As said, one would be eager to try the console as soon as one gets it. Although you can do it as the hybrid console arrives with some juice in it, it is not ideal to play on a straight-out-of-a-box Switch. It would be advisable that you check if it powers on and then put it to charge fully.

Once fully charged, you need to set up the Switch. The first thing would be to connect the Joy-Cons and check if they work. Then create a Nintendo account, although it would be better to create one beforehand. Once it’s done, you are ready for gaming.

Get a good internet and HDMI

When you get a Nintendo Switch, try to have a good internet connection. You would require it for many things, like logging into your Nintendo account, downloading games from the store, and even playing some games.

Now it is a hybrid console, meaning you can use it as a home console. But to use it as a home console, you will require an excellent HDMI cable to connect it to a television for a mind-blowing big-screen experience with the Nintendo console.

Getting good Nintendo Switch games and accessories

Getting good video games might be the most important thing to remember. As a first-time Switch user, you should get fan favorites like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Pokemon: Legend Arceus. Most of these games would cost around $60 but can get a good sale on Black Friday.

If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on games the first time, there are some exciting free games like Fall Guys and Fortnite. Instead, you can invest in accessories like a Pro Controller, Switch Micro SDXC Card, screen protector, power bank, and a Switch case.
