    Exactly as described. Easy to setup. Bonus docking station (included) makes for great fun on the big screen television. Accessories are plentiful. If you’re considering the Lite vs the full size, choose this full size model.

    Arrived on time! No damages! The only reason for the 4 stars is the site gave me a hard time when I tried to check out. I had to keep going back and adding it back to the cart a couple of times til it finally went through. P.s. don't give in to the scalpers yall! Hope is out there!

    I’ve been holding off on getting a Switch for a while now and I just got one a couple weeks ago. I’ve had very limited playtime but I’ve never once had so many issues with a console ever. I can’t count the amount of “software crashes” I’ve had with both Links Awakening and Pokémon Shield, on top of that I’ve had close to well over a dozen “orange screen freezes” where I’ve had to have hold onto the power button just to reset the console. I’ve been gaming since The NES and have owned dozens of consoles, and not once have I’ve ever experienced such a blatantly failure, it’s totally ruined the Switch for me..

    Should be able to hookup Bluetooth headphones easier. Should have a read aloud option for kids that aren't reading yet. Love the TV hookup option, and that multiple controllers can connect with it. Over all awesome game for ages 5 and up! A little costly though!!!

    Set up was really easy. And I still have memory after all these years. My only issue were updates for the downloaded games take long and for the system. My joy cons I never had a issue with or need to replace. I love how I can use it on the tv with the dock or have it set up well I am chilling in bed.

    In terms of raw horsepower (CPU, graphics, whatever) the Nintendo Switch is far behind the current generation of consoles like the XBox One. But, the Switch is a unique device. As a handheld, it is quite powerful (the latest iteration nearly doubles the handheld's battery life, addressing the Switch's greatest weakness). This allows you to play the same game on your TV and keep playing it as you take it out with you --- a unique ability. Most importantly, there is a staggering array of software available for it. Software is what makes or breaks a console, no matter how good it is. For example the Zelda game "Breath of the Wild" is a visual stunner with a huge open world. And this is the first portable system that has the full version of Skyrim available for it (the reason I bought it --- a high quality port of Skyrim with the 3 add-on packs). Nintendo has also done high quality ports of other gems from older consoles such as "Mario Kart 8" as well as a lot of new titles such as "Super Smash Brothers Ultimate" or "Luigi's Mansion 3". In addition,their digital store has a lot of quality indie games such as Stardew Valley. Also, if you purchase the Nintendo Switch Online membership ($20/year) Nintendo also gives you a large selection of NES and SNES classic games. The membership is worthwhile for that alone. Basically, because Nintendo is ONLY selling the Switch as a current console (the 3DS is on its way out), all of their best software goes to the one console. And that gives developers strong incentives to bring their best titles over as well. If you want a wide variety of games, the Switch is a good choice. If you want THE best console graphics or performance, obviously the Switch isn't for you.
