  • Our take on the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Console

    The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid game console: a 6.2-inch 720p touchscreen tablet with two detachable Joy-Con controllers that slides into a dock to play on a TV at up to 1080p. It runs on an NVIDIA Tegra chip with 32 GB of built-in storage, expandable by microSD, and connects over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1. Its draw is flexibility: handheld, tabletop with the kickstand, or docked, with the same games in each mode. Rivals like the PlayStation and Xbox are stationary and more powerful; the Switch trades raw performance for portability and Nintendo's first-party library. Reviewers and owners praise the concept and the games, and criticise the Joy-Con drift, the modest battery life and the dated 720p screen.

    • Joy-Con driftCriticisedOwners report analog sticks that register movement on their own after months of use.
    • Battery lifeCriticisedDemanding games drain the battery in a few hours, so long trips need a charger.
    • VersatilityPraisedPlayers like moving the same game between handheld, tabletop and TV.
    • Game libraryPraisedNintendo's own titles are the main reason people buy it.
    • ScreenMixedThe 720p LCD is fine in handheld but looks soft next to newer displays.
    • StorageMixed32 GB is small for downloaded games, so most owners add a microSD card.
