The console’s tiny, light cube shape is repeatedly praised. Reviewers like that it takes little TV-stand space and can be packed for hotels, relatives’ homes, school use, or family gatherings.
Pros: multiplayer experience, build quality
Cons: frame rate performance, play space requirements

Cons: reliability, repairability
