    This system is incredible and totally unique. It feels really nice in hand, and has a tiny footprint compared to my PS4. I'm more worried about game play and offerings than I am about specs, so my overall experience with the switch has been top notch. To each his own, but I see this console replacing my PS4 as soon as more titles are released.

    So far I'm loving the Switch coming from a long time Xbox player. I like the Nintendo exclusives (Mario, Zelda, Metroid, etc.) & I bought my GF one too because she couldn't stop playing mine. Definitely a cool device, wish the battery lasted longer though.

    Terrific New System From Nintendo

    The Nintendo Switch is pretty awesome. While not quite a full-bodied system like the PS4 or XONE, the combination of portability and flexibility help it stand out. Yeah, the launch lineup was incredibly limited (if not for Zelda, I would have graded the initial games an "F") and the cost of controllers are about 10-20 dollars too high. And don't forget about the availability issues. Even with all that, the system is pretty amazing. I couldn't believe how I could just take a full, console-level game with me on vacation without any compromises. It's a system with a lot of potential. We'll have to see if Nintendo can reach those lofty expectations or if they'll falter. Only time will tell!

    We had to get this. My kids have owned every game console out there and this color would be no exception. They love the fact that it’s portable when we leave for road trips, or can use it on the tv when we get there. Nintendo never disappoints.

    I'm on the older side of life (54), but still amused by video games, I am not good at them, and not tons of time, BUT, I'm using this much more than I expected. Like it a lot, effectively 100% of the time I use it in handheld mode, and it is not connected to a TV. I did that once at a hotel, and that worked but I use it mainly as a portable device. Would give it five, but 1) interface is a bit clunky, 2) would be nice to have some video streaming options. I believe that is coming. Games I have, Bomberman, Mario Kart, the Rabbids/Mario game.

    My six year old loves this console. It’s easy to use and it’s great that it’s portable and moves from one TV to the next with only a couple of wires. Good alternative to his tablet. The games are a little pricey and it doesn’t come with one, but he loves it so much that we thought it was still worth it.

    Bought this system to play mostly interactive games for big groups. Have it connected to a projector on the wall. The games graphics are not as good and detailed as Xbox or PS4 obviously, but this is mobile and when we are just playing Mario Party or Just Dance, the graphic quality is not a high priority.

    I originally purchased nintendo switch light as christmas present for my kid bur exchanged it to nintendo switch. This is much better product and definitely worth additional funds. Portable just as light but also capable to connect to TV. Both kids are playing together.

    Nintendo has done it again . Very clever they have eliminated the dreadful moment every gamer faces , when they have to turn the system off and try and find a save point. Now just pick up the system and go. My kids love this system . Love Zelda and MARIO kart. Only downside imo is system was released to early without enough games to showcase

    Not only is the gaming experience on the switch better than I thought, but playing on transit is almost as good as playing on the tv at home. Best Buy messed up inventory and allowed me to buy an edition they didn’t have in store. Waited for half an hour while they “checked” and finally just opted for this one.
