In addition, we’ve compiled Amazon links for available launch games, which might be cheaper than the console marketplace.

Games Editor Brett Phipps has spent nearly every waking moment reviewing the Nintendo Switch lately, and here’s what he has to say so far:

“I think the Switch is off to a very impressive start. It’s a nifty machine with great build quality, but being unable to comment on the screen’s resolution with reference to games and UI without the day-one update and significant online access leaves my hands a little tied.”

He also adored The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, describing it as the “greatest game of all time” in his review.

“If there’s a better game out there than Breath of the Wild, I haven’t played it. Nintendo has created, for me, the greatest game of all time. It’s everything I want from a game and one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had.”
