Nintendo Switch - Mario Red & Blue Edition - Switch

As someone who's been playing on the PS4, the Nintendo Switch is a great change of pace. This is my ever handheld gaming device and I got to say, man is it impressive!For starters, the design of the switch is awesome, not too heavy or light. Every time you slip the joycons on the side of the switch, it makes a satisfying click sound. The dock is great for playing games on your TV or monitor (plus it looks clean too). After spending about 10 hours on the switch, I am satisfied with the joycons and feel no need to purchase the pro controller. Although the joycons are a bit small (perfect for kids), they will get the job done. Next, it is important that you take storage into consideration since the switch only comes with a base of 32 gb. I bought the SanDisk 128 gb card and that will be enough for me. If you plan on playing games like Mortal Kombat, I'd suggest upgrading to 200 and above, since those games take up more storage (ex. MK11 Aftermath is 30 gb). Depending on how much you play, battery life will vary. Of course, more labor-intensive games will drain the battery quicker. I only have two games on my switch so far (Attack on Titan and Fortnite) and those games tend to drain the battery significantly faster. I don’t have any other games to compare to, but while playing AoT, the battery lasted about 4-5 hours before needing a charge. This is super impressive since AoT is an open-world style game with dozens of titans running around the map destroying buildings and such, but frames will drop from time to time if there too much going on at once. Even after playing for a long time, the switch is only some-what warm, which is great if you are playing in handheld mode. Lastly, I want to talk about the price point of the switch. The retail price is $299.99 and that's what I paid for when I bought the Mario Version. It's a steep price since it's alongside the price point of an Xbox or PS4, but it is worth it if you enjoy playing games on the go and love Nintendo titles such as Zelda and Mario. In addition to the retail price of the console, also take into account other expenses such as extra storage (I would only buy the ones from Nintendo, SanDisk, or Samsung), a screen protector (very important in my opinion. The first thing I did when I unboxed the switch was to put on a screen protector), extra controllers and/or joycons, and maybe Nintendo's online membership if you want to play online and with friends (games like Fortnite will not need a membership).All in all, the switch is a great device and I can't recommend it enough. It's a great console for families or if you just want to play alone.

I literally ordered this a couple days before Christmas not only was it the best price and actually for a specialized item that it was pretty much shipped overnight. I cannot believe how fast it got here hands-down amazing.

Ordered Nintendo switch and it arrived few days early, the switch was brand new and the red and blue color looks good I love it and playing games everyday since I got itI love it

This is a great bundle to buy if you are looking for a Switch bundle. The screen protector is nice and the included switch case is great, the quality of both feels good and the all red console looks great, the included items really makes you feel like you are getting $30 worth of items for free.

My 6 year old grandson had been asking for this for awhile. He was excited to get it and has been playing with it when he gets time off from school and sports!

Overall, everything seems fine. I saw several 1-star reviews mentioning that the product arrived broken or that the controller buttons became stiff after a few weeks of use. However, my delivery was smooth, and the item arrived undamaged. I bought it new, but I noticed the box wasn’t sealed, which gave the impression it might have been in storage or previously opened. That’s the main reason I’m giving 4 stars—there was no seal to confirm the product was brand new and unopened.

They enjoy every second with this console.

The Mario red and blue edition Nintendo switch was released to celebrate a game launch, which was super Mario 3d world, and it also was released to celebrate the 35rh anniversary of Super Mario Bros. It came with a carrying case which reflects the red and blue of the console, a screen protector, a dock that matches the switch, joy con straps that are blue, with a nice red blue and gold braided strap, the plastic piece that tightens the strap is a nice yellow, and a blue joy con grip.It doesn't include Super Mario 3D World, but the case and screen protector really makes it worth it.The con is the rails are still black and the kickstand isn't red or blue, but the black looks nice in contrast. This console is the HAC-001-01 model, so it has improved battery life.Don't support scalpers unless you feel like you have to, but they're at least not charging as much as the Animal Crossing New Horizons edition.
