A Nintendo Switch Review from a College Student

Being a college student, especially at FSU Panama City, can often mean you are always on the go. This can limit how much you are able to enjoy the lulls of your day. I was definitely in this position, until recently.

I’ve had almost a full month with my Nintendo Switch, and it has been glorious. For those unaware, the Switch is Nintendo’s newest gaming console that serves both as an in home console and a portable handheld. This idea was exciting, but also caused a lot of skeptics to question how it could work.

I can only speak from my experience, but the Nintendo Switch is the perfect gaming console for a college student. Trying to balance classes, studying, and possibly a job doesn’t give students the opportunity to be able to just sit at home for hours at a time and delve deeply into a game.

With the Switch, however, the game is with you wherever you are. The actual console is smaller than most tablets making it easy to bring with you in whatever bag you happen to take to class. It also has a smooth working interface that allows it to quickly turn on, this enables its user to immediately resume the application that was previously being used.

It is an amazing feeling to be able to have thirty minutes in between classes and know that I can be quickly transported into wonderful video game or my favorite Netflix show. It is also a great that as quickly as I need to I can click the power button on the top and immediately put the device to sleep allowing it to conserve power while also holding onto the exact point I was at.

The switch is a revelation and I could not recommend it more, especially to fellow college students. With even more great games and applications on the horizon I think it is time for all college students to make the switch.
