Product reviewsNintendo Switch Console with Neon Blue/Neon Red Joy-Con Controllers, 2017

Small but powerful

Still in awe that they managed to pack this much power into such a compact system, but that's Nintendo for you. Both the system and its UI are fun and easy to use - plus the satisfying 'click' of sliding the joycons into place never gets old.

However I still don't think it's good value for money, with its retail price at around £279, you're better off finding a deal for at least £250. Bear in mind, the console doesn't come with a game (unlike previous systems) so you'll be spending £50 on that, plus another £60 for extra joycons.

Overall I am pleased with the system so far. I only have Splatoon 2, but it's been keeping me occupied. My only gripe is the hefty price of peripherals but Nintendo did need to recover financially from the Wii U. Read full review...

Has issues

After having a wii and a wii U, I found that the Switch is not up to the usual Nintendo quality of hardware, in fact it feels cheap and plasticky. It has multiple problems, just google them.

We suffered the "joy con not connecting" problem, I had to take it apart and found a connector pin was out of place, I managed to repair this fault, but I have the equipment and skills to do this.

I would wait a while until all the problems are resolved. Im surprised that Nintendo released a product with so many faults. I will be surprised if this Switch lasts a year, even with careRead full review...

Great for Christmas

Great item, love playing with family members. There are plenty of multiplayer games to play on, lots of genres for everyone. The set up to the tv is easy and it's really simple to connect and disconnect from it aswell. The screen size is great for single playing, for multiplayer it's better on the TV and the controllers are easy to navigate aswell. Would definitely recommend!! A++Read full review...

Great present till it came to charge

Great present, easy to set up and use, little one loved it on Christmas Day until it needed charging. The charger did not work. I have had to go out and buy a new charging cable and plug, not a great thing for a small child to understand with his new toy !
New cable purchased and he now enjoys using it daily . Would recommend one for anyone of any age, games are very good. Read full review...

Best console I've ever used!

And of any console or gaming system/PC, this is the best and most fun to play on! So customisable for your style of play, always has two controllers so you can split it for multiplayer whenever you want, ZELDA, MARIO ODYSSEY/KART, can plug into big screen whenever, motion controls, great battery life for the power (can play for longer than my laptop).

It's just amazing! Anyone who loves to have fun (don't even need to be a gamer) should get one. Great to play solo or in a group, and up to 8 controllers can connect at once!Read full review...

Best console in years

I own the PS4 Pro and a high-end gaming pc, but this is the most fun I've had playing games in years.

The fact that I can play on my big TV screen at home, then just pick it up and take it wherever I'm going and continue playing is just amazing.

Nintendo have done a fantastic job with this console and the game library do far is really strong!Read full review...

Great but, as all consoles, expensive

I am very happy for buying this console, good graphics and great entertainer, it is one of the most expensive as games are expensive (somewhere around 40-50 pounds). Waiting for more games to be on. My daughter loves it when we play Mario and more. A lot of settings to be done but a lot of options after. Easy to use but battery drains if on standby. Haven't used the wrist bands yet, don't know how that goes yet.Read full review...

Multiplayer Parties Are Finally Back!

At last, a games console that supports people gathered in the same room again!

Nintendo have brought back social gaming via 8x player single-screen and LAN (multi Switch consoles). Via LAN we finally get to play Mariokart with 12x Switches and TVs. Amazing fun!

The graphics are good enough, plus it's portable. There's so much flexibility in these consoles. Love them!

However if your a lone gamer that wants the best graphics, then maybe look to PC or latest consoles.Read full review...

Perfect

Absolutely perfect, couldn't of asked for a better deal on an amazing product. It came with all the added features including controllers and charging dock.

Nintendo is back in the game.

The switch is a great family games console with bags of potential, the current wave of games sets the bar high for Nintendo to be more prominent in a crowded video games industry, proving innervation can still change the game in a way not expected by many pro/casual gamers alike and most of all it's brought the tone down back to fun gaming which quite frankly is a rarity now days on XBONES/PS4's so rejoice in a very bright future for gaming.Read full review...
