Review: The Nintendo System


The most important thing to know about Nintendo Switch is, drum roll please, that there's surprisingly little to know at this point. It is on one level simply what it claims to be: a respectably powerful $299 TV games console you can buy . that also transforms into a handheld gaming powerhouse.



Not literally. There are no bending limbs or hidden robot heads lurking beneath its VIVID cap-acitive multitouch 720p screen. You simply pull the rectangular slate— book-ended by a pair of motion control sticks capable of advanced haptic feedback Nintendo calls Joy-Cons—from its U-shaped dock.



As a handheld, the Switch feels respectably rigid and durable, an unostentatious but good carbon-black slate that’s like a blue collar version of an Apple product. At roughly the same weight as an iPad mini (about 300 grams), it's compact enough to make playing games comfy. If your hands get tired in this mode, you can slide the Joy Cons up and off , prop the Switch on a flat surface with its rear kickstand, then continue playing wirelessly, your hands free to roam like creatures loosed from cages.
