Ever since the gaming industry began, video games have become a passion for many people in the world. It is easy to see why they are so popular – the worlds and stories that developers manage to craft are incredible, and the fact that the player is put in control of this and given free rein to do whatever they want is a freeing feeling. Of course, there are other sources of entertainment that some people might prefer. Gambling is one of these as people who play at non-gamstop casinos and other options enjoy the feeling of winning money. However, there is no doubt that when it comes to the entertainment sector, gaming is king.

Nintendo’s monopoly

Those who have been into gaming for a long time will know that when it comes to handheld gaming, Nintendo, a gaming company from Japan, is the best in the business. While Xbox and PlayStation have captured the video game console demographic, Nintendo has firmly secured the hearts of gamers who prefer to game on the grow. This is the result of decades of carefully cultivated game universes that gamers have grown up with and become attached to, but it is also in the way that their games are designed. They are made with the idea of being able to play them on the go, which is why Nintendo managed to see off the PlayStation Vita when it emerged as a rival.

Along comes the Switch

Before the release of the Nintendo Switch, the newest console from the Japanese company, Nintendo was in a sticky situation. Its previous console, the Wii U, was not much of a success and failed to live up to its predecessor, the Wii. Given this, Nintendo took the strengths of the Wii U and came up with the Switch, a hybrid console that can act as both a portable system as well as a dedicated home video game console. Nothing like it had been seen before, and to say that it changed the landscape of the gaming industry is an understatement. It completely transformed it in that those who had never owned a Nintendo system before were now actively trying to purchase one, thanks to the benefits it provides.

Why do people enjoy the Switch?

Those who get to use a Switch for at least a few days will immediately appreciate how much meticulous design has gone into planning this system. Everything just works – it is tactile, responsive and suited to a wide range of scenarios. People can plug it into the dock and play games on their TV screen or use just the device itself in tabletop or handheld mode. The easily detachable Joy-Cons make this a fun experience to ‘Switch’ modes too.

With the Switch, Nintendo finally used technology that could run the games that are typically designed for consoles. In this way, gamers soon found that the Switch allowed them to take their favourite games such as Skyrim or The Witcher on the go; this is something that could never have been anticipated.

There is no doubt that the switch changed the landscape of gaming forever through its wonderful utility as well as the ability to play some of the best games that historically could only be played on a dedicated home video game console or a PC.
