A year and a half after its launch, the Nintendo Switch has almost entirely lived up to the initial promise it made. While I may not have brought it out at any rooftop parties, I have played major games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Skyrim on the train, had spontaneous Mario Kart 8 sessions with friends, and have still been able to sit down on my couch and play all of those games and more on a big screen. And though daily use has forced a few design flaws into the light, the Switch has easily solidified itself as one of my favorite consoles.
The Switch’s biggest selling point truly does stand as its greatest strength: being able to effortlessly bring console-quality games anywhere you go. While it seemed like a lofty goal when the Switch was first announced, it’s one Nintendo has soundly delivered on in almost every way that counts. I love how easy it is to go from playing docked to undocked and back again, and I don’t really feel like I’ve paid for that ability with the quality of the games I’m playing.
