It\u2019s here! Nintendo\u2019s long-awaited console, viagra approved<\/a> the Switch, for sale<\/a> officially goes on sale Friday, pharmacy<\/a> March 3, but we got our hands on an early review unit. This week, our GearedUp podcast\u00a0goes hands-on with the new console, taking a look at its impressive features, and a few shortcomings.<\/p>\n

We also test out what co-host Andru Edwards<\/a> of Gear Live<\/a> calls \u201cthe best game I\u2019ve ever played,\u201d the new \u201cLegend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild,\u201d which will be released the same day as the Switch.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The Switch is notable not just because it\u2019s Nintendo\u2019s first console after the disappointing Wii U, but also because it is rethinking how game consoles can work. It\u2019s essentially a tablet, which can be docked with\u00a0a TV for living-room gaming or carried around for the same experience on the go.

Join Andru and GeekWire editor Todd Bishop on this episode of GearedUp for a review of the pros and cons, as well as a\u00a0look into the gameplay for Breath of the Wild.<\/p>\n
