The Nintendo Switch is a handheld/docked game console. For kids like me

I'm mostly a pc guy for the more performance demanding games. But the Switch is a fun way to switch it up a little (pun intended)

Funny you say that
The latches that keep the joy cons attached to the main body are made of plastic, and the rail they click into is metal. This eventually wears down the plastic latch making them unable to click solid onto the device.
Ordered a pair of metal latches as replacement, will be taking my joy cons apart as soon as they arrive

I have an Xbox one now. Mostly for streaming. But do enjoy stuff like Forza. Switch isn't for me. But I did want to try the Wii with the Mario maker gamer!!

The Switch rules!! Our entire family loves using it. I’ve been on Zelda for months and my son and wife play Mario Cart and a few other games. It’s a brilliant product!

I LOVE using my Switch for travel purposes as a portable device. However, if I'm at home in front of the TV I prefer my Xbox One.

I had to fix my son’s Switch when a controller malfunctioned. After it was fixed, I “tested” it for like half an hour. It is an amazing piece of tech compared to my original Gameboy I grew up with!

I saw some videos for little cardboard attachments for the switch. Anyone know what I am talking about? They look pretty cool, but expensive for cardboard.

This looks awesome. I’ve always been a big gamer of PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo. I feel like each one brings something fresh and exciting to the table. Anyway, I may have to pick one of these up!
