At a recent hands-on event, we got an early look at Nintendo’s brand new console.

Here’s what we made of the Switch…

This Nintendo Switch preview originally appeared atDen of Geek UK.

You could blame the marketing, or the relative lack of must-have games at launch.

Its an example of Nintendos cute, utopian thinking.

So now that we know exactly what the Switch is, how does it actually feel?

Our immediate impressions were positive.

That added weight is a true positive.

The only question we have is where it would actually fit in our living room.

Those little Joy-Con have other hidden abilities, too.

The HD Rumble gets its chance to shine in a really odd game involving marbles.

This brings us to our main beef with the Switch so far.

We cant help thinking the Nintendo of 10 years ago wouldve included1-2 Switchor maybeArmsas part of the deal.

Instead, youre expected to pay $50 and $60 for them respectively.

Once again, Nintendo has produced a piece of hardware that positively bulges with possibilities.

Nintendo Switch launches on March 3.
