@Mr-Fuggles777 hotspot works fine on every online game (overwatch player here) this will work out great.

60 fps HD is nice, but honestly I grew up through 5 generations of game consoles and 30fps SD is fine.

Its more difficult (because lets be fair this is a shooter) and I wouldnt want to try competitive using the switch, but for just playing and enjoying apex its more than enough.

Heck, look at the install base for Fortnite, the graphics and draw distance are a huge disadvantage, but portable is king

@kategray Amazon has a ton of great options, and honestly the only thing you could break is using the wrong screwdriver (use a 3 pointed one that comes with the swap kit... I made that mistake)

Other than that, follow any quick youtube video tutortials and you should be done in about 20 minutes.

Heres a basic one: https://www.amazon.ca/Awaqi-Replacement-Housing-Nintendo-Console/dp/B07NWHFXMQ

But theres a ton of backs that are designed to look like special edition sets.

And hey, if it goes well you can make an article about the experience!

As someone who has owned his won very beat up switch, I highly recommend buying a back casing replacement! With the screwdrivers that come with it I've swapped out the back on my switch 2 times now (once to fix damage once to change the color) and it's given my old switch new life.

Not to mention a lot of the back plates have a lot of personality!
