The Nintendo Switch is one of the most versatile consoles on the market. Not only is it super powerful and great to use at home but it can also be used on the move as a handheld device too.
The console combines a great mixture of what made the Wii and Wii U so popular. Providing motion control gives the user the ability to truly get involved in the games they play. You can use it on your home TV by placing it in Dock Mode, or pick it up and play using the built-in screen.
What’s Inside The Box?
Whilst there are many accessories you can purchase, you’ll be pleased to know that you get everything you need to get started inside the box.
There’s the main console, 2 detachable controllers (these are called Joy-Cons) with straps, and the main dock that is used to connect to your TV. Inside this bundle, you also get to download the full version of Mario Kart 8. And finally, you also get the actual HDMI cable to connect it to your TV.
Handheld Mode
Unlike other handheld consoles, the Switch has a larger screen allowing for better gameplay. The controllers are attached to either side of the console for regular gaming. But when motion games are played, they are removed and each player has their own controller.
Just slot in the game cartridge you want to play and head out to play it wherever you want. No need to be stuck indoors, head out and get some fresh air whilst enjoying your favorite games.
Console Mode
To use the Switch as the main console, you just need to place it in the dock station. This connects to your TV via the included HDMI cable.
The Joy-Cons can then be removed and you and your friends and family can enjoy gaming on your TV. It’s a very simple process to use the console in either the handheld mode or when attached to the TV.
Tabletop Mode
The third mode that the Switch can be used for is the tabletop mode. You simply stand the console on the table and can then play it like a regular console. The screen has a kickstand attached to the back, so it’s easy to set up and is very sturdy when in place.
This mode means that several people can all play at once if there’s not a TV you can currently attach it to.
Set Up
To set the Switch up is very easy indeed. If you’re using it as a handheld device, all you need to do is switch it on and you’re good to go.
To use it on your TV, plug the dock station into your TV via the HDMI lead, power it up using the USB power lead and then slot your Switch into the station.
Initially, you’ll have to enter your WiFi details in too but once that is done the Switch will remember them for future use. The touchscreen makes this a really easy task to perform.
Mario Kart 8
And as mentioned above, this Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle does of course come with the full download version of the Mario Kart 8 game.
The game itself is very addictive and great fun to play. There are bigger tracks than previous versions and 12 racers can all compete against each other. You can choose from 42 different characters including new ones that you might not have seen before. All these are unlocked for you from the outset.
The combination of tracks and characters will make each game different and you won’t be able to stop playing it!
Summary
The Nintendo Switch Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Bundle provides you with the ultimate in flexibility for gamers of all levels.
Use it as your main console and hook it up to your TV, or take hold of it and head outside to play in any location. With so many games to choose from, you’ll never get bored when you have a Switch around.
