We’ve spent a week with Nintendo’s successor to the Wii U.
In some instances, Nintendos quirkiness can reap dividends.
On the other hand, Nintendos ideas can occasionally leave would-be customers nonplussed.
Which brings us to the Switch.

Switchs big selling point is its flexibility.
Admittedly, youll probably know all this from Nintendos ads.
But how does the Switch stand up to day-to-day use?
Extremely well is the answer albeit with one or two caveats.
Its clear, simple to use, yet maybe a little too business-like.
Never mind the menus, though.
What about the games?
The message from Nintendo seems to be: Switch offers a bit of both.
If Switch game boxes look small, wait until you see the game cards.
Its here that we come to the first of those caveats we mentioned above.
The Switch does, however, offer something that its rivals dont: portability.
These gripes aside, the controls feel solid and comfortable in any of the Switchs configurations.
What the Switch could prove to be, however, is a rather different kind of handheld rig.
One curious thing we did encounter, though, came within a day of first receiving our review unit.
Best of all, the Switch doesnt feel like a compromise in any of its configurations.
Nintendo Switch is out on the March 3rd.
Well bring you more coverage of its eShop, games and online support very soon.
