    I was not expecting much when I decided to try out the Nintendo Switch. In my mind Nintendo was trying something "new" like they have with their last few generations of consoles. I am glad to say that this time it really paid off. They did really well with the seemlessly switching between the bigscreen and the screen on the tablet for on the go play. The graphics are also very stunning from what I saw while playing Breathe of the Wild and 1 2 Switch. Which brings me to my next point, though the console does everything it says it does very well, the Joy-cons, don't worry they do everything they said they would do, are a little awkward to use. Even with the nice dock that you can use while playing on the big screen is a little awkward. Some of the buttons, specifically the + and - buttons are to close to other buttons or sticks and make them awkward to hit, or you hit the wrong button frequently. On top of that I don't know if many game developers will actually incorporate some of the gimicks of the Joy-Con. I mean the HD rumble sticks in the controllers were really cool when they were use in 1 2 Switch, but I can't really see many developers having a use for them, though this is just purely speculation. Finally the Joy-Cons have a single fault in my opinion. They must have an unobscured line of sight to the switch console or they will stop responding properly. There were various times where I had my feet up or my knee blocking the controllers direct path, because who doesn't like to get comfy while playing a game, and the joy-con stopped responding to my inputs or continues with my last input. This caused me to walk off of a few cliffs as well as die to a couple of moblins, but this also isn't the worst thing in the world either. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing the Switch, and like I said I really was not expecting the machine that I got to play.

    Been thinking about getting this item since it first came out. This purchase was made for my son, but my wife and I play it as well. Great games and the fact that it can travel with you is a plus.

    The best benefit of the Nintendo Switch is you can play it on a TV or portable. $300 seems a fair price. Kids love them because you have a lot of Mario Bros. games.

    This is an amazing system. The freedom to play on your living room TV, laying in bed, or out and about is amazing. Great games, especially if you are into retro gaming. Plus the Nintendo staples.

    There's just something about Nintendo systems. I'm a PC gamer, through and through, but every generation I find myself buying the latest Nintendo system for when I get bored of Dota 2. The Switch may be Nintendo's greatest console yet. I grew up in the heyday of the SNES/N64, and have grown up with Nintendo. However, this is the first time that the "full system" has combined with the "handheld" in such an excellent way. It's obvious that this is what Nintendo was trying for with the Wii U, but now they've actually executed it as only Nintendo can. I've taken my Switch on several trips (planes, trains, and automobiles). I really can't think of any complaints about this system.

    Best device for my 5 year old. She playes all of the Mario games and it’s convenient she can dock to play on her tv when she wants. It’s very easy for her to use, and convenient for us that it’s passcode protected so she can’t play past a certain time.

    If you’re on the fence about getting a Switch, don’t hesitate. I got one of these for my family and it’s been a blast. All the games we have are super fun and run smoothly. I personally enjoy the ability to dock and undock and take it with me wherever I go. I went for the newest model because I read it has improved battery. I’m looking forward to having this for a long time and expanding my collection.

    Bought this gaming system as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend's son. It's the newer version with the extended battery life, and he loves it. Make sure to look up if you're purchasing the older or newer version of this system because it's not that obvious. Best Buy will offer Super Mario Bros Smash (a very popular game) as an incentive to buy the older version. But there's no writing on the box to say it's the older version. I believe the newer version is the one with the red box. Also, got this game system and a game delivered to my home. Delivery came on time with no issues. I loved it! Thanks!

    Nintendo makes fun. This condole is the best thing from them since the N64, 24 years ago. Buy one of these when you can. It's special. You won't regret it.

    We recently purchased this console to be used by our 4 year old while we were on a cross country road trip. Thank God we were able to order this console and have it arrive a day before we left for our trip! What was supposed to be a week long trip turned into almost 3 weeks due to mechanical issues and transmission problems. This device kept our little one occupied and entertained while we were stressing out and trying to get our mechanical issues fixed. It definitely helped us keep our sanity and made the trip a bit easier for our son. Well done Nintendo! :)
