This has been a good addition to our home. We skipped the WiiU and like the versatility of this. My family is big into Pokémon and with the GO, they have liked this. The Mario Kart is a download code, and turn into a little hassle because the paper they use to scratch off was so thin we couldn't read it. Took about a week to get a new code. We like going from hand held mode to on the tv, with just a drop into the stand. We were really excited to find out about just buying a simple cable and we use our Gamecube controllers and didn't have to buy a bunch of new ones.

Great console. Easy to use. If you’re not into the smaller controllers like me, the bigger ones are available and just as good.

I received the Nintendo Switch as a gift from my fiancé so I wouldn’t get bored at home. As soon as you take this product out of the box it was easy to set up the system, easy to download more games on to the Nintendo Switch with out going to a game store to purchase games, and if you haven’t had a new game system in a while from Nintendo brand its simply just bring back memories of my first Nintendo experience in the 90s.

Played with the sample at the store and loved it! I love the selection of games for it and that it’s portable too. We bought it for our son for Christmas and can’t wait to see his reaction when he opens it!

I wish we would have bought one of these a long time ago. I love that you can take it with you on the go and play it on the tv as well. Only downside is the need for an additional micro sd card.

We were travelling for the holidays and wanted a portable gaming device. We've always been interested in the Switch but hadn't been able to justify buying until now. Mario Kart 8 is fun.

Nintendo games are nostalgic for me, so getting a switch was an easy decision. Super fun games, classic and new, and the device is portable!
I was disappointed that the hardware seems to be lacking still. For the price, I’d expect it to easily pair with Bluetooth headphones. Unfortunately, I needed to buy a third party device that hooks on the Switch, and only then can I use my AirPods. Also, the Joy cons don’t feel as sturdy as they should be, which is probably why so many people have had issues.
Otherwise, I’m still happy with the purchase. Can also hook up to your TV and have two remotes using the Joy cons.

It was my Christmas gift for my 10 years old grandson again. I bought one before last October as his early Christmas gift but someone stolen to his mom car. I can feel his disappointment when he play with his friend using his cellphone while his friend was using Nintendo switch. He was elated when he got this as Christmas gift.
Easy to install and play with it.

This was purchased as a Christmas gift as a family gift and we have all thoroughly enjoyed it. It brings my kids “out of the dungeon” (aka their bedrooms) and allow us all to interact with one another, play and have a good time. Perfect price point when you score a Black Friday deal - we are pleased as always.
We did almost throw away the code for the game because it was on a tiny slip of paper stuck to the side of the box, so beware if yours comes with a game included it’s a code and you have to download it. We thought the game may come already downloaded to the unit but it doesn’t. Good thing I saved the box and we found the slip!

I got this for my husband for Christmas last year, and it's been great. I kind of hate playing video games, but having things that are active (like Just Dance) ensure there are games that appeal to both of us. We only have one TV, so we both love that it can disconnect, so he can still play, but I don't have to just watch.

I just bough this game console for my kids and is a really good investment, they loved it, really easy to use and to setup, console came with a pre loaded game, mario kart 8 and my kids really like this game,the only downside is that game are not that cheap, for this kind of games I would expect games to be cheaper that the other consoles or pc.
