    My son wanted a Nintendo Switch so he saved up money to buy one. He really enjoys the Nintendo exclusive games, like Smash Brothers. The system is kid friendly and has a tablet like screen so it can be played on that instead of always on the television. Great purchase for Nintendo fans and especially if you have children.

    Extremely amazing innovation on Nintendo's part one again. Finally the full console experience on-the-go. Make sure to get Zelda! Had a bad left joy-con with mine. A problem that SHOULD now be resolved. Took 6 days after shipping it back to receive it back repaired. A silly, tiny, black square of conductive foam fixed the antenna issue in the left joy-con. A design flaw for sure, but working superbly now.

    This is by far my favorite console I have ever owned. Zelda is phenomenal for it. Inwill say it needs more games but the future is bright with titles such as mario kart, arms, splatoon 2 (the test fire was amazing) and much more. If you are on the edge of buying it, just do it. It iw worth the investment, especially if you lken nintendo and like indie games as there are many coming to the console as well.

    Purchased for my husband. He loves the lack of batteries in the joy-con controlers. Another advantage compared to the Wii U is that there is no motion bar just seamless wireless activity. One negative on the console would be the small variety of games available, they are slowing releasing more (not sure if it is a sales tactic or just a lack of planning). I highly recommend pre-ordering any new console release such as this, many things sell out within minutes including accessories. I did encounter a shipping delay in my pre-order, delayed three days with no notification until the 3rd day and then just an apology. I am aware it is a contracted, 3rd party delivery system, but I would expect that your customer receive more contact about the delay when they obviously pre-ordered months in advance expecting to get it that day.

    I actually returned the switch. It’s a lot of fun but to have that and a Xbox is pointless. The games are so expensive too. But it was fun for a bit

    I bought the Switch and have really enjoyed my experience so far. However, I noticed that my JoyCons would occasionally stop responding or suffer input lag. Make sure your controllers have a clear line of sight to the docked switch, run updates for both the system AND controllers (not the same thing), and you should have a really fun gaming experience!

    Loving the new Nintendo console. It’s portability is beyond what I thought it would. Only thing I don’t like is that some games will require a bigger screen to be enjoyed easily but none the less it doesn’t hold it back. Super perk is that a 12 month sub to Nintendo Switch on-line is only $20. Access to some of the NES games via streaming is definitely worth it.
