Attached to the Switch Grip quite so much. Somehow the non-offset thumb-stick and button layout seemed worse in this form and it's not ideal in handheld mode. The fairly wide
The Xbox One and the Nintendo Switch are both very different devices in many respects, so they're hard to easily compare. The Xbox is slightly cheaper, and offers most of the standard big budget videogames on some pretty powerful hardware, while the Switc...
We have only had hand-on time with the Switch so this is an early first-impressions verdict. We think the Switch is an enticing piece of hardware with its many different ways of playing, improving vastly on the Wii U. Zelda might be enough for many to upg...
It's a tough choice as the PS4 and Switch are very different, and the decision will depend on your personal preferences: mobile vs home, graphics vs portability, and most importantly, the kinds of games you play. The Switch is more expensive than the PS4...

Abstract: In hopeful pitches delivered to panels of drab-suited, stern-mouthed men, game-makers will refer to their games as being 'platform agnostic'. It's a way to make a game more attractive to publishers; the fewer features unique to a particular console a game...
Given there's only two AAA games on launch (and one's a bunch of mini-games), there's little point picking up a Switch day one. Wait a few months for Mario Kart 8: Deluxe, Splatoon 2 and indie titles like Team 17's Overcooked, before handing over the cash...

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 c...

Abstract: The Nintendo Switch will ruin your life. You'll find yourself hunting wolves while brushing your teeth and chasing chickens on the bus. When you should be sleeping, you'll be sitting in bed trying to climb a mountain to find out what's on top. The answer...

Like this review, we feel the Nintendo Switch is a work in progress. We will have to update it regularly as Nintendo pushes new features and ups the ante with its games releases (Mario is to arrive at the end of 2017, for example). In doing so the Japanes...

Yes. If you love Nintendo and want to keep playing new Nintendo games, or already own a modern game console, then the Switch should be your next game console. However, if this is your first modern console, or if you mostly like to play a lot of games onli...

Abstract: In typical Nintendo style, the company's latest console – the Switch – is a rather eccentric device. A lot of people are still not entirely sure what to expect when it hits retailers worldwide on 3 March.We've spent a couple of days with one and here's wh...
