    It’s extremely convenient because it is not only connected to your TV but it can also be taken on the go. Plus it can stand and it’s almost like you’re playing in a mini TV whenever the big TV is in use by another kid (no more fights over who gets to use the big screen). Overall, totally worth it and be patient if you can’t find it. Just keep refreshing and checking the page every 3 hrs or so. Best Buy does an amazing job at restocking products for its customers! Curb side pick up was super fast and easy too!

    The company Nintendo is no competition to Microsoft and PlayStation Sony that's for sure, however the ease of use and it's unique docked to handheld mode makes for a more user friendly experience and games look really good on the handheld HD screen especially games like resident evil Revelations, "METRO 2033"/ METRO LAST LIGHT" and borderlands on the go is awesome in my opinion. The joy-con controls aren't bad and are really awesome to play with when the rumble pal is actually utilized properly, however I can see how the size can be a problem for people with bigger hands. Now to touch on the subject of fighting games, if you been playing on Xbox or Playstation I would highly recommend the pro controller on the switch because it feels way better to play with than it does the joy cons especially with it's lightning fast button feedback and the pro controller can be used almost just about every game with the exception of motion based games

    So far, I am really enjoying the Nintendo Switch! :) I got the Nintendo Switch as an early birthday present. I ended up getting the Switch with the Red/Blue Neon joy-con controllers because I love the fun color scheme on the controllers. I would highly recommend on buying a carrying case for your Nintendo Switch if you want to protect it and carry it on the go. Pros: * The UI is intuitive and simple to use. * You can exist the game within a matter of seconds and go back into the game instantly. * Hybrid console - play it on TV or take it on the go. * Region Free - you can play games from different regions (ie. U.K., Japan, etc.) But you would need to create a separate account for that region in order to get the games from other countries. * You can create several accounts. * You can post images and videos on Twitter and now on Facebook! * Has a very sleek and modern design. Cons: * The Joy-con controllers are kinda small. Even when you put them in the joy-con grip controller, it still feels kinda small. I have small hands and even I think it feels a bit small! I think it's because that the grip controller is kinda narrow that makes it feel like your hands are too close together when holding the joy-con grip controller. If you have big hands, I recommend you get the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. * 32GB of storage space (I recommend getting a SD micro card because you will need it.) * It's not as powerful as the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X, but it still manages to have great games on the system. Games such as Bayonetta 1 & 2, DOOM, Dark Souls HD Remastered, Rocket League, Skyrim HD, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and many more games to come. * The kickstand on the back is not that great. 1.) It's on the far side of the console. 2.) It's kinda skinny and if you accidentally bump into it, it could fall over. 3.) The micro SD card is exposed. I highly recommend on buying a much more sturdy stand from Amazon.com. That's what I did. Despite its flaws, the Nintendo Switch is a step in the right direction. Nintendo learned from their mistakes with the Wii U and created a more unique and easy to use console system for both the consumers and video game developers. Overall, I love my Nintendo Switch! I'm looking forward to more amazing things for the Nintendo Switch in the future. :)

    First I want to thank Best Buy for shipping this very fast during these unprecedented times! This is the first time I have ever owned a Nintendo system since N64 and wow is this thing awesome! I am hooked on Animal Crossing and this is the perfect device for stress relief during this crazy time of staying home during COVID!

    The Best Nintendo

    Unlike the PlayStation or Xbox, the Switch isn’t trying to be the center of your entire TV setup. It can’t do anything in 4K, and it doesn’t offer many streaming video apps. But it continues to do the thing that Nintendo consoles do best: play excellent, family-friendly, genre-defining Nintendo games from classic franchises like Mario, Zelda, Pokémon, and Animal Crossing. And although recent Nintendo systems haven’t given players much to do in between Mario games, the Switch offers a huge library of engrossing indie games and quirky experiments like cardboard robot kits

    I own both the Switch V1 (XAW version) and Switch V2 (XKW version which is the one I am reviewing). The only difference between V1 and V2 is that V2 has a much longer battery life. No difference in terms of graphics and overall performance. The machine itself is great, and extremely easy to carry and play around (compare to an actual game console). However, due to the limitation of the CPU, GPU and the size of it, games such as 2K and other AAA games does not have a satisfying experience when playing it. Besides, switch games are a bit pricy. Nintendo claims that they have fixed the “drifting” problem on the joycon for V2, but I could still feel a bit of drifting when playing Zelda.

    The Nintendo Switch is so hard to find. Glad I was able to find it on Best Buy’s website early in the morning for retail. It shipped on the same day and I received it the following day. Thanks Best Buy! I’m happy with the console and have been playing it with my fiance.

    A really nice device that I can not stop using. I have been using my switch every day since I ordered and mistakenly play for hours on it. I first had a switch lite, then I was able to snag a regular switch. The switch lite is ok, but I feel that the analog sticks, and buttons are better on this device. Also I like that I can play it on the TV and feel that I can get more use of the switch motion control games. I love this device and feel that it's worth the 300 dollar price tag. But now I'm playing animal crossing, mario odyssey and plan to pick up botw, and some others. Just for those games alone I think it's worth picking up. I put a skin from skinit on it.

    I bought this system about 2 weeks before a family beach trip. That two weeks I was trying to get my wife to drive EVERYWHERE just so I could sit in the back and play with my kids. I thought I was getting system for them, but I am already saving money for second one JUST FOR ME. I got the GREY joy con version because I liked the color scheme and it doesn't scream KIDDIE system. Since we have had it a day doesn't go by without me having it leave the house with me. I get home and dock it and it's back to the races (Mario Kart) with my kids. Battery life is Good Build Quality is cool ... though you might want to get a grip case Portability is awesome.
