Love my Nintendo switch…………………//…………………………………):)$:$$:!

I waited so long to get a switch and I shouldn't have. I travel a lot and this is great to have on the road to be able to play some of my favorite games. Its easy to hook up to your tv and the battery life is great as well

I've really needed a console like this. I don't have time to devote an entire weekend to a game and when I do have time I'm usually traveling. For me games have to be something I can put down for a day or 2 and pick back up right where I left off and take with me. Portables like the Vita and 3DS were really the only way to do that and play any kind of decent games (lets face it, the app store and play store are never going to have quality games when everything is competing at a $2-$3 price point and/or are full of ads and in-app purchases.) Portables just aren't ergonomic though and power-wise they've been pretty limited. Well, the Switch fills that gap in spectacular fashion. Pros: Ergonomics. Like all Nintendo consoles since the Wii you get your choice of a variety of control schemes but they've never been this seamless or as functional as the Joycons. The fact that I can take them off in portable mode and sit back in an airplane seat or lay down in bed with the screen in a phone holder over me is awesome. Load times: Solid state flash is back for game media (finally!) and it makes things snappy. There's no install time and running the game off physical media is as fast, if not faster, than running a downloaded game off a SATA hard drive. Interface: In keeping with the load times the interface is as clean and snappy as any good android or iOS tablet and the UI is as direct and intuitive as it gets. This is a huge improvement over the Wii U and Sony and Microsoft would do well to take note. Build quality: Nintendo finally ditched the shiny kiddie plastic feel and made something that feels like an adult device and is marketed to, adults. Cons: No apps or browser (yet?): I'm sure this is coming and they hint at it in the interface but presently there's no netflix, hulu, etc. This is obviously a change that can be made over the air and I have several other devices that also do streaming. I probably wouldn't use a broweser even if it had one since my phone's browser is going to be better and have all my favorites already. The kickstand is a bit too far to the right: unfortunately this means the switch doesn't stand up well on soft or curved surfaces and you'll have to jerry rig something or, perhaps, get a case or stand for it. I don't know if those are coming. It is a unique problem to have among consoles though. Null: These are things that I'm either ambivalent about or cancel themselves out. Games: right now, breath of the wild is an amazing game, it's spectacular. Unfortunately there's not much else out yet. Bomberman, perhaps. There's a lot of stuff coming but at the moment we're kind of just waiting.

I absolutely love this gaming system! I'm so glad I was able to get it at a great price during the Black Friday sale. I was able to order it online and pick it up through Best Buy's curbside pickup.

Haven't had any problems with this item! Thinking about getting another one!

Never had any issues! Great quality. Durable. It was a birthday gift for my son.

Tons of fun! So glad I purchased for my son. It's been a family night hit!

This video game system is perfect for my 3 boys!! Fun for the whole family

Owning all the major platforms I can say that I was totally surprised at how wrong I was about the Switch. The Switch, in essence, is the "Un-Console" of the Big Three. In no way will it compare to the latest offerings from Xbox or PlayStation, it does best complimenting those consoles. Zelda is a masterpiece, and more great games will be coming. As a main console, it's harder to recommend due to a lack of features and games. As a second or third console, it's truly amazing. It's so nice to be able to take the console with you -- even if that is just to a different room in your house.

Nintendo really did a good job innovating with this console. It’s small, portable, packs a punch, and some games can even support 8 players.

Playing full sized Pc quality games in a portable console. The convenience beats everything. Best gaming purchase ever. Only con is the price is little steep for the hardware. Overall it is a great package

Good console for on the go, but if you play on pc, PlayStation or Xbox you’ll find yourself wanting more from the graphics. 720p 30FPS in 2023 is just not up to par anymore. Take it on the go and it shines, you can bring some excellent games anywhere.

I bought this for my son and it was everything we ecpected! He loves it and has a great time playing it. I love the Just Dance 2020 game because you can connect it to the TV and they get some exercise while having fun.

I really like the console, I like how portable it is.

Such a great step up from playing on my 3DS XL for the longest time. Everything about this product is great, and I highly recommend grabbing one as soon as possible whenever it pops back up on the website.

I deliberated a lot in purchasing this new console being that I already had a ps4 with many games. I made the purchase for my love of Mario kart and this game and console certainly did not disappoint. Its multifaceted capabilities are fantastic. I never notice the difference with the onscreen graphics quality to the handheld quality. The unconventional controllers are new, innovative and a pleasure to use; the lack of attachment to the standard remote is a pivotal design for gaming systems and is a joy to use. Only downside is when playing two player the joycons feel small and your hand begins to cramp up regularly. It has become my homes hot commodity and is used frequently when company is over. I have just purchased Zelda breath of the wild and I’ve only become more hooked. If you’re hesitant in purchasing, take the leap and buy it. You won’t regret it.

So easy and convenient wish there were better games in the App Store and more free games but overall love the switch. Perfect substitute to a phone or tablet on the go but also great at home to plug into tv

My Daughter loves this thing. Uses it for road trips or just playing games around the house.

Haven't opened this one yet, it's a Christmas present. But my son has played it before and he loves it. I'm just glad i was able to get one since they've been out of stock everywhere for quite some time.

Grandchildren love these. Gi es them stuff to do i steaf of getting into trouble, easy to travel with.
