Nintendo Switch: 10 Crucial Pros & Cons You Must Consider

1. Pro: Potential For The Future Is Staggering

As an overall first impression from my time with the system so far, the sheer amount of potential embedded within its hardware is the biggest overall positive.

From motion controls that no longer require a sensor bar to the portability of home console gaming, the detachable, instant-local multiplayer function of the Joy-Cons, IR Sensor and Amiibo scanner, there's a TON of functionality baked into such a small system that the world's greatest video game think tanks are going to have a field day with.

At least, I hope they are, because if the industry doesn't embrace the Switch's potential with both arms, we're only in for more years of 4K resolutions and substance taking a backseat to style. Consider this: The Switch is the most unique console we've seen since the Wii, it feels assembled almost off the back of a wing and a prayer, but therein lies a charm and character like nothing else.
