Mario kart!!! My kids and family are having a blast playing this! We all love it! No more bored kids!

This was a gift to my nephew and she loved it, great quality and easy to use

I loved this so much I had to upgrade to the oled version of it. But if you travel alot I recommend the oled!

My son was so excited to get this for Christmas to add to his collection of gaming consoles. This is basically an over-sized tablet with built in joy sticks so it wins on portability but sacrifices computing power as expected. For some silly reason my son decided to buy some graphics heavy games and expected the game-play and frame rate to be equal to that of his PS4 and Xbox. His father also has a switch which he plays daily on his commute to work and (I'm sure after work too but he's an ex so I no longer have to get upset over his videogame habits). Out of all the console systems, this one seems to get the least love from my son until it's family game night (which has sadly regressed from actual board games with me and his grandparents and uncles) to Mariokart or similar classic racing or basic games in front of the TV. I much rather prefer the board games but my kid's shrinking attention span requires flashy colors and a screen with buttons to press plus all the adrenaline and dopamine rush he gets from winning ( or dying and getting another redo). Anyway, this is excellent for potable gaming but maybe not the best choice if you want to launch a videogame streaming career or plan to win the next gaming competition.

Love the Nintendo switch. My kids and myself get to play and I love it!

Very fun device! East to travel with, great to keep your kids entertained while on a trip!

Best game ever my step daughter love it , i got it for her on Christmas

This was a great gift for an adult. We are able to play games together and it is very nostalgic.

My daughter can take the fun anywhere , excellent device for everybody.

I love having a portable console!!! I take it on work trips, I take it on family trips, I play at home on my couch, I play at home with the family, I play in the car with the family, we play at Grandma's house as a family. It's been AMAZING!!!

Very good! I got it after swapping for one and it works perfectly!

My household is full of Nintendo fanboys, but we know the Wii wasn't a smash hit. We liked the Wii U, but LOVE the Switch! You can play it as a console or a handheld and who couldn't use the versatility of that?! We bought one of each controllers and like them all. No it can't do fancy tricks like the PS4 and doesn't have a ton of storage, but the versatility makes up for that in my opinion. No longer must everyone suffer through watching my kindergartener play the same level of Skylanders repeatedly, or my husband exploring the endless world of Zelda. With the Switch, when we want to watch tv all you do is take the handheld out of the cartridge and continue playing without missing a beat, and Tada! the tv is free! Also, the whole system can be packed up and taken to grandma's or on vacation. Don't forget the perk of being able to play Nintendo exclusive games! The game cartridges are tiny much like the DS so they also are very portable, especially if you buy a carrying case. My only negative critique is that in true Nintendo style, there are limited games on release. We lucked out that the two we were most excited about came out first, Zelda and Imaginators, but we can't wait for some other releases!

After 5 long months of searching, I finally copped the Switch and I couldn’t be more happy. I haven’t had a game system since I was a kid, so I have been extremely satisfied with playing the Switch.

This console works amazing as both a traditional console as well as a handheld. I enjoy being able to be right in the middle of a game and just pull the Switch out of the dock and continue playing. Very well designed UI and very responsive.

The switch is a great gaming console because of its portability. Unfortunately I think I left my original one in a hotel room so I had to buy a second unit. Very happy, would highly recommend this gaming system.

I was finally able to get the Switch after months of trying to order it everywhere. The system was easy to setup and the games are great. Definitely a must have. Do not hesitate to get yourself one!

This was a gift for my grandson. He loves it so much.

The switch provides entertainment for everyone in the family. We each have our own games that we like Or help each other with another game. I love this system as you can play it on the go or on the big screen.

Nothing much to say about the Switch other than it's a great system. The newer model has some upgrades like a better screen and longer battery life, so it's definitely worthwhile to pick this up over the older model.

Nintendo has always been an innovator when it comes to video game systems, and the Nintendo Switch is no exception. The Switch has several great features going for it. While not as powerful as the Playstation 4 or Xbox One, the Switch is still more than powerful enough to output great video quality. When in hand-held (mobile) mode, the Switch runs at 720p. When docked, the Switch can reach up to 1080p. Notice I said up to. Not all games run at 1080. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for example, runs at 900p. Don't let this minor dip in resolution deter you from playing on the Switch, however. The average user will not notice any hit to the visual quality of the games. If I had not read about the resolution, I would have thought it was 1080p quality. Like any new game system, the game library is small. This is not enough to dock points from the review, however. Zelda is such a great game to keep players occupied for a while until new games are released. Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Super Street Fighter, Mario Oddsey, and many other great games are soon to come. The portability of the Switch is my favorite feature of the system. It offers players the ability to take the fun with them on the go. Games can be played on your big screen when the system is placed in the Switch docking station. The docking station even charges your system. When removed from the dock, the system can play games on the Switch's large screen. The screen is larger than that of the Nintendo 3DS XL screens, and the 720p resolution is more than enough to deliver amazing image quality. The one minor flaw with the system is that it fits a bit snug when placed in the docking station. There are some rubber grips inside the dock that hold the Switch game system in place. While it may not seem like a big deal at first, over time docking and undocking the system will smudge (and possibly scratch) the screen of the Switch. Some easy and cheap solutions to resolve this issue are to 1) buy a glass screen protector for the Switch screen, or 2) buy a felt slip-cover to place over the wall of the docking station to prevent rubbing by the Switch. Although this is a minor annoyance, once you install the above mentioned solution, the issue will no longer be of concern. In closing, I think that the Switch is a great system and I see myself using it as my primary game system. I'll still use the PS4 and Xbox One, but the portability and game library are what will keep me playing. It's great for road trips and playing at home.
