Nintendo switch is great and kid friendly fun to play with the family

I'm still more of a PlayStation guy, but the handheld/console hybrid thing is really fun, and there are some really great exclusives that you just can't get anywhere else. It'll never be my first choice for multi-platform titles due to limitations in graphics and online play, but for gaming while traveling, easily playing old games from my childhood, or diving into the odd exclusive, the system really does a great job.

With the Nintendo switch, Nintendo really has created the leading hand held on the market. Well you can play it on the TV, I find myself playing it just on the hand held most of the time. It’s a lot of fun and I don’t regret my purchase at all .

Amazing product. Haven't stop playing for days. Once you start playing you can't stop

Easy to use good selection apps. Portable use n charging easy

We bought this for ours boys for Christmas. Set up was a breeze and they love it. It's cool because it can be used as a handheld game and also a console system. I also purchased the screen protector and case to carry it in. Very pleased so far.

Switch is one the of the best consoles, you can play anywhere plus on tv, they are getting a lot of support from 3rd parties and you can play games like the new doom on this console (of course in lower resolution).

Of course this thing is gonna be great. It's Nintendo. They've been making casual gaming great since the '80s. I'm probably biased having grown up in the hay day of Nintendo, but whatever. I love this thing.

The portability and classic console setup is the perfect combination. Very fun to use and I specially like the ability to have different users so it makes it easy to share with friends and siblings.

This was a gift for our son, but honestly it is fun for the whole family (parents too). The games for it stay family friendly and the convenience of a "get up and go" system where my son can take it with him on long trips easily is really nice.

Exactly what I was needing, I am really enjoying using this product!

It's such a great console to have. Very versatile, and the battery is better on this version than gen 1. I recommend getting traditional controllers though, since the provided ones are not at all ergonomic.

Nintendo outdid itself with the Switch. The portable/dockable concept works unbelievably great. The device feels a little heavy, but I suppose its as light as they could make it. And, of course, Mario, Zelda are must have games for the console.

I am so impressed with the Switch. The ability to play full games on the go and pick up instantly at home is fantastic. The graphics are great and the gameplay is fluid. If you love Nintendo, don’t hesitate on this. A great product in every way!

I bought this for my 13 year old son for Christmas. He loves that he can take his games on the go, but the Switch can also be used as a tablet for movies on the go when connected to a hotspot or WiFi! He loves it!

I love it! Bought one to play video games with my husband while we stay indoors this winter. Already used up the 32GB memory and had to buy an SD card to put in it for more games but its all good.

My household is full of Nintendo fanboys, but we know the Wii wasn't a smash hit. We liked the Wii U, but LOVE the Switch! You can play it as a console or a handheld and who couldn't use the versatility of that?! We bought one of each controllers and like them all. No it can't do fancy tricks like the PS4 and doesn't have a ton of storage, but the versatility makes up for that in my opinion. No longer must everyone suffer through watching my kindergartener play the same level of Skylanders repeatedly, or my husband exploring the endless world of Zelda. With the Switch, when we want to watch tv all you do is take the handheld out of the cartridge and continue playing without missing a beat, and Tada! the tv is free! Also, the whole system can be packed up and taken to grandma's or on vacation. Don't forget the perk of being able to play Nintendo exclusive games! The game cartridges are tiny much like the DS so they also are very portable, especially if you buy a carrying case. My only negative critique is that in true Nintendo style, there are limited games on release. We lucked out that the two we were most excited about came out first, Zelda and Imaginators, but we can't wait for some other releases!

My son loves his switch!!! So do my husband and I!! Lots of fun!!

The game is fantastic for the price point! Very happy with my purchase!

Nintendo has always been an innovator when it comes to video game systems, and the Nintendo Switch is no exception. The Switch has several great features going for it. While not as powerful as the Playstation 4 or Xbox One, the Switch is still more than powerful enough to output great video quality. When in hand-held (mobile) mode, the Switch runs at 720p. When docked, the Switch can reach up to 1080p. Notice I said up to. Not all games run at 1080. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for example, runs at 900p. Don't let this minor dip in resolution deter you from playing on the Switch, however. The average user will not notice any hit to the visual quality of the games. If I had not read about the resolution, I would have thought it was 1080p quality. Like any new game system, the game library is small. This is not enough to dock points from the review, however. Zelda is such a great game to keep players occupied for a while until new games are released. Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Super Street Fighter, Mario Oddsey, and many other great games are soon to come. The portability of the Switch is my favorite feature of the system. It offers players the ability to take the fun with them on the go. Games can be played on your big screen when the system is placed in the Switch docking station. The docking station even charges your system. When removed from the dock, the system can play games on the Switch's large screen. The screen is larger than that of the Nintendo 3DS XL screens, and the 720p resolution is more than enough to deliver amazing image quality. The one minor flaw with the system is that it fits a bit snug when placed in the docking station. There are some rubber grips inside the dock that hold the Switch game system in place. While it may not seem like a big deal at first, over time docking and undocking the system will smudge (and possibly scratch) the screen of the Switch. Some easy and cheap solutions to resolve this issue are to 1) buy a glass screen protector for the Switch screen, or 2) buy a felt slip-cover to place over the wall of the docking station to prevent rubbing by the Switch. Although this is a minor annoyance, once you install the above mentioned solution, the issue will no longer be of concern. In closing, I think that the Switch is a great system and I see myself using it as my primary game system. I'll still use the PS4 and Xbox One, but the portability and game library are what will keep me playing. It's great for road trips and playing at home.
