Awesome little thing my employees all seemed to want to win this during the raffle

tldr; Get this, don't get the Switch Lite. It is a great system for almost any type of gamer. I've been a console gamer since 1984 when my parents bought me an Atari 2600. Most of my life I was a die-hard Nintendo fan. While my gaming preferences have evolved over the last 10-15 years (PlayStation fanboy nowadays) I've still owned every Nintendo (and Xbox) system that's been released, even if they were primarily played by my boys. This Switch however is MINE (my son has had one since launch.) I love that it is a cross between a portable and a console. I love that I can play it on the go, or during downtime in another game (ie; waiting for a party to fill in Final Fantasy XIV.) 32GB is NOTHING so make sure to pick up a micro SD card right away (still mad that Sony mad the Vita memory cards proprietary) And if you're like me and prefer to buy digital games vs physical, be warned that it will need a quick internet check each time you start a game (which tbh, there may be a workaround that I haven't looked into yet) which was a bummer when I was planning on playing some Smash Bros. on a recent flight but couldn't... If you are trying to decide between this and the Switch Lite - Get this model! The flexibility of being able to detach the Joy-Cons and to play it seamlessly on your TV is WELL worth the extra cost.

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!

Very good, my son is obsessed with it and it is very convient

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 switch has been so fun! It works so good and I highly recommend!

Love this console so much!!! It’s great to play with friends and family and the different ways to play as well as the ability to put it on the Tab is awesome.

Bought this for my daughter after she made the honor row for the second straight time this year. She loves it, best part it keeps her entertained on rides to the grocery store.

My kids already have one bought this for my nephew awesome don’t know why Best Buy says do a review you can win something I don’t know anyone who won anything from Best Buy which to me it’s the best place to go for any electronics or appliances

My son absolutely loves it! And received it so fast!!"

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...

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...

I've loved Nintendo games for a long time, but the biggest issue I had was having a device that held a lot of games in one space without the need for a physical external drive. This device not only runs extremely smooth, it holds a lot of storage for what you pay for it. Would definitely recommend to anyone who has the heart for Nintendo games like I do.

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.

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.

Great quality, fun to play! Ready to use, great for all ages!

Such a great system, fun for all ages! Bought this for my mother in law and she can't get enough of it.

The Switch is quite a technological marvel with its ability to be played anywhere like Nintendo's past handhelds yet contain the power better than even the previous Wii U console. The system storage is not the best for downloads, but the games already available to buy such as Splatoon 2 and Fire Emblem Warriors are fun to play with the Joy-Con controllers used together. Even if online gameplay will soon cost money, it's still much cheaper at $20 a year (less than $2 a month, about the price of a candy bar) than Sony and Microsoft's online services at about $60 a year.

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!

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.
