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.
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-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.
Parental controls on Nintendo Switch allows you to manage how your family interacts with the device.
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.
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.
Manufacturer: Nintendo
The Nintendo Switch is finally here. After what felt like ages speculating as to what Nintendo's codename NX was, it feels almost surreal to finally hold what is undoubtedly Nintendo's coolest piece of hardware yet.
True console gaming on the go; Innovative modular design; Joy-Cons feel great; Clean and simple UI
Connectivity issues with left Joy-Con; Lack of features out of the box
Honestly, there's a lot to like about the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo is marketing it as a home console, which it is definitely competent at being, but where it excels and goes far beyond what any other gaming device has been able to do is in its ability to successfully take that full home console...
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.
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
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 is taking a bold step with its latest game system. The $299 Switch is effectively a total replacement for the Wii U console, but it also can be used as a handheld like the 3DS.
Attractive, innovative design; Solid build quality; Joy-Cons feel comfortable to use in multiple configurations
Short battery life; Flimsy kickstand
Nintendo dares. No other hardware manufacturer takes the kind of risks Nintendo so often does. Whether or not it ultimately pays off is no reason to ridicule a philosophy that may not have served the company well in recent history, but which did make them a household name.
In many ways, Nintendo Switch is what the Wii U should have been, and even reprises some of the best games in its catalogue. It's a better built machine, sporting higher grade materials, an innovative Joy-Con controller setup, and a gorgeous screen.
The Switch fixes all of the mistakes of the Wii U and doubles-down on that system's best feature. But there are still plenty of issues and unanswered questions that leave us worried.
Innovative hardware; Being able to play your games anywhere is unique; A huge step up from the Wii U
So-so battery life; Screen doesn't work well outside; Still waiting on more features; Expensive accessories
Nintendo is selling a promise With the Switch, Nintendo is essentially selling a $400 promise. The console has issues, including what will likely be an underpowered processor, a possible lack of third-party support - though Nintendo claims to have 50 developers and publishers on board with the...
Handheld-home console hybrid is compelling; Build quality is impressive; The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is amazing
Launch titles are not great; It's expensive at $400 CAD; Battery life is less than stellar
The Switch Could Turn You On
Clearly, Nintendo knows how to make fun consoles for the whole family. The Japanese firm has been able to learn from some of their past mistakes to make a product that is flawlessly functional, like a portable Wii U crossed with a Wii.
