    Which isn't a bad thing at all! If you want 4K and crazy graphics stick with a PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. What you get here is solid fun games that everyone can enjoy and that you can take with you. The only downside I can see to owning a Switch is that first party games hardly drop in price.

    My search for the Nintendo Switch is over and i am amazed and impress by the works and design of the switch that made it the number 1 selling launch console in history. Its small but yet heavy, powerful enough to run at 1080p on tv and feels great in your hands but can be expensive to purchase if you lose the joy con controllers. I would like to think this is nintendo's next portable gaming console instead a stay at home station gaming console. Yes, nintendo is heading in the right direction for mobile that is if they can supply enough demands? As for gaming, zelda is fun and great, but it won't last long. Hope they come out w more in the near future to keep nintendo fans coming back more. Overall , the excitement and journey in finding a switch is over, and the beginning has just started.

    I'm a gamer but never really had any interest in the Switch but my daughter really wanted one so I surprised her with it on Christmas. Now that I see it I can see the appeal. A fully functioning console on the go is pretty awesome. I would recommend for anyone interested.

    I don't know why it took me this long to buy a Switch. I had a WII back in the day and I loved it and the Switch is even better! I have a PS4 Pro but aside from Last of Us 2, God of War, and Red Dead Redemption 2, it has not seen any action in the last couple of years. The Switch has a lot more of the fun multiplayer games and the Zelda ones are just amazing. My only gripe is the max 1080p resolution when docked to your TV but hopefully the next Switch model rectifies that

    Easy setup with loads of features. Bought it for my granddaughter. Unboxed it after dinner, powered it up, and logged her in. Found a couple of games she wanted, set it on the charger, and let it charge, download, update. Hadn't missed a lick. My granddaughter loves it!!!

    This little machine is one of the best gaming consoles we have had. We had to get a second one because my daughter won't stop using it. We went with a full system and not the switch lite because I want to be able to play on the TV if I want to. Smash Bros is almost impossible to play in handheld mode.

    The Nintendo Switch is an awesome gaming system in that it combines the power and specs of modern consoles and the portability and convenience of a handheld. I love that you can play big, open-world on the go and the system is designed very well. Nintendo has made a console that is not only innovative, it's a blast to play and is versatile.

    The switch is one of the best consoles out there right now, you can play while its casted to the TV, or handheld, or even propped up. Some of the games on the Nintendo shop bring you back in time! The joy-cons are easy to handle and fir perfectly in your hands. I love my switch!

    Amazing Console With A Genius Idea

    Wow just wow. When the Switch was first revealed I didn't expect much out of it, but man was I wrong. The Switch is just such a great idea and it's executed so well. It doesn't feel cheap and works great. Only thing is, get a screen protector, it's needed. Not only is the console itself so amazing but it's got great games. The Switch has everything from Mario Odyssey, the first truly 3d Mario game since Sunshine, Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, Xenoblades, and Labo. Most importantly, there are amazing games coming like Pokemon, DK Tropical Freeze, Fire Emblem, Metroid Prime 4 , and Smash. If you haven't picked up a Switch, what's wrong with you? $300 may be a little steep, but it's definitely worth it, from the great hardware to great software.

    Switch Delivers

    My current view on the Switch is a new and growing platform. With this in mind it is very polished and has a respectable game library. Nintendo is definitely behind it providing lots of updates and games. It’s availability is getting better and that is going to make it even more fun. The joycons are great and feel really solid. They are also very responsive. The portability is also great. We took it out to a barbecue and it was a hit. Battery life on the counsel is also really good we were out for a few hours and the Switch made it through. The parents control app is also great. It takes the pain of limiting you kids play away. When time is up they get plenty of notice that their time is up. You can even set it to shutdown if they do not listen to the notifications.

    Excellent Hardware. Stellar Games. No Regrets.

    I purchased a Switch from my local BestBuy upon release. 9 months later I have no regrets. The hardware, while limited (no Bluetooth, voice chat, and only 32 gb internal memory), is excellent and has held up very well. Initially, my left joy-con controller had connection issues, but Nintendo’s customer service was fantastic and had it repaired within a matter of days. I have also added a tempered glass screen protector to avoid blemishes and a 128gb mico sd card to boost the overall storage. In addition to the solid hardware, the Switch has a stellar lineup of games—many of which are exclusives. Zelda BOTW, Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Super Mario Odyssey are must haves. There are solid third party titles as well, including NBA2k18, Doom, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and Resident Evil Revelations. The system is rounded out by a large amount of indie games available for purchase through the system’s built in eshop. Standout titles include Snipper Clips, Golf Story, Steam World Dig 2, and Stardew Valley. Being able to play excellent titles how-you-want and when-you-want, is a godsend for the lapsed gamer like me. The Switch has allowed me to fold gaming back into my life.

    Love the portability/hand-held capabilities of this, coupled with the ability to "switch" over to a larger screen. Battery life is great, amazing graphics for all the games i've played so far and fair price point (if you're one of the lucky ones to snag it at retail price). Thanks Nintendo!
