The Teardown: Nintendo Switch gaming system
Paula Dempsey · Engineering & Technology · 2017
THE NINTENDO SWITCH is an ambitious attempt to be all things to all game players. It can be connected to a display as a traditional console, used in handheld mode with its controllers attached to either side of the 6.2in screen, or propped up by a kickstand on a tabletop with the wireless controllers once more removed. The main criticisms aimed at it following early March's launch were a currently anaemic online service and a lack of compelling titles other than 'The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'. However, that game has earned rave reviews and the Switch shifted 80,000 units in its first weekend on sale in the UK.
