John Cena releases his own impression of the Nintendo Switch

Earlier this month is was revealed that the WWE star John Cena has partnered up with Nintendo to help demo the Nintendo Switch. As part of the partnership, Cena has attended Switch events and played a number of 1-2-Switch mini-games with attendees.

Cena will be attending his last Switch event this Friday in New York, but before the partnership ends Cena spared some nice words for the Switch. Basically, out of all the Nintendo Switch previews, there's only one opinion that really matters, your own John Cena's.

(Well, considering he's working with Nintendo… He could just be a shill!)

Here's what Cena said to Sports Illustrated when asked about the console:

“I’m floored by the technology of the Switch, and the versatility of the console is second to none. It really is a home console that you can take anywhere. I’ve seen situations where home consoles can be transported, and it’s like a big over-the-shoulder carry-on bag, but the versatility of this thing is groundbreaking. When you undock the Switch from its home console and go into handheld, the controller feels the same, it is the same, and it reacts the same. The screen on the undocked handheld system is big enough to be its own world but small enough to carry anywhere.

“I was in this confined living room space where you got lost in the game ‘cause I’m playing on this 60-inch TV, and then you undock and continue to play the game. They had this molecular glass, which dropped and revealed I was in the middle of the desert. I never once knew the change in environment. It’s truly, truly tremendous. In typical Nintendo fashion, I was playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Now I haven’t played Legend of Zelda since the gold cartridge eight-bit versions, so I just needed to pick up and start going, and I did. The go-anywhere aspect of the game is incredible, and I know for fans of the Zelda franchise, they’re going to flip. I know for fans of Nintendo, they’re going to go crazy. Everyone is speculating about how good the game actually is—it’s going to exceed expectations and, for a dude like me, a 40-year-old [in April] who hasn’t played Zelda since the gold cartridge, I sat down and was hooked. In a matter of 30-minutes, I didn’t want to put it down.”

The Nintendo Switch will release on Friday, March 3rd at the price of $299.99 with high praise from John Cena.
