    Great for the whole family. However, just make sure to buy a screen protector as soon as you get it.

    There's so much to say about this console. The fact that it's portable is probably it's best feature. It fits comfortably in my hands and I enjoy the large screen. May not be able to fit in a pocket but is just as easy as caring around a DS as long as you have a carrying case. I'm extremely satisfied with this product. Great job Nintendo!!

    This is my 4 year old daughter's first gaming system. I thought it would be impossible to teach her how to use it. She is practically an expert in such a short timeframe. She loves it. She feels like a Winner everytime she advances and learns something new! And she is very dedicated, not to mention its great for building her motor skills.

    Ive had this for a month now and i can tell you the hype was real, this machine lived up to my expectations. i truly love the portability factor as well as being a home console. im excited for the new games coming up while i finish the ones i have. This is not for babies, this console is for adults or mature enough teens. i highly recommend it.

    Instant Love

    I was excited about the Switch (enough to pre-order for launch day), but I did have my reservations. In ads, the Joy-Con controllers look tiny when separated - I assumed they'd be uncomfortable to use. The moment I had them in my hands though, they felt natural. Even playing with two Joy-Cons separated (one in each hand) was fine - to the point where I had to remind myself to connect them to the Joy-Con Grip. Another thing that stands out about the Switch is how quickly you can set it up and start playing. No more creating Miis (unless you want to). User profiles can be created and customized in seconds. Load times are also extremely fast. For instance, if you save your Zelda game and turn off the system, you can come back the next day and turn it back on and be playing (not just loading the game - actually playing) within 2-3 seconds. My only reservation so far has been with the screen. Mine DID get scratched removing it from the dock. The scratch isn't deep, and it's not where the picture displays, but it's there. I bought myself a "dock sock" off of Etsy to prevent it from happening again, but it does bother me that Nintendo has claimed they've seen no evidence of screens getting scratched.

    Though the Wii U was more durable the switch is good but feels very fragile at times. Better get a protected case of some sort.

    Got one of these for our grandson last year for his birthday. He loved it so much; that we had to get one for our grand daughter for her birthday. The Nintendo Switch is a lot of fun to play with. You will not go wrong getting one for yourself or someone else!

    Great console i use nearly daily, but I suggest you get the split pro controller from hori if you’re going to be using it in portable mode. Of course if you have small hands or robot hands you wont mind using the uncomfortable joy cons for prolonged game sessions.
