    Christmas Gift for kids

    Got this new console system to replace older Wii and 3DS systems. The Switch was very easy to setup and the graphics are markedly better than the older systems, as would be expected. The system can operate as a traditional console with wireless remotes, as a Wii type system with movement or as a 3DS like handheld system. A really nice feature for parents is the phone monitoring app which allows parents visibility into games being played, hours spent on the system and even allows parents to set time limits. There were a couple sticking points I had with the unit but they weren't deal breakers. 1. Like with most game systems on the market, Nintendo nickels and dimes you for everything. The system includes two controllers and the base console but doesn't offer anything more than that. We needed to purchase two additional controllers, a charging kit for the controllers and a separate carrying case. Total cost in was almost double the cost of the base system 2. The charging mechanisms for the system seem limited. For example, although the system can operate as a 3DS type handheld, it does not come with a way to charge it as a standalone unit. I'm now looking at investing in yet another accessory, the Nintendo power pack In spite of the above, it appears as though Nintendo put some good thought behind the system itself and is looking to make this a platform they can continue to build from moving forward. More importantly, my kids love it.

    Appropriate for any age content to easily maneuver. Tons of games to access especially Super Nintendo games are my favorite part.

    So far we're only playing animal crossing, which is addicting by the way. But the console is easy to use both handheld or on tv.

    Nintendo is back! After the failure of the Wii U, Nintendo has developed a console that has surpassed their original expectations. Great fun games and more to come.

    Great system. Fun games, and I love that it’s portable. It would be better with longer battery life but other then that I love it.

    This is my first console in about a decade. I was shocked initially with how easy it was to setup and begin playing. There are a wide array of games to choose from for the Switch, with more slated to come in 2019. What i love most is the versatility this console offers. In addition to being a great stationary at home console, this is great for travel and social gaming with friends.
