General questions about the Nintendo Switch?

I think for us (usually a threesome) to buy a Nintendo Switch.

But where I do not get through is the matter with the controllers.

If I understand correctly, I can put the switch in a box that is connected to the TV and then play on the TV.

How many controllers can be connected?
Are the controllers wireless?
Are the non-original controllers good for something?
Is it possible to connect controllers from different manufacturers or do they all have to be the same?
How about that with the Joy Cons, I can, for example. The two included + use a NoName controller at the same time?
Is there something I have to pay attention to or what I should consider in the switch?

You can only use a controller or a JoyCon set on a switch

Of course you can also buy the Switch lite coming soon, which will be much cheaper

Po

A maximum of 4 can be connected.
There are wireless controllers, as well as with cables. The wireless are of course a bit more expensive.
I would always stick with the original controllers. There you have the certainty that everything works. In addition, you have warranty from the manufacturer here. The quality is better by far. However, there are some that come close to the original ones. I would just read reviews on Amazon.
Yes, you can connect which from different manufacturers.
That works too.
I would recommend a carry-on bag to take away. In addition a protective film for the display. Some manage to scratch the display when inserting it into the docking station. Zelda & Mario Kart is a must have! Otherwise, I would simply say: Enjoy playing!

Yes, but as far as I know, can't be shot at the TV.

Why only 2? On some pictures I see 4 split screens.

Great, thanks for the answers! Sounds like you are very happy with the device, I interpret that correctly?

How many controllers can be connected?

Up to eight individual Joy Conss can be connected to a switch.

Are the controllers wireless?

Yes

Are the non-original controllers good for something?

Can't be a flat rate with yes or no answer. Depends as so often on the individual product.

Is it possible to connect controllers from different manufacturers or do they all have to be the same?

Yes it's possible.

Is there something I have to pay attention to or what I should consider in the switch?

Buy right now a suitable protective cover for the switch and protective film for the display of the handheld console. If you want to buy games as ESD, you should immediately get a big MicroSD card.

OK thanks! What does ESD mean?

Po

With pleasure. Yes exactly. I love the switch! I would buy it again.

Po

This means if you buy / download the game in the online shop

Up to eight (8!) Joy-Cons controllers can be connected to the switch.

ESD = Electronic Software Distribution -> in short, online purchase

Also the other controllers or just Joy-Cons?

Would you advise against buying a used device? Have read of a fan, that was already added to you? Are there other parts that wear out easily?

That depends entirely on the condition. I would look for a one that was not much in use / relatively timely bought.

I have with my release switch actually no problems so far. But sure, there are always Monday products. But I would not hang on any problems. If that's too big a topic, I'd bet on a new device and rely on the guarantee.

Is not different with me and even today on my my SNES only with original controllers am gambling on.

In addition, you have warranty from the manufacturer here.

They are not exclusive to Nintendo. Guarantee is also only a voluntary service of a manufacturer. Ergo this alone determines whether this or that is replaced or not. Of that time, one has "everywhere" a guarantee.

Zelda & Mario Kart is a must have! Otherwise, I would simply say: Enjoy playing!

Zelda I'm not quite with you, Mario for all the more evil "searched" is. For me alone would get the switch. Especially with Mario Maker for the switch.

Ly

A buddy of mine has bought the switch used and nothing is wrong. You can always be unlucky when buying, but there really is nothing against - as long as the price is in order.

My fan was never added and everything else is ok. What I personally can't understand why you have the battery of the console festverbaut. Anyone with a smartphone knows how fast a battery can subside. Otherwise, make fun and Mario really celebrate.
