The Nintendo Switch is a very great Gaming Console. Technical Specs are okay and allow great Games. That the Switch is String enough to present great Graphics and a very good performance, you can see at Nintendo exclusives like Luigis Mansion or all these Mario Games. Also Assassin's Creed looks more better than the same PS5 Version. Sadly is the fact that Nintendo allows Developers to publish their crappy Indie-Games and Mobile Games on the Console. In the eShop you mostly find very bad Games with poor Graphics, gameplay, Story. I also find games which was not playable because bugs in the Code of the Game. In this Case you will lose your Money because Nintendo not will do any refunds. For the Console are very less great Games available. You can count these good Games on you 2 Hands.

Pros

  • Great Console for Home or Mobile
  • Graphics are very good with Nintendo exclusives

Cons

  • eShop full with Indie and Mobilephone-Trash
  • Games are expensive

While it may not be the ultimate gaming console, it certainly comes with some uniquely fascinating games. As a casual gamer, I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to gaming. The Switch, however, is very entertaining and the controllers make the gaming experience very dynamic.

Pros

  • Controllers
  • Multiplayer games

Cons

  • Few 'serious' games

The console is great for what it is - handheld gaming device that can be docked as a console. That said, most games are visually impaired as far as framerates and resolution, most capping out between 720p and 1080p while docked and up to 720p in handheld (but constantly under 720p for the most part). The quality of the exclusive games are undeniable though, when they are actual Nintendo first party games like Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild. Other exclusives from 3rd party developers though don't seem to get the same level of quality assurance as 1st party games do (such as the Pokemon Legends Arceus and Pokemon Scarlet/Violet). 3rd party games are often visually basic yet have problems keeping a decent resolution and a stable framerate. Nintendo is also not fond of sales, so games tend to stay $50 to $60 for the long haul, like Breath of the Wild which is several years old now. It's a great portable system while on the go (just bring a charger) and is mediocre as a home console (not many apps like Xbox and PlayStation have). The library for backwards compatible games are non-existent unless you get the online pass and the expansion pass. Even then, there aren't many older NES, SNES, N64 or Game Cube games available to play and the classic libraries are not updated with new games that often.

Pros

  • Small and portable
  • Great 1st party exclusives
  • Fun controllers

Cons

  • Joycon drift
  • Poor battery life
  • Poor resolution
  • 3rd party games need QA
  • Unstable framerates
  • Not many 3rd party apps
  • Not backwards compatible
  • Digital game library is weak compared to Xbox and PlayStation
  • Underpowered
