    The Switch has a lot of potential, but it hasn't been met yet. As of this post (mid-March) there are a lot of features missing. Nintendo promises these will be added soon, such as video streaming, online gaming and the virtual console. The cons are the battery life, left joycon issues, and the dock not being built very well and scratching the screen if you are not careful. Being able to take the system anywhere is a huge selling point, and Zelda is one of the best games I have ever played. The system itself is very light, the joycons (when working) provide a very relaxed and comfortable playing experience, and this thing seems like it was built for local multiplayer games. There are quite a few great games on the horizon, so hopefully Nintendo (and third parties) will keep delivering games worth playing on the Switch so this isn't Wii U 2.0.

    Very fun when you’re on the go or on roadtrips. You’re able to multiplay with friends and play online. Lots of access to hundreds of games.

    It's a Nintendo game console, they've been hitting out of the park with few exceptions (Virtual Boy) since the 1980's. Good solid hardware that will let you game on the go or at home. Is it as powerful as an Xbox or a Playstation? No, but it's a good solid performer with great titles that you won't go far wrong with either.

    The Switch is a great little console. I wanted something portable (for me) that had games my son could play (when docked). We have love playing Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 together. It has also rekindled my love for Skyrim...that I can now play on the go. My only complaints relate to onboard storage (32 GB) and max cartridge size. Both of these factors keep more games from being ported over.

    I've had far more use out of this console than I ever did with its two predecessors. At first I was weary about the lift off functionality, but I've actually used it quite a bit on trips. I do wish it came bundled with an extra controller, but sadly you'll pay a ton for extras. I'll be buying another one of these in a couple monthes for my daughter.

    My son loves his new switch. He says that it it one of the best gaming systems he's had (and he's had a bunch.) He loves that it is portable or can be played on TV.

    Nintendo Strikes Again

    If you have any interest at all in a Switch, just go ahead and get one now (well, when you can, as it seems like they're never in stock.) The Switch blends handheld and traditional console gaming in a way never before seen. While games may be a bit sparse in the early months, Zelda alone is worth the system purchase, and with Nintendo's stable of 1st party games, you'll end up getting your money's worth and more.

    Buy the Pro-Controller as well

    I love this console! I will admit that getting used to the button layout after coming from Xbox took a bit of time but that's nothing. Most people are probably worried about the dreaded Joy-Con drift. For me I just skipped all of that and got the Pro-Controller. But my sister has a switch as well and didn't get the Pro-Controller and after about 3 weeks experienced slight Joy-Con drift and that messes with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. In conclusion, just buy the Pro-Controller along with the Switch.
