    Excellent device, lack of content

    The switch itself is pretty awesome. For someone who loves modular, high tech devices, I'm a huge fan of the design. The screen may be smaller than I thought and perhaps too small for certain games to really play well, but overall it's well done. The earliest problem with the switch right now isn't even the lack of triple A games, but really the lack of virtual console. Nintendo is probably holding back because they're selling retro versions of like, all of those consoles, but honestly most of the games I want on my switch were already on the Wii, so I shouldn't have to wait. But, we will see where this goes in the future. Right now, this is a Zelda and Mario machine. Well, and xenoblades 2 now.

    Was able to buy this during quarantine! It took me a few days to get it when it’s in stock because it’s bery competitive. However, I’ve been playing nonstop!

    This console isn’t fun and innovative. I love that you can hook it up to the tv or play on the go. It is portable and has some fun games out. Can’t wait to see what other games will come out for it!

    Got it for his Christmas, and he loves it. I even get to play along on the multiplayer because of the way the controller comes iff, and makes two. Hand held game and can even be used on the TV also.

    Really like the switch for graphics and games. Not super ergonomic and the device gets heavy to hold after awhile. It plugs into the tv. Also uses standard USB C charger (so works with laptop charger as well). Long battery life. Need to get online plan to use all the features. We've had trouble with the Joy-cons, but Nintendo's warranty covered it.

    Other than the extra battery life in handheld and the new piracy protection its the same as any other switch. That being said its a pretty good switch and I use handheld a lot.

    I actually bought this for myself after my ex bought one for my son. I primarily play Animal Crossings but it is super easy to use and haven’t had any issues.

    This thing has been tons of fun the past several months of ownership (got it in May 2020 - revewing in Dec 2020). The only warning i'll give is - beware, it's EASY to go well beyond the $300 base price buying accessories and such. So plan out what extras you think you'll need (extra dock, pro controller, extra joycons, carrying case, online membership, etc). Still a good value overall. Also of note, in the 6+ months of ownership, i haven't had any joycon drifting issues. BUt i also don't use the joycons/handheld mode that often - mostly pro controller in docked mode.

    I love the switch. It's a great console to casually play with my wife and other family. I love being able to take it off the dock it and play on the go or laying in bed. It's really versatile and fun!
