    The switch is a great system that can be taken on the go or used at home on your tv. It has all the makings of a historic console but nintendo's continued support remains to be seen. Be cautious buying this if your plan is the play triple A titles because there aren't many on it yet. However, the ones that are consist mostly of great 10/10 games.

    A hybrid console that's just awesome. Being able to pickup and play whenever someone is using the tv or when you have to get somewhere is something I've wanted for years. As a handheld it has a very nice looking screen, is pretty powerful and is real easy to play multiplayer on since it comes with two contollers right out of the box. I especially like the look of the blue and red joy-cons.

    I was a skeptic, and I've gladly been proven wrong

    I have always been a Nintendo fan but have been disappointed lately. Had a Wii, but got bored with it after a while. Bought a Wii U and returned it after 3 weeks. I loved my NES, SNES, Game Boy Advance, DS, and 3DS, and have always wanted them to get back to the simple fun of those systems with their consoles. I pre-ordered the Switch so I would have an option to own it but up to and including release day wasn't sure that I would keep it. After a few days I broke down and opened it, and have loved every minute. I own a PS4 and Xbox One, and they have done little more than collect dust since I opened my Switch. Everyone is going on and on about Zelda, but the party and indie game potential here is amazing. Bomberman is exciting, Snipperclips is absolutely hilarious, and I can't wait to see how Nintendo-IP multiplayer games fare here. The ability to quickly switch play modes is completely effortless, and has proven great already...if I'm playing Switch and my wife decides she wants the TV, I just pull out the console, attach the controllers, and go right back to my same spot on the couch. From a true portable system standpoint as well, it doesn't feel out of place. It's just as easy to play on the go as the DS/3DS were. Sure it lacks raw horsepower compared to the other two consoles, but it's amazingly versatile and fun as anything. Anyone of any age can enjoy this...if you were hesitant, don't be. It's that good.

    I just recently got the switch and it was even more fun than I expected. The system is pretty powerful for being a handheld and it’s ability to play on a tv but pick it up and go anytime makes it different from other systems today.
