Easy setup. Was pretty much fully charged out the box and was ready to play with family within 10mins. 3 different ways to setup the system and play

Some backstory: I'm a grown woman. As a kid we had an N64 and an original PlayStation. I transitioned to PC gaming in my teens and never looked back to consoles. As an adult I have never had a Wii, Xbox, or newer-generation Playstation. I, like many others, was looking for something to do in my spare time during the COVID pandemic besides watching movies and television. I bought this console in September 2019. I don't have any existing ties to a console (all the controllers are greek to me and would need to be learned) or game franchise. Pros: - The flexibility of this console impresses me even months later. I love being able to grab the unit from the dock and walk around the house with my Pokemon Sword game uninterrupted when someone else wants to use the TV. I love being able to take my unit to a friend's house and dock there. I love being able to use the joycons separately, together in a grip, or use "pro style" controllers. It's obviously a huge selling point and it hasn't disappointed. Looking forward to travelling with it someday. - Great mix of major, indie, and free titles. We have played some of the "major" games (Pokemon) and freemium stuff (Rocket League, Asphalt 9) but gravitate toward strategy/puzzle games like Overcooked 2, Moving Out, Untitled Goose Game, and Donut County. Maybe a similar mix is available on other platforms, I'm just pleasantly surprised at the variety compared to my childhood N64 and PS1 collections. We still have lots of popular games like Zelda or Super Mario to check out in the future. Cons: - The graphics aren't amazing compared to top of the line Xbox or PS consoles. - Certain games have considerable lag/latency during gameplay. - Felt like a decent number of accessories were basically required at the get-go. Have purchased a screen protector, third party controller, hard case for travelling, grips for the individual joycons, and an SD card. Of course no games come included so the price of games is added on to that. - Almost everyone I know who's had the console for at least a year complains about the joycons breaking or drifting. I expect we'll need to replace ours at some point in the next year.

Like the flexibility of being able to take it with me and not requiring a TV hook-up to use. Can even use it to play with people in other cities.

It’s really SO cool that you can seamlessly take your game from tv to an on the go tablet. This is really helpful when your kid is in the middle of a game and you need to get out the door! The versatility of one controller breaking into two pieces for two people to use if needed (not my preferred method) is well thought out. I balked and hesitated on buying this for a long long time, since we had DSs, Xbox’s, etc... but this one is really like a LIFESTYLE gaming system and will get the most use in our house. Also. Buy over cooked. And don’t forget to ask for the amazon price match.

So I got this for my 11 year old. He loves it ! Awesome selection of games, totally portable, great speed and graphics, and it can be hooked directly to tv.

Best gaming device there is lets you play on a tv or on the go via the screen. Like the old PSP but so much cooler. Has the best games too!

This console is great for younger kids. The games are very kid friendly. The console is great because you can take it on the go and use it at home on a TV!

My kids are really into gaming. We already have a ps4 and Xbox. My son has been begging for the switch for some time now and i got to say its pretty cool!!! I love how easy it is to put together, a console without a bunch of confusing cords. Think it has just one or two. I mean to be fair my ps4 has so many cause i have a vr connected to it LOL. But anyways not only do my kids love it but i LOVE IT as well. The Super Mario games remind me of my childhood! I have a really good time playing it and my son was surprised at how good i was at the game lol #MomPoints

My partner and I purchased the Nintendo Switch just so she could eventually play Untitled Goose Game (which lived up to the hype). Beyond that game though, we've really enjoyed racing together in Mario Kart, cooperating through the levels of Super Mario Brothers, and exploring many of the indie games available for the console. The flexibility in playing alone in handheld mode or multiplayer in either tabletop mode or docked and connected to a tv has been great. I would recommend this console for anyone looking for casual gameplay and beyond.

Overall I'd say this is a great product. My only complaint is how small the joycons are, even with the included adapter. I have large hands so I am probably not a part of the majority they kept in mind when designing them. Luckily a Pro Controller was perfect for me so I can enjoy all this console has to offer. The fact that you can take it anywhere you want is a huge plus for me, as I am disabled and sometimes I get stuck downstairs until I have enough strength to make it back upstairs in my home. This has really been a game changer for me.

Great system, love it. Not overly powerful but plays all the games as intended. Love I can take it on the go with me and still plug it in to okay on any TV

So I finally got online at a time when they were in stock. So happy! Fun and easy to set up. Mario Kart was the main reason I wanted this.

Very portable and easy to set up. All necessary hardware is included. There are many of games to choose from. Overall, it is a great buy!

The Nintendo switch is as close to a perfect system as it gets, and the new version even improves it with better battery life and clearer Screen. Amazing.

Play on your own or with friends. Hand held or on the TV. We have been waiting for this to restock since March. Would highly recommend

Most convenient console due to portability and ease of use. Storage is easily expanded and newer version has better battery life.

I got this Switch and it was so good i got another one. I will warn you. they dont make a case that protects it well. Or the case will work but it wont fit into the docking station. So if you are buying this and you want to protect it you should ask for something that wont prevent you from being able to dock it in the charging station. I recommend getting at least the glass protection. This is a device you do not want to drop. However, it is great play on your tv or as a handheld. Plus you can back it up to the cloud and its easy to use.

I love that you can play handheld but you can also hook it up to the TV & play multiplayer with more layers than other consoles allow! Pretty amazing!

The portability and charge life is worth every penny. I would recommend this to anyone. Games runs very smooth and graphics are great.

I purchased a the Switch for my boyfriend for Christmas and he Loves it! its easy to put together, long battery life interactive fun for all ages.
