    I like it a lot and setting it up wasn’t difficult. If you play Fornite it will take up a lot of your storage.

    Great product! It is portable and can be docked and plugged into the television. It looks like there are more games coming out for it too. I wasn't sure that would happen and why I waited to buy this. Highly recommend this gaming console.

    8-bit NES was my first console - purchased w/ paper route money when I was 14. Over the years Nintendo has been hit or miss with me (and many others) when it's come to their "innovations", but so far the switch is a total hit. I *usually* get to game on the TV, but if someone else in the house wants to watch something, I can take it out of the cradle and play elsewhere. The built-in screen is large enough that even my middle-aged, computer-squinter eyes can make everything out fine. Usually, Nintendo's game selection on a new console is *terrible* for at least the first year, but I was pleased to find several games I looked forward to playing were available at or soon after launch. (Must. Resist. Buying. Skyrim. *AGAIN*.) The only negative thing I could really say is with regard the construction of the console itself - the kickstand feels like it could snap off pretty easily (which is extra scary, since it doubles as the memory expansion slot cover!), but aside from that I've got zero complaints.

    This is a really smart and neat little console, and at a great. I haven't owned a Nintendo since N64 (I play other consoles). My girlfriend wanted to play games with me so we got this. Im really impressed with the ease of portability and that you can play as a portable or connected to a TV. And Nintendo online offers a ton of features and nostalgic downloads for a reasonable price, as well.

    Finally got this for our son. When absolutely loves it. He can connect it to his TV or take it on the go. Now long car rides are more enjoyable for him. Lots of games to choose from and we just download them right onto his switch.

    This was a great find. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get this before Christmas as it was sold out everywhere else. I had no issues getting this item. My only issue was that the employee lifted it out of the non descript packaging when bringing it to my car and it was a gift for my son, who was in the car! Ugh! But I was able to come up with an excuse so that he did not know it was for him. The device was in perfect condition and I love the portability and ease of set up. I don't mind having to repurchase games for different consoles, I just wish the gaming community had a way to save progress on an account for a particular game and use that progress across consoles. I hate that you have to start over when using familiar games on a different gaming system. One can only dream!

    I can’t say enough about how much fun the Nintendo Switch is, my kids and I love playing different games at home, and on the go. My son was able to take Let’s Go Evee with him while we went grocery shopping, took long trips on the road, or anytime he wanted to play with his friends; completed the game in under a week. I was able to play Let’s Go Pikachu at home on the TV while he was at school, the switch makes playing game so easy, and fun. I can make dinner and bring the game with me, the removable controllers allows me to play while cooking, cleaning, and even while taking a bath. That’s so dope. Bubble baths have been so much fun since buying the console. Zelda, Pokémon, and Animal Crossing are great games, paired with the Switch makes me think what else Nintendo can come up with next.

    It took forever and a day to finally be able to purchase the Nintendo Switch since it kept swapping between being in stock and being out of stock, but it was well-worth it. It connects and disconnects to a TV with ease, the battery life of the Joy-Cons is admirable, and the sturdiness of the console itself is very nice. The ability to have multiple user profiles (up to 8) is very nice, making it possible for multiple people to share the console with ease. The Joy-Cons make it possible for two people to play most multiplayer games without having to purchase additional controllers. The dock makes it possible to connect and disconnect from the TV with ease, meaning no more bickering over who gets to play Zelda and who gets to watch Netflix. All in all, exactly the console I needed, even if purchasing it is a struggle.

    In my opinion the Nintendo Switch is the best gaming system on the market. There are so many amazing games available for it and it is incredible that you can play the switch in three different formats, handheld, on the screen provided or on a tv.

    A Revolutionary Console, Nintendo is Back.

    I haven't been a "gamer" for many years. Aside from an Xbox One S which I use primarily as a Hulu/Netflix machine (and occasionally play NBA 2K or Madden on when I have guests over), I haven't purchased a console in nearly a decade. I impulsively purchased the Switch after hearing much fanfare. I was initially skeptical of the power that a hybrid console could provide, and whether the Switch would flop like the Wii U. Fortunately, I was wrong. When docked, the Switch is an absolute powerhouse. Games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey are visually stunning in 1080p and 60fps and will make your inner-child smile. Although the quality of the games drops to 720p and 59fps when in portable mode, they still look and feel fantastic. Even graphically demanding titles like Fortnite render quite nicely. The novelty of being able to just pick up your console from its dock and take it on the go has yet to wear off. Another innovation is the Switch's Joy-Con controllers, which makes multiplayer gaming a literal snap. This is a welcome addition if you've ever undergone the expenditure of buying peripherals for Nintendo's competitors. The two drawbacks of this console are its battery life and a barebones operating system. Although the Switch is portable, this isn't your Gameboy Advance of yesteryear. Battery life is pretty bad, and games like Fortnite or Doom can drain your battery in as little as 90-120 minutes. If you are buying this console for a long commute or because you frequently travel for work, be prepared to invest in a specialized portable charger. As for the operating system, it doesn't have any apps like Netflix or Hulu. These drawbacks are arguably minor and will probably be solved in future software/hardware iterations. As a gaming console, the Switch is a breath of fresh air in a space where innovation has been lacking for some time. Nintendo managed to produce something which intersects fun and power unseen since the release of the Gamecube nearly 20 years ago. Nintendo is back.

    I love this system, it is so easy to use and the battery life is great. I would recommend this system to anyone that asked about it. Most of the games are amazing on the screen and some need the tv, but overall it is perfect.
