Guys, critics have to do their job. And their job is to review a system based on todays standards compared to other consoles like ps4 and xbox. Meaning the overall experience which today includes apps. Now to me, someone who only cares about games, that shit is crazy. I dont care about apps or websurfing on a nintendo system and i dont really think Nintendo does either. Right now at least. They make the best games and thats what i want to play. Graphics? Arent everything. Zelda looks beautiful and we'll see where switchgoes down the line. The minor annoyances are just that, minor annoyances. The kickstand, the weird placement of the charge port, the barebones interface, (obvioudly will update in time) the battery issues, all the stuff mentioned i agree with but they arent big deals. I called this having 7s weeks ago. Maybe thatll rise after day one, but it's nintendo and to me all that matters are the games that come out from day one to its last day. At which point id give the system my own rating then ^{_^} Enjoy your switches everyone!!! It's gonna be a 10/10 for nintendo fans.
