My daughter loves her new Nintendo switch and won’t put it down

I love the switch. I picked it up day one and have been dabbling with all of the various games ever since. Nintendo is still the master of high quality games and this is the perfect console to play them on with its flexibility to be a contending home console or a high end portable console when you need it. The joy cons are pretty cool technology too with all they are capable of, but for long periods of gameplay, I'd recommend snatching up a pro controller as well. Now for a cautionary tale. BE WARY OF THIRD PARTY DOCKS!! I got a Nyko switch dock that worked fine for me right up to the latest firmware update, and now my original switch is bricked and all of my original save data is gone. Nintendo definitely charges an absurd amount for their first party docks, but $70/$80 is far better than another $300 and losing your progress in all of your games. I still love the switch, and if you are cautious (and if nintendo catches up with the times and learns about cloud saves) you are sure to have a great time with this console.

Overall, it’s a great system. I enjoy the games and the controls are better than I thought. That said, there are a lot of accessories needed to make this thing safe for play/travel. You need a screen protector for the touch screen otherwise it won’t last long. I would recommend a protective case/grip case for travel or just for when it’s not in its dock. The controls are fine, but they are not really comfortable and don’t have a good grip. I would recommend a higher GB memory card as this will quickly fill up the standard 32 GB memory card, especially if you download games and the DLC content. Overall, I was careful with my purchases for this and the games. I made sure to shop the deals. I even made sure to try and buy the store brand/generic accessories to keep cost down. When all was said and done. I spent close to an additional $100 dollars on accessories just to make this safe/last a while. Great system, great games. It’s fun for both my family and I (when I am home we can play it together and I can play it on my commute while on the train). But there are several hidden costs if you want to take care of this system properly.

Battery life is awesome. Games are great. The wifi will not work past 15 feet from my router on 2.4 or 5 ghz.

The switch is so cool. I love how I can take it to work to play on my break.

Good product . My kids love it . Will read it to friends and family

I bought this for my 6-year-old son. He loves it. The versatility of being able to go from handheld to TV screen is great. He doesn't have to stop playing to take road trips which is extremely important to his 6-yo self. As a parent, I am disappointed that the Parental Control is only a notification and doesn't actually stop the use of the game system. We have to be on the honor system here so be aware.

Kid loves it, handy, easy to use, decent price, nice

First I have to say this is somewhat expensive, considering Mario kart game is pretty simple in terms of design and graphics, but still cost as much if not more than more complex games found on ps4. Neverthrless, once you can look past the cost, this is one of the few technology items nowadays, that allows the entire family to interact with each other, which is priceless. Rather than each person looking at their own smartphone, now everyone can have fun on the same screen.

Great product my grandson loves irt. We will definitely buy more products from Best Buy

This is the second Nintendo Switch, last one was damage and the BestBuy extended warranty worked excellent, my kid love the Nintendo Switch, and I love the BestBuy warranty.

This systems is kind of in a league of it's own in a way that is portable and stationary. Gotta recommend getting Breath of the Wild for this. I'm excited to see the game library grow for this system and what's to come.

Bought this for my family for Christmas and I love it. It has brought back a lot of games from my youth and is super fun to play. Wish the games weren't so pricey for it.

You Can take this anywhere on the go and play with worked remotes with friends or settle in at Home and play with friends or family /online. Really great buy if your into Nintendo games

Great fun.... had a hard time setting up with older tv.

My kid loves this! I had heard that these weren't all that great, but after messing around with it, it has grown on me. I'm not a gamer by any means, but the graphics and functionality of the Switch is pretty awesome.

This is truly a switcher. Quick to go from dock to handheld. Honestly my favorite Nintendo system. They got it right with this one.

I wasn't going to get it then had a spontaneous moment and bought it wish I had gotten it before I play it now more than my playstation they are a little pricey but definitely worth it

My son loves his nintendo. He has his since last yr.

I had the first xbox one and wanted to upgrade to the newer one. The xbox one s is great. It's faster and more responsive than the first one and it is 4k. The graphics are better and you can watch 4k movies in it now.
