Its cool that it can be handheld or connected to tv. But for a system that its generally kid friendly id recomend getting a case and screen protector because it feels very slippy and fragile in the hands. A good protector shell plus a screen protector will make it a tight fit in the dock but the added protection is worth it. There is not much storage on the device.

If you're interested in buying one you likely already know what you're buying. I'll say that I've had no bad experiences with the Switch and bought this one for my girl. This is the new model. Better battery life and such. Enjoy

My daughter can take the fun anywhere , excellent device for everybody.

Great gaming system, easy to sent up and create a child profile without access to online.

It’s got a great selection of games for all ages and genres, and it’s a fun, fresh way to get involved in gaming. The switch between the handheld and console modes are quick and easy, as is the switch between the different controller modes. The games that you’d normally play on other consoles run fairly smoothly, play well, and have good graphics and mechanics. The online membership is very affordable, especially compared to other online memberships. There are many accessories you can purchase that are tailored to your play style. The biggest downsides are that you can’t stream your games online directly from the console, that the internal memory isn’t sufficient enough without purchasing microSD cards for additional memory, and that some games limit you on which controller modes you can use.

I got this for my son for his birthday and he loves it. I also love it! We enjoy playing this console together. I love the fact that it is mobile (for car trips etc.), but it also connects to my tv screen via HDMI. Great overall!

This was a gift to my nephew and she loved it, great quality and easy to use

My son loves his Nintendo Switch. I gave it to him for his Birthday. He said it was the best birthday present ever

My son is loving his Nintendo Switch. I bought it early and they delivered it to me free of charge.. best Christmas prez for him! He’s an X-Box gamer... but now? Well even x-box took a back seat to this..

A gift for my daughter. She loves it. I also have a switch and we play together. This is a very easy to set up and start playing

This system is great. It was fast to set up and the entire family has had a blast playing Animal Crossing New Horizon and Pokemon on it. Also love that you can stream Hulu and Youtube on it as well. Would highly recommend!

We’d been playing the switch with other friends and family members who already owned the console, so purchasing one felt natural. Love the offerings of games, and the fact that you can break it up and play with multiple people on one device, and take it to-go is AWESOME!!! So glad this console exists and honestly is probably the best out of all the ones I grew up with, for the fact of these 2 features. Can’t wait to add more games to our library!

Haven't had a Nintendo product since my Ds/DSi and Wii so this was a great system to get back into Nintendo. I've been having lots of fun playing the games I bought (lots of money spent but thats another convo)

We're a 1 TV house. This means that if someone wants to watch TV then another person won't be able to play video games. The Switch solves this problem and keeps everyone happy. What I like about it: Doesn't take up a lot of space Battery life is good (but it doesn't get played for hours at a time in this house) Good selection of games The process of docking the console and picking up play is indeed seamless Nintendo is releasing older games on Nintendo Switch Online Not a Gripe Just a Wish Please oh please oh please release Milon's Secret Castle!

My son's girlfriend loved the gift. She is having fun with all the games.

Got this just for animal crossing and super smash brothers. Ended up with a few more games. Always have loved Nintendo for casual, party, or specific titles (zelda, mario, etc), and the Switch was a home run.

Great concept of having a console that is also a handheld. You get the choice of playing on the TV screen or on the switch screen on the go. It's nice that you can play 2 players right out of the box without the need to purchase another controller (if you have a multiplayer game bundled or purchased). Had this for over a year. The only issue was one of the joycon started acting funny, but nintendo replaced it since it was within the one-year manufacturer's warranty period. A subscription is now needed for online multiplayer gaming, but the price is reasonable.

Unbelievably better battery. Not just a minor improvement - enough to use it in moderation and then use it again the next day without charging it overnight. Great library of exclusives, versatile play-styles, and quick, simple menus.

I still remember buying the original NES with my dad in the 80's and playing that day until I couldn't keep my eyes open. Now I'm reliving that experience with my son. This system is #1 on his xmas list this year so I've tested it out ahead of time and I can say it's a very unique gaming experience. The motion controls are seamless. It takes a while to get used to the joycons and I feel they're probably going to be easier for my son's small hands to control. Thankfully you can purchase a pro controller separately if you have larger hands. I did purchase some extra accessories that I didn't realize were actually included in the box (wrist straps and comfort grip). So far I have tried the new Mario and Zelda games and I would highly recommend them. The "switch" component is novel, but I'm not sure we'll be utilizing the portability of this system much. Overall totally worth the sticker price!

The Nintendo Switch is absolutely the future of gaming. The ability yo play how you want, when you want is the thing gamers have been asking for for what seems like an eternity. Sure, we have had handheld system and console(home) systems for years. And the Wii U and PS4/vita tried to allow us a new way to play with their remote options...but they left us out in the cold on truly playing the same games both inside and outside your home. The switch remedies that. Want to play on your couch on the tv? Disconnect the joy con, and play either using them individually in both hands, or with the dog ear controller. Want a more traditional controller grab the pro controller which feels comfortable in your hands. Want to play two player? Hand one joy con to your buddy or child and play together with them turned sideways. Want to watch something on tv while playing? Undock the switch and play it in handheld mode by connecting the joycon to the tablet. Or play in table top mode with the built in kick stand. Want to take it to a friend's house slip it in a case (sold by itself) and go. I've seen seen people playing it at the park, at the restaurant, the library and more. Truly play your games anywhere you want..including while on the toilet. Now a few quick notes. Some people have said the dock can scratch the tablet..I have not had this issue nor have any of my friends or family that own the system. A quick fix if your worried is to buy a screen protector just like you would a phone if you are worried...which you might want to do if you play to play it on the go a lot anyway. ( look up Switch dock socks on etsy..if you want a custom way to help protect your system in dock) There was a brief issue with joy con synch...again I didn't have an issue with this at all, and Nintendo has already corrected the issue in manufacturing and software updates. Those two issue aside, which has actually been Only on a minority of the 2pkus million systems already sold in a month the switch is fantastic. My only complaint is lack of "on board storage" (only 32gb)Make sure to buy yourself a 64+ gb sdxc card as your gonna want some of the digital only games. While I wish I didn't have to go that route it's no different then many tablets or phones so we're pretty used to it. last note: games If you can get only one....get: ZELDA Breath of the Wild is easily the best game of the last 2 years. Complete open world adventuring with all the traditional ZELDA charm. Make sure to pick it up. There are plenty of games in developement set to launch this year and beyond. I can't suggest this system enough. As a gamer (who owns systems from every company) it is a perfect addition to my gaming addiction and an innovation in how we play. One I am sure the competitors will be copying in the near future.
