
lite
It is only suitable for take-out and is not Supports some games (Fitness Ring Adventure), the handle cannot be removed. The advantage is that it is cheap and can usually be purchased for 1,500.
Battery life version
Can play any game, can also be taken out, supports all accessories, can detach the handle, supports host mode (resolution 1080P), can connect to TV and monitor, port html .
Seeing this, some newcomers have questions about which one I should buy.
Personally recommend it if you are planning to give it away to someone else. For personal use, you can choose the Japanese version or the Hong Kong version according to your economic situation. If you only go out to play, buying the lite is enough. If you want to experience somatosensory games or connect to a TV, if you want to use the computer (Fitness Ring Adventure), you must buy the battery life version.
In terms of games, if you don’t know what you want to play, you can first go to major websites to check the game ratings. Then buy game cassettes. It is not recommended to buy digital versions, because at least if you buy a game that you don’t think is fun, you can at least choose to sell it second-hand.
There is an article on my personal homepage, you can read it.
Then let me talk about the differences between Nintendo switch in detail here.
The first difference is the style. Nintendo currently sells only three game consoles, one is switch lite, one is the old switch, and one is the battery-enhanced version of switch.
Switch lite is a castrated version. It does not have a host mode. You need to purchase the joy-con (handle) separately. The battery life is increased by half an hour, but the games you play with switch lite are basically castrated versions. See Less than the entire screen.
There is basically no difference between the old switch and the battery life version of switch, except that the battery life enhanced version has two and a half hours more battery life than the old switch.
Then after talking about styles, let’s talk about the versions of switch in various regions. There are big differences here, so be sure to see them clearly.
There are Chinese version, Hong Kong version, Japanese version, American version and European version of switch. These versions are very different, especially the Chinese version.
The server of the National Bank version is separate from other versions. Friends of the National Bank can only play with friends of the National Bank, but friends of other versions are all on the same server, referred to as the National Server. orphan. (But if your friends are all playing the National Bank version, then there is no problem. You can play together online.
)
The other versions basically have different charging heads, and there is not much difference. Except for the Hong Kong version, other networks are not very good. I have written about the difference between the China version and other versions. Put it here.
As for the number of games, there are not many games from the National Bank, and they are still being introduced, but they can be played with cards. There are many other versions of games, and all games on the NS are available. If you pay more attention to the number of games, buy other versions. If you care more about the game experience, buy the National Bank.
Network, this is really important. Bank of China’s network is very smooth and stable. Basically, there will be no disconnection problems unless you have your own network card. I really don’t like other versions of the network. I have to buy an accelerator and debug the network. It’s very troublesome, and the stability is not particularly good. It will crash from time to time after using the accelerator. There are many accelerators on the market. I personally recommend the Dolphin accelerator. , this is what I use myself, and the stability is okay.
Warranty, Bank of China officially provides a one-year warranty, which is great. The warranty for other versions basically depends on the conscience of the merchant. If he is willing, he will help you repair it. If he is not willing, there is nothing you can do. Regarding payment issues, in Bank of China you can directly log in to WeChat Pay with WeChat, while in other versions you can buy some cards to recharge, or register with a credit card or other purchase methods, which are many and very troublesome.
Potential, I personally feel that the potential of Bank of China is relatively high. Tencent is the agency operator. I personally feel that Tencent will open the door in the future. This money is so profitable that Tencent will not let it go. , I’m just waiting for the National Bank to switch to the National Bank version when the game is released. After all, the game experience of other versions is really not as good as the National Bank version. I have played both for a long time (about a year). Apart from having fewer games, everything else about Bank of China is really much better.
Internet, this is a point that many players are very concerned about, but I feel that as long as there are more games in the National Bank, then the National Bank can also conduct the National Bank's Internet connection, and the National Bank and the National Bank can With the Internet, as long as your friends all have game consoles from the National Bank, you can play together, but you still have to wait for Tencent to have more games. The Japanese version can connect games to the Internet, which is very cool. You can play games with your friends, which is really comfortable.
Price, the National Bank price is only 1999, and some accessories are also included. Other versions cost 3299, and you will not only need to buy accessories later, but also an accelerator. You can buy it according to your own budget. (The local tycoon is free to do so)
Hello, I am Natsume Seductive.
Let me show you my machine and handle first.
OK! Let’s start introducing each version! Let me first explain that the following introductions take foreign versions as examples, and the versions released in different regions are basically the same except for packaging. Due to zone lock-in, Bank of China currently does not recommend purchasing. In addition, please support the genuine version and do not introduce cracked machines.
1. Lite version. The lite can only be used in handheld mode, so it is not suitable for playing party games, such as Mario Party. Unless the person in question only plays alone and would never consider playing party games with others, it is not recommended to buy the lite version for your first NS. However, as the second ns, or the usage scenario is just commuting, the lite is portable, and even the display effect in handheld mode is better than other versions.
2. Ordinary version of switch. This is my machine, the original version. The console itself isn't much to introduce. I can recommend some games, stand-alone masterpieces: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey; party categories: Mario Party, Mario Kart, Just Dance; sports categories: Mario Tennis, NBA 2k; jrpg: Flame Pattern Zhang Fenghua Xueyue, p5s; arpg: The Witcher 3, Dark Souls 1, etc. If one day the subject purchases NS, these games are all worth playing, and of course there is also the popular Animal Crossing!
3. Enhanced version of switch.
The battery life is enhanced on the basis of the regular version. In essence, it is basically the same as the regular version except that it has more power when taking it out to play. But buy new rather than old. If you buy it in the future, I recommend buying the latest version.
For a player who has been using it for almost two years, first of all, the screen is definitely not as good as that of a mobile phone, and it looks like a cheap screen. But it doesn’t prevent the game from being fun. It is recommended to buy the Hong Kong version. After all, the National Bank network is different from others. It is recommended to buy a Zelda or Odyssey first when starting. After finishing these two games, I feel that the money spent on buying the game console is worth it, and then I can play other games. However, there are actually a lot of fun games on Ns. The other games are not very fun. I hope to update them in the future. . If you have time to play on the TV, it is recommended to play on the TV. The picture output by the host mode is better than that of the handheld mode. In the end, I think NS is still worth buying.
