Fuckin A' man. Nintendo have always been my third choice of the big three but the Switch has just sucked me in.

 

[Bear]

I'm on board with that call.

 

[Bandage]

They are not wrong.

 

[Deleted member 33412]

Deserved. Outstanding system with outstanding software. Hope EAD keeps up the momentum in the next few years.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

It's #2 on Guardian's list, only behind some imitation Lego robot thing.

[SFLUFAN]

I really don't see how there are other "true" contenders.

 

[Troy1]

Much deserved, it's a neat little system

 

[plagiarize]

Hard to argue with if you consider the software.

 

[CarthOhNoes]

Deserved. Love my Switch!

Nintendo definitely hit it out of the park on this one, kinda amazing considering how badly the Wii U got botched.

 

[Musubi]

Very good piece of hardware. Incredibly impressive that we have tech that is on a higher level of performance than last generation consoles in a tablet form factor already. And its stupidly affordable.

I really don't see how there are other "true" contenders.

Now THAT brings me back!

 

[SpottieO]

Honestly surprised it beat out the iPhone X, props to Ninty because I love mine.

 

[Deleted member 249]

Yup.

 

[Mr. Poolman]

Well it is a fantastic gadget.

 

[Lotus]

Nintendo is just having the best year huh

 

[Funny Valentine]

It's well deserved. I admit I was cynical of the Switch during that long speculation period with all the bullshit rumor-mongering by journos but actually using it in your hands is a great experience.

 

[entremet]

Well deserved. Incredible product.

 

[Phire Phox]

Deserved. Slick device. Really enjoying mine.

 

[Gestault]

Hot-take here, but I can't think of many (any?) products more deserving, in terms of something getting mainstream success in a well-trodden field. The "story" of it is very appealing too, in terms of a Nintendo return-to-form. Hold the thing in your hands with one of its showpiece games, and it feels cool in a very gadgety way.

 

[Aftermath]

It Should be on the Cover with whoever is Times Person of the Year

 

[Coolwhip]

 

[Zalman]

It's probably the best thing I've ever bought

 

[Nisaba]

Deserved. :)
Glad to see they were able to pull off their Switch concept that's captured people's attention in a positive way!

 

[BY2K]

I could swear we had a thread about this one or two weeks ago.

 

[Sqrt]

I really don't see how there are other "true" contenders.

iPhone X?

 

[Nav]

Outstanding.

I wouldn't want to watch the Lakers either.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

Well deserved. It earned it. Wish i could get one.

 

[Mr Pricklefingers]

Nice :) The Switch is cool as heck. It's quickly becoming my favourite Nintendo system.

 

[Soul Skater]

 

[Deleted member 24550]

Every time TIME writes about Nintendo, there's that conspicuous affiliate link underneath it, lol.

But still. Number one is nice. Number two at the Guardian... This thing is going to dominate Christmas.

 

[Charpunk]

Well they are not wrong.

 

[Kill3r7]

Sounds about right.

 

[Oregano]

Well deserved.

 

[falcondoc]

Need more press like this more even more dope X-mas sales

 

[kodax_shc]

Not that time magazine rankings mean anything but the Switch really is the definition of a gadget.

 

[WestEgg]

All according to plan.

 

[meppi64]

Absolutely deserved.
It's been a while since I've been so smitten with a device.

 

[Deleted member 6582]

Compared to some of the stuff on that list, Switch kills it. It's a wonderfully balanced device that succeeds as a console and a handheld, which is extremely hard to pull off.

 

[FreedomFighter]

Seems legit.

How do you embed a tweet?

Select "media" (between "images" and the plus) and paste the twitter link into the prompt.

 

[CloseTalker]

Looking at the other 9 entries, it wasn't a tough battle.

 

[Virtu Al]

Glad that I was there for launch day. So far it has been a blast and it's far from over <3

 

[SundaysBest]
