If you look at Nintendo’s list of exclusive games and think, “Yeah, I’m all about that”, dive in. This is a fun console that offers play on your TV screen or handheld (switch… duh). With multiple controller configuration options including extra peripherals that will make your controller become a steering wheel, a golf club, a fishing pole, and a fitness ring just to name a few, there is a lot of fun and creativity built into Nintendo’s latest console.
Add to all of this, with a Nintendo Online subscription you get access to tons of free and low cost games. They have included a virtual NES and SNES console with a good selection of classic games. There are also other free games like Tetris 99 and the new Super Mario 35 which are loads of fun. There are also lots of other games that can be had for as little as $2.99
If however you’re looking for a console to play the latest cross platform hits, you’re probably better off with a PC or one of the next gen gaming consoles. Playing a big cross platform game, you will notice a difference in graphics quality. The Switch only displays in HD, while every other console (and pc) is up to 4K now. Plus the Nintendo controllers, while fun and creative, will not hold up to long term play for something like a FPS. They are fun controllers, and work perfectly for the Nintendo games, but they feel like they would ultimately break after a few serious button mashing sessions. If you’ve seen all the drama about controller drift, you now know why.
Bottom line is if you’re all about Nintendo exclusives like Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Metroid? (please?), get this console. It will provide a great deal of entertainment. If you’re trying to play the big gaming hits available across all consoles and PC, there are better options.

I absolutely love my Nintendo Switch. The ability to seamlessly switch between handheld and TV mode is a game-changer for me. I can easily take my favorite games on the go and then pick up right where I left off when I get home.
The variety of games available for the Switch is impressive, and I especially enjoy the selection of first-party titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. The joy-cons are comfortable to use and the motion controls add an extra level of immersion to gameplay.
The only downside I have found with the Switch is the battery life when playing in handheld mode. I often find myself having to stop and recharge the console after a few hours of play.
Overall, the Nintendo Switch has brought me countless hours of entertainment and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and enjoyable gaming experience.

O Switch é FINO!
Muito bem construído, embalado e agradável na hora de jogar, principalmente se forem indies e jogos de plataforma no geral. A tela é bonita, brilhosa, bem grandona (usando um iphone SE de 2a geração talvez eu esteja enviesado) e definitivamente NÃO torna esse console portátil. Você com certeza precisará carregar ele dentro de alguma bolsa, mas o tamanho da tela compensa esse fator.
Os Joycon são maravilhosos e muito bem acabados. Costumo jogar no PC utilizando um dualsense, então minha expectativa não era exatamente baixa para esse componente. O dock é muito fácil de utilizar, cumprindo a função numa boa.
Não custa barato. Mesmo com a moeda não valendo nada atualmente, ele seria naturalmente um console mais caro do que o normal devido ao acabamento. O 3DS é um brinquedo perto do Nintendo Switch.
Baita console guys. Os caras inovaram.

Sure, it’s no PS4 or PS5, but it’s an incredible little machine with such incredible versatility in such a tiny package. While it might not have the pure processing power and graphics capability of the other two major systems it does do what Nintendo has done best for a long time, provide a reasonably priced quality portable gaming system. The advantage this time is that the Switch is both a home console and a portable console in one unit. This is something that consoles in general have never really been able to do until now and it’s amazing how great the game quality is even in this small form factor.
I mean, the Wii was good in the motion control but the gimmick did wear after a bit. The WiiU really felt like a disappointment in that it just didn’t bring much to the table and Nintendo clearly wasn’t going to be able to compete in the home console market against the other two juggernauts. What Nintendo has always been great at though is dominating the portable gaming market and the switch sees them bringing their expertise in the portable market to the home console market in a power play that really paid off in my opinion.
Now, this system does still suffer from some of Nintendo’s generally less favorable business practices so do take that in to account. The price for the Switch itself actually isn’t that unreasonable so I don’t fault them for that whatsoever. The peripherals, on the other hand, really put a dent in the pocketbook if you need to buy anything that didn’t come in the box (and you probably will need to at some point, let’s be honest). The price of games also comes at a premium just as it has with past Nintendo systems as you will rarely see even older games every discounted or put on sale while such things are very common with the the competing systems. For instances, “Zelda: Link’s Awakening”, which has roughly 13 to 15 hours of content, will still cost you $60 which is incredibly high for a game that offers so little content with little replay value. Sadly Nintendo has a tendency of doing this and always has so do be prepared to pay premium prices for most games with the Switch.
All in all I still think the unit is worth it particularly since you just can’t find a better portable gaming platform than this. I definitely recommend getting the Switch over the Switch Lite as those are fully integrated and if you bust an analog stick or a button you’re pretty much screwed. With a Switch you can replace the side controllers as you need and we all know controller buttons and analog sticks can wear over time so that alone is worth it. I mean, for $100 more you get a heck of a lot better of a system than you do with a lite so I highly recommend going this route if you’re looking in to a Switch.

O Console é excelente, chegou bem embalado e dentro do prazo. Gosto muito pelo fato de vir com todos os acessórios necessários para que o console seja portátil, mas também poder conectar na tv.
Infelizmente o produto veio com defeito em um botão, mas rapidamente o suporte técnico da Nintendo me atendeu e fez o reparo com a garantia. Em aproximadamente 1 semana eu já estava com o produto reparado.

The Nintendo Switch is the best!! It’s portable, light weight, and perfect for gaming on the go. The unboxing and setup experience was easy and straight forward. It has lots of fun games and Nintendo exclusives making it a great gaming system. The battery lasts long and the product itself feels very high quality too. I use my Switch mostly in handheld mode but playing in TV mode is just so much better because of the 1080p output and bigger screen. The joy-cons feel very nice in the hand and the HD rumble makes the games feel so much more immersive. The dock is also not as big as I thought it would be and it doesn’t take up much space either. There is even a HDMI cable included so even if you don’t have a spare one, you don’t have to worry because it’s already included in the box.
Also another thing to note, the Switch does not have a built in microphone, so in order to voice chat with your friends in online games like Fortnite, you have to connect a pair of headphones that have a mic, use a gaming headset, or use the Nintendo Switch Online app on your phone or tablet. Some games also require the Nintendo Switch Online Subscription in order to play online but its very cheap and affordable at only $4.99/month or $24.99/annually. I am glad that Nintendo has chosen to keep the online subscription prices so low!
The Nintendo Switch and its games are expensive but I am glad I bought it because it’s worth the money and gives you so many hours of play time.

The Nintendo switch is a perfect Christmas gift for all ages. The quality of the buttons and screen hold up very well. The sound while playing is unmatched. I would recommend this even at the cost. Well worth the money!

I’ve enjoy various things on the switch from its capability to go to the tv screen to me simply playing in the passenger seat on the road very comforting experience , the speakers were loud for the size of the console, Very good quality for the value of money you spend, the battery life is long as I’ve played for multiple hours and haven’t had to recharge, it’s portability is unmatched compared to any newer generation console!

I have been a Nintendo fan ever since I was very young and have probably played games on every console that has been released by them but I must honestly say that these are some of the funnest games that I have ever played on a Nintendo console before. I have large hands and thought at first that the JoyCons might be too awkward as there were several people complain about this. It turns out, the JoyCons fit in my hands comfortably (even when horizontal) and had an insane amount of fun with my friend. The games on the surface might seem expensive but when you think about it, are exactly the same as every other console. Most of the games only require one copy of the game and only one console to play the game with a friend. This is the first time this was ever possible with a portable console (to the best of my knowledge). With the 3ds (Ds, Gameboy, etc.) you had to buy two copies of the consoles and two copies of each game (unless it had download play, but it was usually very limited), You would have to buy two copies of $40 to be able to play together and that right there costs $80. Some DS games were $50 and you needed two copies for multiplayer and that would cost $100. Not all the games on Switch are $80. There’s a lot of fun ones in the $30-49 range.
The games I would recommend are: Super Smash Ultimate – a lot of content and is the best Super Smash Bros. I have played
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – More modes and tracks than any other released Mario Kart
FNAF Core Collection – Lots of fun and really scary lol, I wouldn’t recommend this game for little kids though.
Sonic Mania Plus – Best Sonic Game on the Switch and is one of my favorite Sonic games I have ever played.
Snow Runner – I got it on sale and you might be able to as well. It’s relaxed and slow-paced but cool game and it’s difficult. The game is realistic as well and the graphics are pretty good!
All in all, I would recommend this console.
