Nintendo Switch
Overview
The Nintendo Switch is an amazing console, even if it is just an upgraded version of the PS Vita. The amazing Joy-Cons, and the ability to just "switch" it from the T.V. screen to handheld mode is awesome. I also think it's pretty cool that you grab the Joy-Cons and put them in the provided grip, or just leave them on the Switch itself. This handheld console seems to be out of this world, but is it?
Graphics
Graphics
While the graphics of the Nintendo Switch definitely aren't on Xbox or Playstation level, they still are pretty good for the relatively small console. In fact, the graphics of the Switch are closer to that of the Wii U. Unfortunately, we won't be getting 4k gameplay with the Switch, even when docked. The highest resolution while docked will be 1080p. The graphics card can process about 1 teraflop. So overall, the graphics are pretty good since it is a small console, and can only go so far
New Controller(s)
The Joy-Cons
The Joy-Cons that were made for the Nintendo Switch is one of the many thing that makes this new handheld console so extraordinary. The Joy-Cons are one of the most important parts of the Switch's ability to be a handheld system, or a TV one. A nice thing about the Joy-Cons are always available at your local Best Buy, Walmart, or Target. You can also easily find them on Amazon. Another thing I like about the Joy-Cons is that they are very customizable. There are a lot of cool skins online that you can get for your Joy-Cons based on what you like. Joy Cons are also very collectible, having many different interesting colors. There are some downsides though, such as Joy-Con drift, which is something Nintendo will fix if you bring them to the shop. The grip is also dislikeable, since there small. Overall, I'd give the Joy-Cons a solid 4/5.

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
I LOVE this controller. It's is so responsive, feels great, and the analogs feel awesome. This controller shames the Joy-Cons. It has all of the the button the Joy-Cons have too. The home button, the share button, and the pluss and minus button too. There's a USB-C slot and a slightly see though cover as well. Motion control is available, and it's nice that Nintendo made sure that amiibo's will work with the controller. However, it is on the expensive side, and a little boring, but overall it is the best controller I have ever seen in my life.
