The Nintendo Switch Is the Future of Gadget Design

Here are a few of the places I've played Mario Kart in the last two weeks: On the couch. In bed. On the train. In an Uber. On a plane. In a Vegas hotel. At the dog park. In a weirdly long line at Trader Joe's. And, of course, on the toilet, more times than I'm proud of. In every case, all I had to do was whip out my Nintendo Switch, press a button or two, and head off to the animated races. Like most people, I'm a bit late getting my hands on the Switch, the console Nintendo released earlier this year.
