Review on Game console Nintendo Switch 32 GB, red by Adam Kardasz ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There are disadvantages, but the product is usable.

I took this console already having PS4 Pro and Xbox One. Bought for portable use only. It took me 1 time to connect the console in stationary mode to see the Switch dashboard in 720p on my 4K, there was no such soap even on PS3. Never been a nintendo boy and buying the Switch didn't change my mind. Yes, the console has its own exclusives, but they are for an extremely narrow audience. Of all, only The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild entered - it is a masterpiece. The multiplatform is very weak, AAA projects can be counted on the fingers, and those that exist are ports of old games. The console is very behind in development from the rest of the market. The OS installed on the Switch can’t do anything except launch games, all that was added is Youtube - and that is a port of the old application from Android TV. There is no browser - at the same time, again, it is in a neutered form for device authorization from hot spots. There is no way to even connect AirPods. Ultimately, I passed Zelda and now the console is gathering dust on the shelf, because there is nothing to do with it. Nintendo's policy is at odds with the economic situation in the 2022. There are almost never any discounts, the price for AAA projects is always $60, indie games that are on other consoles are cheaper or free on iOS & Android here quietly cost $20-30. It turns out that Switch is the console of 1 game, to which nothing can be connected and there is nothing to do except play this one game. For Nintendo consoles, this is certainly a big leap forward, but for ordinary gamers it is clearly a toy for a couple of evenings. Perhaps by the end of the console's life cycle, a new Zelda will come out and I will play it again.

Pros
  • - The only representative of current portable consoles - Exclusive games (for ordinary players only 1 - Zelda) - Very quiet cooling (I did not immediately realize that active cooling was used) - Cartridges as a carrier for boxed versions of games - Universal USB Type-C charging port - Unlike Sony portable systems, there are not only bumpers, but also triggers - Comfortable leg, for setting the console on the surface - Support for memory cards up to 2Tb
Cons
  • - Disgusting screen (if a resolution of 720p can be explained by poor performance, then the use of an air gap is no longer possible) - Small amount of memory 32Gb (some games without an SD card can not even be installed) - No support for bluetooth headphones (who uses wires in 2022-8?) - The right stick is poorly placed, the finger is constantly in tension when using it - No multimedia capabilities (for 2 years of development of the operating system, the only thing that has appeared is Youtube) - The docking station was made for $ 5 (in addition to cheap plastic, it also scratches the screen and case when removing the console) - The docking station does not have a LAN connector - After a long time of using the console in stationary mode when using Joy-cons, the chassis on the console itself becomes loose and the Joy-cons in portable mode begin to not hold firmly
