    The console itself is definitely unique and has made a wave in game consoles that we really haven’t seen in awhile. The ability to SWITCH from handheld to stationary mode is really fun and offers something we have never seen before. The switch offers a great line up of games and a lot of those games have been around since the 90s but Nintendo still finds a way to make the new and fun again and again. The reason that it’s four stars instead of 5 is mainly because of two reasons: 1) The joy on drift that occurs relatively quickly on it. It makes playing game unplayable and annoying. The only solution is to get a new controller or joy on. I don’t dock more points because this is something that happens across all consoles and it really is silly at this point in time to have this be such a big issue for controllers. Just put a better quality product in the sticks and I feel like that would fix the solution. 2) Not a huge deduction in points here is that the resolution isn’t up to modern games. 4K gaming and 120 FPS is the wave forward. However, this doesn’t make the game nor does it make it fun to play, just smoother. It is just a quality of life improvement that I would like to see down the road. But if you want 4K I would get a computer, you get it for the games.

    Picked a switch up for my youngest for Christmas this past year. Easy for him to use and great titles (Mario, sonic, etc). He couldn’t be happier!

    I haven't bought a new console since the N64. Finally, an innovative and flexible gaming console worth buying again, the switch! I love how versatile the platform is, being able to play mulitplayer on the go with or without additional consoles present.

    There’s literally 3 different ways to play , chilling in your room and want to play on the big screen? There’s a console controller just like Xbox and PS. Want to walk around and play ? You can do that too .

    We are thoroughly enjoying our Nintendo Switch with extra controllers and cooperative and group play games. We appreciate the ease in taking it along and setting up wherever we are. The system is super easy and super fun.

    The perfect console for my needs

    I've really needed a console like this. I don't have time to devote an entire weekend to a game and when I do have time I'm usually traveling. For me games have to be something I can put down for a day or 2 and pick back up right where I left off and take with me. Portables like the Vita and 3DS were really the only way to do that and play any kind of decent games (lets face it, the app store and play store are never going to have quality games when everything is competing at a $2-$3 price point and/or are full of ads and in-app purchases.) Portables just aren't ergonomic though and power-wise they've been pretty limited. Well, the Switch fills that gap in spectacular fashion. Pros: Ergonomics. Like all Nintendo consoles since the Wii you get your choice of a variety of control schemes but they've never been this seamless or as functional as the Joycons. The fact that I can take them off in portable mode and sit back in an airplane seat or lay down in bed with the screen in a phone holder over me is awesome. Load times: Solid state flash is back for game media (finally!) and it makes things snappy. There's no install time and running the game off physical media is as fast, if not faster, than running a downloaded game off a SATA hard drive. Interface: In keeping with the load times the interface is as clean and snappy as any good android or iOS tablet and the UI is as direct and intuitive as it gets. This is a huge improvement over the Wii U and Sony and Microsoft would do well to take note. Build quality: Nintendo finally ditched the shiny kiddie plastic feel and made something that feels like an adult device and is marketed to, adults. Cons: No apps or browser (yet?): I'm sure this is coming and they hint at it in the interface but presently there's no netflix, hulu, etc. This is obviously a change that can be made over the air and I have several other devices that also do streaming. I probably wouldn't use a broweser even if it had one since my phone's browser is going to be better and have all my favorites already. The kickstand is a bit too far to the right: unfortunately this means the switch doesn't stand up well on soft or curved surfaces and you'll have to jerry rig something or, perhaps, get a case or stand for it. I don't know if those are coming. It is a unique problem to have among consoles though. Null: These are things that I'm either ambivalent about or cancel themselves out. Games: right now, breath of the wild is an amazing game, it's spectacular. Unfortunately there's not much else out yet. Bomberman, perhaps. There's a lot of stuff coming but at the moment we're kind of just waiting.

    Zelda breath of the wild and Super Mario Odyssey alone are worth buying this system. I haven’t even got to play Mario Kart yet since these are epic games, and rocket league is only $20 digital download. Literally all of my friends have a switch now too.

    This was for my 10 year old, but he never plays it. So my 18 year old now plays on it. She has Animal Crossing and spends hours on it. The games are expensive, but purchased 10 months ago and has been working well.

    The "Un-Console"

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Owning all the major platforms I can say that I was totally surprised at how wrong I was about the Switch. The Switch, in essence, is the "Un-Console" of the Big Three. In no way will it compare to the latest offerings from Xbox or PlayStation, it does best complimenting those consoles. Zelda is a masterpiece, and more great games will be coming. As a main console, it's harder to recommend due to a lack of features and games. As a second or third console, it's truly amazing. It's so nice to be able to take the console with you -- even if that is just to a different room in your house.

    Great product especially since it can convert to a portable device for road trips. Requires some adult assistance to set up. There are free games that can be downloaded for play along with games that can be purchased.

    After trying to get the Switch for months I finally found one from Best Buy. Let's just say the wait was worth it. It is everything that it is advertised to be and great to take for long car rides to past the time!

    Decided to pick this up to replace my Switch. Better battery life, brighter screen. This is the best console Nintendo has put out since the original system when I was a kid.
