Play on TV or anywhere with Nintendo Switch, alone or with your family
The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid console. It can be taken with you or be plugged into the TV via a dock.
It exists in 3 models:
Nintendo Switch: the normal, ordinary model that can be played in handheld mode or on TV
Nintendo Switch OLED: the normal model but improved, with especially a better screen (OLED so), which can be played in portable mode or on the TV like the ordinary model. More details about this model here.
The Nintendo Switch Lite: the exclusively portable model of the Nintendo Switch. It is lighter, cheaper, and smaller so more easily portable. The controls are attached to the console. So you can’t detach controllers (joy-con).

Play on computer
Consoles are as popular as ever, but the past few years have seen personal computers rise in popularity. Using a computer, after all, brings its share of advantages: access to virtual reality systems (like the Oculus Rift, valve Index and so on), more power, more customization… For gamers on a budget, powerful computers can even play their favorite games with more detailed graphics (better graphics, textures, shadows, and resolution) than on console!
Playing on a PC or Mac is an interesting option for both novice and passionate gamers, but the platform that offers this freedom of choice is also… a little difficult to understand. There are so many ways to start playing, it’s to get lost.
