It is also necessary to note the following points (it is impossible to call them full-fledged minuses, but it is definitely worth paying attention):
- Very well-marked case. Even if you take the console with clean hands, there are still fingerprints on the plastic on the back. Therefore, if you want to keep the presentation of the set-top box, I recommend buying some kind of case so as not to scratch or smudge it, as well as stick a protective film or glass on the screen.
- Very flimsy stand. Sometimes it looks like it's about to break off.
- Sticks. After a week of using the console, they were already a little "loose". It feels like they won't last long. Though if you're being careful.
- Only 32 GB of internal memory of which only about 27 GB is available for games. And this is literally 2-3 games. If you want to play, for example, The Witcher 3, you will also have to fork out for a memory card, because the game weighs about 30 GB. All of the above applies only to digital versions of games. If you buy cartridges, then for the game you only need to download an ate, which weighs noticeably less.
- All saves are stored only on the internal memory of the console. You cannot store them on a microSD card or save them to a PC if the console is broken or sold. Saves can only be imported to another Switch or uploaded to the cloud (not all games support) with a paid subscription.
- Paid subscription. It costs 1400. in year. And what does it include? It becomes possible to play over the network, store saves in the cloud (only for the duration of the subscription), access to several dozen rare games from the NES, as well as vouchers for the purchase of games (allow you to save when buying 2 games at once). No expensive games every month, like Sony will not.
- The high cost of games. In particular, exclusives from Nintendo. In the digital store, almost all of them cost 4,500. At the same time, discounts happen 3-4 times a year, and even then they take off no more than 20-30%. Cheaper to buy cartridges. They will cost less, because there is a secondary market.
