10 Ways Nintendo Switch Has Already Beaten The Wii U
6. An Esports Revolution
The likes of Counter-Strike and Dota 2 rule the lucrative eSports roost, but don’t be surprised to see Nintendo make a play for a slice of the pie with the Switch.
Its ambitions in this sector were made clear in the launch trailer as opposing teams can be seen squaring off against one another in paintball peltathon Splatoon.
The Switch’s unique hardware features make it a perfect fit for eSports, with competitors able to bring their own console to tournaments due to its portability.
What’s more, players can also enjoy the close quarters nature of local multiplayer combined with the luxury of having an entire screen to themselves when each team member is equipped with their own Switch.
However, the console’s greatest contribution to eSports could be its potential for practise sessions, making it possible for entire teams to assemble in the same room for dressed rehearsals ahead of a tournament.
