    I have owned the GameBoy, GameBoy Advance, GameBoy SP, Nintendo 3DS and now the Nintendo Switch and this is by far the best console they have made and a huge upgrade from the 3DS. 10/10 would purchase again (which I did for my son). lol

    The Switch is a really fun and easy to use console. You can buy game discs or just download them onto your Switch. Changing controller modes is explained on screen and makes it so you can use it as a hand held or in the dock.

    Nintendo returns to form

    Nintendo, as always, sticks to their strange ways when it comes to making consoles, and unlike the WiiU, it seems like they hit it out of the park with this one. Pros: The console is portable with a 3-6 hour battery life, and has a kickstand for stand alone use. It also docks and displays beautifully. The controls feel great, and for gamers of a more traditional control scheme, they offer the pro controller. Also, the joycons feel acceptable when used as an individual remote. Overall it's a solid system with a promising future. Cons: unfortunately the kickstand is a bit flimsy, and for some reason they decided to put the charge port on the bottom of the console, making it impossible to charge while using the kickstand. Although some people might want to use the joy cons separately while playing, they don't feel great and feel like you need the grip or a pro controller. Also, I don't understand why they ship a grip without the ability to charge your controller separately from the dock. Instead they make you buy it separately. Also of note is how expensive extra things like the joycons, pro controller, grips, and other accessories cost. Also, the dock feels like a very cheap peace of plastic, which because the screen on the switch is plastic, can scratch it. I highly recommend you get a screen protector with your switch.

    Love this thing. It currently has a small line up of good games to play with more coming every month. The Switch gives you the freedom to play these games how you want it.

    After 15 years of playing with my WII, I splurged this Xmas and got me the switch. So nice having a new system that works. This system will undoubtedly help me get through the next decade of Covid-19 lockdowns!

    We have had our switch about a month now and love it! It is similar to the wii in the use of the joycon but now you have two separate joycons that can either work together or separate in multiplayer games. The system itself is small so it is easy to set up and also very portable. The removable screen has great clarity and allows you to play anywhere anytime. We had a brief connection issue with one of the joycons but the issue seems to have resolved itself. There aren't many games out yet but the ones out provide a great variety of single player story-mode and co-op games. Highly recommend this new system!

    I bought this for my 10 year old grandson and he loves it. It's durable but i would recommend buying the case for protection.

    The Switch is an unusual concept, opting to combine a household game console with a handheld device, and it does so perfectly. With an easy method of switching inputs to a high definition screen alone, it succeeds on being what the previous console should have been.

    Overall its a good device, the issue, just like with anything these days, you pay up front for the device and then you have to spend a ton of additional money for online services, games etc.

    Not much to say about this item. Good console, good exclusives, fills the role it’s intended to. Graphics may be lackluster for some, particularly with next generation PlayStation and Xbox releases around the corner.
