Hey all - sorry if these questions are very basic. I have absolutely zero console experience. I want to buy one Switch OLED for my 2 boys, for a roadtrip. The idea would be to use the desktop mode so they can play together, and also gets them the option to play single-player games one at a time.
Questions:
- Do I need to buy more controllers? Are the 2 included enough for most 2-player games?
- Can the OLED be charged in desktop mode? I read that the V1 cannot because the USB port is on the bottom edge.
- What games are fun for 10-14 year olds that don’t play Call of Duty and that sort? Is the included Mario Kart okay, or should I get some particular game bundle?
Some games require more buttons than one of the included controllers (joycon) provide. So with the included ones that would make the game single player only. As a rule of thumb, any game where you can move in 3D requires both joycons.
Mario Kart is great. It can entertain for a long time if they like racing. The two joycons are sufficient for two players.
Here is the list of the best Switch games in general. Maybe something catches your fancy?
