    I last played a Gameboy Color 20 years ago. My nieces got one of these for Christmas 2022 and were showing me how to play it and I felt the urge to get one for myself so I did. I don’t regret it.

    Even better than expected. Simple to set up and use. My 5 year old has already become a pro at it. I have been really impressed with how sensitive and responsive the Joy-Con controller can be. The screen on the switch itself is also very good quality, although we have been pretty much playing exclusively on the TV.

    Greatest Gift!!! (That I ever gave myself) the switch is awesome! It brings back the memories of playing Nintendo 64. Just hand held and much easier to take along with you in 2020! You can subscribe and play all the Super Nintendo and Nintendo games. It’s pretty awesome and I will never regret buying this game!

    You have to really hold this in your hand to see what all of the hype is about. I bought this along with Tetris / Puyo Puyo, and took it to work. Whether I used it in handheld, table top, or TV mode, people were instantly attracted. It brought out the kid in my co workers as they played Tetris head to head. I absolutely love that I have near console like experiences anywhere on the go.

    Great Portable/Dockable Gaming System

    This is my first Nintendo since the Wii and I was ecstatic to be entering the Nintendo Sphere once more. I've had the Switch for a good while now and haven't slowed down yet. I play 70% handheld and the rest of the time docked. I have small hands, but haven't had a problem holding the unit since the first day. The joy-cons are okay for handheld, but I've found that I prefer the pro controller when playing docked. The system itself is very smooth, only issue is the e-shop but that's another story. I chose to go fully digital so I purchased a 1TB micro sd and only have 300+ gigs remaining (so sad). This is a great system for at home or on the go gaming.

    It’s been fun playing animal crossing on this. I am seeing a lot of Mario Bros games that have called my attention from my childhood, so looking forward to that for my next purchase. Love that you can connect it onto your tv and also that it is portable. Love taking it out on my backyard and playing while beer sipping.

    With the whole pandemic and being quarantined, video gaming in my household is a must. Bought this for my daughter so she can get started playing Animal Crossings with her friends. Not sure how I was able to score this as all major consoles are selling out fast. Can't beat Nintendo's quality on their consoles as well.

    We recently purchased this system to provide us with some entertainment during the stay-at-home orders are in place. This is the first game console that I've owned, so I don't have anything to compare it too, but I like how small and unobtrusive it is and the Nintendo games are super fun, particularly the active movement games.

    Like the NES was to me, the switch will be to my kids. Starting off properly with Mario and jumping into the universe of gaming the games are fun and inventive like it's predecessors. For me, I'm having as much fun as ever. Dusting off the nostalgia and going into new types of games. Highly recommend for the family.

    Bottom Line: the Nintendo Switch offers tons of fun... if you can get your hands on one. Pros: tons of great first and third party games, versatile play modes (handheld, tabletop, TV) and overall just a fun gaming system Cons: hardware not as powerful as other consoles in the generation, currently hard to find Review: Since we’ve been home due to the pandemic, I’ve been looking to game with my five year old. Unfortunately, there aren’t many games I’ve found on the other consoles that are accessible enough for her to play. So, after months of trying to get a Switch, I lucked out during a Best Buy restock and ordered one. So far, the Switch hasn’t disappointed. My daughter and I have been playing Mario Kart, and the single Joycon makes a great controller for her small hands. The auto accelerate (easy mode) also means she’s just in charge of steering, and it’s been a ton of fun playing. I also picked up Link’s Awakening to play by myself. The game is a fantastic remake of the classic GameBoy original, although I do notice the hardware struggles sometimes to keep up with some of the action on-screen.

    After trying for a few months to get a switch, I was able to snag one and I love it! I play the switch mostly handheld and the battery life on it lasts a good 5-6 hours with LOZ Breath of the Wild and lasts longer with Animal Crossing. It definitely has been entertaining playing it and has killed my boredom at home.

    I love this so much! It's the perfect gaming system for the gamer on the move. The graphics are great and I love that I can take it with me anytime I go out and about. As someone that doesn't spend a lot of time at home, this was a big factor for me regarding whether or not i took the plunge buying this new system. 7 months later and I am still playing it for an hour or two per day!
