Switch Review

Brief Description;

The Nintendo Switch is a hand-held home console... trust me, it's not as mine-blowing as it sounds.

The Positive Points:

-The graphics may not be the best, but they are REALLY GOOD. Unlike the usual Nintendo graphics.

-Instead of coming with just one controller like other consoles (or in this case joy-con), it comes with two, meaning you can start playing multiplayer right away.

-You can "switch" very quickly and easily between big-screen at home, to small-screen on the go.

-The joy-cons + accessories allow you and your friends to play on the Switch in different ways.

-Nintendo LABO.

-Very fast at loading.

The Negative Points:

-The accessories and spare controllers for this thing are SO EXPENSIVE.

-By the time I release this review, the Switch will have been around for about 2 years. And there are still hardly any games out for it. Not only are there not a lot of third-party games, never mind exclusives, there are hardly any first-party games out for it either! And in case you didn't know, Zelda: Breath Of The Wild is also playable on the Wii U, so it's not Switch exclusive like some people think.

-The battery on the tablet, like it's predecessor, only lasts about 3 hrs. And it takes about 3 hrs to charge from 0-100%. That's outrageous!

-It only comes with 32 GB of storage, and the Switch requires it's own exclusive/overpriced memory cards... wow.

-The "switch" feature is almost completely unnecessary due to the large selection of on-the-go gaming platforms that people have these days. Also with the right adapters and wires, people can now hook up their PC and/or laptop to a monitor if they wanted to, so the "switch" feature isn't even unique.

-Also, this is just my opinion, but from personal experience I've found the Switch's joy-cons to be uncomfortable to hold and tedious to use.

-There are hardly any games, including retro games, on the eShop. And the few that still exist can only be purchased in the form of whole packages rather than individual games. Really Nintendo?

-No more Miiverse.

Innovative: No

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): Fair

General Public Rating: Overrated

Success: Only time will tell, but so far... Successful

My Personal Final Rating: OK (3/6)
