Nintendo Switch: Great games on the go


The Switch comes with a docking station (left) that connects to a TV. If you place the console into the docking station, it will output the display to the TV, allowing you to use the controllers detached from the console. — Photos: Bloomberg

The Switch lets you play games at home on a TV, on the go as a handheld, or with your friends as a tabletop device. It’s such a crazy concept, but what’s crazier is that it works perfectly.

ONE OF life’s interesting challenges is trying to explain Nintendo’s ­videogame consoles to non-gaming friends without sounding like a crazy person. 3DS: “the top screen is 3D but you touch the bottom”. Wii: “you swing this stick around and pray you don’t accidentally smack someone”. Wii U: “it ­connects to your TV, but the ­controller also has a TV.”
