Many appreciate the price point and find the system provides excellent entertainment for the whole family. However, some customers note that the battery life could be improved and that the controllers may be too small for some users.

    Parents and children alike have had a ton of fun on the switch since Santa brought it a couple days ago. Set up is very easy. Not a fan of using the tiny joycons separately, so I got a couple controller grips.

    And we love it for what it has done for us! It has brought friends into our house more often. It has brought our family together more. And we are getting in better shape due to the games we bought with it!

    Love the Nintendo switch! The amount of fun that can be had with the entire family is unmatched! The only complaint that I have is a common one for the switch which is the joycon drift which thankfully Nintendo helps with. Just need to get around to actually sending them off.

    I wrongly assumed I would receive the newer model Switch. I was bummed to receive the older slower model. I will be returning it. FYI HAC-001 = old model, XAW = old model. HAD = newer model.

    Not sure how to review this item yet. Ordered it on black Friday. It showed up today with the box corner damaged. It’s a Christmas present so I can’t really open it to see if it’s damaged or broken yet.

    The Switch is amazing, especially for travel! It also becomes a great at-home console with fun multi-player games like mario kart and super smash bros and Marvel Alliance 3. Recommend getting a pro controller and a travel case. Disappointed in Pokemon though... It felt like every pokemon game for the gameboys and DS's... wish it was more of a "console" feel to it!

    I bought this console for my seven year old son. First off let me say that I love the versatility you get with the switch. I mean I can't just grab my PS4 and walk around the house with it. The controllers are small so if you have fat fingers it will take some getting used to. Overall I think my wife and I enjoy it more that he does.

    I got this bundle on Black Friday, and was hyped to get a game with the console. What I didn't realize at the time of purchase though was that this was the older version of the switch that was sold in this bundle. This was kinda crappy because I didn't expect that the old switch was still gonna be on the shelves by Black Friday, but that is what I get for not doing my research. Love the console itself, and I really only play it in docked mode so this battery life improvement in the new model doesn't really affect me. Just be aware that this is the OLD MODEL.

    Great console for the money. Love that you can take it with you everywhere. The only drawback is that the good games are so stinking expensive, especially if you are buying for kids. Another drawback is that even after the console in general has been out for more than a couple yrs there is still not a very big selection of games.

    Couldn’t be a better game system to bring friends and family together with some great titles. Not to mention the portability of the system. Who doesn’t want to have the ability to grab a beer, the down the kickstand in the switch and race your friends in Mario Kart right at the bar?

    My children love Nintendo and it takes me back to my childhood. This console is amazing easy to use and great games! It came with a free Mario Cart Deluxe 8!!! This was an amazing Christmas present for the family! We’ve had it for 6 months and everything works great!

    I love the Nintendo Switch. It’s perfect for on the go, if you want to play on the big screen or just handheld. The only con is that it doesn’t hold much storage so you MUST buy a SD card but other than that it’s amazing for all ages.

    Great console. Can be mobile or attached to your tv. BE CAREFUL. This combo set (and possibly future sets with a game) come with an early version of the Switch which has the poorer battery lifespan!

    The Nintendo Switch console is a entertainment for the whole family, Fun and easy to play, on the go it’s amazing, Xbox and PS4 have no portability and most of the games are available for the switch as well now.

    My kids, son especially, love their switch. The Mario kart is super fun for them to play and was pretty easy to catch on to. The controllers are hard to hold for my husband because they're small but it's a great family thing to do. The games are expensive. And they're so tiny. That's the downfall we're seeing.
