    This system is great. Zelda is one of the best games to come around in years and is perfect timing. Super Mario Odyssey is right around the corner. If you can find one that is, I happened to walk into the store and they only had limited amount. Just keep looking, even though website will always show something different. The day I picked mine up the site showed out of stock.

    Can't remember since the last time I fell in love with Nintendo hardware .. probably either gameboy advance SP or the Nintendo DSi. I've since played the Wii and Wii U, but never really loved it where I couldn't put it down. I have the PS4, XB1, Wii U, and PSVita in my room and when the PS Vita first came out, I loved that device as portable gaming always appealed to me more. I've put countless hours on my PS4 and barely touched my XB1 and Wii U. But after Sony stopped supporting the PS Vita with triple A quality games, I've stopped playing that also. Now when this console was announced, I was intrigued and waited for a month before I picked one up to see the initial reviews and I have to to say that it's a great little device. Yes, this console is missing features such as a web browser or even media applications. But that will come later in updates, so I'm not worried about that. But the game and build quality of this console is great. The idea from playing a single player game to docking it on the TV and having 2 controllers to play with another person is great fun. The whole execution Nintendo created was great and I hope they continue down this path and have third party develops make games for this amazing console. I know that it'll be supported from Nintendo rather than what Sony did to their beloved little portable PS Vita.

    I've been playing this thing a lot since the launch day. It is a great system on the big screen with a pro controller but what sets this set apart is the ability to go portable and play quality games on an easily carried handheld device. Flights are now a lot of fun as I battle through Zelda, Race in Mario Kart, or play any of the Neo Geo games available on the estore.

    Nintendo does it again with not only an innovative new game design, but also an awesome line-up of games. The system is sleek, allows for removing the device and playing on-the-go, or docking in and playing off the TV. The new hand-held controls are very cool and the new games (Arms 2) use them very well. The Zelda game is superb, with great graphics and limitless motion.

    I've owned a Nintendo system since they first came out and can say without a doubt that this one is the best. The controllers are easy to use and the size is easier to adjust to they you might think. The graphics are great and the system itself is solid. So what's the downside: Only 32GB of internal memory, controllers sometime lose their connection, it didn't come with a game!

    Nintendo finally did something that wasn't stupid

    I have been very critical towards Nintendo for making the worst decisions possible after the successful Wii, then they automatically assumed they knew what was best for every single gamer in the world, because their consoles sold well in Nursing homes. THE Switch Tho..... yissss. It really is awesome. I now have a 5 year old who enjoys games, and we can play this at home together, pick it up and take it with us on road trips. It is a GREAT idea. When you purchase this don't expect Stellar Graphics and don't compare to any XB1 or PS4 console on the market. It doesn't even touch those. You should concern yourself with, "Does this fit my play style?" I need it because we travel and it is awesome for My kid. If you travel a lot on a busses, trains and spend a lot of extra time away from home and have time to spare this might be the thing for you. A few things, your saves are tied to the console, it is absolutely ridiculous. If something happens to your system, you loose all of your save progress. They start charging for online play in the fall, there is nothing to play online. Indies are shinning on it, and it is hard to make the decision if you want to spend $50-$60 on a 7 year old game that you can get on PSN of XBLM for $5. Nintendo did an excellent job with this console, I would suggest buying it, but wait until there is more to choose from.
