Review on Game console Nintendo Switch 32 GB, Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition by Wiktor Krzysztof Kor ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best I ever used, recommend it to everybody.

I took it on New Year's holidays 2022 with an excellent discount on the console itself and games. Two things prompted the purchase: first, that most bloggers on youtube just “licked” this console and shone it (yes, Nintendo’s publicity stunt was a success), that this itself arouses curiosity to try to “return to childhood” yourself. And the second, I played Zelda on an emulator on a PC and got really hooked. I must say that the console initially did not make the best impression. Wild price tags for games and accessories, soapy images in TV mode are discussed everywhere, which is why at first I didn’t even get the dock out of the box, there was somehow no desire to take many sensational ports of games, because I’m not a fan of this or even played on a PC but didn’t gone at all. As a result, there was Zelda, Odyssey, Toad, and that's all. You can't do anything but play, and in January, a letter came from Ning about raising prices for games in the 2022. Well, we've arrived. Then, various sales suddenly began, even with discounts on all games from Ning herself! Slowly, various games appear, including exclusives, which I do not mind playing. Their whisper about the total mass of course, but in general, something rarely catches me. On the PC lately, what you don’t take from the popular, well, in general, zero emotions or infuriates or solid screensavers, training and tryndez. For the sake of experiment, I decided to get the dock out of the box, just try it and . on TV, the same Zelda looks completely different, I left it, I'm playing now. Then I bought a gamepad, it’s still more convenient with it, whatever one may say. And suddenly, slowly, I began to notice that I was not playing on a PC, not on Vita, but mainly on a switch, and most importantly, playing on a switch, somehow you relax more and enjoy the gameplay, nothing infuriates or irritates, after the game there is no sediment that you just "profukal" time. And the fact that the switch is always ready to work in just a second, even if you get sleepless at night, you take the console and play right away, any two minutes of free switch in your hands, it was similar with the PSP at one time.

Pros
  • 1. The console is pleasant to hold in your hands, the index fingers fit comfortably on the triggers. Made well, the materials are pleasant, the little fingers do not hang in the air as with PSVita, the hands become less numb during a long game, but still, alas. 2. The display is good, resolution, IMHO, for the eyes, there are no questions about colors and temperature. The text in the games is quite readable, unlike the same Vita, to which many games from PCs and older consoles were ported, with a backlog for a healthy screen, but the font was not changed in any way, sometimes the eyes flowed from reading the macro text in the same Resident 2 or Borderlands 2 , For example. Size 3. On the one hand, for a portable console, the console is a bit healthy, for example, there was a break at work, in which case it will not be possible to get the console out of your pocket, play and calmly put it back. You need to go, take it from the bag, which is worth hell knows where, then put it away there. On the other hand, we have normal, pressing sticks with a relatively normal stroke and a screen that is quite large enough for a comfortable game even without TV mode. 4. TV mode. What can I say, H showed what you need to strive for ideally. There is only one console, one save, if you want, play outside the house or in other rooms, for example, or you can fall apart in front of the TV with a gamepad, which is a completely different feeling. Switching is instant without any priblud and synchronization. 5. ARM architecture. The console is always ready to play. Do you have two minutes to spare? You don’t have to wait until Windows loads, the game starts, you just woke up the console and in a second you are already exactly at the point where you left off. 6. Battery. Here, too, everything is ambiguous. On the one hand, when playing Zelda or Odyssey, the console holds somewhere around 3 miserable hours, but usually during these miserable three hours I managed to play enough so that I clearly needed a break. If you take the console with you on trips, that's another story. 7. Memory. Initially, I immediately took a 128 GB card, which I later regretted a bit. I didn’t take a lot of games, mostly on cartridges, a 64 GB card would be enough.
Cons
  • 1. The coating of the joycons is erased quite quickly, after a week of toys (gray color), in places where the fingers are located, the plastic has become glossy, but otherwise remains matte. 2. After the "riots" of Roskomnadzor with blocking everything and everyone, there may be problems with playing online. For example, I had problems with Mario Kart, that in Splatoon, then the windows "no response from at least one console" or "no connection with other consoles" fell out, then I managed to connect, but not a single player was recruited no matter how long you wait. . After a couple of months, the problem suddenly disappeared by itself. Different providers, judging by the reviews on w3bsit3-dns. Com, may not work with different games, for example, Splatoon does not see servers, Mario Kart without problems, or vice versa. 3. Prices. Like many, I chose the strategy of buying games on cartridges, which turned out to be quite difficult, because there are hits and new ones, but something less popular and old, especially indie, there was hell. I even searched for Captain Tod for a long time, I barely found a used one. You can buy a figure, at a discount, of course, especially since recently they have been more or less often, according to which the price tags are approximately compared with a PC (store with the letter S) without discounts. It happens, of course, that the price tags differ as much as 10 times, here the logic is not completely clear, this is past. But as a fact, for example, taking Little Nightmares, we get a "bit" blurry picture, even in portable mode, less smooth, which can be played, of course (the game was still not without pleasure on the switch), but on a PC it just looks better , but you can’t throw a PC in a backpack, even in the case of a laptop, a switch is much more convenient. But it's true, the lyrics are simple, I would like cheaper games. 4. About the price tags for the original gamepads and accessories, I just keep silent.
