Its 854x480 resolution provides a crisp and vivid display, making it the perfect companion for the Wii U’s other unique feature, Off-TV Play. It does come with a stylus which slots neatly into the back of the controller, though, just in case you don’t want to smear your fingers all over it. The screen features the same resistive technology as the 3DS, so it needs a firm tap for your touch to register, rather than the merest brush of more common capacitative screens. Its most unusual feature, though, is its 6.2in touchscreen - which sits in between two clickable analogue sticks, a D-pad, four face buttons, an NFC reader for Nintendo's amiibo figures and two small Start and Select buttons. ^ The tablet-like controller is very clever and lets you interact with the action onscreen in several ways Katherine's original review continues below Combine that with the fact it runs games from the Wii's huge library and there's still a very compelling reason to buy Nintendo's last console, even in 2018. Usuaully available for under £100 and with games going for low prices too, it makes for a great 'first console' – and for local co-op games, it's still hard to beat. That said, while the Switch is hanging on doggedly to its £280 price, the Wii U is very easy to get on the cheap. In short, if you want a Nintendo console, and can afford the extra, the Switch pretty much has the best of both worlds, with a few exceptions (no sign of a Pikmin 3 port yet.) Mario Kart 8, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta 2 have all been ported, while Splatoon has seen a sequel. When I said the legacy lives on, I wasn't kidding: many of the Switch's best-selling games are direct ports of Wii U titles. While the Wii U struggled to capture public imagination, the Switch got off to an incredible start, and has already sold more units after just a year on the shelf. The Wii U is officially dead, but its legacy lives on with the far-better planned and delivered Nintendo Switch.
