    I definitely don't regret buying this. It's my first Nintendo console since the 1990's, and am really happy with it. I've come to really appreciate indie games and the ability to play them wherever I want to. I will say that a lot of AAA video games will run and look better on another console, but I don't think that's really the point of the switch. It has plenty of other games and functions that can't be found elsewhere.

    We bought switch for our family of 3 (Dad, Mom, 7 yr old Daughter) We picked up the mario games (World, Kart), just dance, donkey kong, smash bros, and zelda. As a family, we are able to play Mario games (world and kart), DK, Smash, and Dance. Lots of fun! I have to admit, I love getting free time to play Zelda when no one else wants to play! It's just an amazing single player adventure!! Really happy we own this system, and very happy with all the games we have for it!

    At first it took my son some time to get into the Switch. I would have to keep reminding him of all the money that went into that system that he begged for. It took awhile but now that’s all he plays lol. Now I have to remind him that he has an Xbox One and all the money he just spent on these games n stuff..... so funny The best thing I like about the Nintendo Switch is all the different ways it can be played and the fact that you can take it with you.

    Switch is awesome - should you get full or lite?

    First off let me say if you are even considering buying a switch by now, at this point just pull the trigger, it is worth it 100% You probably already know that, so let me just add the few things that might help direct you to whether or not you want to buy a full Switch or Switch light. Nintendo Switch is the best Gameboy I have ever owned! I really liked the Gameboy Advance and the 3DS systems because of how lightweight and portable they were. This is the only area where the switch falls a little short, but the display and game play is so much fun that I honestly don't mind the extra weight. Just definitely have to be more careful / case my switch as I love to play in the car or on any type of commute. I purchased a screen protector and it has 100% save my screen multiple times. Only other complaint is that some games make is easy to "share" the console, and other games make it seem like everyone playing the same switch needs their own and own copy of the game. If the above items will make you not enjoy you switch, then I'd go for the switch lite. I have the full version and while I sometimes enjoy playing on the TV I use it mostly in handheld. Like I said I loved the Gameboys though and don't play other consoles so handheld is really the way to my gaming heart.

    Been a big fan of game consoles in my life, primarily Nintendo and Sony. The Switch is a game changer for consoles. The ease of having it on the TV and switching to 'on-the-go' is unparalleled. This bundle was particularly great, since it comes with the store credit. Even if you're a novice to video games, this is a great, family-friendly, easy-to-use gaming option for everyone.

    While the Switch doesn’t have the high level graphics that the other current systems do I love the versatility that it offers. Being able to grab it from the TV on the way out the door is amazing and the docking system works seamlessly. You also get access to a lot of great Nintendo titles. If you’re a family on the go this is a great entertainment option.

    We already have multiple consoles in our household, but the Switch is unique. There are the exclusive Nintendo only titles and the major feature - portability! It is slightly larger than a phone, but smaller than a tablet. The joy-cons (controllers) detach giving you a feel of a console (compared to touching a tablet screen).

    Another hit console for Nintendo

    Nintendo has always leaned on the younger, lower spec'd approach to gaming. This is no exception. What they have done within those bounds is deliver a solid platform. The flexibility of the controls and screen is a plus. The main reason I bought this is I wanted a better gaming experience than what is on mobile, but didn't want to be locked down to my tv in my basement just to play games. So I really like the portability of the console. It also has games that I as an adult can play and my kids. It has been fairly intuitive for even my 5 year old son to pick up. One thing I would have liked is for the display to be a bit higher in resolution.

    I ordered online and picked up next day due to good stocking. It's everything I read about it to be and so much more. Love options to play on the go or on a big screen tv which is a great experience. Graphics are super and play is again super also. I recommend both the. Nintendo switch and Best Buy.
