The next console of Nintendo will surprise us with the quality of its screen, as well as its ergonomics disconcerting.

Friends in the hands of the giants, go your way : the Nintendo Switch is not for you. The next Nintendo console, which is expected on march 3 at the approximate price of 300 euros, certainly provides one of the control devices, the smallest ever seen. This is one of the many peculiarities of the console, that Pixel was able to try during two hours at a presentation organised by the brand.
note that Nintendo announced between two and a half hours and six hours of battery life, but that it was impossible to judge any of the consoles presented on January 13, are attached in fixed mode. Similarly, the interface of the console was not shown, nor are the online features. It was not even possible to try the “transformation” of the machine, of a home console in portable console.
An object that surprises
Each will be its own opinion on the design, greyish, in which some were able to find a charm almost canine. On the other hand, the Switch surprised on two points unsuspected : a, it is a bit heavy in tablet version, significantly more than a first generation iPad – in any case at a guess ; then, its screen, the fine resolution and contrast powerful, does not have to blush in the face of the reference and the PS Vita. A very good point to appreciate the beauty of the landscapes of Zelda for example, even if it was not testable in this configuration. In any case, the comfort for the eyes is incomparable with that of the screen 3DS, and even Wii U.
If the overall finish seemed to be of rather good quality, the case did not, however, the printing object, high-end products Sony, or Apple. Nothing very original side with Nintendo, but at least the console doesn’t ” toy “, contrary to what has been alleged, for example, to the GameCube in the early 2000s.
get started with special
the jack in The hand ? The taken in hand, should we rather say. There are many ways to use the Switch, depending on the game and the situation. In mobile mode, the ergonomics is not very different from that of the Wii U.
mode ” mini “, playing two hands on one of the halves of the controller, the grip is suddenly much more strange, between the tiny buttons, the trigger unused that teases the palm, and the left stick almost located in the center. Ideal if you’re Lilliputian, with four fingers on the left hand and six (two inches) to the right. In the opposite case, a bit of acclimatization will be necessary. The controller ” pro “, as an option, is it as classic as it is effective.
But there are many other configurations, such as mode wheel, with a small steering wheel size car remote controlled, to attach to the micromanette Joy-Con. The concept is similar to that of the Wii for Mario Kart 7, but size XS. In addition, the two Joy-Con can attach together to form a mock controller normal, basic setup for a game like Zelda.
The games, from the most classical to the most strange
there is something to eat and drink. Fifteen titles were presented, the always-epic The Legend of Zelda : The Breath of the Wild in the headline, and many microjeux. The whole gave the impression of an amazing catch-all concepts, from the most classic (racing, fighting, platform, etc) to the strange (a game of co-operation of cutting each other to create shapes, Snipperclips : the perfect pair).

Several games, including the compilation 1-2 Switch, offer a few moments of good laugh (the game of duel face-to-face way western), other nostalgia-assumed (Sonic Mania, the Super Bomberman R), or experiments to widen (the promising fighting game Arms, half Punch-Out, half Wii-Boxing). But not always easy to convince yourself that the compilation of microjeux will be sold for fifty euros, while its contents leaves the impression of a friendly demonstration disk of the Wii Play.
In the state, and here in the month of June, the console seems to mostly present itself as a drive in luxury for a game in particular, The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild, also expected on Wii U. But playing in the most immersive of the Zelda on a screen high-end nomad, this is a plus which many lovers of the saga will not be reluctant not, and we can understand them.
outside of this title, and for the lack of trying Super Mario Odyssey, no title seemed for the moment to justify the general price of the console, € 330, which is similar to the moment a Wii crossed with a Wii U portable and specialized in the multiplayer.
Ironically, the hundreds of thousands of owners of the Wii U are the most penalized, since between a remake enriched (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe), a result very close to (Splatoon 2) and a blockbuster common (The Legend of Zelda : Breath of the Wild), they are for the moment most concerned by the risk of duplicates. But when you love…
