So much fun! Got husband this for Christmas and it is a blast. We did not stop playing it all Christmas day and the pickup at Best buy was fast and easy.

Great gaming console, got this for my daughter and she is in love with it.

Wonderful console! And delivery was spectacular Came on time

My friends son enjoying the nineto switch alot. He plays with it every day

These have been scarce for a bit, hopped on an opportunity to buy one; once the Best Buy app notified me. Our family loves all the various Mario Brothers games.

Really like the switch for graphics and games. Not super ergonomic and the device gets heavy to hold after awhile. It plugs into the tv. Also uses standard USB C charger (so works with laptop charger as well). Long battery life. Need to get online plan to use all the features. We've had trouble with the Joy-cons, but Nintendo's warranty covered it.

This game was a gift to my son but the entire family has been having a great time with it. Works great, quick response, so many varied games, versatile and a lot of fun!

Bought this for my son for Christmas last year. He loves it. Great to play at home on the tv or take it on the car on long road trips. Good variety of games.

Excellent gaming, fun to carry around and play with friends

This year's best console and portable gaming console ever! I can play it on my big screen or on it's tablet screen at night time. I am recommending switch to all my friends and colleagues. Lol.

awesome item for friends and family! Mario party always keeps the family feud on!! Haha

Waited my whole life for Nintendo to merge their console and handheld together, and it finally happened. It's portable yet powerful, has great build quality, and just feels nice to play. Best hardware since the Gamecube and I think the Switch surpasses it. Joycons are a joy and playing with two fully separated controller halves make it effortless to lounge around in weird yet comfy positions on the couch. The software has its ups and downs. It's a breath of fresh air to be able to just turn it on and literally be able to start playing within 5 seconds. The way the games are put in the background when the console goes to sleep is great too, you can just pause in the middle of a game and come right back to that moment within seconds. The UI is intuitive and simple in a good way. A couple downsides are mainly related to the software which is constantly improving, but has quite a way to go. As of 3/18/18 the online experience is very lacking (although FREE). This is supposed to change this year when the paid online option launches. There is also no virtual console like the Wii had, so you are only able to play games that are made for the Switch - no way to play the classics you bought on the Wii like Super Mario World. It would be amazing to have access to a library like the virtual console would provide - all on the go. No plans yet but there is hope for the future! Finally, the biggest problem I have is a lack of cloud saves. Everyone else can do them, why can't Nintendo? I'm paranoid about my Zelda and Mario saves because I've put so many hours into them and honestly would be heartbroken if my console died. Overall the downsides aren't even enough to take away a star, I'm having way too much fun with this thing.

This thing has been tons of fun the past several months of ownership (got it in May 2020 - revewing in Dec 2020). The only warning i'll give is - beware, it's EASY to go well beyond the $300 base price buying accessories and such. So plan out what extras you think you'll need (extra dock, pro controller, extra joycons, carrying case, online membership, etc). Still a good value overall. Also of note, in the 6+ months of ownership, i haven't had any joycon drifting issues. BUt i also don't use the joycons/handheld mode that often - mostly pro controller in docked mode.

This is definately worth the money. Love that I can play on the tv, then quickly go portable when wanted. As a huge bonus this system is so easy to switch Tvs with.

EASY SET UP, I ENJOY THIS WITH MY GRANDKIDS, WOULD BUY AGAIN

Got mine on sale, and we enjoy every second my family and myself play it.

I was able to borrow my friend's Switch a while back to play Zelda: BotW and it was an absolute blast. I had so much fun, when I saw it sitting on the shelf at BestBuy one day, I went ahead and grabbed it (they were sold out everywhere in my town, so it was a happy coincidence). I've used it for a few weeks now and am a huge fan! Obviously, Zelda is great, but the console itself is pretty awesome. I like the build quality, it seems pretty sturdy. I've taken it on a few trips with me and I'm definitely careful with it, but I also don't feel like I'm going to break it (or the controllers) taking it out to put it through the x-ray machine. I LOVE that I can throw it in the dock to charge, play for a while, and then when my wife wants the TV to watch her shows, I can just grab it and continue playing. It's super-convenient. More-so on that point, I like how you can pick it up; hit the button and just start playing immediately wherever you left off! I never have to load the game or wait for anything to boot. It also has really great battery life (for me at least) and I've only run it down once or twice on longer airplane rides. I have a new MacBook Pro, so I can simply reuse it's charger on the go (or plug it directly into the MBP) so I didn't need to buy an additional one. That's pretty handy. I honestly can't think of any cons. Being a PS4 gamer mostly (and then switching to desktop recently) the biggest thing I've had to get used to is the controllers and the button placement, but after a while it feels pretty natural. Also, I am still playing Zelda, but once I finish it, I'm honestly not seeing any games that I would immediately buy. I'm hoping by the time I finish, they will have a better selection of games to choose from; but I think I'll be on Zelda for quite a while.

good to use when traveling, keeps me entertained while on the plane.

I've been a owner of a Nintendo console since the introduction of the SNES. The Nintendo Switch is well worth it as it provides entertainment that the whole family could enjoy like Nintendo's previous consoles. In the age of online gaming Xbox and Playstation have limited games with two plus, local multi-player. That isn't the problem here when you can picks from a great amount of products that'll allow four people to play in the same room. If you're tired of it hogging the big screen you have the option to play games on the portable screen mode. You can't go wrong buying this.

Excellent handheld system, love the ability to swap from handheld to tv.
