The Nintendo Switch is a versatile hybrid game console that easily pivots between a big-screen TV and on-the-go portable. Its modular Joy-Con controllers are inventive. The entire hardware feels substantial and refined. Breath of the Wild is one of the be

The editors didn't like
Besides Zelda
There are only a handful of games and no Virtual Console. The screen feels small during tabletop sessions. Joy-Con layout is cramped and crowded
And the left one can have connection issues when wireless
Abstract: The Nintendo Switch is the culmination of years of tweaking, shaping and perfecting the art of console design. Without Nintendo, games as we know them today wouldn't exist and – just like the flurry of motion-enabled games and devices that followed in the...

Abstract: Console and system lifecycles are an interesting case study. I mean, it's really hard to beat the likes of the PS2, which clawed its way through the industry and survived in many countries well into the launch of the PS3. But Nintendo occasionally is up t...

Attractive, innovative design, Excellent game library, Solid build quality, Joy-Cons feel comfortable to use in multiple configurations
Short battery life, Online service needs work, Flimsy kickstand
The Nintendo Switch works as both a home game console and a handheld, offering access to a remarkably strong library of excellent games on your TV at home or in your hands on the go...
A handheld console and home console in one, Games tend to favor style over graphics, Has an affordable variant
(and Joy Con Grip) take time getting used to, unlike the PS4 Pro controller—especially if you have big hands; otherwise playing games isn't an issue. The console has three modes: Big Screen, handheld, and tabletop mode. Slide the game console onto the doc
Once you get used to the controllers, the Nintendo Switch Gaming Console really opens up to you. It's then you'll truly enjoy the colorful games it has to offer, whether you're being a potato at home or on the bus and have some free time. And having a che...
Hybrid design - functions as handheld and home console, Excellent exclusive games
Third-party support still lacking, Bare-bones online service, Least powerful console on the market
Nintendo have done it again. Just when their competitors start to take the lead, Nintendo has changed the game and stormed back to the front of the pack. The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid consolehandheld with a stunning library of exclusive titles. Sadly, p...

Three play modes make it convenient to use wherever, Excellent variety of available games, Smartly designed controls
Graphics are worse than rivals' offerings, Online membership features are inconsistent across games, Battery life of original model is short
The Nintendo Switch had a very strong start back in 2017 and has only grown stronger since then. More and more non-Nintendo developers are flocking to have their games appear on the platform, and Nintendo has addressed many criticisms of the launch-day co...
Extremely portable, Great for local multiplayer, Relatively low cost
Graphics aren't as good as other consoles, Lackluster online service, No Ethernet port, Wi-Fi only
An innovation in gaming.The phrase “Jack of all trades, master of none” sums up the Switch pretty well, but that isn't a bad thing. It does a whole lot well when it comes to portability, while being forced to make a few sacrifices in hardware, which doesn...
Conveniently lets you game on the go and at home, Has a strong selection of first party titles and choice indies, Online service is cheaper than the competition
Needs more third-party titles, Multiplayer voice chatting is wonkier than other consoles, Still no Bluetooth headphone support
Two years after its launch, the Nintendo Switch is an even more capable gaming console. Nintendo's bet on portability has paid off well: While other consoles are stuck under your TV, the Switch lets you bring your favorite games just about anywhere. Now...

Abstract: It may be hard to believe, but the Nintendo Switch was released exactly two years ago today - yes, time flies. The hybrid console is one of the most popular pieces of hardware to come out of Nintendo in recent years, and so I wanted to take a look back to...
Abstract: For decades, Nintendo's family-friendly video game consoles – and the worlds created within their unique games – have been beloved to adults and children alike. The New Nintendo 3DS XL aims to continue pleasing with upgraded hardware, improved 3D technolo...
