Although Nintendo's new Switch handheld-and-console hybrid supports remote game downloads via Wi-Fi, it actually won't download digital eShop games in Sleep Mode.

Earlier tonight I bought Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment from the Nintendo Switch's eShop, expecting the console to auto-download the game while it's sleeping in its cradle. However I soon found out that the Switch tablet's Sleep Mode functionality isn't the same as the PS4, and it won't download games while asleep.

The sleep mode or sleep state is a low-power state available in Windows operating system, including Windows 10. This low power sleep mode comes in handy, especially for notebook and tablet users to extend the battery life.

According to the status message sent by Nintendo, the Switch has to be awakened out of Sleep Mode before it will download digital eShop games. 'Your download will begin once you wake your Nintendo Switch from Sleep mode. The time required to download may vary. You can check the status of your download via the icon displayed on the Nintendo Switch HOME Menu,' read the message.

So this tells us the Nintendo Switch's Sleep Mode turns off all functionality to retain battery life when undocked. It also appears the Switch will not charge attached JoyCon controllers while undocked as well.

Keep an eye out for more Nintendo Switch coverage in the future!

I've been reading on the matter and I just discovered that the vast majority of people leave their Switches in Sleep Mode. Not only that, but it's meant to be left in that mode when finishing sessions. Nintendo recommends it and a lot of users claim that for longevity purposes it's just the best thing.

On the contrary, a few people say that it's a waste of energy and that video game consoles tend to fail if put in Sleep Mode frequently.

I'm one of those people that usually play their 1-2 hours and then just turn off the system by pressing the power button for those 3-4 seconds, I don't usually use the Sleep function because it has always seemed to me like the hazardous option in the long run.

So my question basically is: what should one do? Power off or Sleep?

Sorry if I sound silly, btw, but I guess it's important.
