Whats more, its the perfect pandemic games machine.
Because of this, the Switch is the perfect way to while away these pandemic-stilted days.
Theyre engaging, fun, and they make you solve challenges of puzzles.

But this doesn’t matter, because Nintendo games are all about fun.
Its not just nostalgia that makes these games good.
Control
The other DNA strand that runs through Nintendos history is its innovative controllers.

Right back to the simple NES joypads, Nintendo has reinvented the controller with every new console.
The SNES added shoulder buttons.
The N64 added a trigger and an analog joystick.

The Wii had the motion-sensitive WiiMote.
Now, the Switchs motion-sensitive Joy-Con controllers detach from the main unit.
This lets players use one tiny controller each, or allows one player hold a controller in each hand.
Wiggling, swooshing, and shaking, these separated Joy-Cons bring all kinds of fun control.
Why is this the perfect lockdown combo?
This combination of big screen and motion controls also lets you get physical.
Last, and possibly most important, is that you could play all those old NES and SNES games.
Thats a fine way to go, but playingSuper Mario Worldon the handheld Switch is quite something.
Especially if you pair it withthis SNES-style gamepad.
