> 24 hourI have an loaded opinion on this console that I want to express. The Switch is flawed. As an avid gamer who usually ends up buying all the consoles (except the xbox one) and loves the hardware behind these machines, the switch was super cool when I first heard about it and saw it. I got one not to long after release once they came back to my area. Though it took awhile to save up for any games as during that point in its life, everything was expensive on it and 3rd party devs hadnt moved to it yet. Also there were no media apps on it besides hulu which somehow is still a thing, surprising. But that isnt what I want to talk about, its more how the switch feels really damn cheap. I dont mean cheap as with the plastic shell either (but that is an issue, dislike the texture a lot, and it was also damaged by strong adhesives from dbrand before), but you get a wimpy TN panel for its main built in display, in an era where amoled and ips are very obtainable for device of this size (the original psvita was oled, so it could have been possible). As the resolution is at a solid 720p, which can help balance good enough quality on the go with actual game performance, I feel like they should have opted for a nicer quality screen to have better range of colors, would have created more vivid scenes using sharper and brighter colors. Instead they chose washed out TN panels which leave a lot to be desired when comparing it to any handheld screen semi modern hand held screen with exception of DSs which also chose awful screens. (and some might argue TN for faster response time, and to that, I highly disagree with improvements to other display types, and also for the type of audience the switch aims at) Next I want to talk about the Joycons, as they are lovely little controllers that snap onto the side of the console with a satisfying click. I actually wouldnt have minded them despite being kinda awful when using them on a big screen if they worked correctly, but three years in and these things are still built to fail. There is a major design flaw in them that eventually has the analogue stick wear our and start drifting, making the controller effectively useless. If these were cheap, maybe I wouldnt care as much, but they are 80$ to replace. Sure you can contact nintendo customer support and they sometimes take care of you, but this is a hassle and shouldnt even be a problem. They could have just owned up to the mistake, and redesigned the controllers at this point. ( pro controller is actually a solid design, but its more expensive then both ps4 and xbox one controllers so I dislike recommending it. I believe its the amiibo sensor that does this and thats just bad). Lastly, I kinda wanna just complain about nintendo being nintendo. But before that I want to praise them for how far they did come up to this point. There is finally 3rd party content being pushed on the Switch and thats awesome. It seems like they did listen a bit and made it much easier to get games on the Switch. Ok now onto the bad. The Switch has no utility, and I get that its a gaming console, but still its surprsing that the most mobile and potentially flexible console lacks basic OS features that things like the ps4, psvita, and even 3DS were capable of doing such as, have a variety of streaming services, a basic web browser, and customizing the layout of your home screen/having fun backgrounds. There is no personality to the switch despite it being one of the most unique consoles I have ever seen, which is quite baffling to me. Despite the console featuring bluetooth for its joycons and pro controller, you cant connect bluetooth headphones to it without a 3rd party adapter, which is a little baffling for an on the go console. The UI looks pretty ugly when put onto a big screen, just a personal gripe of mine, I really dont like it. Lastly, the game cartridges are a letdown. The reason games usually feel more expensive on the switch is because they more often then not are. This is due to the game cartridges costing more to make than blu-ray media for the other consoles. Nintendo also didnt want a disparity of cost between physical media and digital media, so if you launch a game both ways, you need to have the price be the same, which creates higher costing digital games on the switch store vs any other platform. The cost of the cartridge also varies depending on size of the game, so larger games will suffer more to this than smaller ones. Thats my loaded opinion which turned more into a typed rant on the switch. Its still a pretty ok console that provides a ton of unique experiences that you cant get on any other platform. As a sole console I dont think I would recommend this unless you fully know what you are getting into, but as a side device to play exclusives its not bad. Hopefully they will release new hardware and software updates to fix many of the gripes I rambled on about.

> 24 hourThe switch is a great console. if you want to read a review of it read some other ones. I want to talk about the seller PartyPieces inc. The switch is sold out everywhere right now. I was able to find this one listed with a 7-day shipping turnaround ( versus months like other listings ). Im happy to say it took only one day extra for me to receive the product. eight days total. I am extremely pleased with sellers honesty and fast turnaround time. highly recommended seller.

> 24 hourI love the switch. And buyong one for my sister made me love it even more as a game console because its so versitile and convenient for travel!! I live it so much. The only downside is that for most games, and for the console itself, you need lots of accessories like a case, or grips for the joycons for comfortability. I also wish that the games were a bit cheaper due to the fact that they are sooo small and they dont hold memeory. Other than that. Id recommend this product to anyone.

> 24 hourThe switch is a awesome gaming console, I use it for the family, here is some of the games I play with the family and maybe some of you guys can incorporate to add family time to play these games with. - Mario Party - Mario Kart - Just Dance - Monopoly - Uno - Carnival - Family Fued - Jack in the Box I recommend the switch because its overall and handy console you can go anywhere with and play games. You can even take it on vacation and play it too. I believe this is worth the $300 you pay for it. Just letting you know by playing some of these games you may burn friendships with you family members since they will probably be salty you beat them in something!

> 24 hourBy far my and my familys favorite gaming system ever! Believe me weve had so many gaming consoles over the years. My 8 year old girl will not put this down! She loves Zelda! We plah Just Dance frequently and it has excellent intelligence to what you are doing. It really gets you moving if you are willing! You can play classic with it hooked up in a dock and connected to the TV (console is very small which is great), or you can put the joy cons on the console and play, of you can play with it looking like a old Nintendo 64 controller or x box/playstation controller. Its also touch screen!
