Wanted the new OLED model, but it’s nearly impossible to find as a working adult who doesn’t have time to scour the news for drops while trying to compete with all the scalpers. I refuse to pay more than retail price so I settled for this model and saved a few $’s doing it. The console is quite fun, more so than I expected. My kids and I are having a lot of fun with it. My only complaints are minor.
1. The shoulder buttons L & R on the Joy Cons are too easy press by accident while simply trying to hold the console. I find that I’m pushing them often by accident. The Pro controller takes care of this problem when using the console docked.
2. It still surprises me that Nintendo is still charging the same price for this console as they did when it launched several years ago. Other console makers gradually reduce the prices on their consoles as the hardware ages, but not Nintendo… There’s rumors swirling that their next console could release within the next 1-2 years.
3. Their first-party controllers (Joy Cons and wireless Pro controller) are more expensive compared to Xbox S and PS4 controllers and yet do not feel as well-built, especially the Joy Cons.

We have been eyeing this console for a couple of years. Each time we decided this is the year they were very hard to find around Christmas. With our kids being a bit older now the switch seems to have many kid friendly options for games and interactions so we finally got our hands on one. Too bad I missed the bundle with Mario Kart but still a great deal compare to other consoles.

I’m grateful that I waited for the regular switch instead of going with the switch lite. I don’t have too much time to play in docked mode. HOWEVER, the option to do so is something that I didn’t realize would be so important until now. Having the option to play in docked mode just makes playing multiplayer so much easier. The versatility of the regular switch is something I’m grateful for.

This is such a great console for young kids and the plethora of games for them is just awesome. My seven year old loves the ability to play on the tv and then take it in the car with him. Super Mario games are really good and teach kids problem solving. The docking system is sturdy and the controllers are easily removed and replaced. Best Christmas and quarantine present for sure!

I am definitely not a gamer but I have been wanting the switch since it came out. And was just now able to get it. And it is completely worth it. I love the versatility of been able to play it.on the TV and as a handheld game and no major features lost. And of course multi-players is always fun. Love that is has games that kids can safely enjoy.

I was debating my whether or not to get the switch or the switch lite. Personally I am more of a hand held player but I like having the option to play on the big screen to be honest. It’s a great mobile console and I spend hours upon hours on it. I love that it doesn’t overcharge like ds units before. Would definitely recommend this to anyone

I had bought this console for my boyfriend for Christmas. This console is the second generation and by far is better than the first generation model! Charging is still fast but now the charge lasts from 4 hours to 8, depending on the game, in comparison to the first generation console. It too is a great console that you can take wherever!

Such a small device that’s packs so much technology and quality of graphics in the games. Could be hooked up easily to a television. Need to buy a screen protector. Can fall easily do to lightweight so recommended to purchase insurance. To have internal game you need to purchase memory. Biggest bang for your buck which allows you to travel with device and has plenty of battery life.

I bought this system due to my daughter bringing hers home from college for winter break and how much fun we had playing Mario Party as a family. So after she left I picked up the system and a few games(including Mario Party) .
On a computer, I'm into more hardcore adventure type games, but having grown up on Atari and Nintendo systems, on game systems I generally prefer games that I refer to as cute little guys doing cute little things. Like all the Nintendo systems before it, the switch has tons of options for this type of game including the whole array of Mario games.
My biggest complaint is I wish that the included controller holder thing was the newer version with a USB port for charging, so that I wasn't forced to either buy another piece of hardware to charge the second pair of controllers or remember to swap them out. Or possibly adding a pair of slots to the base for charging a second pair of controllers since lets face it 95% of people buying this system are going to get a second pair of controllers.
While I will normally be using it docked and connected to the TV, the ability to go handheld is nice, almost makes me look forward to my next long plane flight.......almost.
Is this system for everyone, certainly not, but the array of multiplayer family friendly games will certainly make it the right system for some.

I decided that I really wanted a Nintendo Switch, in the middle of a global pandemic, where millions and millions of people are working from home/learning virtually, trying to entertain themselves and/or their kids, right after Animal Kingdom: New Horizons dropped. I tried Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Amazon, eBay, GameStop, NewEgg, OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, literally everywhere, and I continued to hit dead ends. I even had friends in other states that were willing to pick it up near them and ship me it (I live in Jersey so most stores were either closed like GameStop the day after Animal Kingdom dropped or are curbside only, which wasn't easy either since they were literally sold out everywhere). After like 45 phone calls to different stores/supports, numerous people trying to scam me on OfferUp, 3 in store visits and absolutely refusing to pay $600 for a $300 device, I somehow got in touch with a literal angel from BestBuy Support, who somehow tracked one down for me. And it was even in the color I wanted. I was told it wouldn't get to my house until between April 22nd to April 27th (purchased on April 3rd), but it got delivered by April 10th. I've had no issues at all, BestBuy Support was phenomenal, and I am on it just about any free second I have from work and graduate school.
