Now I know that the Nintendo Switch isn't considered by some as an actual "console", but it is so much more than that. I would call it more of a hybrid console that gives you the best of both worlds. The fact that it can be a handheld or a system you connect to your tv gives it much more versatility than the normal console. 

So why do I love the Switch so much? Well, I spend a lot of time going from place to place and don't have a lot of time to sit down at the tv or the computer to play games. I have two gaming PCs, just about every console, but I find myself using my Switch more than all of them.

## <center>So what am I playing?</center><br>

I have been playing a lot of Diablo 3 lately. I played this game a lot when it first came out a few years ago, but with Diablo 4 coming out soon, I wanted to give the game some more play time. Plus there has been a ton of improvements to the game over the years. 

When the game first came out, the loot system was so messed up. The majority of the armor or weapon drops were shit and didn't help your characters at all. Now you can actually craft and loot items that make your character a real badass.

I have two characters that I am playing now. I've got a Barbarian and a Witch Doctor. I just started playing on the Witch Doctor last night because I wanted to play through the campaign again. The Barbarian is just for challenges, rifts and quests.

So far I am just a few hours into the campaign with the Witch Doctor, but being able to play wherever I want makes it easier to get some game time in. The Switch gives you the freedom to play on the toilet, the subway, at school, and when you get home, you can just plop it on the stand and connect to your tv and continue where you left off.

The graphics for the Switch are not the greatest, but one thing I have learned over the years of gaming is that graphics aren't the most important thing, but having a fun gaming experience is and Nintendo has always delivered on the fun gaming experience.

## <center>So what type of Switch is right for you?</center><br>

There are two different types of Nintendo Switch. The normal Switch that comes with the detachable controllers and hooks up to your tv. This one sells for $299.

For $199 there is the Switch Lite. This one does not hook up to the tv and is strictly a handheld version of the Switch. The controllers do not detach so it does not have a lot of the motion capabilities that the more expensive version has. The screen is also considerably smaller.

I already had a Switch Lite, but the smaller screen size was the main reason that I purchased the full sized Switch. Games like Diablo were a bit hard to play on the smaller screen and reading was near impossible, but that could be because I am a boomer like @perceval says, and my eyes are going bad.

Both versions of the Switch are a ton of fun, but if you have the extra money to spend, go with the $299 version for the bigger screen, detachable controllers and tv hook up ability.

So what do you think is the best console out right now? With the PS5 and the Xbox Series X coming out this Christmas, are you excited about them or are you content with what we already have for the moment. I may end up getting the Series X, but I will probably be playing my Switch more still.

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my post, you are awesome!
