At home the main unit rests in the Nintendo Switch dock, which connects the system to the TV and lets you play with family and friends in the comfort of your living room.

- One player can use a Joy-Con in each hand
- Two players can each take one
- Multiple Joy-Con can be employed by numerous people for a variety of gameplay options (additional Joy-Con sold separately)
- Slip a set of Joy-Con into a Joy-Con grip accessory, mirroring a more traditional controller. Or, select an optional Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.

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.
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.
I've seen some complaints from people about buying the switch on amazon. When buying it, make sure that it cost 299. If the switch alone costs more than that, you are buying from scalpers. Avoid buying switch bundles. They might seem like a good idea but they often jack up the price to get an insane profit, because you don't actually know how much it costs to make all the various extra add-ons they are supplying. Lastly, make sure it says that the seller of your switch is Amazon.com. If it comes from anyone else, you might be scammed/sold a switch that is supposed to be new but is not.
PROS:
- Great for people who miss the days of mobile gaming. And when I say mobile I don't mean phone games, I mean PS Vita's, DS, etc. The switch gives you the best of both. Sometimes I plug it into the tv big screen and enjoy the beauty of it, but having the option to play in my room or in a car is or literally anywhere is a big plus for those who want to.
- The Price. While in comparison to other consoles the switch is not the best in terms of technology (it's not even close), it is the cheapest. It cost 299 prior to taxes/duty. A digital PS5 is going to cost at least 399, and an Xbox is 499.
- The games. While at launch it might have been a bit sparse, not anymore! There are tons of games available to play, from Nintendo classics to indie games.
- Perfect for casual/busy players. If you're like me, and can't devote your whole life to gaming, the switch is the perfect device. Its cheaper price-tag and mobility make it perfect for gaming for one or two hours a day, without breaking the bank.
CONS:
- Joycon drift. If you buy a switch, expect your joycons to eventually stop working correctly. It hasn't happened to me yet (thankfully), but it will happen. To everyone eventually. For some reason, Nintendo won't fix this. My best bet is they know people get annoyed and just buy new ones instead of waiting for them to sort it out/replace it for free. Be prepared to fork out 80 USD if yours break.
- The "Nintendo Tax". Expect Nintendo games to cost way more than their counterparts. Mario Cart 8, which came out on the Wii U, is still 60 dollars. Old Nintendo games that came out years ago are still selling for full price. Why? Because Nintendo knows you bought the switch just to play these games. Also, the fact that you can still buy these games on game cartridges pushes up the price.
- The dock. The dock is, well, not as advanced as you might expect. It is an electrical part surrounded by a piece of plastic. I highly recommend buying a dock sleeve or a screen protector before using the dock. There have been reports of the dock scratching/ damaging screens because of the plastic scratching against the surface.
- Lastly, the storage. I bought 2 games to start, Animal crossing and Mario cart. Half of my switch's internal storage is now gone. You are going to need to buy an SD card. You do need to be careful however, not all SD cards work with switches. So if you're like me and don't know how the technology works, you might just need to buy the branded SD card for switch, which is more expensive than a regular old sd card. If you are technologically advanced, I highly recommend doing some research to save moeny.

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.

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.

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.
