Best portable gaming device

published

Purchased Nintendo Switch with Mario Kart bundle during Amazon Black Friday sales 2022. Been using switch several times a week.

Favourite games Zelda BOTW. Screen is amazing and and connecting to dock and TV is a breeze.



Would recommend buying Skull and Co grip case and hands can get sore when playing for hours without gripcase. Also highly recommend screen protector and pro controller.

Best console

published

I play a few different platforms, but I love the Switch the most, although I am a sucker for Nintendo.
It's such a fun design, the fact you can use it at home on the big TV then just take it off it's base and take it as you please.
I actually took my switch with me on a plane trip and it provided endless entertainment.
The only downside it that Switch games can cost a fair bit compared to other platforms.

Perfect for at home or on the go

published

Switch is perfect for seamless gaming between the tv and on the go. It is a lifechanger when travelling on planes. Highly recommend Mario Kart 8 and Hollowknight for endless hours of fun. Nintendo online leaves a bit to be desired though.

Horrible Customer Service

published

This device was purchased on Christmas last year, only for the left joy-con to break less than one year later. The joy-con broke without prior damage or misuse yet Nintendo decided that it had to be me who had caused the break. They refuse to replace or repair the item even though it is under warranty! Not a good investment unless you have plenty of money to burn.

Worse purchase Ive ever made

published

Purchased a brand new switch in August 2022. The screen went dead 6 weeks later. We took it back to the place of purchase, only to be advised the assessment and repair will take b/w 4-6 weeks. What a joke. Oh, and so your kids dont lose the memory or games that have been saved. You need to back up your switch first. Which is another scam.
So in summary, we outlay $400 AUD, it breaks down 6 weeks later, and we may get it back now before Xmas.

What a horrible product and returns process - never ever again.

Multiple forms and methods of play. Kids enjoy it

published

I like how you can play it in multiple ways like on TV, portable as a single or multiplayer hand-held unit or as a separate screen on its own with mini controllers. Games are kid-friendly (unlike PS or X-Box) and build quality is superior. Only (minor) downside is the ease at which games are lost because of its small SD-size game cards and lack of 4K. Highly recommended if you have young children.

The Ultimate gaming console

The switch spec wise is like having a playstation 4 in the palm on your hands. If you are blessed to have a switch without joycon drift you can experience hours on the go of gaming with the vast catalogue of high quality games that cater for fans of every genre.

INCREDIBLE

published

The nintendo switch it so incredible! It has simple design, lightweight and easy to use. The games that you can buy are also very fun, challenging and great to play with family and friends. You can bring the nintendo switch on the plane without a screen or connect it to a TV to play with the family. It is AMAZING.

Excellent system for kids but pricey

published

Great games system for kids and the pick up and go feature is used quite often In our house. I do think that the Nintendo store in general is way overpriced however.

Is it good?

No, As an entertainment device it's very lacking in features, can't play Netflix ect. Solid gaming system, graphics are poor but I don't think that is an issue, Nintendo games don't require amazing graphics to be emersive.

Best Nintendo console to date. The fact that it is handheld makes all the difference, and it can still display on the TV like previous consoles if you prefer that, but I don't know anyone who doesn't love playing in handheld mode. The Nintendo 64/GameCube emulation is coming soon as well, so expect the imminent release of old games for the Switch.

As a gaming system, yes it is a good one. A works well as a mix of a handheld system you can take with you and one you can have set up with your main rig. If you wanted it as an all rounder to work with the other home entertainment opitions you might have in your house, for now it is limited with not much known about what they could do there. It is a possible "watch this space" type deal there. Otherwise, it is good at what it does.
