A:AnswerIt does not have to be connected to wifi to use it and it works just fine without it. The only thing you would need to have it connected to wifi for would be to download games from the Nintendo e-shop if you wanted to, or to play online with someone else around the world or down the street. One of the best features is the Nintendo Switch Online membership which costs $20 a year for a single user and slightly more for a family account. With a Nintendo Switch Online account, you can play games from the NES and SNES libraries on your Nintendo Switch. Older players who grew up playing on these older systems will definitely like this feature.
You can also save your game progress to the cloud and download it if someone deletes your save data from the console. This is a very good feature for those games that take a long time to play such as "The Legend of Zelda:Breath of the Wild" or "Super Mario Odyssey."
A:AnswerYes, but you will have to pay for a yearly membership for Nintendo Switch Online. Not only can you play with other players from around the world or just simply down the street, you can also play and download games from the NES and SNES libraries as well. Older players who grew up with a NES or SNES in their house will like this for sure.
Prices vary at $20 for a single user and slightly more for a family account. But it will be good for a year and have those games available as well as being able to have backups of your game save data on the cloud in case something happens to your save data on your system.
A:AnswerThe Nintendo Switch Lite did not arrive with any pre-loaded games. Although, I noticed Best Buy does have Nintendo Switch Lite package deals that include a game, a case, etc...
A:AnswerNo you don’t have to buy 2 copies of the same game. If you get a Nintendo family account (it’s about $40 for a year subscription) you can add your son and twins and you can transfer data between consoles.
A:AnswerHey! Because of the popularity of this device, it's been really hard to get. However, Best Buy does restock it often. You will just have to keep checking the website or even your local store to catch it when it comes in. I hope this helps!
A:AnswerNo, the switch and switch lite do not have inherent messaging features. However some games allow for text and voice chat with the use of a headset.
