Gave to grandson and is enjoying the time playing it

This was a gift for someone in my household. Overall it’s great. One thing I find a problem is the docking station. It stands up right and this means you need at least 8 inches of space if you put it in a media cabinet. The other problem (?) is it comes with almost no documents or instructions. Not a show stopper, but there you go.

Wonderful console capable of handheld gaming on the go. It's the perfect blend of both options. I primarily do my gaming at home, but the ease of taking it outside or bringing it with me when I travel has been a pleasure. I've owned it for more than a year, and my favorite aspect is being able to easily include other people in on games with the detachable joy cons controllers and the overall versatility of the console.

The Nintendo Switch has been even more awesome than I expected. I initially thought the joy cons were too small, but after playing with them for a while, especially attached to the switch, they feel great! I actually play Zelda in handheld mode more often than I play it docked, which is the opposite of what I expected it to be. It really is the perfect combination of a handheld device and a living room console. Superb job Nintendo! Keep it up!

Very cool. Handheld gaming systems have come along way since the original GameBoy!

Thanks Best Buy for coming through. Great experience with customer service and was able to locate one for me. Sold out everywhere but worth the wait!!!

We needed extra joy cons so that more than two people could play together.

Absolute Fun! Great selection of games and bunch of Eshop indie games for under $20. Kids love it.

Legendary games, best couch multiplayer console hands down.

What's not to like about the Switch?! We did have an issue with pickup and incorrect notification being sent but in the end it worked out.

great deal. The only place you can get one for list price

I’ve always been a Nintendo fan, especially for their portable consoles. So when I saw they came out with a hybrid portable console I knew I wanted it. I waited till the library of games had built up enough and pulled the trigger. The variety of games for the console is its strong suit. It has everything from original games and Wii U ports all the way to great indie titles and amazing pc ports. The only criticism I have is the joy cons are awkward. The work ok for single player but are almost unusable for multiplayer. Portable mode is the only time I find myself using them. Otherwise I use a power a controller (similar to the Nintendo pro controller). This makes gaming sessions on the tv far more tolerable. If you’re a Nintendo fan this is a must have. If you’re not it makes a pretty decent alternate console for gaming on the go.

I'm only reviewing digdug since this is the only game I have played and the only reason I bought it. Plusses: It is exactly like the arcade game look wise you can set it to have three or five lives (and you'll need the extra lives after reading the negative) Unlike the Wii version if you turn the game off you can resume the highest level you played next time you play it. The BIG negative is the navigation is awful. Especially at the higher levels. Works great in the WII version but on this version the joy sticks don't navigate correctly all the time. I've even tried buying a third party larger joystick and using the arrow keys instead of the joystick on both that and the original controllers with no luck.

Well worth the money comes with everything that is needed for tv hook up

Love the switch and love that Best Buy had one ready for pick up.

My nephew loves it so much this was for his birthday.

Fun for the whole family and game nights or just playing by yourself!!

We have greatly enjoy this product. Great graphics and game play. My boy is looking forward to getting smash bros and the legend of zelda to play next.

Great for all ages. Fun games. Easy to use. Lots of games to play

I remember as a kid wishing I could take my games on the go. Sure there were great handheld gaming devices like the Gameboy Advance, but what about taking the games you play at home on the big screen with you? With the Nintendo Switch, I can finally do that and it is a game changer. Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odessey are some of the best games I have ever played and I would buy the Nintendo Switch for those two games alone. If I want to play Breath of the Wild while I am on vacation I can simply lift my switch out of the dock and the console automatically switches to portable mode. It is a pretty magical experience! In addition to all the great Nintendo games, the Switch breathes fresh life into old games too with surprisingly good 3rd party support. You can now play great games like Skyrim, Stardew Valley, and Fortnite on the go! While I love the Nintendo Switch, there is some room for improvement. Some people have had issues with the dock scratching the screen. This has not been a problem for me because I installed a glass screen protector on mine. I wish there was an easier way to connect the switch to a TV when away from home. There are 3rd party adapters that can do this but Nintendo really should make one. Finally, Nintendo really needs to bring back the virtual console. It would be awesome if I could play old NES, SNES, and Gameboy games on the Switch. Overall I am extremely happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend this console to anyone. It is a great console for family/party play as well as individual play.
