I wanted a Switch from day one and in the last year or so, couldn't stop hearing good things about it and the games. I own a Wii U and they really dropped the ball on that system. They blew the Switch out of the water! The multiple options between using your TV, traveling one player or using the travel screen multi-player is a game changer. It is easy to setup, the graphics are crisp, and the title selection is awesome! It looks like Nintendo is bringing in more of the adult titles than before and not catering to just kids/families. Don't get me wrong, I love those games, but it is nice to have the ability to buy that marquee title you want when it comes out.

This is Nintendo doing what it does best: Creating a fun and enjoyable gaming experience in a portable format with great games!
There are two options, the Switch and the Switch Lite. The Switch comes with a docking station and removable joycons so that you can play the system on a television and with other people.
It's a lot of fun and the games are really great! There are so many current and classic games available including the classic NES and SNES games if you subscribe to the online portion of the Switch.
You will not be disappointed with the hours of fun this system will provide you and your family!

The switch is such an awesome console. Being able to bust it out anywhere and play great games on the go is a total game changer. Not to mention there are so many games for the platform, owning a switch now is the best time there's ever been. I love that you can play multiplayer on the go on a table top, or hook it up to a TV at a friend's house and let everyone join in. It's just so unbelievably versatile. Top that with the fact that Nintendo's proprietary games and characters are so well done for all ages and it's just hard to consider not owning a switch.

Is this Nintendos best console since Super Nintendo you ask? Yes it is. There is something for everyone here. The eshop offers plenty of deals. Online service is worth it for the Nintendo and Super Nintendo selections alone. Take Super Metroid or Breath of the Wild anywhere!
Perfect for families. The only downer would be controller setup, which can be a hassle sometimes. Not 4K but who cares, the games are great. No Netflix, who cares, watch that on the other 10 devices you have. Just kick back and get some gamin on! Go get this thing!

I got this as a Christmas gift for my son. He loves it. It's portable and has great games. The battery life is good and lasts as long as 10-11 hours of game play on a full charge. The portability is nice because he can easily carry it over to his friends house and they can play games. I was skeptical about buying from Target as I was reading mixed reviews about the quality. No issues with the Switch I got from Best Buy. It's been about 6 months of game playing fun. There are a lot of lower priced games we get from the Nintendo e-shop ranging from $1-$20.

I've had this for about a month now and I can't seem to put it down there's just so many games coming out and already out to play like witcher 3 and bioshock which is crazy that I get to play these in handheld mode. The battery life is also amazing with the brightness setting and games I play I'll get at least 5 hours each time. Overall I think this is an amazing gaming console it's has both the ability to switch from docked mode to portable mode and last a long time I definitely recommend everyone buys one.

I've been on the market for a Nintendo Switch for the past 2 years, but I've been hesitant/on the fence about it because of the lofty $300 price tag. However, this past year, with the release of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Switch, I just had to relive the experience that I once had way back when I played this game on the Nintendo Gameboy. So this past Black Friday, I decided to just go for it.
After reading product reviews and other blogs, I quickly came to realize that Nintendo had just recently released an updated Switch with better hardware. And by hardware, I mean the battery. The original model included a battery which held a charge for 2.5-6.5 hours. The game system that comes with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, is likely that original model. The newer model is the exact same switch, from what I can tell, however it comes with a better battery. The newer batter can hold a charge from 4.5-9 hours. The unfortunate thing regarding the newer model is that currently, it does not come with a game. But, I decided to forgo getting a free game with a worse battery and instead purchased the new model.
The important thing to know when shopping for a Switch is that the outside packaging (box) doesn't tell you which battery you are getting. So if you just grab one off the shelf, you won't know just by looking at the box if it is the old model or the new model. However, from what I have read online, you are able to tell based on the first 3 letters of the serial number. On the bottom of the box, locate the serial number. For the newer battery, look for the serial number that starts with XKW (not XAW). XAW is the old model, while XKW is the new model.
Additionally, if you are buying an open box/used switch, you can tell which model you are getting based on the MOD number on the back of the unit. When looking at the back, look for where it says MOD, if you want the newer model, you want the HAC-001(-01) model. If it says the MOD is HAC-001, that is the older model.
While you are essentially getting a discount by purchasing a Nintendo Switch with a game included at the same price as a Switch without a game, I personally think it's much better to get a console which comes with a longer battery charge.

We’d been playing the switch with other friends and family members who already owned the console, so purchasing one felt natural. Love the offerings of games, and the fact that you can break it up and play with multiple people on one device, and take it to-go is AWESOME!!! So glad this console exists and honestly is probably the best out of all the ones I grew up with, for the fact of these 2 features. Can’t wait to add more games to our library!
