Nintendo Switch: 8 Major Positives Nobody Is Talking About

8. No Installation Times

When was the last time you bought a game, went home and managed to play it immediately, without waiting for patches to download or the game to install?

It's become an increasingly bigger problem thanks to increasingly large file sizes and tighter production schedules, yet thankfully, the Switch doesn't have this issue whatsoever. As every physical game comes on a cartridge, popping one in sees the system recognise it immediately, letting you hop in right away with minimal in-game loading.

Indeed, ever since the PS1 wowed us with the fancy data capabilities and higher quality graphics of CDs, the industry completely shifted over, yet cartridge technology never stopped advancing. Now cartridges are able to store and load games like Breath of the Wild far faster than any contemporary triple-A release, resulting in a far more consumer-friendly experience.

Buying a game and playing it that same evening. Who'd o' thunk it?
