In past years Nintendo has produced a lot of nice games and consoles the game boy advance, Nintendo game boy color and lot more( considered nice in the 1990's). After the arrival of ps4 and Xbox one, the Nintendo series was kind of outdated, it was as if they were not ready for development, they were not in for the competition yet.

older Nintendo versions

With time Xbox One and ps4 had taken over our minds, every gamer wanted more from Nintendo. Nintendo was left behind. I couldnt even find my Nintendo 2ds not even the wii

Being one of Nintendos biggest fan (as a kid ), I always wanted more from Nintendo but was severally disappointed not until 3 March 2017, Nintendo switch was released

The nintendo switch was more like a switch. It actually turned things around. Nintendo wants to win you back. Following the failure of its last home console, the Wii U, the publisher of Mario and Zelda announced very quickly that it was hard at work on a new console.

Though the legendary publisher made some amazing games in the meantime — such as Super Mario Maker and Splatoon — it felt like Nintendo was holding back, and fans accepted that because they knew a new era was on the horizon.

What’s good?

The Switch is a “hybrid” game console. It’s designed to plug into a TV just like a PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, or it can be carried around as a portable device, similar to the Nintendo 3DS, or Game Boy.

The Switch itself is a small tablet with a 6.2” LCD multi-touch display. Inside, the console has a custom Nvidia Tegra processor and 32GB of internal storage. It also has what you’d expect in a portable device: an accelerometer, gyroscope, Bluetooth 4.1, NFC, Wi-Fi, and Wireless LAN capability (IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac).

On the outside, it has a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, stereo speakers, power and volume buttons, ports for game cartridges, a MicroSD slot for expandable storage, a USB Type-C port for charging, and a kickstand.

It also comes with a dock, a cradle that the Switch slides into when you want to charge it or play it on a TV. The dock is effectively a hollow plastic hub that connects via the console’s USB Type-C port.
It has three ports on the back — USB Type-C for charging, HDMI for audio and video output, and a USB 2.0 port. There are also two additional USB 2.0 ports on the side. The rear ports are exposed via a simple door in the back, which also hides some cords.

The Switch is a perfect reflection of Nintendo’s own gaming sensibilities. Also included are two detachable controllers called “Joy-Cons,” which have all the controller buttons and slide onto the tablet, two Joy-Con straps, and the Joy-Con Grip, which fuses two Joy-Cons together as a single controller.

poor battery life

While the Switch can be used on the go, it’s not quite as portable as Nintendo’s 3DS. With battery life ranging from 2.5-6 hours in portable mode, depending on the game, the Switch won’t last through most flights, though it’s fine for the commute to work. The Switch also doesn’t fold up to protect its own screen, as does a 3DS, so a carrying case is a good idea.

how much does it cost?

The Nintendo switch is $299.99. It's considerably cheap I guess,You should get one.

Why you might want to see another version of switch

The console (and dock) are missing a couple hardware features. First, neither the console nor dock has any kind of camera, an omission that is more annoying than anything else. Since most people already carry around a smartphone with a camera, it’s

a feature that would likely go unused, though it does seem blasphemous to release a portable electronic device without a camera in 2017. Nintendo itself put cameras in its Wii U and 3DS systems.

Second, the Switch can only connect to the internet via Wi-Fi out of the box. Third-party LAN adapters are available, but they only work when the Switch is docked because they need a USB Type-A port.

Play your way

Though the Switch is a small tablet, it wears its soul outside of its small casing. The Joy-Cons can be used to control games in many different ways. The small, remote-style controllers slide and snap into place on either side of the Switch, turning it into a handheld gaming device á la Nintendo’s Game Boy and 3DS systems.
Sliding the Joy-Cons on and off may be one of the best physical design features of any game hardware in modern memory. It is easy, fun, and there’s a nice click that you can both feel and hear when the Joy-Cons are in place. It’s a seamless transition to make, even in the middle of game.

The Switch feels good in-hand. Both the console and Joy-Cons feel sturdy and have a solid, “premium” build. The Joy-Con’s matte finish makes the console look and feel modern, whether you buy the grey or colorful red-and-blue version. At 398 grams (0.9 pounds) with the Joy-Cons attached, it is light enough to hold for long stretches in portable mode.

Though the dock doesn’t feel as sturdy or well-constructed as the console itself, it gets the job done. Though only the USB-C port holds it in place, the Switch seems secure in the dock, and we never experienced connectivity issues between the console and dock. It can be tricky to connect the Switch console to the USB-C port in the bottom of the dock on the first try, and it could use the same “click” of recognition you get from the Joy-Cons to let you know that the console is secure.

When the console is connected to its dock, or if you simply don’t feel like holding the whole console, you can use Joy-Cons freely or slot them into Joy-Con Grip, which turns them into a conventional controller. The Grip works like any other gamepad, but it’s much smaller than the PS4’s Dualshock 4 or the Xbox One controller. That can cause discomfort for most adults. The Joy-Con’s small control sticks aren’t as large as usual, either, so they can seem hard to grip. The optional Pro Controller fixes this problem — and is a great gamepad all-around — but it’s a $70 accessory.

A multiplayer machine, even on the go

Having two Joy-Cons opens the door for self-contained local multiplayer experiences. Some games allow players to each use a single Joy-Con as a controller. The Joy-Cons also have all the motion sensors necessary for gesture-based, motion-controlled games, similar to the Nintendo Wii.

However, using the individual Joy-Cons as mini-controllers for local multiplayer can be downright uncomfortable. The controllers are very small and, when turned horizontally, have a rounded rectangular shape. Holding onto them can become painful after sustained and/or intense play sessions.

The console’s included “Joy-Con straps” add more comfortable shoulder buttons and, of course, a u strap, to each Joy-Con – but they only slightly improve comfort. The Joy-Cons aren’t identical, either. The analog stick and buttons are in different positions on the left and right Joy-Cons.

The analog on the right Joy-Con is basically in the center of the controller, which makes it difficult to get a grip on the stick. The player with the left Joy-Con definitely has an advantage if a game uses the thumbstick. If you need a controller in a pinch, it might be a better option to use a spare GameCube controller — thanks to a recent update, they’re compatible.
