I 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 hadn’t moved to it yet. Also there were no media apps on it besides hulu which somehow is still a thing, surprising. But that isn’t what I want to talk about, its more how the switch feels really damn cheap.
I don’t 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 DS’s 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 wouldn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 shouldn’t 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 that’s 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 don’t 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 didn’t 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.
That’s 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 can’t get on any other platform. As a sole console I don’t 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.

Voy a escribir una reseña prematura ya que solamente venía la consola como tal, cuando compré algún juego les escribo la reseña completa:
En primera, ya tenía ganas de comprar el Switch, me habían dicho que iba a salir una versión de revisión y me esperé a la dicha.
En segunda, llego todo súper bien.
Al momento de abrir la caja, traia unos golpes pero, no por eso mi calificación será menor, puede ser que pase y más por que el envío es de Amazon.
El producto como tal estaba intacto, nuevo, todo en perfecta condición y la instalación fue en menos de 25 mins.
Había dudado de comprarla por el tema de que los Joy Coins decian se barren, la resolución, bla,bla,bla.
En mi punto de vista, no hagan caso, si son fans de Nintendo o quieren descubrir una consola nuevas definitivamente será esta.
Tenía ganas de un Xbox One, pero los precios son altos, y con esta consola estoy más que satisfecho.

I love my switch, I really wanted the PS5 but the switch is the next best thing. I’ve been playing non stop every weekend, cause of course us adults need to work. But I have been gaming every weekend and loving it. Downside, you guys should recommend buying a memory card because I like to download games but the memory isn’t big enough without that card. Other than that, best product I brought in a while.

The nintendo switch in my opinion is one of the best portable consoles in the world. Its very light, very powerful, and is really portable. The nintendo switch gives you possibilities to play wherever you want and whenever you want. Which is something you can’t do with an Xbox one or a PS4. The game selection is constantly expanding with many games some of my favorite being Minecraft and Super Mario Bros Ultimate. I myself am a mario fan and this console lets me play whatever mario game I want in its amazing 720p or 1080p docked screen. The joycons feel awesome in the hand and truly are unique. Overall the nintendo switch is an amazing console by nintendo and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a portable gaming console.

Comprala no es una mala consola, pero asegúrate de comprar con alguno que no sea Tecnoworld. No te harán válida la garantía
La consola viene con errores en los Joycon, que no los reconoce, que falla la palanca, los botones, que se desconecta. En fin varias cosas fallan.
LATAMEL no da servicio de garantía con este vendedor. Y cuando contactas con eñquien corresponde.
1. Te responden hasta que les da la gana
2. Dicen que ya paso su tiempo y que no te van a arreglar nada. (mi compra no tiene ni dos meses y busque solución inmediata)
No es una mala consola, pero SÍ un PÉSIMO SERVICIO.
el error ocurrió a menos del mes de tenerla. Aún así no hacen válida la garantía.
El vendedor es Tecnoworld. 0 recomendados

The media could not be loaded.
No recibí la consola Nintendo switch que solicité, en la caja venían unas toallitas húmedas para bebé y un detergente para piso.

Its as powerful as a modern chunky console but it can fit in your hand! 100% recommend getting or saving up for one. Plus the online for a year is just 20$

Despues de estar en indesicion si comprarlo por internet, por fin me decidi me salio al costo de $7,399.
Llego en tiempo y forma esperada aprox 5-6 dias.
Al llegar, la verdad me daba miedo abrir ya que vi en bastantes reseñas el hecho de haber encargado un Nintendo Switch y haber recibido articulos de despensa 😔 Siento que es un gran descuido de Amazon, ya que nosotros como clientes esperamos con ansias este tipo de articulos.
Yo no corrí con esa mala suerte pero me pongo en el lugar de ellos.
Al abrir mi paquete venia en excelentes condiciones por fuera y por dentro. Por fuera, sin rayaduras, golpes, esquinas golpeadas, etc. Nada de eso. Por dentro, cada articulo empaquetado con bolsa , limpio y nuevo por supuesto.
Me saco de onda solamente que pense que era uno de los Joy con color ROJO y no, es rosa neon. Pero bonito aun asi.
Llevo aprox 3 dias usando el Switch, sin duda fue una buena compra, te entretiene, te diviertes y la pasas agusto un buen tiempo.
Lo que no me agrada tanto es que me es pesado pero yo se que es por el tamaño.
La principal razón para comprarlo fue que estoy pasando por un momento feo en mi vida personal y necesitaba formas de distraer mi mente y un juego que por siempre me ha gustado es Mario kart y Mario Party, asi que ha sido mi terapia.❤

Switch itself is perfect. I guess I should have read the description closer or something. Came with a weird non USA compatible charger. There was a part that was included to make it compatible but it’s so heavy it won’t stay in outlet. Other than the charger it’s perfect. Did have to purchase another since I did not work for us.

I love the unit, it was easy to set up and fun to play. Just wish the correct country’s charger came in the box. Had to borrow my niece’s charger until a new one arrives.
