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.

Review: Nintendo Switch

Nintendo's Switch comes out on Friday. I've been playing with the Switch -an all-in-one gaming machine that works as both a handheld device and a TV game console-for the last two weeks.
Pros:
  • Gaming anywhere you want. Joy-Cons are marvelous, versatile controllers. Amazing graphic quality from a relatively small tablet
  • Not as powerful as a PS4, but Nintendo got out of that game a decade ago. Sleek UI. Region-free game shopping is the best
Cons:
  • Left Joy-Con's wireless connection is flaky
  • Can't charge controllers while playing on TV
  • Can't charge the tablet in kickstand mode
  • Online functionality is bare-bones
  • EXPIRED: Goddamned Friend Codes again

Nintendo Switch review: Excellent hardware with one roadblock

I have something of a love/hate relationship with Nintendo consoles, especially in recent years. While I grew up with consoles like the Super NES, Nintendo 64, and Gamecube, in the time since then my preference has shifted to Nintendo's handhelds like the DS and the 3DS.
Pros:
  • Nintendo's dream of hybrid gaming fully realized
  • Truly exciting hardware that stands out from the rest
  • Fairly solid launch lineup
  • especially with Zelda
Cons:
  • Accessories are far too expensive
  • Online systems still need a lot of work
  • Launch feels rushed in general

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.
Pros:
  • Incredibly easy to use
  • Gaming wherever you want
  • The Joy-Con controllers are packed with tech
  • Bright and colourful screen
Cons:
  • Accessories are very expensive
  • Games cost more than on other platforms

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.

Some things are worth it

32k for this console is the best deal u will ever get in India. Those who state US prices and option of importing have never really imported anything in their lives. Imprt duties 10800 and shipping dhl 4500, do the math. Secondly, with games u do not need to worry if u go digital.
