Convenient & Fun - Husband obsessed

published

I bought the Nintendo Switch for my husband. He has always been a gamer and I don't mind the more basic games like mario kart. The switch is a brilliant and fast unit. Only problem is he never gets off the thing. I suppose I did want him to enjoy it though...

Love the Switch!

published

I was given the Switch for a gift a little while ago and I love it! I love that I can use it as a handheld device, I can take it with me if I want to and I can leave it connected to play on the TV. The kids love it too and they enjoy playing a few different games with or without me.

When being used as a portable device with the 2 sides/controllers in hand, I do find the controller is a little small and takes a bit of getting used to, otherwise it is ok. I wouldn't play for hours like that though, probably a good thing.

There are more and more games being released so there is always something to choose from. Great little console that doesn't take up a huge amount of space.

The console I never knew I always wanted.

published

It’s a console I can take with me, allowing me to continue the experience I have on the couch anywhere I happen to be.
It also effectively allows 2-player gaming right out of the box; and this thing is a haven for local multiplayer gaming.
Might not be the most powerful hardware in the world, but I’ll be damned if it hasn’t provided some of the my most memorable and enjoyable gaming experiences of the past 30 years.

Very limited good games

published

Purchased for kids so they wouldn't play fortnight as often. Games purchased mario kart. Mario odyssey. Zelda and a couple more. The mobile hand held unit is fantastic. The controllers are a little small. Load times are fantastic.
Kids played it for around 2 weeks and went back to the ps4.
Save yourself the money and just buy a ps4.

My horrible switch:

published

My switch is messed up. The reason for this is because it doesn’t connect to my tv anymore no matter what I do to try and fix. The switch for me is just messed up. The Nintendo switch is the worst console ever!!!! No regrets in saying that! I would have the ps4 or any of the xbox’s.

Amazing console!

published

Perfect game console. My kids absolutely in love with this device.
It is very handy so you can carry anywhere to play also very easy to connect to TV as well.
The charging/ TV dock is nicely made and the audio and graphics are beautiful. The touch screen and all the controller buttons are responsive promptly. This is a great item for kids especially if you are planning to trip with your kid.

Great little console

published

Bought this to play Zelda and the new Mario oddessy. It’s a great little console that I can carry with me around the house or connect to my tv when playing with my daughter.
The game store on the console has loads to choose from many games towards everyone’s liking. The console has had no faults so far. Easy to assemble, easy to handle and doesn’t have loads of bulky cords.

Versatile and fun

published

A good range of fun games, the Switch has worked perfectly.

You can play the Switch connected to your TV or take it with you on the plane, to the park or wherever. The only downside is it doesn’t come with a carry case, so you might want to invest in one.

Extremely flexible console - perfect for everyone

published

The ability to play both handheld and on TV is super useful and caters for all audiences. The joycons can be used together as a single controller, or split up into two different ones for multiplayer. Already, this console is extremely flexible. The games themselves - Zelda Breath of the Wild + Mario Odyssey especially - are contenders for best games of all time.

Love mario and switch

published

Nintendo switch is the best concole and handhold in one device. With the new release in 2018, it's capable to replay my new 3ds xl soon. It's a perfect device. The only thing bother me is the backgound noisy of the headphone jack. It's very loud on some sensitive earphones and degrade the gaming experience. I hope they can fix it with next switch upgrate.

The best portable gaming device

published

The Nintendo switch is at a good price where I can even take it to work and on the train. It’s not to small or heavy to put it in my bag when traveling.

A great product for little and big kids

published

Great entertainment for people off all ages. The console is portable and can be used by up to 4 players. Best bought in a value bundle at Places like Eb. I got mine at JB for$399. Highly recommend Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda. New game came out today involving cardboard. Looks like a lot of fun

Good console

published

This is a great console, revolutionary, with a good roster of first party games.

Unfortunately there are a lot of ports from other consoles on it, but I guess that's ok if you don't have a PS4 or Xbox.

Also there is only 32gb memory and if you are going to be getting a lot of digital games you will need to buy a SDHC card to add to the inbuilt memory.

But Zelda and Mario Odyssey in the first year? Incredible!

I would recommend a tempered glass screen protector as the screen can get scratched when put into the dock.

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.

Squato

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.
