The Nintendo Switch is Nintendo's latest home/portable gaming console released on March 3, 2017. It's powered by NVIDIA's Custom Tegra processor(also powers NVIDIA's Shield), has a 6.2-inch 1280x720 LCD Multi-touch capacitive touch screen, 802.11 ac wireless card, Bluetooth 4.1, 3.5mm audio jack, 32GB of internal storage and weighs .66lbs. This is not a typical video game console, it's a truly portable console that you can enjoy from the comfort of your couch or you can take it with you and continue your game wherever you left off. The Switch feels practical; essentially a tablet with attractive controllers attached to both sides of the screen. ~What's Included: The Switch Console, Docking Station, Left & Right Joy-Con Controllers, Two Joy-Con Wrist Straps, Joy-Con Grip Accessory, AC Adapter and a HDMI Cable. There isn't much to the Docking Station, it's made out of plastic and contains a small circuit board inside. The unit offers a HDMI port, AC port, 3 USB ports(one USB 3.0 on the back, two USB 2.0 on the side). The USB ports work for using an external keyboards, charging smart phones, tablets and controllers. One thing that is a disappointment is that the Joy-Con Grip accessory is not able to charge the Joy-Cons, the only way for them to be charged is by attaching them to the Switch console or by picking up a separate Joy-Con Charging Grip for $30. There is also no Ethernet port on the unit at this time. ~Operating System: I've always been a fan of the grid-style operating systems for both the Wii and the Wii U, so I was glad to see Nintendo kept a simliar look for the Switch. The OS is simple and clean, nothing fancy, everything is easy to find and it's very responsive. Switching from app to app is snappy. ~eShop: The Online Shop for the Switch is basic at this point. Each game page describes details such as the Supported Controllers, Required Space, Number of Players and so on. But one addition that's missing—and I hope they patch this—are user ratings. Reviews aren't everything but they can at least let us know if a game is worth passing on. A wish list available as well. Nintendo Switch Online Service will launch this year and will cost $20/year, $4 a month or $8 for a three-month subscription—which is significantly cheaper then both Plus and Gold. What this fee will get you are: Free versions of classic games(Balloon Fight, Dr. Mario, Super Mario Bros. 3, ect. ), Deals on eShop titles, unlimited online multiplayer and online voice chat. The Parental Controls are robust, you can control through an app for your smart phone or directly from the system. You can restrict software based on its rating, prevent online voice chats or social media posts, and also use a PIN to restrict unwanted purchases from the eShop. You can set Play Time Limits and you can be notified when your child exceeds the set play time. You can also choose to suspend the software your child is using if they exceed the allotted time. ~Recording Features: The Switch probably has the best screen capture feature for a console. The instant the capture button is pressed on the controller, a screen shot is taken. You can add and change the color of the text before posting it on Twitter or Facebook( I hope there's an update to Instagram in the future). The resolution of the photos is 1280x720 and it's in JPG format. The Switch is able to record 30 seconds of video by holding the screenshot button for a few seconds, it's not much but a step in the right direction. I'm glad to say there is no HDCP, so if you use a recorder for online playthroughs, you will be able to capture video straight from the HDMI cable. ~Screen/Performance: The Multi-touch Capacitive IPS screen is not glass but plastic(as was the case with the PlayStaion Vita). It's feels and functions no different than a glass screen but while you won't have to worry about the screen shattering if you drop it as you do with your smart phone, it is just more likely to be scratched. So, you will want to get yourself a good screen protector as soon as you pick-up the Switch. Some of the textures come off a bit soft at times but even still, the colors are vibrant, the reflections and lighting effects are impressive and it's plenty bright enough to accommodate a portable gaming experience. Contrast and viewing angle of the screen are impressive as well, from the side you are still able to view the screen clearly. I experienced frame-rate dips during graphically demanding gameplay sections of Zelda: Breath of the Wild but the stutters were sparse and did not become much of a problem during my playthrough. The design of the Switch is a balancing act between: battery life, CPU/GPU power, screen size, weight, temperature and price. With all that said, I think Nintendo was able to find that sweet spot as well as anybody could. ~Sound: The stereo speakers sound crystal clear; with the volume turned up, I haven't experienced any crackling or distortion. They sound great for mobile speakers and they're located on the bottom front of the display. ~Controllers: There are numerous controllers and combinations you can use on the Switch. The wireless controllers are connected via Bluetooth 3.0 and all options have an Accelerometer, Gyroscope and HD Rumble. Additionally, the Right Joy-Con also has a Motion IR Camera on the bottom of it. ~Joy-Cons Attached to the Switch Display~ it's the portable way to play, feels comfortable and it works well. The Joy-Cons are contoured with smooth rounded corners and both the buttons and control sticks are within reach of your thumbs. I do miss the classic Nintendo D-pad but at least it's available on the Pro-Controller. Depending on the type of game being played(whether it's competitive or casual) and how large your hands are, your hands might begin to feel slightly strained after an intense gaming session. I noticed after a good couple games of close Mario Kart 8 races and battle modes that my hands felt cramped but I didn't have this problem playing Breath of the Wild. ~Joy-Cons Attached to the Joy-Con Grip~ This setup works fine for long gaming sessions. While the Joy-Cons are connected to the Grip attachment, there are 8 lights on the face of the controller that represent each player that is connected to the Switch at that time. For instance, if you are player number two, the second indicator from the top will illuminate on the left and right side of the Grip attachment. ~Standalone Joy-Cons~ This setup almost mimics how you would use the Wiimote and Nunchuck from the Wii days. I played Breath of the Wild for an hour using this setup to see how it would hold up in comparison and even though it's not the most ergonomic setup, it does work—and it's not as strenuous as first expected. One con I have with the Joy-Cons is that the + and - buttons are sort of awkward to press with this setup. ~Pro-Controller~ Flip-out the kickstand, sit back and use the Switch as a small TV while you game with the Pro-Controller; I use this setup while I'm waiting for projects to compile. I keep my Switch next to me and play a couple rounds of Mario Kart 8 or complete side missions with Zelda. It's such a quick, satisfying way to game and the Pro-Controller is the best choice for gaming on the system, especially at home. ~Battery: I played Mario Kart 8 for a good two and a half hours straight and I had 7% Battery life remaining. Recharged the Switch, played Zelda and got about 2 hours and 45 minutes before the battery was fully depleted. For games that have a lower graphical demand, the battery life reaches anywhere from 4-6 hours before depletion. You will virtually never have to worry about the battery life of the Joy-Cons, Nintendo advertises approximately 20 hours of battery life. ~Heat: One of the things I noticed while playing the Switch in tablet mode is that it does an impressive job of dissipating heat, the system doesn't feel warm at all and is completely silent. After playing Mario Kart 8 and Zelda: BotW for about a hour each, I temperature tested the rear of the system at 87.2 degrees F, the Joy-Cons at 76.5F, the screen at 84F and the warmest part of the Switch is the top left of the rear where the game card is at 94.3F. ~Memory Expansion: The Switch has an Internal Memory of 32GB but it's expandable with a microSD, microSDHC or microSDXC memory cards of up to 256GB. The slot is easily accessible by raising the bulit-in kickstand. The system prompts you to turn off the system—by holding the power button for 3 seconds. If you plan on purchasing most of your games digitally, then I'd recommend a microSD card of at least 128gb. ~Price: The Nintendo Switch console costs $299.99, which gets you the system, two Joy-Con controllers, a Joy-Con Grip, wrist straps and both a HDMI and AC adapter cable. Additional purchases: Joy-Con Charging Grip(depending on if you want to charge the Joy-Cons while using them as a traditional controller), the Nintendo Pro Wireless Controller(cost $69.99) and expandable memory. ~Overall Thoughts: The Nintendo Switch is something unique. It's not a video game system that will impress you with its top-of-the-line internal specifications; there's no 4K, no TB hard drive, no Blu-ray player. This system's purpose is to deliver a truly portable console experience for people who want play games. When you take that into account, it can't be compared to other traditional consoles. The Switch has stand-out games such as Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8, ARMS, Snipperclips, Splatoon 2, 1-2 Switch. There is something for every type of gamer out there, from Single-player to Competitive online multiplayer. What I like most about Nintendo's new console is the most simple and that's with a single push of the power button the Switch is put to sleep and then no matter where you are—in real life or in-game—you can instantly wake up the Switch and resume right where you left off.

The Nintendo switch is amazing!!! I bought it not too long ago and I use it every single night to play my games. I’m able to play so many old nostalgic games on it that I love so much. Absolutely amazing purchase, would definitely recommend!

I love how portable my Nintendo Switch is to carry around on vacations or to a friend’s house. The games are great to bring friends and families together for parties and to kill time. I bought my Nintendo Switch during Covid. My first ever game on my Nintendo Switch waa animal crossing.

Pros: 1. The battery backup is awesome, I am getting around 6 hours of playtime with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, as has been advertised for version 2. 2. Very superior portability, playing while sleeping in your bed is a luxury I did not expect, can also carry to friends place and the joy con controllers are sufficient for 2 players. 3. Very easy to connect to your tv or monitor, though I have been taking advantage of the big screen in the handheld mode. 4. Motion controls are super responsive and works as intended and advertised. Cons: 1. No support for bluetooth headphones, you either need a bluetooth adapter purchased separately, or use your wired headphones, major downside for something which is designed to be portable. 2. The games are kind of expensive, but you would find sufficient free titles in different genres. Also, a lot of games have free demos that you can download and try before purchasing. 3. Some people might have a problem with the storage, but memory cards solve that easily (additional purchase).

Best Buy Customer Service was top notch! On Christmas Eve I realized the Nintendo Switch I purchased from Amazon wasn’t in good working order I scrambled to find another with very limited time. The BB call center was amazing and located a new Switch a few towns over and secured the transaction once true phone as there was only one in stock. I am so grateful for their diligence and swift solution. I had a very happy little boy on Christmas morning! Thanks again Best Buy, you guys rock!

Amazing gaming system. Its so much fun. Take anywhere options. Download games using internet access or if you dont have internet, there are a lot of game cartridges to buy.

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con: A Gaming Marvel! Versatility Unleashed: The Nintendo Switch system is designed to go wherever you do. It instantly transforms from a home console (connect it to your TV for HD gaming) to a portable system (perfect for travel adventures). And don’t forget tabletop mode—detach the Joy-Con controllers and play even without a TV. Game Library Magic: Super Mario Bros., Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Animal Crossing, The Legend of Zelda—the Switch hosts a galaxy of games. Connect and play together—local co-op, online, or link your systems for multiplayer favorites. Joy-Con Joyride: The included Joy-Con controllers are genius. Play multiplayer games right out of the box—just pass one to a friend. Attach both to the screen for handheld mode or use them as a single controller on the big screen. Motion controls add that extra oomph. OLED Upgrade Worth It: We loved this Switch so much that we eventually upgraded to the OLED version (worth that extra $50, trust me). The vibrant screen, enhanced audio, and material quality. We returned and got the OLED!

Easy to travel with and super fun games! Definitely worth the price!

Great console. Sure, it's not quite as powerful as a Playstation or XBox, but for what it's meant for, it does great. Before I got it I never thought I would ever take it out of its dock and strictly play through the television. Lo and behold, I rarely have it in the dock for anything other than charging. I do have a small amount of buyer's remorse, as I can't think of any reason I would buy a game for the Switch if it is also available for Playstation. As an adult and the only gamer in the house, there aren't many Switch exclusives that catch my interest. Breath of the Wild is the only game I have at the moment and I'm having a hard time finding any other games I wouldn't rather play on a more powerful machine. That being said, Nintendo's IP is the real draw for the Switch, in my opinion. If not for Zelda, I wouldn't have even thought about getting the console. What I like: - Its duality as a traditional and portable console in one small package - mini SD expandable memory. I haven't needed it yet, but I can see myself losing the tiny game cartridges so I will likely opt for downloading games if I expand my library - Cartridges instead of discs allow for much quicker loading times. - Decent battery life compared to DS and Gameboy systems, especially considering the software it's running What I don't care for: - Not a wide variety of exclusive software for more mature gamers - The scale of the controllers. I'm sure it's fine for children, but adults will definitely want to splurge for the Pro Controller. - The design of the dock. It fully encompasses the console when inserted and has nothing to protect the fragile plastic screen from scratching. I can see Nintendo redesigning this aspect at some point, much like they changed the original NES from inserting a cartridge in a covered port to top loading.
