Is it a handheld gaming system? Is it a home video game console? Well, the Nintendo Switch is all of them and more. The Switch is an attempt by Nintendo to bridge the gap between home consoles and portable\/handheld video game players.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s quite an ambitious goal considering it has to try and achieve the performance of home consoles while retaining the portability and ease of use of a handheld. We can\u2019t say it scores 10\/10 on everything. You can find a better handheld (e.g. Steam Deck) and certainly a more capable home console (e.g. PS5). But the Nintendo Switch does everything well enough that most users don’t mind the compromises. There\u2019s a reason it has sold<\/a> over 120 million units since launch.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s our review of the Nintendo Switch, including what we love about it and what we think are its biggest limitations.<\/p>\n

What Are You Buying?<\/h2>\n

1. Excellent \u2018On The Go\u2019 Gaming Console<\/h3>\n

The Nintendo Switch has three modes: TV mode, tabletop mode and handheld mode. The tabletop and handheld modes are designed to give players easy portability and flexibility.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been in the middle of a video game and wished you could carry your gaming system with you on the train or just to the other room? You can do exactly that with the Nintendo Switch.<\/p>\n

It easily transforms from a home console (we will discuss this mode shortly) into a handheld system consisting of a 6.2 inch LCD display and two Joy-Con controllers.<\/p>\n

The controllers slide on either side of the display, giving you easy access to buttons and analog sticks. This lets you play games while walking, on the train or while at the park.<\/p>\n

In this mode, the Switch is not as lightweight as we\u2019d like. You can get lighter and more portable handhelds. But for something that you can turn into a home or tabletop console, it\u2019s not too bad.<\/p>\n

Talking of tabletop mode, it\u2019s the second portable mode of the Nintendo Switch. In this mode, you can prop the display on a table or desk and use it as a gaming tablet.<\/p>\n

Slide out the Joy-Cons and attach them to the included grip to create one large controller. If you are playing with someone, you can each use a single Joy-Con as a controller.<\/p>\n

The tabletop mode is a lot more comfortable to use on the go as long as you have a place to put the Switch like on a tray or a table.<\/p>\n

While the Nintendo Switch is portable and fairly easy to move around with, there are three compromises that you\u2019ll have to endure.<\/p>\n
