After going to the Nintendo Switch event in Tokyo, I’ve had some time to mull over what I think makes the console stand out from its competition. Over a decade ago now, I originally thought the PSP would succeed over the Nintendo DS. This is why I think the Joy-Cons are by far the most important aspect to the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch then is something that could succeed in a similar way and, again, it’s all down to what you can do with a game and the Joy-Cons are the crux of that. Not only do they have the potential to make the Switch a more social gaming hub, the Joy-Cons facilitate traditional console gaming input as well.
