When it comes to battery life, the Switch V2, the newest model, offers the most overall longevity. Updated October 2019: We updated this piece and added some new info after reviewing the Switch Lite. The only question is: How do you want to play? With two Switch systems on the market now, there's a Switch out there for everyone. It's smaller, cheaper, cuter, and it can only play games in handheld mode. Rather than go the add-more-stuff-and-charge-more-money route, Nintendo is taking its system to meet users where they are. That's why Nintendo's latest, the cheaper, smaller Switch Lite, feels custom-made for users like me. I curl up on the couch with it, lay in bed with it, carry with me everywhere, but I almost never use it in docked mode. Sometimes it's all of the above-a home console, a personal gaming device, and a party system. Sometimes it's a board game and it never travels without an extra set of Joy-Cons for co-op action. Just about everyone I know has one, and everyone I know uses it a little differently. In the time since the Switch hit store shelves, it's continued to grow in popularity.
