    Okay, I am not a gamer, so I can't give you any technical information about this thing. I bought it for my son because it seemed the easiest way to get him to stop telling me details about it. I would have him write this review, but he is much too busy playing with it to talk about it now. So, yeah, highly recommended for keeping children out from under your feet.

    It is really an awesome console, the quality of the screen is really good and of course, if you like Nintendo the Mario game is excellent.

    The Switch is such a nice piece of hardware. Once it hits it's stride in games, there is no telling how much of a milestone console this could be. Rough launch lineup but Zelda is an absolute must have and will last you well through the initial launch months. Great screen. Decent battery life. Console quality games on the go. Truly and great device to have.

    So I casually stroll into Best Buy with my son to kill some time when there were about 50 Nintendo Switch boxes on a table in the entry. Boy, were these hard to find! I immediately snatched one and ran to get a few games. Just happy Best Buy had these available for the public. Love seeing my son playing his games. Great system and was so easy to set up.

    This is my second Nintendo Switch purchased. I figured that it would be home enough for the rest of the family to enjoy but with the great library of games, I have personally put in over 1,000 hours of gameplay into my Switch, tipping me to buy a second for the household. Perfect for micro gaming sessions on the go or for lengthy sessions at home.
