Nintendo Switch
It switches like magic! One second, you're using Nintendo Switch as a home console, and the next you're taking it with you as a portable system. It's totally awesome no matter which way you use it.
HD to handheld
When used as a home console, the Nintendo Switch lets you play a great range of cool games in immersive HD. If you wish to use it in handheld mode, the experience is still pretty stunning thanks to a multi-touch capacitive touch screen which can display a resolution of 1280 x 720.
The joy of Joy-Con
The Joy-Con controllers really give Nintendo Switch an edge on similar gaming devices. One of the best features is HD Rumble; imagine your Joy-Con is a glass. With HD rumble, you'll feel the difference as you add ice cubes and pour water into the glass. This sense of touch goes way beyond the normal vibrations you might have experienced in other controllers. Meanwhile the IR Motion Camera can detect shape, movement, and the distance of objects captured by the camera, adding an extra thrill to your gameplay.
A word to the grownups
Parental controls on Nintendo Switch allows you to manage how your family interacts with the device.
Hours of fun
Excellent battery life means the fun can last for more than six hours, depending on software and usage conditions. For example, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild can be played for about three hours on one charge.
A mountain of memory
There's plenty of memory to play with here. 32GB of internal memory, while storage space can be extended by simply using microSDHC or microSDXC cards.

Nintendo Switch Review
The most compelling reason to get the Nintendo Switch is to play The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild , and that'll continue to be true for a while. While that hopefully won't come to define the Switch, Nintendo has a ways to go to convince everyone else.- Going from home to handheld use is easy and convenient
- simple user interface
- games are designed to take advantage of the system's strengths
- HD Rumble is neat (if a little gimmicky)
- Online gameplay is still an unknown
- some will find the Joy-Con controllers too small when separated from the console
- doesn't include a carrying case
- few games available at launch
- no support for wireless headphones
Nintendo Switch Review: The first real hybrid console
It has been two weeks since the Nintendo Switch launched worldwide, and with a custom NVidia mobile GPU, awesome Joy-Con devices, and a solid tablet experience, the Nintendo Switch has redefined how I look at handheld gaming.
The received wisdom in the gaming industry is that Nintendo builds plans around what it calls a ‘white shark' policy. The way the industry works is this: someone comes up with something that proves popular – be it software or hardware – and everyone else in the industry says ‘let's do that'.
Nintendo Switch Review
The Nintendo switch is a powerful hand-held Console compared to its predecessors. It surpasses the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS in every way. Although as a home console, it lacks the power that the 3-year-old PS4 and Xbox One has.- Feels like a premium product
- Very portable
- Option to play at home and on-the-go
- Quick and hassle-free transition from handheld to gaming on the TV
- Waking it up from Sleep mode is almost instantaneous
- Decent graphics
- Frame rate issues when docked
- Joy-Con on its own could be limiting to use
- Cannot charge Joy-Cons on the Grip
- Cannot backup files
- Cannot connect to a wireless headphone
Nintendo Switch Review
However, if Nintendo leaves you completely cold, and the idea of taking your games away from the TV or monitor and out into the real world isn't for you, you probably won't enjoy the Switch.
Nintendo Switch Console - Grey SWITCH GREY XKW review
In case you’ve been living in a cave for the past few months, this is Nintendo’s latest portable console that just hit the shelves.
Nintendo Switch updated review: Redefining the games console
A revolutionary console. It doesn't fade in the face of the PS5 or Xbox Series X. For many it's redefined on-the-go gaming, not just at-home gaming, thanks to top first-party titles.- Some of the best first-party titles on any console
- Use at home or on the go
- Joy-Cons are versatile
- Up to 1080p 60fps graphics
- No media streaming apps like Netflix
- Only 32GB storage without buying a microSD card
- Starting to show its age
Bad shipment
The product is great and I love it. But there is one thing I can't support, these guys didn't send it with cushions so the console wasn't playing around, plus one of the tow bracelets was broken because of that.
Great portable console
This is a great console simply because it doesn't need to be attached to a TV all the time, as well as how much tech is packed into the console and the joy cons. I only wish more games were released on this
Great console for everyone.
Best console I own. I would consider myself a enthusiastic gamer. I own a ps4, Xbox one and a gaming pc. But this is my favourite platform. I love how easy and user friendly it is, shame it doesn't have many games released. But what it does have it are great. I thoroughly recommend it .
