As you would expect. Great system. Fun games. Love how its sharable.

I have been a fan of Nintendo since the beginning, I have owned almost every one of their systems with the exceptions of the Virtual boy and the Wii U. While I had lost faith in them with the Wii and had hoped they would just turn to make third party games for Xbox and or Sony. They proved me wrong and made this great system. While not the graphical powerhouse of the other two, Nintendo has never put graphics above fun. Zelda Breath of the Wild looks fantastic on the switch, either in console dock at home, or in handheld mode on the go, and it was a joy to play. I must of played it for over 100 hours. This is the only system in my life that I own more than one. My kids who were not gamers, suddenly wanted to play this all the time. The only issue I have with this system would be the joy-cons, they have an issue that will inevitably pop up called the drift. The joy sticks become loose and will move your character with you wanting them to. At $80 for a new pair, it’s a tad pricey to replace them. That is why I would never buy the Switch Lite, those joy-cons are not removable, once they have the drift issue, they would have to be repaired. Pay the extra $100 and get the main Switch model. And splurge on the Pro Controller, I waited to get it for a long time and I wish I hadn’t. That this is great, but again Pricey.

Great battery, honestly I bought it to leave it connected to the TV, but being able to just play anywhere I want is quite awesome. I just wish I had more free time to enjoy it more often. The only problem with the software design is not being able to turn it off without the need of pressing the power button for 3 seconds... But that's nintendo's fault, not best buy

Like what so many others have reiterated, the Switch is such an innovative system when it comes primarily to their first party titles and ports. The system feels like it's a culmination and infusion of their part consoles, from motion sensors, optional handheld mode, the list goes on and on. It's the thought and development into the Switch's games that I truly can appreciate these many years later throughout my time playing video games. Interface is easy to navigate, with ease and accessibility. Only downside that I noticed is the joy cons will disconnect what seems to be randomly. Not sure if there's any update or remedies to this. The gamepad option doesn't display this issue at all so that's another alternative if you prefer. Can't wait to see what's in store for this system!

Now I’ve owned one for over a year and I love it!!! My nephew comes over all the time and is always wanting to play with my switch and when it’s time for him to go, he gets sad that he has to stop playing so I went ahead and bought him his own switch! He loved it as soon as he opened it! The actual switch is amazing! All the great games and the different ways to play it are awesome!

This Nintendo Switch was really purchased as a gift for my son. He enjoys the Nintendo line of games, especially anything Mario. I am impressed with how portable the game system is, and when plugged into the dock to play on a large screen tv, the gameplay is almost no difference, except for the touchscreen capability. Definitely a very good game system.

Longer battery life, for some reason better and brighter screen(?), AND I PRAY no joy-con drift hopefully.

I have long had Nintendo products and a variety of them. I was leery of getting the Switch for unknown reasons and ended up purchasing one to pass the time by during Quarantine as I have not played video games for years. I have definitely come to enjoy my Switch! I do enjoy the portability of it, as well as the fact that I am able to plug into the TV and play. I have found that the graphics on the games is pretty clear as well (or maybe in my old age I'm more blind since the last time I gamed LOL). Either way, I do not have many complaints. The only complaint I would have is with Nintendo's actual "friend network" or whatever you want to call it. I have seen/heard from others who play on Playstations, XBOX, etc. that they are able to communicate with their online friends by creating a party directly on the machine itself and thus going from there. There is no such thing with Nintendo. You must download the app and take it from there (which I did not do because I do not want to have to use my app while I am playing on my Switch console). Maybe I'm just picky but as I said that is literally one of the only complaints I can come up with, except for maybe that I am still waiting on the range of games offered on the Switch to maybe expand a little bit. Again, picky. Overall, would recommend.

I much prefer hand held consoles so the switch has been a hit for me. We originally bought it for my fiancé and I too share, however I get so addicted to the games I play, I think we need to buy him his own. I will say one of the controllers got joy on drift a few months ago and we had to buy replacements. Supposedly Nintendo would have replaced it however I didn’t want to wait, so I’m unsure. The new controllers work fine. We’ve only had it for a little over a year but it seems to be in great condition other than the joycon issue. I also really like that the Nintendo store has a huge variety of games, which also include many indie games. However some of those games don’t seem to get updated anymore. Sad.

What a great gaming platform that plays great on our home television and is very transportable to keep the kids busy in the car or at the grandparent’s house. Even the adults have fun with it. Great family fun when you add the joy-con CJ trollers to easily make it a 4-player system. There are lots of games for many individual gaming interests.

I have been wanting to buy the switch since the “Stay in place” order started. Everyday l searched until just recently found it on BB site and grabbed it! So glad I did I love it! Works great no issues. I like that I can travel with it, play while I am out of the home and the. When home connect to my tv and play on the big screen.. it is perfect!

If you play handheld majority, this switch's battery life is an amazing upgrade. The system runs extremely cool, the chipset in this switch should have been the original chipset to begin with. If you play predominantly docked this isn't worth it for you. If you don't have a switch yet, GET THIS ONE!

My daughter wanted this system for a long time and finally received one for Xmas. She enjoys it and cannot say enough about the joy factor and game play, since we can barely get her to stop. No issues with the quality of the product; it has an easy hook up to our TV and Nintendo has always been a great gaming system, which speaks for itself.

Nintendo games are classics. For 300 dollars you get both a console and a handheld. Battery life as improved from 4.5 to 8 hours on this newly revised model. Very hard to get right now but Best Buy has it...most of the time. The problem I have with the switch is that there are too many parts and accessories. Setting it up takes some time.

I was unbelievably lucky to get one of these! I'm happy I was able to get one of these without paying an extra $100! Its a super family friendly cosole, definitely recommend! The batter life is pretty good! And its super user friendly! You don't need to pay $10 a month for the live subscription, its like $20/$30 for the whole year

Couldn’t be happier with this system! Incredible quality, amazing system, easy to use, and portable. Makes playing video games more exciting and fun. May be small (since it’s portable), but it’s a great buy. I’ve been waiting for this system right when they went out of stock, and now that I have it, it’s honestly the best purchase I’ve made!

After a disappointing experience with the WiiU, this is a great comeback. The versatility revolution to play at home and on the GO is just Awesome. Very glad some of the good WiiU games are back on this platform. A must have for Nintendo fans. Good selection of Games to choose from. Love the Easy to use HDMI plug in set up.

My step son loves it. It is portable and he can play with his friends and relatives. Super cool gaming system. It's also nice that he isn't stuck in front of his tv in order to enjoy it . This was a Christmas gift and it made his day. It functions well with no glitches and games are affordable. I recommend it highly

Versatility of this game is amazing. The fact that i can play at home and also away from it makes it a great console.controllers are really bad.

We purchased this for our family as a group gift last Christmas and haven't regretted it since. We love that you can dock it and play it on the TV and then transition to portable use. Would HIGHLY recommend for the family, as you can each play under your own account (and not mess up other people's progress or gameplay).
