Customers are saying

Customers value the exceptional portability and overall performance of this console, which many users consider to be a top-tier handheld gaming experience. While the extensive game library and long-lasting battery life receive significant praise, some users find the controller size and Joy-Con design to be less than ideal. Additionally, while the system is generally well-regarded for its fun factor and competitive pricing, a few customers have expressed a desire for expanded storage options.

    I was a latecomer to the Switch. I did the whole GameCube and Wii thing. Skipped the Wii-U and (until now) the Switch. Mainly because I assumed it would be Nintendo's usual *slightly less powerful* console offering that they had done for the previous 3 generations. While it's true that in many of the titles shared between the consoles, you probably aren't going to be able to match the graphics quality of the PS4 or XBOX One in a side by side comparison, games can be beautiful and fun without needing photo realistic models. Nintendo has always had a way of taking its exclusives and flagships and producing visually stunning artistic landscapes (Zelda is just awesome) and pairing them with original scores that perfectly convey the emotions and mood of the moment. Most of the titles available on the more powerful systems are also available for the Switch (The Witcher 3, Red Dead Online, CoD, Battlefield). There may be reduced graphics compared to the others, but only enough to allow smooth gameplay. In my opinion, unless you are playing the same title on multiple consoles, the differences are unnoticeable while immersed in playing. The fact you can dock/undock without stopping your game, its compact size paired with a large screen, along with all the other little conveniences it has far outweigh a few slightly lower res shadows or textures.

    Bought this from my daughter. Feedback from her as well as me playing with it. Great handheld but controllers too small for in tv gaming, unless you buy another controller and the holder for it. Needs more tv app as it only supports hulu. Updates hopefully will correct that.

    Great and easy console to play and share time with family or alone. I really like the size, but the controllers are too little to play by itself. If you buy this product to play with a second person you will definitely need an additional set of joy-con with the joy-con grip.

    What more to say. This is the best console for my 10 and 6 year old. We have about 12 games by now and extra controllers. We love it. Animal Crossing is their favorite and they play it everyday. Hardware is marvelous and updates are easy to install. Everything is pretty intuitive and kids figure it all out pretty quick. Just let the adults set up the docking station to the tv.

    I purchased this as a gift for someone that is very familiar with the Switch already. The quality and fun of this console is really high. I slightly prefer the regular Switch over the Switch Lite because it can be plugged into into television. This updated version has a better battery life per charge and everything else about it is just as great as the original console version.

    Great gift for my son and husband. They enjoyed using the switch. We got to play games that we like using the switch. I also like how you can carry it around with you so it's great for long drives to keep the family entertained.

    Personally, I have never been a big Nintendo fan though we did have a Nintendo U. From my experience, this is the best Nintendo gaming system ever developed. I do love the dual option of handheld or TV screen play. However, like with most gaming systems you end up needing a bunch of extra items that drive the cost up, not even counting the games. I have not tried playing with two controllers in the super controller holder which may make things better, but using the single small controller was difficult for me. The controller was too small for my hands and made them hurt. Probably not a problem for kids or adults with smaller hands. However, when the whole family plays we need all four controllers that we own so I have to use the little one or we have to purchase even more accessories.

    honestly didn’t want to buy one but my husband convinced me to get one and i love it. i love that it’s portable and how you can also connect it to the tv. we switch from my parents house and our house very often and it’s super convenient because you don’t have to bring so many things with you. it’s lightweight and doesn’t require too much to connect to the tv. i probably play it more than my child does

    I always wait a year or 2 for new consoles to allow a healthy selection of games. The advantage to Nintendo is there are exclusives that are high quality. This is not my only console, but I get and enjoy every Nintendo console (including Wii U) and the entire family and all my friends enjoy. Surprisingly I find myself split 50/50 on the docked and handheld mode. It's a more useful feature than I anticipated.

    This system does so much. Controlers take some time to get use to but by far the best nintendo since the wii. its porable with a long battery life. Happy with my purchase. 4stars because No game comes with the system but is a decent price for a console that can do so much.
