    Homerun for Nintendo!

    Nintendo has done it again! Favorite Nintendo console since Game Cube. I loved the Wii but it pushed motion controls a bit far and the Wii U just had too many issues to count. The Switch is simply amazing. Great traditional controls while still offering motion and the new HD Rumble is unlike anything on the market. And the magic of it seemlesly switching between home console and handheld modes feels so right. This really feels like a new direction for gaming.

    I picked up the Nintendo Switch bear launch and left it sitting. I wasn't expecting much, the play at home or on-the-go seemed like a gimmic. Let me tell you, paired with Breath of the Wild, I can't believe I didn't open and start playing sooner. With the included dock, moving from in your hands to playing on your television is simple and quick, battery life is great, and the graphics are far better than expected based on previous generations of console.

    I have been playing Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for a long time now on the Nintendo Switch, and it's solidly one of my favorite games. The Switch doesn't have a lot of other games to offer at the moment, but I'm sure there will be a ton released in the coming months. The portability of the Switch is also very convenient, though setting it up was a bit of a challenge, but only because I plugged it into a HDMI cable that wasn't plugged into a TV. Oops.

    My son loves this system. Its compact enough to travel in the car/plane. I got the carrying case and it makes it very easy to keep up with all the necessities.

    While Nintendo still hasn't given up on a new annoying gimmick for their consoles at least you can largely ignore it here. Buy a Pro Controller, dock the system and enjoy some great games.

    Snagged this online and had a very positive curbside pickup experience at the store. So far I love the Switch (so does my partner) and have no regrets. MK11, Fri. the 13th and Animal Crossing have all been a blast to play. The joy-cons can be frustrating at times so I would definitely recommend getting a separate controller for games where accuracy is important.

    Nintendo did something right in my go opinion. Great console, graphics etc for the price. It does get a little uncomfortable holding in the same spot for hours at a time. No biggie though.

    Switch on to the Nintendo Switch

    The Nintendo switch is just simple amazing. While it doesn't have the greatest graphics in the world nor does it do VR, it is revolution by mixing home based console with portability of a handheld system. Not only does it has one great game at launch "Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" (which itself is just a reason to get the Switch) and the ability to take it with you on the go, is simple convenient. I just hope Nintendo can make a great library available for this system for years to come and not just have one title that is a must have. My only real complaints is the cost of accessories and the fact that you can't copy game saves to the SD Card, other than that, I am enjoying the heck out of my Nintendo Switch and almost play it everyday since it has been release. Haven't ran in to too many technical issues and those I have encounter have been very easy to remedy. So I do recommend you get one, if they ever become widely available.

    It is a solidly built console that is getting better as they continue to release games for it. I will say that nintemdo still has a long ways to go with the interface and online experience.
