With the portable-only Switch Lite coming onto the market, I wonder if any of you would be interested in buying a "TV-only" Switch, just a standard home console that plays Switch games and comes with a Pro controller.
On the one hand, I think this is a silly idea because the whole marketing behind the Switch is that it's a system you can "switch" between being portable and docked. However, with the Switch Lite, it seems that Nintendo aren't really sticking to this idea. Most people play their Switch only in portable mode, but I've only really ever played in TV mode (aside from the first few days when I got it).
Given that the Switch hardware is basically comparable to an Nvidia Shield, the price of such a TV-only Switch could be much lower and a lot of unnecessary parts (LCD, battery, dock…etc.) can be completely cut out. Would also be awesome to replace the Joy-Cons with the Pro controller which is really what the Switch should be played with on a TV.
Would you buy one? If it came in at a similar price point to the Switch Lite and includes a Pro Controller, I'd jump given my Switch hasn't left its dock in over a year.
No.
