    My family loves the switch. They can’t wait until Friday when they are able to play on it. The whole family enjoys it. It was a great investment. We should have purchased it sooner.

    Great portable console BUT...

    I haven't used Nintendo hardware in more than 10 years. I was not a fan of the direction Nintendo took with the Wii & WiiU, nor the Nintendo DS and 3DS. But when I saw that that they had finally returned to something more traditional when it came to a console and its controller, I became open to getting this. And as soon as Mario Kart 8 came out, I couldn't resist. This is easily the best portable games console I've ever had and I'm enjoying it a great deal. It's great to see Nintendo adopt universal standards like USB-C. The buttons feel good, the construction feels good (other than the kickstand), and it's just sheer joy to be carrying around a system that is capable of multiplayer all the time. To be able to prop up the system, slide off the controllers, and play impromptu multiplayer anywhere? Just surreal! Here are the flaws though. As great as the screen is, it should be 1080p instead of 720p. There aren't enough games to play on the system and third party support has been limited thus far. The online multiplayer system is bare bones and is not going to be free anymore come this Fall. If it's worth paying for, it has to be a lot better than what it is. Where is the bluetooth support for headsets and headphones? Where is the virtual console library of classic games that we all want to start buying from? Finally, and possibly worst of all, this thing just doesn't have great battery life. It depends on the game, and sure, you can play around with brightness settings and play on mute or with headphones, but you will never get more than 3 hours of playtime with this thing. For extended or marathon gaming sessions, that isn't going to cut it. Also, as a home console, this thing has not earned the right to be in my home entertainment center. No support for streaming media services? 70 dollars for the pro controller? A lackluster online service that doesn't support voice chat? No thanks. Honestly, I never thought I'd be open to getting this system. But this is the most modern Nintendo console ever. Playing online Mario Kart and Street Fighter 2 with my friends has been a ton of fun, even without voice chat and even with friend codes. The Switch is missing a lot of things but as a portable system, I haven't had this much fun with a Nintendo system in a long time.

    I was finally sold on purchasing a switch when I found out that Nintendo was releasing Mario Maker 2 and a new Animal Crossing for the platform later this year. I bought Mario Odyssey and Stardew Valley to start off when I first bought it and I have been having an absolute blast. I love the portability and ease of use. I can’t see myself owning any other platform and I hope they keep making games for the switch for a long time! You should pick on up if you’re on the fence! You won’t be sorry!!

    I've been waiting for quite a bit to pick up this console and I really wanted to play the new games that came out this year. Do be careful as it is a smaller console compared to Sony and Microsoft's.

    Love it! It has a good battery life and performance is great. I would suggest to start off with Zelda and Dance Dance (Even if it seems cheesy)

    I went to best buy for an internet modem and new router. When i got there i learned some things about my ISP that turned my bad day worse. I decided to just walk around the store and see if there was something else i wanted. I got to the nintendo switch section and i've always wanted one so i walked up to multiple employees asking various questions, and every single one of them were very kind and knowledgeable in the answers they gave me. Very happy with my experience and with my purchase.

    The Switch is exactly what was promised. Transferring from dock to handheld and vise versa is flawless, just like in the advertising. Putting it into sleep mode is also instant, allowing you to go back to the exact spot you were in when you turned it off, even in the middle of cut scenes. It also saves your game right before your console dies when in handheld mode so you don't lose any progress! Battery life is about 3-4 hours depending on screen brightness and what game you're playing, it does support external batteries to combat that issue.

    The Switch's best feature is its portability and it works flawlessly. I get about 2 1/2 - 3 hours of Zelda in between charges. The transition to my tv is also smooth if I want to keep it docked. A lack of must own games (aside from the fantastic Breath of the Wild) and extremely pricey accessories keeps this from being five stars
