    Perfect game console for my 2 younger boys. Not a ton of buttons and a lot of games for younger kids.

    What's most amazing about this console is the portability. To be able to play AAA games on the go that's not touch control like ipads/iphones or semi decent graphics like ps vita and 3ds but instead full fledged games.. it's a dream come true. The console doesn't get hot in your hands, at most it gets warm but is never uncomfortable. The screen is nice and bright but it is made of plastic so it will scratch if thrown loosely into a bag with other items, make sure to buy a screen protector (If you can get your hands on one). I've put 70+ hours into Zelda alone and i'm super excited for amazing Nintendo games to be released and super happy that the Nintendo Switch exists.

    What a comeback by Nintendo. They made a sleek, fun portable gaming system with a small launch batch of games, but a solid batch. I hope the switch catches on because this thing is addicting.

    We purchased the Nintendo Switch for our son for his 9th birthday...of course it was a big hit!! He absolutely loves it! From a parent’s perspective... We wanted a system that was a little more family friendly since we also have a younger son and this system is what was recommended to us, and so far so good. It was really simple to set up (and we seriously are not good with techy things at all) and parental controls are easy to add as well. We also love the portability aspect of the Switch, so if we want to use the TV that it’s hooked up to, our son can take it off the dock and play it elsewhere. Really great, and highly recommend!

    Was finally able to purchase and its good like most Nintendo consoles but nothing special really. I don't like the Joy-cons but the interface is at least better than what we got on DSI and 3DS. I wish it was backwards compatible so I could play some of my older games on it rather than having to re-purchase them if they are even available. Normally I would say unless you absolutely have to play some of the games on this console wait for a sale but it and its most popular games never go on sale.

    There's a reason why the switch has been so hard to track down during these times. It is the perfect gift for families with a wide variety of games to play. It also allows each family member to have their own profile with their own saved games.

    Innovative, fun and has a nice early library of games to choose from. Battey life isnt bad at all. Lasted me 4-5 hours playing through Zelda. Easily moves from TV hook up dock to handheld.

    Great fun! Kids and I love love love! Wish I would have bought sooner! There friends all have one but I didn’t want them to get addicted to it and just sit around but because of pandemic they have been stuck inside to long so gave in. They are limited on how long they can play but love it and can’t wait to play again! Now I find myself wanting to play with them on it! Lol! Makes me feel like a kid again! It’s easy to use and so far works great! Very durable as well. Thank you!

    We got this for my son for Christmas and he loves it! Mom & Dad love that there are lots of games rated “E” for everyone which is great for our 8 yr old. Getting a memory card is a good idea as several games require large downloads and need the extra storage.

    Nintendo definitely did exactly what was intended with this console: It works perfectly as a mobile device and connects to TVs and maintains a great resolution in doing so. I got it to kill time at work (long, silent hours) and on the road. It does super well in both regards. Screen brightness outshines anything but direct sunlight. Battery life is about 6-8 hours of continuous play, but charging is very quick (~1hr in my experience). With these numbers it's easy to conclude that it charges much faster than it drains. I've yet to play anything but BotW on it, but that game has proven sufficient to hold my attention thus far at around 100 hours of game time.

    It's great entertainment, the games are a little expensive but on the Nintendo E-shop has some good deals. Nice screen and i love how you can put it on the TV. I got it for my daughter to keep her entertained during this pandemic and she loves it!!!

    Nintendo's newest system is great on the go or at home. As a lifelong Nintendo fan, I am very pleased with their newest system. Slowly it seems they are coming back to catering to gamers again after hitting their craze with casual fans with the Wii. Here is my breakdown: Pros: -Multiple ways to play -Great looking screen -Easy to use -Comfortable in all modes of play, some you have to get used to though Cons -Small game selection so far -3 hour battery life is a bit short, buy a battery pack extender -Hardware is less powerful than PS4 and Xbox 1, but it is portable so that is the trade-off If you're looking for the best gaming experience on the go this is it.

    Best Nintendo product to come out in a very long time . My son who is 8 years old just loves it. We were looking for something to replace the wiiU and DS. The switch by far is better then both of those. The graphics are awesome. I've even caught my self playing it and not wanting to put it down.

    Would recommend it but make sure you get the warranty in case something happens. Something is up with my card game reader it doesn’t want to get it and now that I want to try to fix it with Best Buy it’s not letting me since I didn’t get a warranty and it’s been more than 14 days since I got my Nintendo Switch.

    I have to admit that I like the different games and it doesn’t need to be hooked up to the internet for my kids to have fun. That’s where my love for it ends. It is a very difficult system to learn. Not nearly as user friend as I was led to believe from ads. No manual included in the box. Everything is an electronic tutorial, which is fine if you can find it before getting frustrated and wanting to throw through a window. Every game has a tutorial on what button does what. Watch them. It will help immensely and keep your children entertained. The other drawback I see to this system is while the split controllers are a really cool idea, they are not easy to learn how to use or how to get the system to recognize you have split them and are using them separately. Plus all the things out there to make the system more user friendly and fun of course is more $ to spend. The $300 price is just the beginning. To date with the purchase of only 5 games and a few additional items. We are closer to $600. Be aware of this when thinking of this system. It’s not as inexpensive as it may seem on the surface.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
