Amazing gadget which has kept me and my family very entertained

We have had the Nintendo Switch for a few weeks, my spouse and I, and our teen kids play it, we have enjoyed playing separate games and games together, it's really nice looking and easy to handle, it has a lot of online options to choose from, and the subscriptions are fairly priced! Took us a bit to decide if we wanted one, but we are glad we made the purchase. Fun for the whole family, adults, teens and children. Great system that plays smoothly with nice graphics.

Awesome. My son loves it and bring joy to be able to play as a family

This is our first video game system in a long time, wife loves it for dance 2023 and bowling so far! I did not go for the OLED model as we would just be using this primarily for TV use and it is great! The games we can play together and download on demand make it a real winner in our house! The built in storage and controllers could be increased / improved ergonomically, I have large hands and the controller seems a bit small but otherwise great system.

The Nintendo Switch is hands down one of the most versatile gaming consoles I've ever owned. Whether you're a casual gamer, a hardcore enthusiast, or anything in between, the Switch offers something for everyone. Its unique hybrid design allows you to seamlessly transition between playing at home on your TV and taking your gaming experience on the go in handheld mode. The console's library of games is extensive and diverse, with titles ranging from beloved Nintendo classics like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" to popular third-party releases like "Animal Crossing: New Horizons" and "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe." The joy-con controllers are comfortable to hold and offer innovative motion controls, making gameplay immersive and enjoyable. Additionally, the Switch's multiplayer capabilities make it perfect for social gaming experiences with friends and family. Overall, the Nintendo Switch is a must-have gaming console that offers endless entertainment possibilities and is suitable for gamers of all ages.

Purchased for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. What she loves most is that it is portable

It is great can move around with it and put it on the TV!

I’ve been on the fence about getting a new game console considering I rarely play, but I found the Nintendo Switch to be perfect for a casual gamer. The dynamic setup of the console allows you to play it handheld or linked to a TV. I find myself playing handheld a lot - great for short spurts. It’s a great distraction in the age of quarantine. In terms of game selection - I would definitely research what types of games you want to play and if they are already offered, or going to be offered. See if there is a demo and play it to the fullest extent - you’ll find you only spend money on games you really want. I’ve only bought one game so far!

It has been a great console. This is the second one purchased. Loved by both parents and kids in our home.

The Switch is awesome! You can play it at home or on the go. Never had a problem with battery as long as your aware and take a charger if needed. Take it with me so I can play during breaks. The ports on the handheld is strangely laid out but not bad. If you already own a console, this is still a viable option. Highly recommend getting SD card as well. One game took up half the storage in device so be aware if your buying triple A digital games like Zelda or Mario.

We love our switch. No issues, love the portability of the device

Great gaming system, for home and on the go, portable, I recommend to every one,

Picked up the original Switch mainly for Super Smash Bros, and it’s been a blast. The console’s versatility makes it easy to play on the TV or take it on the go, and my wife enjoys using it for Animal Crossing and a few other titles. It’s a solid system for both casual and competitive gaming.

This is the first Nintendo system I've purchased since the Wii and I have zero regrets about it. Having read generally favorable reviews, I had a hard time passing on this initially as I wanted a solid portable system to replace my Vita which just wasn't getting the game support I wished it would. Having the one-two punch of being both a portable system and standard console made it too hard to resist in the end, and I am extremely glad that I made the choice to pick it up! I've seen preferences vary for everyone on how to use the system and my preferred method when not doing local multiplayer is to play in handheld mode. While I love it, the ergonomics aren't the best and I'll find my hand/wrist hurting after playing for an hour or so (sometimes less). A case grip will help this issue, but I haven't found quite the perfect one yet. For local multiplayer, being able to split the joycons up to create two separate controllers is genius and extremely convenient. I have yet to have a reason to purchase any additional hardware for the system as a result. Finally, the games are generally what makes the system, and Nintendo shines here. They now have two of the best games of the year with Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of the Wild which combined will give you hundreds of hours of gameplay. Golf Story and a number of other indie titles have emerged as hits as well and are definitely something to look into when you get the system for yourself. With other AAA titles like Doom, Skyrim, and Wolfenstein II coming up I just keep getting more and more excited that I have this system. I recommend it to anyone and everyone as the versatility of it ensures that in some way, shape, or form it will be exactly what any gamer, casual or hardcore, prefers and loves.

My wife bought me a Nintendo Switch for our anniversary and I have been loving playing it. I have the grey joy-con version, and I like the discrete look of it near the TV. I love being able to slide the joy-cons on and take it on the go. When traveling, I find it very comfortable to play it in handheld mode. Compared to other game consoles, the Switch is very easy to connect to the TV and have ready to play. The only accessory I bought right away was a screen cover (which I think is essential to avoid scratching the screen). It has now been 3 years since purchasing, and I am still completely happy with it. Until recently, I typically purchased physical games, but after buying more digital games, I ended up buying a MicroSDXC card to expand the storage. The Switch can keep 1 SD card in at all times, and it is easy to transfer save files, digital games, and DLC back and forth. If you decide not to use an SD card, you can simply archive the game and it will not delete save data. Of course, Nintendo has released new models that contain more storage. I also decided to buy a Pro Controller. For 3 years I only used the joy-cons or put them in the comfort grip which becomes a controller. I am looking forward to having a Pro Controller, since I now have more games that don't use any motion controls. Overall, I really love my Nintendo Switch, it is my main gaming platform.

So I was skeptical about the Switch. I have a PS4 and an Xbox One S, so why another console? (Oh, and a nice PC, too) Social Gaming. Fun. I’m partial to the PS4 for “serious” gaming, but it really hard to beat the switch. Hard to beat it for having 3 generations in the room playing Mario Kart—father-in-law, my wife & I, and our daughter all playing together. Hard to beat it for playing a serious game on the go. Playing Divinity Original Sin 2 when the kids are watching TV, or into the night before going to bed. I still love my PS4, in particular, but I’d tell you to get a switch if you like local offline multiplayer and Nintendo’s catalog. Which is great.

I’ve always gamed with Nintendo and I am never disappointed with their consoles. This holds true with the Switch! Amazing games, super convenient, and great game selection.

The Nintendo Switch is the best comsole to ever exist. It has all of the best games and also has my most favorite game of all time Super Mario 3D World.

Decided to finally buy a switch after a long debate about what I would actually play on it. And I have to say I’ve spent far more time playing it than I thought I actually would, between the switch games them self and the virtual console for NES and SNES titles included with the online subscription. Took this on a cross country plane trip and was pleased the battery lasted the entire time I was in the air, this was by far one of my favorite purchases of 2019. Pros: Ease of use Mobility Accessibility to virtual console offline Inexpensive online membership compared to others Cons: Can become uncomfortable holding the entire unit for long play sessions

Nintendo almost nailed it out of the park with their newest game system by playing video games on the go or on your big screen tv with the Switch. But as with their previous console, WiiU, they still have a little ways to go before they perfect this hybrid game machine. I love the screen size on the Switch, the enhanced battery life of the newest model, the versatility of controller options but not a fan of the directional pad/analog stick on the Joy-Cons, imperfections of Joy-Cons when snapped on the Switch (my left Joy-Con wiggles when attached), Joy-Con replacements are $80 which is ridiculous and some gamers are experiencing the notorious Joy-Con drift where the controller doesn’t register input..so I’m basically not really liking the Joy-Con controllers. Also the home screen is functional but really basic and cumbersome. Where the Switch really shines though is getting the home console gaming experience and having the option of going portable with a comparable experience. The Switch portable screen is 720p and when docked, the Switch can output 1080p on your tv. The Switch graphics are adequate and comparable to the Xbox 360/PS3 era so yeah, they’re a tad outdated. But with Nintendo, they have never been a game company pushing the limits when it comes to visuals. They rely on hardware innovations and with their latest game console, they have almost perfected their newest creation!
