Video Here's How Lego City: Undercover On Switch Compares To The PS4 Version
Not too shabby, to be honest
Lego City: Undercover is the next big Switch retail release, and despite the age of the title it's well worth getting excited about - it was easily one of the stand-out games on the Wii U, horrendous load times notwithstanding. While it was intended to be a Nintendo exclusive Lego City: Undercover also came to the PS4,...

Video Digital Foundry Puts Various Portable Chargers to the Test With Nintendo Switch
Get yourself 10+ hours of gaming on the go
The Nintendo Switch battery, considering its housing within a small portable device and the demands placed on it by the system's processing, isn't too bad.

Video Digital Foundry Highlights the Nintendo Switch Boost in FAST RMX
More than a portable Wii U
With the relative closeness (on a technical level) between the two versions of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, early curiosity around the Switch has focused on how much of a boost it truly offers over Wii U. It's evidently not an enormous leap, but it's not necessarily been fair to characterise it as a portable...

Video Blind Players Hail 1-2-Switch's Accessibility And Inclusivity
"It was the first time he was able to experience a Nintendo game"

Video Punishing Drop Test Reveals The Nintendo Switch Is Tougher Than It Looks
Won't someone think of the Joy-Cons, though?
You'd think that by leaving behind the iconic clamshell design of the DS and 3DS systems the Nintendo Switch would be less suitable as a portable device - after all, a clamshell provides valuable protection when the machine's not in use. However, GizmoSlip has performed a series of drop tests on the new...
