Bottom Line
Nintendo's upcoming Switch game system is a modular hybrid of a handheld and a home game console
Built around a tablet form factor
Weak launch lineup outside of Zelda
Wrist-strap needs a redesign
Dated processor from the get-go
Only 32GB of built-in storage
No Netflix/Hulu
Etc
Battery life may become an issue
Short battery life
Online service needs work
Flimsy kickstand
Third-party support still lacking
Bare-bones online service
Least powerful console on the market
Graphics aren't as good as other consoles
Lackluster online service
No Ethernet port
Wi-Fi only
Graphics are worse than rivals' offerings
Online membership features are inconsistent across games
Battery life of original model is short
Accessories are far too expensive
Online systems still need a lot of work
Launch feels rushed in general
Besides Zelda
There are only a handful of games and no Virtual Console. The screen feels small during tabletop sessions. Joy-Con layout is cramped and crowded
And the left one can have connection issues when wireless
(and Joy Con Grip) take time getting used to
Unlike the PS4 Pro controller—especially if you have big hands
Otherwise playing games isn't an issue. The console has three modes
Big Screen
Handheld
And tabletop mode. Slide the game console onto the doc
Limited internal storage
No packaged game
So-so battery life
Screen doesn't work well outside
Still waiting on more features
Expensive accessories
Needs more third-party titles
Multiplayer voice chatting is wonkier than other consoles
