This bundle is a great value for those that have yet to experience the Switch. It's packed with the current revision of the Switch with extended battery life on the slightly improved processor. You also get a digital download of one of the best Switch games, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
The system itself has 32GB of internal storage, with 26GB usable and this game downloaded will take roughly 6.7GB. I'd highly recommend grabbing at least a 128GB microSD card as well as save game data MUST be saved to the internal memory, whereas digital games can be saved on microSD, and 128GB for roughly $20 will go a long way.
You also get a three month trial of Nintendo Switch Online, Nintendo's online service. It gets you access to dozens of NES and SNES games to play solo or online with friends. You also get occasional demoes or discounts for games, as well as it is required to play most online games. After the free demo consider grabbing the Family membership as you get access for seven profiles, so if you have more than one family member playing online everyone doesn't have to share the same profile.
But all around this is an absolute great way to get started with Switch. A few games I'd highly recommend are The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild (huge adventure game), Luigi's Mansion 3 (puzzle platformer), Mario Odyssey (amazing Mario adventure), and Splatoon 2 (very fun online shooter for all ages). There are many, many more games, but these are unique and must play experiences for all ages.

The switch is a phenomenon machine, you can play it literally anywhere and at any time you want, I have a PS5 but when I got the Switch mostly played on it. Mainly because games on the Switch are pretty chill, and I'm not looking for a super intensive feeling after a long day of work, so the Switch my go to. And if you don't a switch, What are you doing, get it, and you won't regret it, trust me, I'm a real person, real reviewer and I honestly love the switch.

Love the switch! Battery life and graphics on the device are pretty good. The only thing I wish it had was more storage. Even though it's not expensive to buy an SD card, I would think the device would have more internal storage that can hold up to more than 4 online games.

It’s a must buy bundle

I bought one as my son was very happy with his. I originally bought this Switch to play Mario Kart and Animal Crossing. I've since moved on to other games, but this is definitely a fun little system. It doesn't hold a lot of games, so a SD card is definitely needed. When I first bought this, Nintendo was having an issue with the joysticks drifting. I had to buy an extra joycon. I'm not sure if they are having that issue 2 years after I bought the system. All that said, there are talks of the Nintendo Switch 2 coming in 2024, so you might want to hold off buying this if you want the latest Nintendo system.

Switch or Xbox One S? There are reasons for each.

I have purchased this several months after purchasing an Xbox One S (all digital). I am giving this 4 and not 5 stars for several reasons.
The positives:
1. It is a really nice form factor.
2. Unboxing is a real thrill.
3. My local library has Switch games, so I will be able to play those without buying them. Consider doing that, especially for games that you solve and "play once".
4. Going mobile will be fantastic when we actually travel (still months away). Do you really need this?
The Negatives;
1. The game that comes with it (Mario Kart) is virtually the same game I played 4+ years ago on the Wii U. I would NOT consider this to be a $60 value.
2. The Nintendo monthly plan offers far less than the Microsoft one that actually has 100 games you can play including popular titles for one cost. This plan has really old games (pre-wii) and few freebees that are not really super compelling (except the Tetris one). I got the Xbox One S for my daughter for over a $100 less than this Switch and we can play far more games for a very reasonable monthly fee.
3. Cross platform games are all watered down compared to Xbox and PS4. I was excited about playing FIFA, but it is not nearly as good as those platforms according to the reviews.
4. I would not say this is a great value.
I would say compare this to an Xbox One S Digital Version (older generation) which is cheaper and ask yourself if the ability to go mobile and have a handful of compelling games (Mario, Animal Crossing, etc) that are only available on this platform is worth it, knowing that cross platform games (especially EA Sports games) will likely be worse.
For me, having purchased both, the Xbox is really a better value overall, but getting games to borrow from the library make it worth it to have this system.
Also, a little $30 savings tip: If you do get either this or the Xbox, get the WIRED extra controller if it is on sale. It works 100% of the time (no battery worries), and at least one person can close enough to the console to not make it a big deal in gameplay. The Nintendo one that I got has a 10 foot cord with a velcro strap to make is shorter. Get that one.

Great Portable Handheld

This gaming system is a great little hand held hand set that I got my son for his Birthday this June in 2021. The gaming system was so hard to find let alone get into my hands so when I saw that Best Buy had it I bought it early in November 2020 for my son's upcoming birthday in June. My son has loved the gaming system and We love how it is very portable and has lots of features. My son loves all the games that are offered for the gaming system and how it can go from handheld to the big screen tv by taking the controllers off. It is well built and can with stand a lot of abuse as my son is not easy on his gaming systems and it has held up. It is a must buy for parents that have kids.

Fun and versatile system

Great system. When I bought it for the kids, I didn't really know what a Switch was all about. The versatility is great.
As far as the controllers...the rechargeable battery life is good. Make sure that you put the sliding hand pieces on the corrrect way (+ with + and - with -) otherwise they can get stuck and are difficult to separate.
MarioKart is quite fun and offers up a bunch of different play options.
Set up takes some time, so its not just plug and play...but that's probably par for the course with systems now a day. My last system was a Playstation 1, ha!
Good family fun.

As an Xbox owner I wasn’t sure I was going to play this system as much as I actually have. It was a birthday gift from my amazing wife who took a chance and purchased this system for me/us. Well I have played almost every day since it was given to me. I look forward to our Friday nights once the kids have been put to bed we crack open some drinks and play Mario Kart 8. It’s a great purchase. I talked about it much my brother bought one for his kids and he plays it more than them.
