I bought the switch for my brothers. They enjoy playing it

This is likely the last Nintendo console that the late president Iwata had a strong influence on, and it seems to be the arrow they are choosing to put all their weight behind. A fascinating design that takes the best in portable DNA (sleep mode, fast saves) and injects it into the console market — it could be just what the tired form factor needed. Already I appreciate the flexibility of being able to switch between TV mode and portable mode. The transition is not as seamless as I imagined, as it takes care and attention to swap out the Joy-Cons. At launch there is almost no games library to speak of, but Breath of the Wild (which has a legitimate shot at Game of the Decade) singlehandedly justifies the first wave of adoption. And Snipperclips is pure crowd-pleasing fun.

The Switch is easy to use. Takes a bit of time to get all setup. Instructions are at a minimum, like the fact that you can add a memory card or how to install it.

Awesome product!! We recommended for children 7 and over.

Bought as a giraffe Christmas present for my wife and son

Easy to handle, Easy to set up, good size to travel with.

This is a great idea from Nintendo. Portable home console.

I’ve been searching the heavens for the switch and was finally able to get one from here. I’ve been having so much fun with my kids, catching up on old nostalgic favorites from past consoles and arcades, and challenging friends online. This is a great hybrid console for everyone!!!

Light years ahead of the Wii U good thing I never got one

My son is 5 and is in love with his Switch! He can be active at the same time with certain games. He can take it along as we travel and can share as well. This is a great buy! You get multiple uses out of it.

The Nintendo Switch is such a great concept. It's either a console for your TV gaming needs or a portable gaming device for when you're on the move. Either way the gaming experience is fantastic and, of course, those Nintendo games are first class fun. We absolutely love it.

Great gaming device, we love that u can play on the tv also if u want too & very easy to set up.

Nice toy for kids. Hopefully they'll like it on Christmas

My kids love it and it small and you can take every where

I feel as if I really shouldn't be reviewing the Switch this early. Its unfair to a point considering it really only has Zelda(which is also on the Wii U) but the fact that you can take this full fledged zelda game on the go is amazing. I know Nintendo has things lined up, from their own first party titles to hopefully plenty of third party support. But that was the hope for the Wii U as well. But with that said the Switch being a real portable vs the Wii U only being able to work a few feet away from the dock is a huge difference that makes the Switch something far more impactful for my life. I hope Nintendo does delivery more titles(To be honest the Wii U does have a solid line up of nintendo games on it, it just lacked third party support and correct advertising IMO) as well as opening up and expanding on the tablet aspect of the switch. I look forward to the switch becoming a bit more of an all in one device that can truly play home console games. We still dont know much about the online aspect but I hope nintendo makes it worth while for us fans. As well as giving us more than just ports(MK8) or what seems to be a pretty rushed sequel(ST2) and that the Switch is here to stay for years to come. Again this is a hard product to review but I give it a 4/5 because I feel the future of this system could be game changing if done correctly but I have my fears as Nintendo hasnt had the best track record for me personally as of late. With that being said I do believe most folks should wait until a few more titles are out for the system, I believe if Mario does come out on time this holiday season, that would be a perfect time to pick one up. If it does get delayed and we are left with mostly indies/ports/remakes I will have to still tell friends to wait and hope for the best.

I pre-ordered the Switch the day it was officially announced. I never purchased the previous Nintendo home console and wanted to play Zelda of course. Have I been happy with this purchase since. After 3 weeks of owning Nintendo Switch, I can say this is my go to console. Battery life is as advertised, I am sure once games have been created fully for the Switch, they will become more power efficient. Joycons are shockingly comfy to hold individually while playing games or in the JoyCon grip. If you playing mainly at home and forgot to dock the JoyCon purchase the charging grip otherwise the about 20 hour battery life on the JoyCons have not died on my while doing a day marathon of playing. I did take the Switch on Vacation and played it on the airplane no issues.

The console looks great, runs smooth, and the Joy-Con controllers are a little revolutionary with their flexibility, but they also feel flimsy. That's my only concern. Also, all we need is a smash bros game for this system.

Best portable console since the psp Nintendo have outdone themselves!!!

Having owned all Nintendo systems this one is just as fun

Love the portability of the Switch. Just want more games.
