I’m torn between the domestic and multilingual versions—on one hand, the price difference is significant, but on the other, having more language options sounds appealing. I wonder how the performance compares to the original Switch, especially since they didn’t mention it in the article.
That’s a great point! The multilingual version does offer more flexibility, though the performance is nearly identical to the original Switch. The minor upgrades focus more on features than raw power. Ultimately, it comes down to your needs—both are solid choices! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
