    I purchased the original switch at launch and I hated carrying a battery pack. After I saw that this upgraded model had a better battery life, it was a no brainer for me. I took. Trip to Vegas and the charge lasted me there and back on the plain ride while playing Zelda: Link’s awakening.

    I never though I would love a game system as much as I love this one. The Nintendo Switch has made life easy by allowing me to take high quality gaming on the go while still being able to have a home system in HD. A vast library of A+ games make the switch a no brainer for any gamer.

    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.

    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.

    Can Everything Come to Switch Please?

    Is this Nintendos best console since Super Nintendo you ask? Yes it is. There is something for everyone here. The eshop offers plenty of deals. Online service is worth it for the Nintendo and Super Nintendo selections alone. Take Super Metroid or Breath of the Wild anywhere! Perfect for families. The only downer would be controller setup, which can be a hassle sometimes. Not 4K but who cares, the games are great. No Netflix, who cares, watch that on the other 10 devices you have. Just kick back and get some gamin on! Go get this thing!

    Got this as a gift for my wife so she could play Mariokart. It was difficult to get with the shortages but it has been a great way to pass the time while we are all staying at home! Definitely recommend. So far we just have Mariokart and Zelda, but will get more games soon!

    This is the best family console out there. Nintendo makes nothing but quality games and this console delivers. Play it on your TV or on your couch it’s awesome. I just hope when the next switch console comes out it still plays the original game cards for this console.

    I'm an avid video gamer (x box), however the games I play are not age appropriate for my children. The nintendo switch has provided us the opportunity for age appropriate gaming that we enjoy as a family. Our mario kart battles will continue to be fun for many years to come!

    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)

    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.

    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.
