Nintendo Switch Love

published

Was a little worried buying the Nintendo Switch console as it was all new for me but it was one of my best purchases yet! Is easy to set up & easy to set up internet connection. My 7yr old daughter loves it and I love that alot of the games get the kids up off the lounge and playing like for real, great. Great fun for the whole family...

Excellent for both at home and gaming on the go

published

The only issue is wear and tear, you must be careful with your switch. After 10 months, I had to replace joysticks, as one wouldn't lock in anymore, the second issue is WIFI - very low range, you will need a WIFI extender if in a big house, third is that WIIU games can be exactly the same, yet non transferable to new device. Otherwise game quality is excellent, online gaming and range is pretty epic too.

I would give this product 5 stars, if was built too last longer and if it was a little more advanced, wifi should be extended, battery life improved and needs to be more compatible with Netflix and other apps.

I think nintendo will bring out a new and improved version, can't wait.

A Portable Gaming Powerhouse

published

The Nintendo Switch is truly a portable gaming powerhouse. No other gaming handheld has given gamers a way to play triple A games on the go. With it's unique controllers that allow two player gaming, a clean and bright HD screen and the ability to increases your storage, why haven't you made the switch?

So much fun!

published

The Switch takes you back to your childhood and is perfect for when you want to just pick up and play a game. Lots of games but they can be expensive. Battery doesn’t last long though, but I do love the joy-cons and being able to play on the TV. Very cool.

Poor quality worse service

published

My son loves this thing, but he is not the one paying to replace the handsets. Had it one month, is only played by a six year old, and the joycon stopped working, sent to Nintendo and they won't replace, want the same money as a new one to fix and won't even send it back unless we pay 20 . that handset has never been dropped or had ruff treatment. Our ps 4 has had handsets dropped or sat on and it still goes strong. Don't waste your money just stick to PS 4 s. They say the switch is portable, but I won't let the kids risk taking it anywhere, too flismy. Also games are about $80, but you still have to pay for a membership to be able to play most of them.

On the go console gaming!

published

Nothing much to add apart from it being awesome and I love the handheld function of this gaming console.
Also knowing that older games are being ported over to Switch is equally welcoming too. Graphics look so clean and sharp and overall I just love that I can bring this wherever I go!

Whole family absolutely loves this console !!!!!!!

published

We have owned this console for about 1.5 years and in that time we have probably played it more than any other console we have ever owned ! The fact you can take the console out of the dock for handheld play is such a cool feature as when the television is being used by someone else you can still play your game . The games library is fun and mostly family friendly and it is just an all round awesome device ! Highly recommend as an addition to every gaming family !

Cheaply made broke after a month

published

Honestly I don’t even want to sell this second hand to anyone I’ve had it 6 months and it’s not working properly, the dock broke in the first two months and haven’t been successful getting any part of it replaced nobody from Nintendo will reply to my emails it’s very frustrating terrible customer service.

Games are expensive as well complete waste of money in my opinion

Faulty product, should be recalled by manafacturer

published

I purchased this product for my grandson for xmas, worked brilliantly for 2 weeks and from then on we have not been able to recharge the inbuilt battery, went online and tried all the suggested remedies to no avail, returned the product to place of purchase JBS Hifi and they tested the product and found it was actually faulty, a $400 game console lasting only 3 weeks before being unplayable is way less than what you would expect, searched Google and found many other people have had the same experiance, on this product I recommend buyer beware. Thanks

My favourite way to commute

published

I had always loved my old Nintendo consoles but having to study meant they took a back seat. Bought myself a switch as a reward and to occupy myself during a long commute and haven’t looked back. Love the portability of it, it’s light and powerful and the range of games is growing daily. I love that games from other systems are being ported over. Having the option to dock the console on a TV and play with motion controls is also a great option. Battery life reasonable for how powerful it is and the option to also download games digitally is great for portability. I haven’t looked back.

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.
