    It took my wife and I forever to find but finally nabbed one at Best Buy. The setup was easy. We did have a bit of problem connecting a separate remote but that was more operator error. Glad we got it.

    As of this review being over 4 weeks since it was released, if you actively follow and enjoy Nintendo's products and you want a quick an easy way to play both on the go or at home, the Switch does just that exceedingly well. I have been able to take this with me on my travels and the battery would last me almost all the way to my destination (the trip being around 4-5 hours in total). Of course this varies based on what game you play but I purchased myself a portable battery to go along and this only adds more to the great experience I have had. Not to mention the titles that are currently out for the system, I have yet to put the console down. In terms of other software, that is where the Switch is lacking. There is no internet browser, no applications such as Youtube and Netflix, and in terms of games, no Virtual console. These are, while not to some people, rather important things to have for the general market and Nintendo has already put out a statement that these features will be added later so take that as you will. Overall, a great console recovery from the commercial failure that was the WiiU. Great library so far and soon to come. I personally haven't had any issues with my console like others have, but neither should any of the new shipments coming in soon.

    This is the first Nintendo console I have bought since the N64 and let me tell you it is worth it. The functionality of it is the selling point for me. I can take it anywhere to play. I am not a Nintendo fan boy but this console is nothing short of awesome.

    This is a great idea for a system. My son loves it and secretly I do to. Lol.. It is great that it can go portable so effortlessly! The games are great. The only downfall is the money you have to spend on everything from the system to controllers to games.

    I have been a Nintendo fan for almost my entire life. I really disappointed with the Wii U, but Nintendo has exceeded my expectations with the Switch. The games are top class, the hardware works well and the portability is great for people who travel often.

    Very fun and easy to play. Would recommend d buying another controller to make things easier. Joy cons are good when mobile but not the best when used as single controller. Looking to build game collection to play more.
