In this buying guide for the Nintendo Switch, we will cover everything you could possibly want to know about the gaming device.
What Should I Know Before Buying a Nintendo Switch
1. Buy the Japanese version
If you are not a friend who only plays several games such as Ring Fit Adventure, please consider the Japanese version. If you don't understand, below are the advantages of the Japanese version:
Downloadable DLC
Online with players from all over the world
Have own Eshop store and can play many boutique independent games
Of course, the positioning of the switch you buy is family entertainment. You don't want to mess with your account. You need warranty service. If you only play one or two games, it's not impossible to consider Guoxing.
2. Switch pro required for sled mode
If you often use the base mode, start Switch pro the first time. It's not the problem of hand feel, but frequent plugging of joy-con will lead to poor connection between it and the main body. In less than a year, you will find that joy con often disconnects in handheld mode, which greatly affects the game experience. If you happen to be playing online games, you want to curse people. If the rocker is broken, it's easy to replace one. If the joy-con is loose and disconnected, you can only replace one pair.
3. There are many excellent independent games
Playing 3A games is like going to a Michelin restaurant to have a big meal, while independent games are like snack stalls on the street. Eating a big meal is really a pleasure, but we are too busy with work and life, and time is often not allowed. While the snack stand is in the space of shopping, when you see something you like, you can stop to buy it. The portable nature of Switch makes it very suitable for playing independent games, and many independent games have been recognized by everyone, and the fun is no less than 3a.
4. The memory card needs at least 64G
Although the fuselage comes with 32g of storage space, the system will occupy a part of it, and the actual amount given to players is only about 23g. Now the DLC of the game will be on 1G at any time, and you just want to buy the digital version from several regular players. The 23g of the main body is not enough. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase another TF card. Considering that the storage and reading speed of the switch is not very good, you can buy a normal U1 speed, which is a waste of speed (you can't buy a low-speed one because it saves money, otherwise the game will be half a beat slow). Of course, if you have more feelings, you can also consider various restrictions.
5. Importance of membrane
In terms of necessary accessories, screen protective film should rank first. Switch pro is not at least able to play, which is just a little bit of a handicap. But if you often use the handheld machine, if you take it out, the screen without the protective film will be spent every minute. I don't think anyone wants to scratch the screen when playing games.
6. Importance of Modifying DNS
Many times, if you use the default DNS, you will find that the connection is not smooth enough. At this time, we can consider changing the DNS of the machine. It depends on your lines and service providers. Therefore, try more until it is faster than the default.
7. Online Accelerator
Modifying DNS can only alleviate network problems, such as downloading a game from 5 hours to 3 hours. In fact, because the server is in Japan, if the switch does not use hardware, it will not be able to achieve the same network speed as the Chinese version, so there will be an accelerator.
