- In this episode, we help you get your Nintendo Switch fan's wish list taken care of with our Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED Gift and Buyer's Guide for the 2022 Christmas Season.
The Nintendo Switch is one of my favorite video game platforms, from the wonderful hardware to the amazing games, there are lots of reasons to love the Switch. Around the holidays, I always get asked by parents what to get their kids who are interested in the Nintendo Switch. I normally have to ask where they're going to play, how they are going to play (handheld vs docked), the types of games they want to play, and more. This happened again just a few days ago, which reminded me that it was time to get our annual gift buyer's guide for the Switch together. Whether you're looking for systems, accessories, or games, there's something here that should help everyone with their Switch gift list.
Systems:
There are 3 configurations for the Switch. The original can be played on a TV or in handheld mode and features a 6.2-inch display. Next, there's the Switch OLED, which features a larger and brighter 7-inch OLED display, an improved kickstand, a dock with Ethernet for better connectivity, enhanced audio, and a few other improvements. Finally, the Switch Lite is the least expensive of the family, is a handheld--only device. It features a 5.5-inch display, non-detachable Joy-Cons, and a D-Pad for controls vs the up/down/left/right buttons.
Controllers
Out of the box, both the Switch and Switch OLED include a pair of Joy-Con controllers and a Joy-Con grip. While these are functional, they are not really optimized for game playing. I highly recommend upgrading to the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, it provides a much better overall experience in every way. They are rather expensive, however, and over $60, so for a less expensive alternative I highly recommend the KMD Pro Controller. At around $20 right now on Amazon, they operate well, they're comfortable, they have great battery life, and if they get ruined by the kids I'm okay with it.
SD card
All three switch consoles have a ridiculously small amount of onboard storage. One of the good things, however, about all three is that you can add external storage through a microSD card slot. Stick with a reputable name brand, I use SanDisk myself. You don't need a super high-speed card either, and the 400GB card I currently use In my Switch OLED is under 50 bucks!
Spare Docks
The Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED can be played connected to a TV, and they both include one dock in the box with the system. What if you want to take it with you on the go or play in more than one room? You're going to need an additional doc. The OEM Nintendo dock runs about $70 for the Switch OLED, but there are less expensive alternatives out there. The Iesooy doc I recently reviewed is a terrific choice for the money. The one thing I would recommend is to also pick up the Nintendo OEM power supply to avoid any power issues.
Games
What good is the system without games? Three games I can easily recommend that anybody should enjoy would be Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Nintendo Switch Sports. All of these can be played either single or multiplayer, offer super fun gameplay, and they're all family-friendly too.
Switch online and eShop gift cards
The Nintendo Switch is capable of being a fully digital system and has a full online store to support it. Save money by purchasing Nintendo eShop gift cards from Target or Sam's club as they are discounted every day.
The Nintendo Switch Online and Switch Online Expansion pack grants you access to online gameplay, cloud saves, and access to a library of games from the original NES, Super NES, Nintendo 64, and Sega Genesis. Standard memberships are only $20 a year, whereas a family membership with the Expansion Pack is $80 a year.
The Nintendo Switch is still going strong and many people will find it under their Christmas tree this year. Hopefully, this gift guide has helped you find and fill some of the holes on your shopping list.

As someone who’s still rocking their launch day Switch and it’s dying battery, I’m sooooo tempted to pickup an OLED, but I’m CONVINCED Nintendo is gonna do some kind of awesome Special Edition version for Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom next year so I’m holding out for that.
Unless you just really want the new system why not just replace the battery?
Hey I just wanted to say thank you, I really appreciate the video really informative and didn’t try to sell me anything, you actually showed people how to save money.
You are very welcome!
Thank you for the great videos Gary!
Sorry it's not a dx3r Pro shell for you to paint
I enjoyed this video. You seem cool and the information was conveyed in a clear way. Subscribed
Thanks, glad you liked it and welcome!
thanks im planning to get one
Which are you going to go with?
D-pad on the lite was a HUUUUUGE seller for me.
Totally agree, it's one of the things that transforms it in handheld mode
@Roxolid I share with you something for me too super mario odyssey is the best game on the nintendo switch, I love this game and I have finished it 3 times complete with the 999 energy moons.
It is so good and so amazing and something that I highly recommend anyone who is a fan of any Mario game go out and play.
Hey Gary can you pray for me I have me and my family have the flu I've always liked your videos and enjoy the watch
Consider it done, the family will hold you up in our prayers.
Despite the xbox series s has better specs but i never trade in my switch and switch lite. I still love playing on them. Use it a bit more than my xbox too with exception of playing good action games. However i still have more on my switches than xbox, but i just recently bought the xbox but still love my switch a bit more if i want play something in handheld mode.
I get that. I have a video in the works to discuss why and how I finally bought an Xbox Series S,. It's neat, but it's also a reoccuring payment platform for Microsoft.
@@RoXolid I actaully got my xbox series s last weekend as a gift from my boss for me and my brothers hardworkd for him over last 10 years which big surprise. I do admit a lot of good 3d games on the xbox i am enjoying but hate its all digital and the digital games take up a lot of space. The switch on other hand with my micro sd card it doesnt take up as much space. Plus any 2d/pixel games i see on the xbox i find on the switch and if not on switch its going to come out. I love playing 2s/pixel games in handheld mode as at times looks crisper and cleaner on the smaller screen.
@@alluringming That's an amazingly generous gift! You're lucky to be surrounded by such great people!
@@RoXolid I know, it really surprised me and brother but i kind like the simplicity of the switch and i hope nintendo keeps that simplicity. Personally, i wouldn't mind if like past consoles they did a handheld line and a main console like line they did with nintendo and gamboy, wii and & ds, etc. Switch is good but has some limitations compared to modern consoles, but still good device. Now if the next line is handheld and they make it as good as the Ps5, xbox, and steamdeck then i will welcome it. As long as they still make it where you have phsyical copies and not just purely digital.
Hey...
I need an advice , i have 3 kids and i want to buy a switch for them , should i get an ( Oled ) for all or a ( Lite ) for each one , what is the best choice .
Do you want them to be able to play on televisions? If yes then an OLED, if no, the Lite
