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.

A Fantastic New Gaming Console From Nintendo

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.

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.

I love this Game Nintendo Switch is a game-changer!
The hybrid design is genius—play on your TV or on the go without missing a beat. The exclusive games are top-tier (Zelda, Mario, Animal Crossing), and the Joy-Cons make local multiplayer super fun. It’s perfect for gamers of all ages. Portable, powerful, and packed with fun—the Switch nails it!

We purchased this as a christmas gift for our son. It was easy to set up, and get running. The monthly subscription we pur hased with it give access to variety of free games each month. The battery hold a charge for a long time, holds up to long car rides. My son put the controls in backward and we thought they were stuck and ruined, but the people at nintendo anticipated this mistake and put in a "fail safe", so nothing was ruined. It was pricey, in my non-gamer opinion, but the longer we have it the more worth it it seems. If you have a kid that will tote it around with them, i highly recommend adding cases and screen protectors.

I bought the Switch because I was looking forward to playing the classic games that I grew up with along with some that my kids enjoyed in the early Nintendo days. However, there are so many GREAT new games that cover virtually every type of gameplay one could want.
I personally like games where there is a thinking element involved (puzzles/riddles to solve) instead of just jumping in and shooting everything in sight. I also like that many of the games can be played solo, with others in your house, or online with friends.
The portability of this console makes it great for road trips, and I have been very pleased with the battery life.

What can i say, its crazy what this thing can do you can play handheld, on the tv, and play two player when set up on a table with the handheld screen, no tv needed. Easy to use interface and to connect more controllers. Very fast when starting up games and loading. So many new big games and all the classic Nintendo games available, the price is well well worth buying it new.

This is our first video game system in a long time, wife loves it for dance 2023 and bowling so far! I did not go for the OLED model as we would just be using this primarily for TV use and it is great! The games we can play together and download on demand make it a real winner in our house! The built in storage and controllers could be increased / improved ergonomically, I have large hands and the controller seems a bit small but otherwise great system.
