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
Abstract: Nintendo already had its eyes on making a TV-based games console portable when it released the Wii U back in 2012. Sadly, the lack of games, the extremely slow loading of games, and an even more irritatingly slow OS failed to catch on when compared to wha...

Our verdict of the Nintendo Switch:If you can live with unfinished software and a few bad design choices, the Switch and a copy of Breath of the Wild is a compelling purchase. A revision will ultimately fix some of the design complaints, but you could be...
If you're a Nintendo Switch owner, you should purchase 1-2-Switch, especially if you enjoy playing with friends. You're probably hyped to spend time in Hyrule, but 1-2-Switch is a one-of-a-kind experience.There is excellent variety in its games and a fun...

The Nintendo Switch is a solid piece of hardware that delivers an impressive gameplay experience in a small chassis. But a shallow roster of launch games beyond Zelda along with no concrete plan for legacy retro games leaves the Switch feeling more like...
Abstract: Happy NINTENDO SWITCH Weekend, Modders! We were lucky enough to get our hands on one of these bad boys on launch day (and by lucky, we mean standing in the cold at four o'clock in the morning waiting for the store to open, filled with existential fear tha...

Abstract: The Nintendo Switch is a really curious little system. In an age where graphical fidelity is always being pushed to its limit, Nintendo once again opts for a gimmick rather than true horsepower. However, in this case, it's a gimmick that I can totally get...
Abstract: The Nintendo Switch is a fascinating new game console built around a novel and well-executed central idea. It also has plenty of problems that will doubtless be improved upon in a future version. Nintendo is yet again trying something new, and here we are...
