    What can I say? Nintendo has come up with another awesome innovation in the video game industry with this system that allows you to play it on the go, at home and with other people wirelessly online or via ad hoc...I love it and we had a ball playing Mario Kart 8 on Thanksgiving with family and friends since this was a gift for my 4 year old adopted niece. Definitely worth the price!

    The best Nintendo system ever made! It’s like a gameboy had a baby with the Wii. The system is so smooth and fluid. Everything is fast to load. I love how everything is modular. I bought all the Mario games and Zelda and I am very happy with them. : Cons: my 2 complaints would be that the single controller for playing Mario cart is super small and your hand will cramp after a while. But this can be resolved if you use 2 controllers with the adapter. This is not a big issue for me though. My big issue is that I wish Nintendo spent a little more money on the screen. it is a low res screen for my eyes. Not as clear as I would like.

    Family friendly gaming console

    We recently purchased the Nintendo Switch as an early family Christmas present since most of our family are really into video games. We have had a number of Nintendo gaming consoles in the past and by far the Switch is the most unique and the best all-around gaming console from Nintendo. The small tablet size display is perfect for a single player to use when the TV is being occupied. Then when it is time for family fun it is really easy to "Switch" over to the multiplayer mode using the big screen TV in the living room. Set is really easy and you will be ready to play in just a few minutes and enjoying many hours of family fun.

    I got this Switch and it was so good i got another one. I will warn you. they dont make a case that protects it well. Or the case will work but it wont fit into the docking station. So if you are buying this and you want to protect it you should ask for something that wont prevent you from being able to dock it in the charging station. I recommend getting at least the glass protection. This is a device you do not want to drop. However, it is great play on your tv or as a handheld. Plus you can back it up to the cloud and its easy to use.

    The concept is great. Being able to game on the road or at my TV with ease is a brilliant move. This device delivers on a big promise; and it delivers pretty well. There's definitely a feeling of a rush to market being given off though. They clearly needed a rapid influx of cash to stay solvent. Pushing this device to market was a life raft for Nintendo. They could have waited a couple months and had a newer version of the Nvidia SOC that would have resulted in higher performance and better framerates. Not to mention better battery life, but alas it still seems to have worked out. Also, there's the problem with the left joycons that Nintendo refuses to acknowledge as a design flaw. I sent mine off on Monday afternoon for a repair and had it back by Friday morning. The fix is to enhance the antenna strength by installing a tiny piece of conductive foam on the transmitter's contacts. But at least it works!! So far I've played Zelda BotW and Skylanders...I must admit i've spent a lot more time in Zelda than Skylanders. This game is impressive! It's just a lot of fun and I don't typically go for open world games as they are too time consuming. I've taken to playing the console handheld far more often than on my TV. I seem to just enjoy it more. Plus it's a little easier to hold the controllers at that width for my big hands. The performance and sound have been spectacular. It's no XB1 or PS4, but it's a Nintendo and it's going to have a bunch of 1st party titles that are worth playing. Biggest complaint is the amount of time we have to wait for those new titles. Seriously though...This system is a lot of fun!

    Updated Model is Amazing

    This switch is just like the previous model apart from the fact that it has a bigger battery and for a system that is meant to be versatile and mobile, it is a great addition! The new battery will last 3-5 hours longer than it’s original counterpart resulting in a battery that will last you from 5-10 hours per charge! If you play a lot of Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Smash Bros, the battery will last you plenty! To know that you have the newer model make sure that the box is all red and that the serial number has (-01) at the end!

    Excellent little portable gaming system

    Probably the best gaming system for my lifestyle at this moment. Yes, it could be "more powerful," but it runs games like Zelda and Fast RMX perfectly fine so I really don't have anything against the performance as I've experienced it. And it's VERY well built and engineered. Lots of people are saying there are too many problems with the switch right now, but I haven't experienced anything (no scratches, no dead pixels, nothing). And as far as the games go, no there aren't a ton out right now, but there are a handful that I enjoy. And let's be honest, who really needs 20 games right at launch? By slowly releasing them, those of us that do buy the system can play a game for a little while, and save up for the next release. Yes, I know, not everyone likes every type of games. I only liked maybe 3 of the actual launch games. But I already also know of at least $300 worth of games coming out this year that I want, and they're all pretty much big games, so I have no doubt the only shortage I'll face is with my wallet. I've wanted a system I can take on the go for a while now, (I travel a lot) so this system is absolutely perfect. If you're like me and want something you can easily take with you, then get this. If you have any doubts, luckily you have some time to get over them, since they're pretty much sold out most places at this point, but whether your doubts are with games, or performance, or just the fact that it's Nintendo, I have to say the whole experience with this system feels like a very different Nintendo than during the Wii U era. I look forward to what the future holds for the Switch.
