My daughter loves it! Sturdy device & larger screen than imagined! Works great with smart tv & it very portable as well- new switch offers longer battery life - great product

It's a great size product. It's versatile, portable and quite affordable and very awesome.

After the sad fate of the Wii U (a good console in my eyes) not many people believe Nintendo would ever come back from such a fail, but Nintendo proved them all wrong. The Nintendo Switch is a find "hybrid console" meaning it can act as a home console or portable. I was surprised how small the console actually is and at the same time feels solid in your hands. The Nintendo Switch already has two Game of the Year contenders in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey so the console is a great buy for this holiday season. There are a few cons as in you need an Micro SD card for Storage but if you are reading this on Best Buy you do have affordable options so be sure to pick a a 128 GB one

Not going to lie I’ve owned Nintendo systems in the past and I was expecting something similar to the old UI but it’s not really similar at all and very different but similar when it comes to gaming. They definitely made it more kid friendly I guess you could say and parental controlled but it’s still pretty good none the less. Audio quality would be average but could definitely be better. But I love being able to take this on road trips and being able to play together with others anywhere and everywhere. It’s not heavy doesn’t heat up because there’s a fan. The battery life is average.

I really do enjoy the switch! I like how you can go anywhere with it and play! So different from wii u! Also love the games that have different characters then the wii u!

I am retired and I guess you would say our families have always been middle-to-lower income families and Generation after Generation of kids have always known that "just because Ricky has it" - never meant that you too should have it---so don't ask "why not??" I bought this Nintendo Switch 32 GB for my 10-year old Grandson for Christmas. Not only did it take financial planning to be able to purchase a $400. "toy" - but I also had to get past my "Old School" upbringing from my parents that spending even a third of this kind of money on kids for toys was beyond ridiculous and unimaginable!! Give them a jump-rope, a doll (that doesn't wet, cry, crawl or bat her eyes!), or a bat and ball, or even a scooter (and I do NOT mean an electric powered one!). But I have to admit- I was excited. Happiness is in the Giving and making Others happy. Maybe you can only do it once. I had a box and I hid the Switch under a false bottom; then placed a number of small items individually wrapped in the box on top of the false bottom. Then wrapped the box with lots of colorful Christmas paper- and lots of tape! His mother was in on it---and ready with a camera. Once he got the box opened, my Grandson expressed happiness and excitement as he opened each individually wrapped gift, saying 'thank you' after each. We have done our best to bring him up to appreciate 'giving and receiving'. At first he started to pick up the paper wrappings and stuff them back into the box, but suddenly hesitated (his Mom and I kept talking pretending to not pay attention). I guess he was remembering how I always play tricks with gifts and his mind was working over-time. He took the paper back out and kept turning the now "empty" box upside down and kind of rattling it. He looked up at us with a questionable look saying, "I think there's something in the bottom, it still feels kinda heavy". I'm like, "Really?" With all the sadness, heartache, frustrations and difficulties going on today in every wake of our lives-- I wish everyone could have seen his face and heard his shouts of "No Way, No Way, No Way!!" It would have taken everyone back to a day when they too rec'd something unbelievable, a hope not dared to be hoped....a child's heart bursting with pure happiness, joy and delight!! That $400. was really very, very little. (Of course now weeks later his Mother and I sometimes have our doubts-- when we have to pry the thing from his hands fearful that it's melted into his skin!! LOL!)

The Nintendo switch is by far a really innovated and really great console to own, whether your an "on the go'' type of gamer or a "sit in front of the tv on a comfy couch" type of gamer or both. The battery life and the processor has been improved with the new version of the switch and there are a lot of great titles that have been released and are still being released that will catch anyone's attention. side note I actually own an xbox one X and a ps4 Pro and I have to say..I haven't really used them as much since building my gaming pc and buying the switch except for only some jrpg's like persona 5 on the ps4.

This console is great and compact. The graphics are a definite improvement but still behind the PS and XBOX (but you aren’t buying this for the graphic quality). All of the games are awesome and look great. Once a larger library of games is available, it will make this system even better. The controllers work well right out of the box (didn’t need a charge). The only issue is having to charge the controllers. It does not come with a charge ability unless it is plugged into the console which then requires it to be plugged into the dock to play games. There is only the one power cord to use if you take it out to play on the go. I definitely recommend buying the chargeable controller when you buy the switch.

The Nintendo Switch is popular for good reason. It is fun to use and easy - even for beginners. There is a good selection of titles, but I would like to see even more!

Picked this up and a couple of kid/family games. They device is great—super easy to setup and transfers back and forth between TV play and handheld seamlessly.

The ability to swap between a portable and a docked mode is something every console should have. While it's not as powerful as an Xbox or PlayStation, the Switch is still a very capable system. My only nitpick is the tiny joy-cons, but there are Nintendo and aftermarket controllers available that make up for this minor (IMO) shortcoming. I am completely satisfied with my Switch and have no reservations suggesting it to anyone looking for a new console. (Keep in mind, there's a new model on the horizon - you might wanna hold off and see what that one's got in store!)

As of this writing, 12/15/17, there are not many game options. They have a few good games at launch, like zelda and Mario, but are missing a variety of 3rd party games. While this is no suprise, as it never is with Nintendo, it is more noticible since the games we got are rereleases that have been out for some time. Hopefully the line up will get more inclusive with time. Beyond the games, the hardware is great. The controller is a large step up from the wiiu gamepad despite being similar in design. Since the controllers charge while the machine is docked, we have had no issues with needing to stop playing to charge. We seem to get about 3 to 4 hours from the tablet portion when it is off the dock.

LOVE the switch. It reminds me of the Gamecube console. Bringing me back to my youth. The remotes are obviously very small when holding them individually. It's a little uncomfortable but still works. I am also a little bummed that after a few years it does not have access to Netflix nor does it have disney+. Hoping that'll change in the near future.

A great product that offers so much entertainment and convenience for the price! The selection of games available for this console are great, and many are wholesome enough to enjoy as a family together. Who doesn't like playing a character like Mario one minute then doing Zumba the next? The upcoming games also look promising. I like this product a lot!

The battery life last long! Amazing on the go as well as great game system when docked as well. Compared to the last model for the switch this model is highly recommended.

I have PS2 and Wii. I have played on PS3 and Xbox at friends' places. But Switch is so different! Small console, very portable, easy to set up. Very few wires. Sleek controllers. Superb battery life.

I own all the consoles, but this one ended up being way better than I expected. The games are great, and the portability makes it something I wish the PSP was.

If you got the 2nd iteration of the console (indicated by the background color on the box is completely red), you can pretty much play this for 5-6 hours as opposed to 2-3. Totally worth it, even if you have the first generation model that has its own secret perks if it's a launch model. Personally, I'd still choose this over the Lite model since you get a lot of value for $300. A set of Joycons are $80, and the dock itself is $60, and you're getting all of these right out of the box. Plus you still have the option of playing your games on the big screen. The only tradeoff is the console's LCD isn't as good as the Lite's.

this was great. the first one we got had the volume buttons not work. the customer service at best buy was great and easily did an exchange and the new one is great!

Great item, very convenient! Was able to use anywhere, only thing is needs more storage.
