The perfect product for any user!

It is worth taking first of all for the sake of exclusives: Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wind and others. They are superbly made and bring out all the convenience of controlling the JoyCons. Unfortunately, there are still few of them, and cross-platform games on the same Steam will be several times cheaper. Some pros: - Exclusives - The design of the console itself - Build quality - Convenient and original controllers (they produce the main wow effect) Has some cons - Assortment and prices for…

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

I bought a console with ONE game at the end of May. I'm 16 years old. So at the end of June I noticed that the console was gradually falling apart. The warranty was denied, it was and now the console is practically not functioning. The prices for games are simply sky-high. to say, issue a guarantee for a year, and not for a month like me. I advise you to buy a console if you have money.

Pros
  • Portability, more or less good games
Cons
  • The console is falling apart, high prices for games

Essentially - Wii U 2.0. Still the same problem with hardware, while looking at smartphone graphics on a large TV is not very pleasant, and portability with such autonomy is so-so. If there will be ports of major titles from PC and other consoles, it will be something like Call Of Duty on DS, a version with graphics at the level (if not worse) of low on PC, or even more cuts at a hefty price. This console isn't that terrible, it's just niche. But if you're expecting something other than…

Pros
  • Assembly, design - a feeling of an expensive device is created. The idea of ​​hybridity is the future of such consoles. Accelerometers and gyroscopes, improved vibration in the controllers, their separation - all this makes it possible for game developers to create very interesting gameplay. Yes, and as already mentioned here, this is perhaps the best console for a company of players - largely due to such management. Games - our country is certainly not used to Nintendo, but in fact they are no worse, and sometimes even better, than the average AAA titles, especially the last 2 years. A lot of interesting exclusives are announced.
Cons
  • The ideas of this console are very good, but such savings on everything will again make it a completely separate product in the gaming market. The screen is still the same as with the 3DS lottery, it is not known whether you will get TN or IPS. Plastic glass - it will be scratched or cracked very easily, you must buy a film and a cover (if you plan to take it with you). Also an air gap. The Nvidia Tegra X1 chip is not only outdated (and the new X2 would hardly give at least PS3 exclusive graphics), it also heats up like a stove and even active cooling does not save it, which means cutting down on already weak graphics. Because of this, it is the same rotten competitor to the PS4 and XB1, which the Wii U used to be. The battery does not last long, 3-4 hours. Nintendo's attitude towards software. The browser (with which this console can replace the tablet) was cut out, due to a vulnerability (!). The same vulnerability was back in the 3DS. Fighting pirates by cutting potential. And "cherry on the cake" - hellish prices for games, even small ones. The console itself is also too expensive.

Wonderful quality, one hundred percent satisfied!

It feels like a fairly good device, although there are small backlashes of the joycons when connected to the set-top box, it’s not critical, if I hadn’t read about it before, I wouldn’t have noticed much. The sticks look a little flimsy, but after a couple of months they work properly. I especially liked that the launch is instant, no downloads and manipulations. One button, three clicks and off we go. The sound is quite good, both with and without headphones. The image is not bad, especially…

Pros
  • Portability. Even for the full version (not light), it is quite convenient and compact. Autonomy. I play at maximum brightness for a long time, sometimes through the speakers, sometimes through the headphones. Games. Very cool exclusives, and there are favorite hits. Friendly interface. No problems with setup, connection or use.
Cons
  • Screen. In my opinion the biggest disadvantage. Strong glare and in bright light you see yourself, your eyes get tired instantly. It will be impossible to play on a sunny day. (it's good that I'm from St. Petersburg)) Built-in memory, could make 128gb and for everyone the question of the need to buy an additional card would immediately be closed. Not all games can be found on cartridges, and there are discounts in the online shop, which is probably more profitable if there is no idea to resell the game in the future. There is no way to connect headphones via bluetooth without additional devices.

Good value for money, I recommend it.

Pros below: 1. Games. Bought for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey. Didn't regret it. 2. Pleasant system menu. Nothing extra. 3. Hybridity. Although I use it mainly in portable mode, the ability to sometimes play from the TV delivers. Has some cons 1. High input lag of joycons, even in portable mode when they are attached to the console. Especially noticeable when scrolling through the system menu, menus in games. Wherever I asked, no one notices this, so either I have a

I'm satisfied, the product is exactly as described.

This is not my first Nintendo console. There are many in my collection. And although on the one hand it is a really cool console, on the other hand it has a lot of flaws. Therefore, the console would not recommend. We must wait for the second version, or better buy GPD WIN 2. Different pros: Good quality build. Nice bright screen. Quick start games, you can take on the road. Cons below: Ultra low run time. You do not have time to really play, as the battery has already sat down. The almost…

Not a bad product, but I expected a little more.

There are no cons and no pros, just someone might find it useful: The set-top box has active cooling, i. E. a fan spins inside, over time it can become clogged with dust. And because there are many large holes on it, then the prefix must be used carefully so that sand or drops of water do not get there. Also, over time, the fastening of the joycons will most likely loosen because you often take them out of the console. Some games, even bought on a cartridge, require installation in internal…

Pros
  • + There are some good games. So far I've bought Zelda and Skyrim and these games should last a long time. There is also Doom, LA Noir and a couple of other games ported from other consoles. As for the rest of the games, they are specific, designed mainly for a children's audience, as well as fans of Japanese games, and if you are used to games on a PC or Playstation / Xbox, then Nintendo games may not be of interest to you, I tried - somehow not hooked, although you might like it, so check the reviews before buying. + Graphics. There are no complaints here, of course it is inferior to other platforms, but everything is fine on a small screen, and when connected to a TV it is quite normal, somewhere between PS3 and PS4. + Management. It is quite convenient, there is also a special mount for joycons in the kit, which turns them into an almost full-fledged gamepad in terms of convenience, but if you wish, you can buy a full-size gamepad with large buttons and sticks. + You can play in two on one screen, one of the main features of the switch. You can have fun with your friends. Comes with 2 joysticks. +Using microSD cards. Nintendo did not get smart and use expensive proprietary memory cards, like the PS Vita, this is a plus.
Cons
  • -Perhaps the main one is the price of games, they cost an average of 2 to 5 thousand, including indies. Someone may object, saying that on other consoles the games cost about the same. Yes, but only at the start, and in a month or two they can easily become cheaper by 2 or more times and you can buy games (including major hits) on PS4 at prices ranging from 500 to 2022. There are no such discounts on Nintendo, the maximum that you can count on is 20-30 percent, and then rarely and not at all. The price of indie games in general can differ by an order of magnitude. If on a PC or PS4 you can buy a game for 100-500, then on a switch it can easily cost 1000-2022 (regular indie game). -Small operating time. In demanding games like Zelda, it's 2.5, maximum 3 hours. On PS Vita, for example, at least 5 hours. -No internet browser. Yes, it is not required for a game console, but a useful thing, especially in this tablet format it would fit perfectly. -The set-top box is bulky and heavy, you can’t put it in your pocket like PS Vita or 3DS. Those. carry with you only in your bag. Weight is about 400g, which is 2 times more than PS Vita Slim. -Digital eshop. Inconvenient search for games, it's hard to find something. But I buy on cartridges, which I advise you. -Stand, it is absolutely not convenient and not practical. I don't know what the engineers were thinking when they created it. Well, at least there is and you can somehow put it on a flat surface, and that's okay.

Great quality, happy with it one hundred percent!

This console makes a much more stunning impression when it falls into the hands. On the screen in presentations and reviews, I perceived it with a heavy dose of skepticism. Well, what is this portable mode and tiny joy-cons? Are you seriously? Why is this all? For games on a large TV there are normal devices. For pocket gaming, the tablet market is oversaturated. What is this ARMS and 1-2-switch? We experienced such a revolution back in the days of the wii. It's a completely different feeling…

Pros
  • Portability, namely the size of all components, including cartridges for games that are slightly larger than an SD card. Takes up very little space on the TV. Game media is easy to store. The game "with the same hands" on the big screen and in the subway.
Cons
  • Little content. To date, there are games, something has been announced, but still not enough. I bought the console in anticipation of the release of Mario Odyssey.
