The surprise of our grandson getting his own Nintendo switch was a hit. Couldn't go wrong with this for a six year old

Switched up from the switch lite back to the normal switch. Why? Screen size! I missed the screen size immensely playing my fav game of nba 2k! You dont realize the little extra you get vs the lite makes a world of diffrence. Screen looks amazing runs flawlessly and comfortable in your hands. Seemlessly connects to wifi and now a uodate makes it bluetooth compatible with wireless headphones. Amazing games to play on this switch and i use it 90% handheld but nice have option to put on tv. Battery life on this is outstanding way better then first model and then the lite. I can actually play graphic heavy games and not feel like i need to have a cord by me after a few hours. Why didnt i just wait for oled model? 1. Most oled screens ive ever had got burn in. 2. This "old" model has the better larger battery that the new oled model will have but that fancy screen will def drain it faster so your essentially going to swap a fancier screen thats only better in handheld mode for worse battery life. 3. I didnt want a handheld to be partially white as itll easily show wear and dirt. 4. Its even more expensive by 50 bucks and didnt see the value in paying almost 400 bucks and the fact you prob wont get hands on one anytime soon unless you preordered one.

Awesome device. Nintendo handheld after a very long time. Looking forward to switch 2

It's a great size product. It's versatile, portable and quite affordable and very awesome.

I have loved every second of owning this console. I got it during the start of the pandemic and battled with thousands to get one and finally did after almost 2 weeks of trying with zoolerts and other stock alert sites... Plus refreshing the page frequently on multiple stores with electronic departments. Anyways I don't regret a moment of buying this. Very worthwhile especially at a time like now where I need to be home and focus on something else other than the world. My only regret is not preordering the ACNH special edition switch before it became impossible to get one with people inflating the prices for gain...

You can play it on your TV or on the go! I love that you can play this console anywhere. It has great local multiplayer unlike the Xbox and PlayStation. I would definitely recommend this console to a friend!

I bought the console as a Christmas present for my son. We have two Wii and Nintendo DS that we have been using for years. The Nintendo Switch can be used like the DS, like a tablet or like the Wii. The controllers are like wiimote, they are aware of your movements, vibrate and make sounds but are way smaller. The "controllers" can be used like one big controller or two independent wiimote... to convert the former to the later it is like playing lego, you dissemble them. Every time, I hope I do not break them in the process because they are not cheap to replace. I wish that there was some form of backward compatibility but no. The wii games format is DVD, the DS some big cards and Switch another format... no way to reuse games from one console to another. We have bought three games and they are fun to play. Resolution is better and more playable. Versatile is what I liked, I can play on the TV or in the car. Not super impressed with the games yet... I found the console expensive when not on sale... Also be aware that if you have more than one kid, they might want each of them their own console. It is a good console for family games. Nintendo has a lot of options for kids and preteens. I will continue to use the WIi but I will not buy wii games equivalent on the switch. If you have a Wii and DS, try it before buying it. If you do not have a wii, buy it...

We bought this for our children and they absolutely love it. We are mario fans and being able to continue that with the Switch is great. They have a good game selection, the graphics are great, and it's a much better portable gaming device than a tablet. My only concerns with it are that I wish it came with 2 remotes (the joy con remotes are expensive) and that when plugging it into the tv it comes out of the docking station too easy (kids sometimes accidentally knock it over).

This is a great system for the family to play family games!!!

I love the switch! I love how it can be mobile and can connect to the tv. I do wish the controllers were bigger but I’ll have to get the full size controllers.

Great item, got it as a gift for my gf. She loves it and uses it literally all the time.

This is possibly my all time favorite video game system/console I’ve ever owned! So fun. Being able to play handheld, on the tv, and table top mode is so cool. Fun for all ages!

Very Portable you can take it everywhere you go and most of all it’s suitable for people and children of all ages! You can even have it hooked up to a T.V for everyone to enjoy!! Some of the things you need to look out for is making sure you take good care of the joy cons mainly to avoid your controller from “Drifting” or your character/cursor moves with you touching the controller, it’s also recommended to buy an SD cars Incase you need more storage! The Switch is a console I highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a console that is fresh, new, exciting and most of all fun for the whole family!

The system itself is really cool. It was super simple to setup. I like that you can have different profiles on it. To play a multiplayer game like Mario Party you don’t even have to buy another controller because the controller that comes with it turns into two controllers!! I really like the fact that you can hold it and play it and then set it into the doc and it instantly goes on the TVs and same when you take it out of the doc. The docking station is smaller and lighter than I expected. The only downside is the cost of buying extra joy cons and that it doesn’t have much memory built in.

Love my switch bought over 1000$ worth of games and played them all it runs like a charm. Love the dock and portable compact all together you won’t regret this purchase!

The Nintendo Switch is amazing. The multiple different playstyles makes for a fun change. There’s a great selection of games available on the eShop, and console games like Super Mario Odyssey are awesome.

My boys absolutely love their switch. The only issue I had was we took their switch on vacation and come back and the switch won’t charge, and won’t turn on. Brought it back and they said if you use any other charger than the charger it comes with it will stop working. Which I only used the original charger so not sure what could’ve happened, but thank goodness I had the warranty. I had to get a whole new device. The staff there was very friendly and helped me with everything, getting it refunded and even helped me get the new device. Was a very quick and easy experience.

Not going to lie I’ve owned Nintendo systems in the past and I was expecting something similar to the old UI but it’s not really similar at all and very different but similar when it comes to gaming. They definitely made it more kid friendly I guess you could say and parental controlled but it’s still pretty good none the less. Audio quality would be average but could definitely be better. But I love being able to take this on road trips and being able to play together with others anywhere and everywhere. It’s not heavy doesn’t heat up because there’s a fan. The battery life is average.

I am retired and I guess you would say our families have always been middle-to-lower income families and Generation after Generation of kids have always known that "just because Ricky has it" - never meant that you too should have it---so don't ask "why not??" I bought this Nintendo Switch 32 GB for my 10-year old Grandson for Christmas. Not only did it take financial planning to be able to purchase a $400. "toy" - but I also had to get past my "Old School" upbringing from my parents that spending even a third of this kind of money on kids for toys was beyond ridiculous and unimaginable!! Give them a jump-rope, a doll (that doesn't wet, cry, crawl or bat her eyes!), or a bat and ball, or even a scooter (and I do NOT mean an electric powered one!). But I have to admit- I was excited. Happiness is in the Giving and making Others happy. Maybe you can only do it once. I had a box and I hid the Switch under a false bottom; then placed a number of small items individually wrapped in the box on top of the false bottom. Then wrapped the box with lots of colorful Christmas paper- and lots of tape! His mother was in on it---and ready with a camera. Once he got the box opened, my Grandson expressed happiness and excitement as he opened each individually wrapped gift, saying 'thank you' after each. We have done our best to bring him up to appreciate 'giving and receiving'. At first he started to pick up the paper wrappings and stuff them back into the box, but suddenly hesitated (his Mom and I kept talking pretending to not pay attention). I guess he was remembering how I always play tricks with gifts and his mind was working over-time. He took the paper back out and kept turning the now "empty" box upside down and kind of rattling it. He looked up at us with a questionable look saying, "I think there's something in the bottom, it still feels kinda heavy". I'm like, "Really?" With all the sadness, heartache, frustrations and difficulties going on today in every wake of our lives-- I wish everyone could have seen his face and heard his shouts of "No Way, No Way, No Way!!" It would have taken everyone back to a day when they too rec'd something unbelievable, a hope not dared to be hoped....a child's heart bursting with pure happiness, joy and delight!! That $400. was really very, very little. (Of course now weeks later his Mother and I sometimes have our doubts-- when we have to pry the thing from his hands fearful that it's melted into his skin!! LOL!)

I bought this console because how easy it is to “switch” from TV playing to mobile playing. The battery lasts long enough for a good gaming session and overall everything about this console is as expected.
