I bought myself a Switch right before the COVID lockdown and it's been one of the best purchases I've made 🎉 Barely touched any PC games since i got it.

My favorite part of it is how many different ways of playing it has. I can connect it to the TV and either use both controllers for multiplayer, or hook them together for single player games. Or I can use it in hand-held mode when a TV isn't available.

I'm constantly switching (😎) between the different modes: hand-held or connected to TV with one large controller for single-player and connected to the TV with both small controllers for multiplayer. It's also possible to play with the remote controllers without hooking the console up to a screen, but I haven't tried that yet.

Also possibly worth checking some second-hand options if you're concerned about price. I bought mine second-hand and there were so many new consoles for reasonable prices listed, mainly from parents whose kids weren't satisfied with their Christmas gifts 😅
