[Sword & Shield] Docked or Handheld?

[Zeostar]

Do you like playing these specific games docked or handheld?

I prefer playing handheld. I feel accustomed to playing Pokemon games on a handheld, so when I tried on a television it felt unnatural.

I couldn't wait to play on my TV. The experience just seemed soooo much bigger than just the small screen. The only downside is I can't watch TV at the same time other than playing the game.

I felt the same way at first. I loaded it up at midnight on the TV. About 30 minutes later I couldn't take it anymore and went into handheld. It could be for totally unrelated reasons. Our switch is in a cold room with no heating. It's hard to resist the urge to take the portability and go somewhere warm.

Been handheld-only so far! It's just nice being able to walk around anywhere with it. I do love docked mode too nowadays though, so nice to play on a wide-screen TV, but I haven't used it for BDSP yet. :0

I go back and forth, but so far, I'm primarily playing the game in the handheld mode. It's just so easy to carry it around between rooms.

 

[Nah]

Docked. I rarely use my Switch in handheld mode in general.

Docked, with sometimes in handheld when im not sitting behind my desk.

As a Switch Lite owner I only have portable as an option, but I would been playing portable anyways if I had a regular Switch model.

Handheld. I've maybe only played my Switch in docked mod once or twice. Just easier to go wherever with it being handheld.

I will say I kinda wish it was smaller or something so it feels better in the hands.

I'm on a Switch Lite so I have no choice 😅
That said, even if I did I would still go handheld ^.^

 

[Zeostar]

I had no idea switch lite is handheld only.

 

[Shrew]

Docked. Handheld is too big for my hands.

 

[Elder Trainer]

Docked when possible. I can't hold a handheld for long periods anymore without feeling soreness at best and flat-out pain at worst, so a controller makes it a lot easier for me to play.

Always play my Switch docked! If they ever release a docked only Switch I'll definitely buy it.

I been using the Docked. Usually, when I leave the house I use it portable. :)

Handheld for me most of the time
I was so excited when I could play pokemon game on the TV at first but as time passed, I felt less and less of using docked

50/50, although i prefer the docked experience a bit more.

Docked. I dislike playing the Switch handheld mode!
Plus it doesn't register the controllers as being plugged onto the sides.
