StormyFire Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 For those of you who have a Switch, do you play it more as a handheld or in a dock with a controller on a display? I like playing it docked more, but being able to use it handheld is nice in some situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I play a Switch Lite, so I don't have the docking ability. But that's not a problem for me, as I never had intention of playing it on a TV anyway. I got it for the portability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharon Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 When given the opportunity I definitely prefer docked due to a bigger screen and better sound. I do find myself using it more often as a handheld device though usually while my toddler sleeps. I love having the option of doing either.

Kane99 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 If I had one, I think I'd play more in handheld mode, because I don't always game on my tv anymore. Plus if I'm working all night, I wouldn't mind a switch next to me to have when I'm relaxing between the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard the steamdeck is actually including an adapter to game on TVs. Or is that old news? I forget. But still, I'd like Microsoft and Sony to do something with handhelds like what Nintendo has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently right now the steam deck doesnt come with a dock but one will be sold separately in the near future, and also I think some people have managed to connect it to their tvs without a dock. And I agree with you I wish more consoles had a similar function, like for example PS4 has remote play and you can use your android phone or ps vita but the quality is just awfull, I mean it works but if your internet connection is not steady you will get disconected every 5 min and the quality and lag is just shit. I wish they updated this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Nintendo has both, but the handheld especially the switch type is more preferred at the current time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing on docked is not how I enjoy playing them since I got the Playstation 4 to handle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
