    Great console, great graphics and fun to play. Not too happy with battery life if played as hand held. Otherwise it’s the best option for portable gaming. Lots of game’s options, fun to play with friends. Controllers seem a bit fragile have to be very careful while docking. Good choice for casual gamer like me. Will definitely recommend.

    Nintendo really has done it. Even a few years after it's initial release, the Switch is still awesome, you can take your favorite and exclusive games on the go and there are so many accessories to have endless fun with the Switch! Highly recommended for those that like to travel as well.

    The Switch is pretty easy and comfortable to use. Playing it on the tv is a great alternative if you strain to see the screen. Although the screen is big enough. Lightweight. Buttons are easy to use, however, for older eyes it's hard to see the lettering on them.

    Fantastic gaming system

    This device is really great in every way. The idea of making a system that is both a console AND a portable device is just brilliant. No real downside at all. Sure, it's not as powerful as a PS4 or X-box, but it's a trade-off for being portable. Let's just hope the Switch's success leads to many more games being made.

    Pretty Amazing System

    The Switch is a super-fun system with a growing library if games. The only flaw is the dock, which for some people, including me, has scratched the screen. Still, I would highly recommend the system to anyone who enjoys gaming - especially given the current and upcoming third-party support and Nintendo first-party games.

    I was surprised how well this feels and works, given the size. It looks great on a 4K tv, with the convenience of being able to switch to handheld. The games are fun! Mariokart 8 is the very best version so far. Everyone in my house is enjoying the Nintendo Switch!

    This is one of the most sought after items in the world. I got lucky to be able to buy one. My kids love it and adore it to death. This is a great console that also doubles as a portable, which really made things great for vacations and long road trips.

    When it originally released I was on the fence of getting one, especially after having a Wii U. However after it built up a good log of games and having experienced it first hand with other friends that own the system, I decided to get one. It’s been great and easy to jump into.

    Really fun to play. Figured out how to use my GameCube controller as a third switch controller. Had a great time playing Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart. Only complaint is that the individual joy- cons are quite small and my friends’ hands cramped up after a while (when joy-cons used individually for multi-player games)

    Overall the system is amazing. I would like it better if it was compatible with wii, wiiu, and could play blue rays but oh well... The portability of this console is hands down killing xbox1 and playstation4... Awesome value for the money, highly recommend for the whole family!

    INVENTIVE BUT WEEK

    Nintendo did a good job for inventing new controllers, which is the best part, tiny game card(s) and screen on the go. Although the graphics are pretty good, especially on Zelda, they are still blocky and large. This is true when you compare them to other consoles such as X-box and Playstation 4 which keep improving. Must say though, Zelda is an extremely fun game to pay and I am sure others by Nintendo will also be as fun. But, third party games will be better played and visually stunning on the other systems. Switch is a very good console for the younger gamer and an extra one to have for the older gamer who likes Nintendo developed games.

    I was lucky enough to find a Switch recently. Zelda, Mario, and a ton of great third-party games. Console works well as a portable gaming system and an at-home gaming system. Only downside: some of the Nintendo flagship games are still expensive years after released

    We bought this for my son for Christmas and he has not stopped playing it! It is perfect for his little hands and easy to understand. It is also touchscreen, so that's a plus. We even play it as a family as it brings back so much memories of us playing when we were growing up!

    The functionality of this, to be able to play via handheld device or via the TV with the controller or just using the joy-cons is wonderful. We've only purchased a couple games so far, but it seems like the setup of this system is great. It was easy to unpack and set up.
