Reasons you should buy a Nintendo Switch instead of a PlayStation 4 or an Xbox One in 2019

"Super Mario Odyssey" is the best Mario game in years, and it's available only on the Nintendo Switch. 

•  Nintendo's Switch is a major hit and, just under two years in, it's already got a ton of great games.
• If you want to play the best new Mario and "Legend of Zelda" games in years, there's only one console: the Switch.
• Between the system being a delight to use and its killer lineup of games, there are more reasons than ever to buy a Switch over the competition's consoles.

Nintendo is on a roll with no end in sight.

The company's latest big game - "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" - received near-universal praise, and the Nintendo Switch continues to sell extremely well.

There's a good reason for that: The Nintendo Switch is the best console to buy. Here's why!

"Super Mario Odyssey" has an average score of 97/100 on Metacritic, putting it among the 10 highest-rated games.

It's highly rated because it's an outrageously good game, full of delight and surprise around every turn. "Odyssey" is the latest example of Nintendo's approach to major games of late: Take classic franchises and evolve them to new heights.

It's hard to overstate the quality of "Super Mario Odyssey"; it's clever, and massive, and beautiful, and deeply referential, and so much more. It is, frankly put, one of the best Nintendo games of the past decade - perhaps of all time.
