The Nintendo Switch<\/a> isn\u2019t unlike a NASA spacecraft, in that nearly every part of it has been specially designed to pull double or even triple duty. The system\u2019s modular design means that it has to function as a traditional home console, a portable system, and stand-alone tablet with wireless controllers. Getting a piece of hardware to do that much while also making it easy to use and understand would be an engineering miracle, and although Nintendo has come close in some regards, it has fallen well short in others. Overall, the Switch is an attractive and powerful but oversized portable gaming system that struggles to be a convincing or reliable home console.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that this review is still tentative, as we haven\u2019t yet had the opportunity to test the Switch\u2019s online capabilities, the eShop store, or a wide variety of games that use the individual Joy-Con as stand-alone controllers. Those functions and others (such as SD card compatibility) won\u2019t be enabled until the launch-day patch, which we\u2019re expecting to see either late Thursday or early Friday. We plan to have this review finalized in the following days.<\/p>\n

The first thing that struck me about the Switch is the overall quality of its look and feel. Regardless of whether you go for the neon blue and orange set or the more subtle gray pair, the handsome matte finish of the two included Joy-Con feels almost silken, begging to be touched. The console itself \u2013 the central tablet piece \u2013 is almost alarmingly small and thin when placed next to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or even the Wii U, but its mostly metal and glass construction gives it a sturdy, substantial heft. At the same time, it\u2019s still under a pound with both Joy-Con attached, making it comfortable to hold for long periods. (See the full dimensions and weight breakdown in our Nintendo Switch Wiki.<\/a>) Even small details like the way the Joy-Con snap into place on the included Joy-Con Grip to form something resembling a conventional controller convey a premium feeling \u2013 the kind of gadget lust that has eluded Nintendo for generations now.<\/p>\n
