The Nintendo Switch is truly a game-changer in the world of gaming. I have been a proud owner of this versatile console for quite some time now, and it has exceeded my expectations in every way. One of the standout features of the Nintendo Switch is its unique hybrid design, allowing me to seamlessly switch between handheld and TV modes. The transition is smooth, and the graphics remain stunning no matter which mode I choose. This versatility makes it perfect for both solo gaming sessions and multiplayer fun with friends and family. The game library for the Nintendo Switch is vast and diverse, catering to a wide range of gaming preferences. Whether you're into action, adventure, racing, or party games, the Switch has something for everyone. The exclusives, in particular, are top-notch and showcase the creativity and innovation that Nintendo is known for. The Joy-Con controllers add another layer of enjoyment to the gaming experience. The motion controls, HD rumble, and responsive buttons enhance immersion and make gaming feel more interactive. The ability to detach the Joy-Cons for local multiplayer is a fantastic touch, creating opportunities for impromptu gaming sessions with friends. Nintendo's commitment to constant updates and improvements is evident, ensuring that the Switch evolves with the gaming landscape. The user interface is user-friendly, and features like the eShop and online multiplayer enhance the overall gaming experience. In terms of portability, the Switch's compact size and the option to carry it wherever I go have transformed the way I play games. It's perfect for on-the-go gaming without sacrificing the quality of the gaming experience.

I bought this Nintendo Switch for my teenage daughter because all of her friends had one and she wanted to be able to play the same games with them. It’s been a great way for her to connect and play with friends. Setup was easy, performance has been smooth, and she uses it both handheld and docked. Overall, it’s been a great purchase and she’s really enjoyed it.

Bought it for my sister and she is in love with it and can’t put it down.

I was trying many websites to buy this gift. I paid and ordered through a different site and for whatever reason it cancelled and asked me to start the process over again. I started checking options again and was able to easily process an order through Best Buy and receive the gift with plenty of time to spare. Thanks Best Buy!

In terms of raw horsepower (CPU, graphics, whatever) the Nintendo Switch is far behind the current generation of consoles like the XBox One. But, the Switch is a unique device. As a handheld, it is quite powerful (the latest iteration nearly doubles the handheld's battery life, addressing the Switch's greatest weakness). This allows you to play the same game on your TV and keep playing it as you take it out with you --- a unique ability. Most importantly, there is a staggering array of software available for it. Software is what makes or breaks a console, no matter how good it is. For example the Zelda game "Breath of the Wild" is a visual stunner with a huge open world. And this is the first portable system that has the full version of Skyrim available for it (the reason I bought it --- a high quality port of Skyrim with the 3 add-on packs). Nintendo has also done high quality ports of other gems from older consoles such as "Mario Kart 8" as well as a lot of new titles such as "Super Smash Brothers Ultimate" or "Luigi's Mansion 3". In addition,their digital store has a lot of quality indie games such as Stardew Valley. Also, if you purchase the Nintendo Switch Online membership ($20/year) Nintendo also gives you a large selection of NES and SNES classic games. The membership is worthwhile for that alone. Basically, because Nintendo is ONLY selling the Switch as a current console (the 3DS is on its way out), all of their best software goes to the one console. And that gives developers strong incentives to bring their best titles over as well. If you want a wide variety of games, the Switch is a good choice. If you want THE best console graphics or performance, obviously the Switch isn't for you.

I had my doubts about Nintendo Switch at first, but after buying it and playing it for a few weeks, I have to say it's an amazing console with really good graphics and games. The games are out of this world fun (Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart) with simple controls and great game play. The versatility of the console and controllers is unlike any gaming system and that's really the best part about it. When someone else wants to watch TV, just simply disconnect the Switch and play it in portable mode. Certain games have motion sensing features for the Joy-Con controllers, similar to the Wii. The screen on portable mode also looks great, and I can't really tell is 720p. Battery life is reasonable too and lasts 3-6 hours depending on the intensity of the game. I haven't really had any major problems with the Switch, and I am very happy I bought one.

I had been looking for this particular system as a requested gift for my 7-yr old grandchild. Although this system can out a year earlier, my grandchild was too young I thought to have this gaming system. Boy was I ever wrong. Not only was she old enough, but she has no problem opening and setting up the system by herself. Not only has she shown her mom how to play, she has defeated most of the adults that she plays with. Another good thing about this system is that it can be broken down and used as a take-a-long game system which she can play by herself. I am glad I purchased this system as it can be played with others or by one's self. I would highly recommend for anyone that loves to play games.

We have had this for a few months so far, and we really enjoy having it. We were pretty late to jumping on the bandwagon for this system, but I am glad we were able to finally get out own. It figures that when we do get it, they announce the future release of the Nintendo 2 being in the works for next year. Just our luck! I do hope that they continue to support this system for a long while yet, because we were really frustrated with the cutoff with the Nintendo 3DS store. Using this in it's dock is streamline and easy. I will say that it can be a bit uncomfortable after a while, when holding it as a portable system, though. The controllers sit nice, but the little bit of wiggle is enough to be noticeable. We are still getting adjusted to it, but I do prefer to use the controller on the handheld attachment that comes with it. I was hoping to snatch the Mario edition that was around at the same time, but unfortunately they were sold out at my local store! We do not have very many games for it, but so far the ones we have played have been really fun so far! Graphics are great, no issues with lagging, sound, etc! *knock on wood* We did purchase a larger storage card so that way we could have more space for downloading games, when we are able to. I will say that the storage is a bit lacking when you consider the sheer size of some the games you can play on this system. So just please keep that in mind! Mind you, you do not have to get the branded Nintendo SD Card, as we just picked up a different brand SD card from another store. It works just fine, so far.

When I first heard about Nintendo's new console code-named the "Nintendo NX", I was skeptical regarding what Nintendo was going to introduce next after the lackluster sales and game output of the Nintendo Wii U. As time went on, Nintendo introduced various trailers and Nintendo Directs which explained about their new console the Nintendo Switch. After watching several hours of various video content regarding the Switch, I was still a bit skeptical. How powerful will their console be? How will the joy-con controllers feel in the hand? What is the battery life of the console while in handheld mode? These among other questions were raised. Fast forward to today. I am pleasantly surprised with this new Nintendo console. The joy-con controllers actually fit well in your hands. I have fairly large man-hands and I had no discomfort while using the joy-cons with the included wrist strap. The wrist strap adds more bulk to the joy-cons and also gives the shoulder buttons a more profound feeling. In this past month of using the Switch, I have found myself using the console in handheld mode 95% of the time. It feels just right in that mode. As for battery life, I can say that I get a solid 3 hours while playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It takes about 2 hours or so ti fully charge using the included USB-C wall adapter. I have been surprised with how great games look on the Switch. With me being primarily a PC gamer, the visuals of games like Zelda look very nice. Sure, it's no console capable of 4k resolution extreme photo-realistic visuals, but it definitely looks better than previous Nintendo consoles. I used the Switch once in desktop mode with my best friend. We set the tablet portion of the Switch on his car's dash and let the kickstand out to keep it propped up. We both played a good bit of Fast RMX on the Switch using the joy-cons. I have to say it was a flawless experience. It is VERY nice being able to have a large size screen on the Switch to be able to play multiplayer titles anywhere. I do believe this is what Nintendo is going for with the Nintendo Switch. Multiplayer gaming anytime, anywhere. Overall, I have to say I have greatly enjoyed my time using the Switch and I will definitely be buying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 when they release. Oh, and Super Mario Odyssey when it finally releases this holiday season. I highly recommend this game console if you want a home console experience available to you anywhere.

I've been wanting a switch for a while, and I finally got around to buying one. It's a great console with the option to either play handheld or on the TV. The versatility of the switch (as its name suggests) is definitely one of its strong points. My only complaints is the battery life is not always the best on handheld and the charging port is on the bottom (which makes it difficult when you're trying to use the kickstand in handheld mode). But, these in no way impact how much I enjoy the console. I'm really glad I bought it, and I recommend it to anyone (whether you play individually or with friends/families) as it is a great, enjoyable device that has really kept me entertained while in lockdown due to COVID-19.

Nintendo Switch is awesome and so much fun. You can play on hand held or tv mode. It is portable and the graphics are amazing. 1080 p and flawless. If you have any problems with your Switch call Nintendo and they will take great care of you. Had an issue with our dock and they fixed it for us. Anyone can pick this up and play it. Too many good games for this console, and many good ports. Had to buy a second one because the spouse is hogg. Nintendo has put out an update that now allows you to transfer your save data and profile to the new switch with out loosing anything. You will have to re-download eshop games however as they are only one unit. Recommend getting the 128 GB Micro Sd Card, pro controller and a tempered glass screen protector because the screen is plastic on the switch and could scratch. You will be very happy.

Set up was really easy. And I still have memory after all these years. My only issue were updates for the downloaded games take long and for the system. My joy cons I never had a issue with or need to replace. I love how I can use it on the tv with the dock or have it set up well I am chilling in bed.

Bought a second Switch since our first one is very popular in the household and often taken on travels. Still the best mobile gaming device for casual play on all the fun Nntendo franchise games.

I haven't owned a portable gaming system since the Nintendo Gameboy Advance and I have to say the Nintendo Switch definitely delivers that old nostalgia of my childhood. I wanted to get a Switch when it first came out, but I decided to wait until Nintendo released the second version with improved battery life. I like that they have many of the new popular games available to play like NBA 2k, but they also have the classic games for free like Super Mario Bros. My only complaint is that the console itself doesn't have much storage, and you have no choice but to purchase a micro SD card for extra storage which can be expensive. In the future, Nintendo should include a micro SD card with the system.

I am very happy with the Nintendo Switch Neon Blue and Neon Red. It is easy to set up, the screen looks great, and the Joy-Con controllers are comfortable to use. I like that I can play both at home on the TV and on the go in handheld mode. The game selection is excellent, and the battery life is good for everyday gaming. Overall, it is a fun, versatile console that I would definitely recommend.

I was hesitant to make this purchase because of the price. I bought this for my four year old son who is on the spectrum. It was very easy to hook up. I love that it has the docking station so you can either play on the tv or on the console. It is much easier for younger ones to play on the tv with using the controller. My son absolutely loves it. I get to enjoy all the old games that I played as a kid while learning the new games alongside my son. This is much loved by the whole family. The sound quality, picture quality and speed is top notch.
