We’ve had the Nintendo Switch here in Ars’ orbiting HQ for a few days now, information pills and while we’re still working on a more thorough review ahead of launch, we’re now able to share some initial impressions of the final retail system to add to our hands-on time from last month.

So far, testing out the Switch has exclusively meant playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the only one of nine confirmed launch games we have our hands on as of yet. Any significant non-gaming or online functions are tied to a “Day One” system update that likely won’t be available in time for pre-launch reviews. Further thoughts on the experience of motion controlled games (like 1-2-Switch), or games that support individual Joy-Cons held horizontally (like Super Bomberman R) will also have to wait.
