    If you can't always afford to monopolize the main TV in your house with playing video games, the Nintendo Switch is the perfect console. Having the ability to remove it from the dock and play in portable mode really sold me on Nintendo's latest console. While it may not be a graphics powerhouse like those from Sony or Microsoft, you know with Nintendo you're getting an experience that goes beyond that.

    We gave this as a Christmas gift to our kids ages 6 and 4. They enjoyed creating their avatars and picked up quick on how to use the console. They have only played Mario Kart 8 but it has been a great for some family competition.

    The Nintendo Switch is a great console to have not only because its a console that you can use at home but that is portable and that you can take just about everywhere. Really love it. And I recommend it. I will give a tip to people buying the switch buy a screen protector for the switch, other than that it really is great and if your a person that buys a lot of digital games get yourself a memory card.

    My children has been asking for the switch since before the pandemic started and it’s been out of stock everywhere unless you were willing to pay exorbitantly from a private seller. My first complaint is why they are no more easily available. It’s a learning curve to get used to the controls but once you do it works fine. Being used to the Xbox, you feel like you’re going to break the controls since they are so small. My children are enjoying it and I love its portability But although you can use it without the docking station for two players, it is just too small to be practical. I still like it. Wish the games were a bit more affordable though.

    Family is having fun! Was a Christmas present for the family. The switching between TV to mobile mode works very well. Over WiFi the updates went quickly (we had done the updates before Christmas just incase). We will have many many many hours of fun with this Nintendo - Switch 32GB Console - Neon Red/Neon Blue Joy-Con.

    I pre-ordered the Switch the night it was announced and have since purchased a second one as a holiday gift for my brother's family. The Switch is a must have console for Nintendo fans and gaming fans alike. The 1st party titles are incredible and bring back the love for Nintendo I had growing up. If you're on the fence about purchasing the Switch I highly recommend doing it if you have the chance to.

    this is a great console for all those who want to play old games from the NES and SNES. It is great to play with friends and family time will go by quick when playing. Sucks that this is still hard to find at time because this is really a great console. It's nice that you can play it on the TV or hand held so you can take it with you.

    This system doesn't have the best graphics or the most features (e.g. VR), but it succeeds in having really fun games that great's for local-coop and it's PORTABLE. To bring this to a person's home and connect with a USB-C -> HDMI cable is just so easy, and you'll be gaming no time. Nintendo did everything right with this release.

    The place for Nintendo games

    If you want to play Zelda or Mario (and I don’t mean mobile games)... this is the system you need to own. Unlike the “Wii U” there’s more value here being able to take your console with you (or playing your portable on your TV). It’s arguably a better implantation of what Sony accomplished with remote play between the Playstation4 and PlayStation Vita (but too few gamers have tried or appreciate that functionality). I will point out a major oversight... while most tablets and phones today support Bluetooth audio for headsets (hack even the PlayStation vita does) that’s not an option on the Switch. I recently found myself on a long car ride and one set of headphones had started to bother my ears after several hours... I wanted to switch to my Bluetooth headphones and was stunned to discover no way to pair them.

    So glad I got my hands on one of these in 2020 and from Best Buy nonetheless. Very happy with the system - the graphics are so beautiful for being so portable. I was really surprised at how portable and light it is. Perfect for traveling and the USB C port makes it easy to charge with a battery pack on planes. Very happy.

    I thought the Switch was going to be a gimmick, something that was "portable" in the same sense as the Wii that could be picked up and put in a bag and not really used until you got to where you were going. I was wrong. I love taking my Switch with me places, and the performance on the go is just as good as the performance when docked. The battery lasts plenty long and if you plan to take it on a long trip you can charge it on the go with a battery pack thanks to the USB C charging port. All around a great console that I would absolutely recommend.
