It's a shame that Nintendo can never/does never keep up with the demand for their products. I managed to get a pre-order for this console the night it was announced, and have had it since then. Most people will get this for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which is a really, really amazing game. I wasn't interested at first until I watched my sister play her copy. I had never been that into the Zelda franchise before, but now I'm thinking about going back and playing some older titles. Zelda and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are a lot of fun, and the portability of the console is great. I was able to play Mario Kart on the train a few weeks ago on the way home from out of town, which is amazingly cool for a "home" console. I think Nintendo has passed through the growing pains of the Wii U. "Switch" isn't even that terrible of a name, hahaha. All that said, if you're not interested in either of those games, you may wanna hold off on purchasing this. There are other games available, but not "big" ones so much. Splatoon 2 is coming out in July, and the next Super Mario game comes in October. There are also Yoshi, Kirby, and Pokemon games announced for next year. My point is, you could wait on this for more games to come out. There are some great ones coming. Hopefully they get around to adding a Virtual Console to the system as well, so we can play older games on it. If you want to play Zelda and Mario Kart now though, go for it. It's a great console and more amazing games are coming soon. If you just want to play Zelda and no other future games that were announced at E3, pick up a used Wii U and sell it when you're done. Mario Kart 8 is also available on Wii U, and the "Deluxe" subtitle on the Switch version just means that all the DLC from the Wii U release is included. All that is available with the Wii U version, to my understanding (for an additional cost) but the Switch is portable and has a higher resolution. Oh also, it wasn't clear to me from demonstrations or their presentation, but the Switch tablet does have a touch screen. Then the "Joy Con" controllers are detachable, and there's also a wireless Pro Controller option, which is optional, but I recommend it if you've got the money (around $60.)

My daughter loves this console. As an older teen, she’s able to make full use of the multiple ways it can be played. As far as gaming consoles go, it’s one of the best for the money.

My son and I love our Nintendo Switch! Our days are filled with playing and bonding. Definitely has perks for me too...no gym fees because I can play games that get my heart pumping!

You can play any game offline and take it anywhere. Great for groups or families because lots of people can play at once. I think we have 6 controllers and there have been many times that all are in use at once! Awesome that you can connect to a tv or it has its own screen on board for use anyplace - great for keeping kids entertained on road trips! Great range of games available including lots of games with that classic Nintendo charm and cuteness.

Our kids love this system. BUT WE LOVE IT MORE. compact way to travel with and decent battery life.

Absolutely have loved my switch! Can play it at home and on the go!

The coolest game system ever! Got it for my Daugther who is 5 and she loves it ! Perfect for the younger kids . I like how you can play on tv and also in hands ! Very happy with this purchase

We got this for our 12 year old for his birthday in October. He LOVES it! He’s having so much fun with it. The set up was so easy that he did it all himself (with mom and dad’s supervision of course).

Honestly I was skeptical. Another wii like device? BUT I was soooo wrong. This is such an amazing system! I love how everyone wants to try it out and can’t put it down. I couldn’t wait for Xmas to open it. 10/10 would buy again.

The Nintendo Switch is a great product, and this one is no exception! I got it a bit later than it was set to arrive, but that’s no surprise considering the current state of the world. Other than that, this switch is great! A note: this is the second switch I’ve had to order from Best Buy. The first one was defective, and broke within 3 days of getting it. This was heartbreaking, considering it had takes me months of refreshing the website to find one in stock. When I returned it, they couldn’t replace it because they didn’t have any in stock. I was lucky to get this switch soon after, and so far it’s been great! A word of wisdom though: keep your receipts and boxes!

This Console is absolutely fantastic. I have been gaming ever since the Gameboy Advanced SP was first released. Since then I have had almost every single Console that's come out since. I've had the chance to play each of them and I might have to say that this by far is my favorite console to date. The idea was a catch from the start. The ability to go from portable to console in the mere click of a stand is incredibly convenient and clever. This console paid for itself in entertainment within the first week alone. I take it every where with me and with the available game library that Nintendo has for the console it keeps getting better. The only reason i don't give it a full 5 stars is because of the issues that Joy-Cons tend to have over time. Currently my left joy-con has a slight metallic click or sproing whenever I push it to the left. Joy Cons are also known for issues with drift. Otherwise than that this system is fantastic and highly recommended, even for the casual gamers!

My son loves it, I’ve played it too and pretty cool

Took forever to find a Switch online but I am glad I did because it is an excellent console that puts gameplay first and has an awesome selection of new and retro games! A must-own!!

I love my switch! Its really fun although i do recommend getting a case to protect it!

I love how versatile this gaming system is, play on the tv single or multi player play single in hand held or multi player propping the screen up with the kick stand. So many options!

There’s not much you can say about this that people don’t already know. If you have the chance, definitely pick up this model over the lite. Other than some joy-con issues, Nintendo=quality.

My son loves his Nintendo Switch. I gave it to him for his Birthday. He said it was the best birthday present ever

So far I am enjoying my Nintendo switch V2 it has better battery life than the first version. I can’t seem to put it down lol I play it more than my PS4 and Xbox one!!! Great system glad I purchased it!!!

So much fun even I play this Nintendo Switch. We have so much fun as a family playing at home or on the go for my daughters. Will be purchasing another one for the upstairs bedrooms. We love it.

Waited forever to get this because it was out of stock for soo long. I was able to score it and have been playing it almost everyday. Love the fact it can be a handheld device as well.
