Nintendo

One of the biggest drawbacks of the Nintendo Switch at launch are the optional and not-so optional additional buy-ins it requires.

With a 4310 mAh internal battery, the Nintendo Switch boasts battery life of up to five hours, around three hours on graphical intensive games like Breath of the Wild.

Nintendo makes jumping into play with the Switch ridiculously easy. Within the space of five minutes I was already poking my way through the eShop, and that was after a brief system update and logging into my Nintendo Account.

The Nintendo Switch is the culmination of everything the company has achieved over the past three decades, and is by far the best piece of gaming hardware Nintendo has ever produced.

A bizarre and frustrating backflip suggests the company still has a long way to go before gamers can trust its online credentials.

Developer Yacht Club Games has a strong relationship with Nintendo, and so its support of Switch should come as no surprise.

Jayden Williams sat down with lead programmer and studio co-founder David D’Angelo to talk more about Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment and about developing for Nintendo’s hybrid home console / handheld system.

Rumours about a Pokemon game on Nintendo Switch haven’t evolved beyond being just industry chatter, but The Pokemon Company is still thinking about how it can bring the famed franchise to the console.

With 32GB of internal storage, many consider the Switch to offer inadequate space in a digital era. Thankfully, many of the console’s upcoming titles will fit comfortably on the Switch’s internal storage.

Let’s hope that when Nintendo starts talking Virtual Console on Switch, the company doesn’t expect us all to pay for Super Mario Bros. for the hundredth time.
