    I bought this because I found myself playing my consoles less and less. The culprit was my long work hours and laying down and napping seemed to be priority. I am able to mosey around and play this anywhere which makes it very convenient. Of course, you can play it on the big screen, but if you are a fan of Mario Kart, Zelda, Mario, etc. this is easily for you.

    This is the best deal out there. Period. Awesome system with all the fun of a wii combined with a 3ds and more. The "joycon" size takes getting used too (much smaller), having to buy all new games (not compatible with any other system), and the fear of losing the games (size of a fat SD card) are the only drawbacks. You won't be disappointed if you loved all the prior systems.

    Compare to Xbox one and PS4, the console is weak and more expensive. But I would like to buy it again if I can erase Zelda and Mario from my brain

    I’m 39 and I have played the Nintendo switch just as much as my 9 year old who received this as a gift from Santa! MARIO Cart 10 is the best MARIO cart game to date and looks great on the switch. And my nine year old isn’t into Zelda, but I can definitely see why BOTW won game of the year! So glad I (Santa) purchased the switch. Great system with great looking games.

    Was looking to buy a game system and only a game system didn’t want all the extras that other systems have so went with the switch it’s perfect and didn’t think about it till later but the fact that it’s portable in my opinion makes it a better buy than the others, another thing I like is quick system updates and they are not needed as often as the other systems

    The Nintendo Entertain System (NES) was the first video game system my family bought and played together. That was when I was five years old. I've been a fan of Nintendo ever since. The last Nintendo system I played was the Nintendo Wii. I've been busy with Xbox 360 and Xbox One. When I got this, I was blown away. The Nintendo Switch truly is an awesome system!

    If playing a full open-world Legend of Zelda on the commute on the go is the kind of gaming experience you are looking for, the Nintendo Switch won't disappoint. The console goes to sleep and wake up instantly so that it is easy to pick up for 5 min and then stored away. Now we just need to wait for more games. Blue and Red controllers add character to the Switch as well!

    The Switch is one of the best purchases I have made in the last couple of years, hands down! It's accessibility and easiness to use make it perfect for players of all ages. The only downside is that I still find there aren't that many great games out there yet, especially for multiplayer. But as the console ages, more and more options will begin appearing!
