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
I was unashamedly pessimistic before heading off for my lengthy hands-on time preview session with Nintendo's Switch. Those unimpressive headline figures like that sky-high price and non-Full HD screen left me feeling pretty disappointed. But once I final...
A lower price would help sell more units but we're impressed with the hardware on offer with the Nintendo Switch. It might be limited to 720p on the tablet and 1080p to the TV but it's extremely versatile and that's a unique selling point. It's really the...
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...
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...

Lacklustre games line-up aside, we're really excited about the Switch. Not only is it a drastic improvement on the Wii U before it, but we're pretty much sold on the concept of the hybrid console, which is meticulously designed and offers truly innovative...

Abstract: Some are calling it Nintendo's last chance. At least at manufacturing a games console. The creator of smash-hit machines since the original Nintendo Entertainment System in 1983 suffered an ignoble commercial failure with Wii U. Announced last year and re...

Overall, I really love the Nintendo Switch. It's a well made piece of kit and, for me, the best hardware Nintendo has ever produced from a technical standpoint. The Joy-Con controllers are packed with tech and feel great in the hands, as does the console...
