    Switch works good and as described. The fact that I can switch from hand to TV is awesome. Although a little awkward for my hands but I got the satisfye grip for that. My only issue is the process of changing the address of my package. Everyone knows how hard it is to get ANY consoles nowadays so I had to rush the order and chose the wrong address. It says you have 30mins to change things but I was only 5mins in and I was not able to change anything at all. Called bestbuy support and spent at least 4hrs just trying to figure out how to reroute my stuff. In the end, nothing changed. Good thing they ship via UPS and I was able to reroute via mychoice.

    Best Console of the generation

    I didn't think the ability to go from big screen to handheld would be that big a deal, since I haven't had a handheld system for many years. However, the convenience of being able to play anywhere is huge. The interface is also great, since there's very little loading compared to the Disc systems. Combined with Zelda and Mario, this is now my favorite system in the house, bar none.

    Brings me back to a time when Video Games were simpler. I purchased this for the nostalgia of Mario and Zelda. The games are fun and consuming. Easy to learn use and play. If you aren't comfortable with the controllers you my purchase a more traditional one similar to an xbox controller. I recommend this system.

    We gave this as a Christmas gift to our kids ages 6 and 4. They enjoyed creating their avatars and picked up quick on how to use the console. They have only played Mario Kart 8 but it has been a great for some family competition.

    The Nintendo Switch is a very versitile system. I comes with a dock so the handheld portable system can be projected on your tv. The 2 joysticks detach from the portable system and can be used separately. The games that come with the switch are tiny cards and store easily. The switch loads up fast no long load times.

    My 4 year old son loves it. Connecting it to our TV was simple and the year subscription is SO worth it for $49 bucks.

    It’s just fun. Whether you play with a group or just alone. You can’t beat the Mario games. For all the different games, the price can’t be beat either. I’ve owned 2, and I just keep going back.

    The switch is a nifty device suitable for tv or handheld playing. It’s gives you that choice which makes it especially unique. As someone who enjoys Lego games I never thought I would have a full fledged game I could buy on other systems to play portably on the go. This system gives you the freedom to choose a big screen or taking that experience on the go. I highly recommend it.

    I actually already own a Switch, and am a huge fan of the system. Between Nintendo's offerings and indie titles, the system doesn't leave my side. This purchase was actually a gift to a friend! I found it impossible to find a Switch for the longest, but Best Buy came through for me. Pick up was easy, safe, and simple.

    Even better than expected. Simple to set up and use. My 5 year old has already become a pro at it. I have been really impressed with how sensitive and responsive the Joy-Con controller can be. The screen on the switch itself is also very good quality, although we have been pretty much playing exclusively on the TV.

    It’s been fun playing animal crossing on this. I am seeing a lot of Mario Bros games that have called my attention from my childhood, so looking forward to that for my next purchase. Love that you can connect it onto your tv and also that it is portable. Love taking it out on my backyard and playing while beer sipping.

    We recently purchased this system to provide us with some entertainment during the stay-at-home orders are in place. This is the first game console that I've owned, so I don't have anything to compare it too, but I like how small and unobtrusive it is and the Nintendo games are super fun, particularly the active movement games.

    With the whole pandemic and being quarantined, video gaming in my household is a must. Bought this for my daughter so she can get started playing Animal Crossings with her friends. Not sure how I was able to score this as all major consoles are selling out fast. Can't beat Nintendo's quality on their consoles as well.

    Greatest Gift!!! (That I ever gave myself) the switch is awesome! It brings back the memories of playing Nintendo 64. Just hand held and much easier to take along with you in 2020! You can subscribe and play all the Super Nintendo and Nintendo games. It’s pretty awesome and I will never regret buying this game!

    Bottom Line: the Nintendo Switch offers tons of fun... if you can get your hands on one. Pros: tons of great first and third party games, versatile play modes (handheld, tabletop, TV) and overall just a fun gaming system Cons: hardware not as powerful as other consoles in the generation, currently hard to find Review: Since we’ve been home due to the pandemic, I’ve been looking to game with my five year old. Unfortunately, there aren’t many games I’ve found on the other consoles that are accessible enough for her to play. So, after months of trying to get a Switch, I lucked out during a Best Buy restock and ordered one. So far, the Switch hasn’t disappointed. My daughter and I have been playing Mario Kart, and the single Joycon makes a great controller for her small hands. The auto accelerate (easy mode) also means she’s just in charge of steering, and it’s been a ton of fun playing. I also picked up Link’s Awakening to play by myself. The game is a fantastic remake of the classic GameBoy original, although I do notice the hardware struggles sometimes to keep up with some of the action on-screen.

    Like the NES was to me, the switch will be to my kids. Starting off properly with Mario and jumping into the universe of gaming the games are fun and inventive like it's predecessors. For me, I'm having as much fun as ever. Dusting off the nostalgia and going into new types of games. Highly recommend for the family.
