Beyond Zelda: The first month of Switch games acts as a promising crystal ball

Enlarge / So many Switch games to play that Zelda: Breath of the Wild has been relegated to the bottom of my bin. (Insane, I know.)

We've had a lot-a lot, lot, lot-to say about the new Nintendo Switch game system this past month. But if you are keeping score, you may notice that we haven't reviewed many games for the home-portable hybrid console.

That's no small gap in coverage, because as we've reported, the portable touchscreen device currently can't do most of the things you would expect from a modern portable touchscreen device. It has no Web browser; no streaming-media apps; no messaging service; and no cute, Nintendo-styled systems like Miiverse or Streetpass. Until Nintendo issues a substantial patch, the Switch is games or bust.
