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.
$578.00 - $589.00

Lots of fun!
This console offers lots of options and loads of fun! At home or on the go, the Nintendo Switch got you covered. Great graphics, long batter life and no lag game play!
"Great device - limited titles"
Awesome device, playing Legend of Zelda is almost worth the price. Good battery life. In my opinion wait until E3 or later for more titles, as it is, with no backwards compatibility with WiiU games its a bit limited.
As has been the case for past couple of generations in the home console space, Nintendo went in a different direction than either of its rivals (Sony and Microsoft) with the Switch . Once again, Nintendo's newest console does not engage the competition in a specs war.
Nintendo Switch
Nintendo does things differently. First came the Wii's motion controllers, then Wii U's tablet-style GamePad. Now the Nintendo Switch delivers a portable and home console in one that works well wherever you want to play on the go as well as at home.- Incredibly easy to use
- Gaming wherever you want
- The Joy-Con controllers are packed with tech
- Bright and colourful screen
- Accessories are very expensive
- Games cost more than on other platforms
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 review: the BigN knocks it out of the park with its innovative new console/tablet hybrid
So the Nintendo Switch has now been out for over a month and the dust is settling so to speak after one hell of a launch. Indeed, the Nintendo Switch proved to be so popular that Nintendo has had to double the production run on the new console to keep up with demand, with gamers falling over...- Innovative design
- Premium look and feel
- Attractive price point
- Not as powerful as PS4 or Xbox One
- Third party support is
- right now
- largely an unknown quantity
Review: Snake Pass has some great ideas but lacks finesse
Whilst Snake Pass has some highlights, it ultimately fails to connect gameplay and design in one cohesive experience.
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
