Since its 2017 launch, the Nintendo Switch has undoubtedly made some waves in the world of tech – combining both portability and console-quality power into one package. Gaming fans around the world have since felt its impact on the landscape, and it looks like mainstream news outlets can’t help but agree as well!
TIME Magazine has named the console as one of ‘The 10 Best Gadgets of the 2010s‘ – alongside devices like the Xbox Adaptive Controller, iPad, and more. Here’s what they had to say about the hybrid gaming device:
“When it comes to gaming on the go, no one can top Nintendo’s track record, beginning with the humble Game Boy in 1989. But the introduction of its hybrid Nintendo Switch in 2017 — which you can play either portably or connected to your TV — might be the company’s most important contribution to gaming yet.
Compared to the competition, it handily takes the crown as the most important video game console of the decade, with fans begging developers to bring their next title to the Switch. Its smartphone-inspired portability, paired with Nintendo’s ever-growing library of blockbuster, independent and vintage titles, makes the Switch feel like the culmination of Nintendo’s idea of what gaming should be.”
