I got my Switch about two weeks ago. I already have 5 games for it: Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Fast RMX, and Mr Shifty. I've VERY pleased with all 5 of them. They are all great. I've never gotten 5 games for a system so quickly, so yeah I'm pretty pleased with it. The first week or so I only played in handheld mode and loved it, except played some two player Fast RMX with my brother in tabletop mode and that was just a freakin cool experience being able to play a handheld multiplayer. Then when I got splatoon I finally took my tv out of the closet and played in tv mode and that was even cooler! The Switch is an amazing console. The whole hybrid thing is highly satisfying. Love the joycons, though obviously playing two player, one with each joycon, is a bit cramped but still works and is really cool.

Joycons are awesome, being able to play handheld or tabletop or tv mode is so cool, games are great, graphics are aweosme, the whole system is a dream!

I haven't even gotten into Zelda that much so far because I started off beating Mr Shifty which is a great game, then played a some Fast RMX, Mario Kart, and Zelda. Then got Splatoon and man that game is fun! Put more time into Splatoon so far than all the other games combined. Need to get more into Zelda though! Next game I'll get is Mario.

My only gripe is Nintendo STILL sucks at online. How is it possible to be this bad at online in 2017. Having to use a phone app to chat is just weird. But the thing that really irked me is yesterday I played online Mario Kart against my brother who got a Switch same day as me, and I realized you can't join matchmaking together! We just had to play against each other with a bunch of CPU opponents. That is incredibly lame. I almost felt like I had to apologize to my brother for how much Nintendo sucks at online. Nintendo has two premiere multiplayer games for this year (MK and Splatoon) and they didn't even provide normal lobby/invites/matchmaking with it for playing with friends in one of them. WTH?!?!
