    Perfect gift idea. I love the face that my kids can order games online to work on this Nintendo. They absolutely love it.

    I bought this for my son but I also play it. I love how versatile it is. Switching from portable to dock feels just like the coolness of the commercials. I love how I could also use the pro controller when it's in portable mode and on the stand. My only gripe with it is the battery power. It just goes so quick. And powering off can be deceiving. I feel like when you think you've fully powered it off, you actually put it in rest mode which can drain the battery over time. Make sure you hold down the power button until you get the power off menu. NBA 2k19 is so much fun on the go but I wish it was a little smoother. Still a great console to have but I wished I kind of waited for the next version of this because i'm sure battery power is gonna be upgraded.

    The Switch is very neat and my daughter could not be happier. It has amazing graphics and the games are more kid friendly then competitor systems. If you are looking for something for the family, this system has very few games that more than one player can play. Even Mario Odyesse says two players but in actuality, it is one player who is Mario while the other is the cap on his head. Fortunately, my daughter is an only child; but, even when I want to play with her, we have found very few options so far. There are to be 10-15 new games released within the next two months so we are looking forward to that!! The fact she can remove the system from the dock and play on the go has been wonderful as well. She did not have to leave her Christmas at home when we traveled to visit other family.

    I like that this gaming system is handheld and portable. Great for keeping my child occupied during long car rides. Also I'm not great at assembling or installing things but connecting this device to the tv is very simple! My child has had a ninetendo switch for a while now and still plays it unlike other gaming systems I've bought in the past.

    I originally thought the dock/portable feature was a gimic but being able to play a game outside and come inside, put on dock and play on the TV. Doesn't require me to reset the device or lose my progress. Awesome feature. The joycons can be used together or separate as 2 players. No other console includes 2 controllers so this is big.

    The switch off for us great options and gameplay with the ability to be portable as well. On the big screen the games look great the HDMI connection makes this a high definition experience of colorfull fun. Nintendo has come a long way from the original Wii and the switch offers some of the original gaming experience that made it famous with today’s technology and graphics.

    I missed having a game system. I Had all of the Nintendo systems at one time or another. I’ve also had other systems. I enjoy the games on the Nintendo switch there’s a lot of old-school games that I enjoy playing. It is a must-have for any family or even a single person no matter what age!

    I'm loving my Switch so far. BotW and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are must buys. The ability to take this thing on the go has been awesome, while being able to seemlessly enjoy on the big screen, too. The Sleep Mode and being able to pick up a game directly where you left off can't be understated when you don't have a lot of time for marathon play sessions. Can't wait to see what's to come on this machine.
