Review on Nintendo Switch 32GB Neon Blue/Neon Red by Mateusz Drabarczyk ᠌

Why did you buy the Nintendo Switch? The first reason is the same competitors, the games for which, for the most part, are also released on the PC, while they are cheaper. In this case, the console does not duplicate other platforms, it is good as an addition to the same PC. The second reason is that I liked the unique hybrid system: there is a tabletop mode, portability, an unusual 2-in-1 gamepad, the ability to play locally with two people anywhere. All the nostalgia of the 90s is felt, there is the same gaming experience from childhood. There are no complaints about the technical implementation - this is not the PS4 level, but everything works with dignity, clearly and without problems, no jambs or glitches. Mobile Tegra is surprisingly powerful, performance is more than impressive for such a hybrid device, while its capabilities have not yet been revealed by any game, the potential is huge - DOOM and Wolfenstein II were announced in September, let's see how they will work on Switch. The library of games already has more than 120 projects, one third of which I like, the second third does not evoke any emotions, the last third is about nothing. In principle, everything suits, the start was good, the popularity is still high, then it's up to the developers. The cons are: 1. Firmware is too primitive. There are no additional features that have long become the standard for the same smartphones and tablets. They will probably be added over time, we are waiting. 2. Prices for many games are not quite adequate. For a game 15 years ago, they will easily ask for two thousand. Switch is not for greedy people, keep that in mind. 3. Japanese implementation of some points. For example, voice communication in games through an application on a smartphone. Or a docking station that can scratch the edges of the screen. There are a dozen such trifles, they do not interfere with life, but they exist. The review was slightly ated on 09/14/2022.
