Nintendo Switch Review: First Experience Jimmy Tries World

This is the Nintendo Switch. Nintendo’s latest Handheld. Or uh. Home console. Let’s call it both. A Hybrid. Like a Prius. Only Sexier. Let’s get started with a basic unboxing, here is the Neon joycon controller Nintendo Switch. The box looks pretty cool. Let’s open it up. First you have your joycon controllers. Mine are Red and Blue? #PokemonRemakeConfirmed.

Then there’s the tablet. Which is actually pretty big. Here’s a comparison of the tablet compared to an iphone 7+ and an iPad mini. It’s literally right smack in the middle in terms of screen size. The screen is a 720p display with a kickstand. The joycon controllers each have 4 buttons that are either the A B Y X or directional buttons, an analog stick and a + or – button. They also each come with a left or right buttons and triggers depending on which one you’re holding of course. The left one has a capture button, while the right one has a home button and NFC reader. When not connected to the switch they also have L and R buttons so the left and right joycon can each be an individual controller for some games.

Beneath that you’ll find the dock, joycon wrist straps, an hdmi cable, an ac power cable, and the joycon controller dock thing. That’s its name now. Yep. I assume you already know what an HDMI cable and ac adapter is. So let’s move that out of the way. The dock has a spot to connect to your Switch, 2 usb ports up front, and behind the cover on the back of the dock it has an hdmi out port, power, and single usb.

But… Can it play games?

What made this console interesting to people was the fact that it can be used as either a handheld when undocked or as a home console when docked. I think a lot of people would like to know how seamless this process is. So. Let’s find out. In and out. In and out. In and out. It’s that simple. Seamless. What about those joy con controllers you ask? Well, there’s a little button on the back you press and they just slide out. They slide right in as well. BAM. Tell your xbox to do that! The tablet itself has a power button up top. Volume buttons right next to it. Then a headphone jack and game cartridge slot.

The touch screen is 6.2in with two speakers towards the bottom. And the sides have the railing where you slide the joycons into. Enough about lame features. You want the real stuff.


So let’s play some games on it. The only one I got with it was The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The game runs pretty nicely on its own but Nintendo themselves have said the tablet will run for about 2.5 to 6 hours of battery life. It does however, look a lot nicer on the big screen. Altogether I think it is a pretty interesting console. I am sort of curious though, they said the switch connects via USB-C. And here I have a usb dongle you can buy on amazon for $73.00, cheaper than the Switch dock but with all the ports plus a sd card slot. So let’s try it. And… it works. And…. It doesn’t work. Whatever, it was worth a try.

The UI of the Switch is very, PS4-like. The UI of the Switch is like a mixture of the 3ds and Ps4’s UI. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet. I’m gonna have to spend more time with the switch to truly get an idea. So expect a video in a couple of weeks for a more in depth review of this machine.

Anyway, I hope you guys found this video useful, if you enjoyed it, give it a thumbs up, comment, and don’t forget to subscribe. I’ll see you guys next time.
