It has been two weeks since the Nintendo Switch launched worldwide, and with a custom NVidia mobile GPU, awesome Joy-Con devices, and a solid tablet experience, the Nintendo Switch has redefined how I look at handheld gaming.

The received wisdom in the gaming industry is that Nintendo builds plans around what it calls a ‘white shark' policy. The way the industry works is this: someone comes up with something that proves popular – be it software or hardware – and everyone else in the industry says ‘let's do that'.

The Switch fixes all of the mistakes of the Wii U and doubles-down on that system's best feature. But there are still plenty of issues and unanswered questions that leave us worried.

Innovative hardware; Being able to play your games anywhere is unique; A huge step up from the Wii U

So-so battery life; Screen doesn't work well outside; Still waiting on more features; Expensive accessories

As has been the case for past couple of generations in the home console space, Nintendo went in a different direction than either of its rivals (Sony and Microsoft) with the Switch . Once again, Nintendo's newest console does not engage the competition in a specs war.

Thank you QVC

The Nintendo switch is a fantastic gift for my child who is disabled , very light and easy to use wonderful graphics and also parent control is awesome what a great switch. Great game for all the family would highly recommend buying it from John Lewis with insurance
