    A great gaming system that work as well connected to your tv as gaming on the go. The batter while on the go last for a long time and easily dock the system to switch to your TV.

    You can play it on your TV or on the go! I love that you can play this console anywhere. It has great local multiplayer unlike the Xbox and PlayStation. I would definitely recommend this console to a friend!

    The swicth is such a gem. The nintendo exclusive games are honestly underrated by so many and the hybrid design is incredibly ingenuitive. I ended up using the handheld mode almost as much as the docked mode, while still in my own home. Highly recommend. (It is heavily roumered Nintendo will be releasing an "upgraded" version of the switch early 2021. So if you are on the fence it might be worth it to wait) This was out of stock everywhere for so long this year. I checked multiple retailers often to try and get one for months. I was finally able to order one from Best Buy so I was very pleased.

    Excellent game system, and much better than the "lite" version. This item is a must have if you enjoy gaming and Nintendo. We are currently playing Hogwarts legacy. I used to play Neverwinter Nights on PC and I was pleasantly surprised to find it for switch as well as a few older computer games that they have adapted to this console.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I love my Nintendo switch . I like how it can be handheld but get this u can stand the screen up and play or hold it like a handheld. I like how it comes ah a controller piece to make it into a controller . I love how it connects to the TV and we all can play and I I am love how my family and friend s can also connect to me and play.

    We bought this for our children and they absolutely love it. We are mario fans and being able to continue that with the Switch is great. They have a good game selection, the graphics are great, and it's a much better portable gaming device than a tablet. My only concerns with it are that I wish it came with 2 remotes (the joy con remotes are expensive) and that when plugging it into the tv it comes out of the docking station too easy (kids sometimes accidentally knock it over).

    This has been something on my list to buy for a few years now and i finally had the extra money to grab one. I have been playing it like crazy! I already have 30+ hours on super smash bros ultimate. The games that switch offers always will hold a special place in my heart. And to finally have one of my own has been wonderful.

    tldr; Get this, don't get the Switch Lite. It is a great system for almost any type of gamer. I've been a console gamer since 1984 when my parents bought me an Atari 2600. Most of my life I was a die-hard Nintendo fan. While my gaming preferences have evolved over the last 10-15 years (PlayStation fanboy nowadays) I've still owned every Nintendo (and Xbox) system that's been released, even if they were primarily played by my boys. This Switch however is MINE (my son has had one since launch.) I love that it is a cross between a portable and a console. I love that I can play it on the go, or during downtime in another game (ie; waiting for a party to fill in Final Fantasy XIV.) 32GB is NOTHING so make sure to pick up a micro SD card right away (still mad that Sony mad the Vita memory cards proprietary) And if you're like me and prefer to buy digital games vs physical, be warned that it will need a quick internet check each time you start a game (which tbh, there may be a workaround that I haven't looked into yet) which was a bummer when I was planning on playing some Smash Bros. on a recent flight but couldn't... If you are trying to decide between this and the Switch Lite - Get this model! The flexibility of being able to detach the Joy-Cons and to play it seamlessly on your TV is WELL worth the extra cost.

    The Nintendo Switch is amazing. The multiple different playstyles makes for a fun change. There’s a great selection of games available on the eShop, and console games like Super Mario Odyssey are awesome.

    I have loved every second of owning this console. I got it during the start of the pandemic and battled with thousands to get one and finally did after almost 2 weeks of trying with zoolerts and other stock alert sites... Plus refreshing the page frequently on multiple stores with electronic departments. Anyways I don't regret a moment of buying this. Very worthwhile especially at a time like now where I need to be home and focus on something else other than the world. My only regret is not preordering the ACNH special edition switch before it became impossible to get one with people inflating the prices for gain...

    I bought the console as a Christmas present for my son. We have two Wii and Nintendo DS that we have been using for years. The Nintendo Switch can be used like the DS, like a tablet or like the Wii. The controllers are like wiimote, they are aware of your movements, vibrate and make sounds but are way smaller. The "controllers" can be used like one big controller or two independent wiimote... to convert the former to the later it is like playing lego, you dissemble them. Every time, I hope I do not break them in the process because they are not cheap to replace. I wish that there was some form of backward compatibility but no. The wii games format is DVD, the DS some big cards and Switch another format... no way to reuse games from one console to another. We have bought three games and they are fun to play. Resolution is better and more playable. Versatile is what I liked, I can play on the TV or in the car. Not super impressed with the games yet... I found the console expensive when not on sale... Also be aware that if you have more than one kid, they might want each of them their own console. It is a good console for family games. Nintendo has a lot of options for kids and preteens. I will continue to use the WIi but I will not buy wii games equivalent on the switch. If you have a Wii and DS, try it before buying it. If you do not have a wii, buy it...

    I bought this console because how easy it is to “switch” from TV playing to mobile playing. The battery lasts long enough for a good gaming session and overall everything about this console is as expected.
