The Switch barely edges out the Wii U in screen size, while the 3DS actually has more screen space if you count both of its screens.Īt 398 grams, the Switch weighs less than the Wii U gamepad, even with the Joy-Cons attached, but more than the New 3DS XL. The Switch is also remarkably thinner than the Wii U gamepad. Physically, the Nintendo Switch resembles a high-end version of the Wii U gamepad, substituting plastic for a sturdy frame similar to that of the 3DS. There are obvious visual similarities between all three of these platforms, when played in the palms of your hands, but there are some stark differences.
