    I wasn't sure if I'd like my Switch, I heard it had it's issues, but I've found it to offer great graphics, and quirky fun from home to the bus, to the odd work break. Only downside is it could use some third party software like Netflix and Youtube, but that's coming soon.

    The switch is awesome. I've played all of there systems. It's just the right Sizes for holding to play. Putting it in the cradle and playing it through the tv is also awesome.

    The Nintendo Switch system is a better mobile divide than stationary console. Hopefully by the time I beat BotW they will have a larger game library.

    Love it! I found the setup process to be quite quick. The transition from the docking station to a handheld and back is smooth. The joycons snap into place and are quite secure. When playing movement games, you can attach a piece to the joycon that has a wrist strap. At first I put it on backwards and found it be have a loose fit, but after realizing and flipping it around, it too clicked into place and was super secure! Overall, very satisfied with the product and how user friendly it is!

    Reviewing as a busy parent I love what Nintendo has done. Being able to play full top tier games anywhere is the best thing I could ask for. The build is solid and I have had no issues or defects with the unit itself. Having a portable full system obviously means that it won't have the power of a dedicated home system but Nintendo has shown with Zelda that anybody who wants to put a great looking and playing game on the system can. Battery life is respectable and the USB C port offers many options for keeping juiced up for long trips. I've docked my rating a score for two reasons. The hidden costs of the system (sd card, pro controller, travel charger, tempered glass screen protector) can add up fast as most accessories are priced pretty high. Second, the hardware is ready for prime time but the features of the system software seemed lacking and incomplete. Game save management, no virtual console, lack of browser or apps and common online game and social features like chat and achievements are not present which seems out of touch for a dedicated gaming system. My confidence in the system will greatly improve with a solid E3 showing this June that show off more AAA games are in the pipeline and updates with the system ecosystem itself. You may not use all the play styles the Switch can offer, but whatever one you use I'm confident you'll be happy with it.

    I'm assuming you already know what a Switch if you're reading this... what're you waiting for? In all seriousness, a solid product, finally being stocked again regularly after a serious supply issue from scalpers and COVID.

    The Nintendo titles alone make the Switch worth it. The library of games has expanded considerably since release. I remember having the Gameboy as a kid and comparing it now to the Switch with all the advancements is mind blowing.

    I love the switch for its size , I am adult and play a few games on this and love the option on plugging the base into the tv to get a bigger screen option. I have used on a 55” tv and it still looked good do not know if it will handle 65” or larger do not have tv that size so could not test it. I like the improved battery life on this version that I bought. I thought about buying the lite version , because it was a lot cheaper but it’s also a lot smaller. Also I like the regular size switch , because it is still easy to take with.

    Exactly the item it says. Comes with switch, controllers, and base. Perfect if it'll spend most of the time connected to a TV.

    Awesome as a handheld

    I know it’s supposed to be for both, but I really just love this as a premium feeling handheld system that just so happens to be dockable for use on a TV. I do wish the onboard memory was larger but with microSD cards being so cheap its pretty affordable to just go with a good 64GB or 128GB (which is what I did) for extra space. I just can’t wait for the better docks to come out because the system does seem to run hot when docked. Awesome buy and I hope that all that want one has gotten one by now. If you love handhelds this is a must buy, but this is by no means a full replacement for your PS4 or XB1 in my opinion.

    This is a Xmas gift for my son but he has played on his friends system and he loves it, so I bought one for him. Nintendo always makes quality systems so I’m sure this game console is any different. I know he will be one excited young man this Xmas when he opens his gift.

    I waited a really long time to get this because of the price point but it was so worth it when I got it. It’s like having a full size game console in a little hand held device. I may be biased because I’m a die hard Nintendo fan since practically birth, but If you’re debating getting this, don’t. Just get it. The only thing that isn’t really mentioned is that in order to play online with others unlike other Nintendo consoles like the DS is that you have to pay a yearly fee! That may be common knowledge to some but I didn’t know that. It’s only like $20 a year though.
