Nintendo Switch Video Game Console with Neon Blue and Neon Red JoyCon, 32 GB Data Storage

First, I purchased this system and Zelda simultaneously. I also picked up Snipperclips, so my review is largely based on having two great games for the system on purchase date. Everything you've seen or heard about the switch is accurate, with the possible exception of the controller pairing issues (I haven't experienced them). It looks great on a TV, it's easy to set up, it looks great on its own screen, and it's easy to convert between the various play configurations. In the box it comes with the attachments to turn the joycons into a traditional single player controller for TV play, or bumpers with wrist straps for Wii-style or head-to-head play. One of the joycons has an IR window on it, making me wonder if it might have some upcoming universal-remote like functionality planned. The only surprise is how small it was. You see that in the videos, but it's light and compact in a way that's surprising. It really is a portable game system stepped up a notch. Since my purchase I've played on TV single player and with my kids. I've set up the kickstand outside of the house and played co-op with friends. I've used the system with joycons attached DS/PSP style in bed, in a car, and I've considered taking it on public transit (I've seen two on the bus). It's hard to overstate how nice it is being able to play the same game TV/handheld/portable co-op, especially when you have children. That was a winning feature of the WiiU as well, but this system does it so much better.

The Nintendo has been great for the family and me. They enjoy playing the one two three switch while I get to play Zelda during the evening. The size of the controller is perfect for their small hands to hold in to tight and comfortable enough for me to play while in controller mode. I am enjoying my purchase.
