It depends on your budget OP but a used Switch lite might be in your price range if you don’t mind it being portable-only. I couldn’t afford the original Switch at first either and got a lite with the idea to upgrade later if I vibed with it once I had more cash. I ended up doing that as soon as I could!

That said, Nintendo e-shop sales are decent enough, but first party games rarely go on deep discount, so game price might also be something else to factor in. I’d plug a 3DS/New 3DS XL as a super viable alternative, since you can easily jailbreak it and download ROMs for the whole game library as well as a ton of Nintendo emulation (GB, GBC, GBA, original DS, etc.). I have a Switch and a Steam Deck but my trusty 3DSXL is still what I bring for my long commutes – it’s in my bag right now! It has so much to offer and is highly underrated these days IMO.

the Mad Max game from a few years ago. Too much repetition.

GTAV as it is just too filled with BS and as many ways as possible to get money out of you.

COD & Battlefield games. I loved campaigns and both have lost their way on those and prioritize getting more money from you as opposed to providing a solid single player game.

Destiny 2. Destiny 1 was fantastic and while it was a bit grindy at least it was rewarding and fun. Destiny 2 went too far the other way and pushed too hard on micro transactions. Now I see all the other crap they are pulling and I am glad I left.

You should consider buying this. Opposite to others opinions it's great Unfortunately battery life will decline after awhile;

Granted,it is a small console so this is expected Also I would totally recommend zelda botw Yours truly, Conor and James.

Yeah, if exclusives or portability(or both) are important to you then the Switch is one of the best party game consoles out there, the only other consoles i could recomend is WiiU and Xbox 360/One w/ Kinnect
