What customers say about "Multimedia"
Nintendo Switch Handheld Game Console
  • The online shop is stuffed with indie games and some 1990's favorites from SNK.
  • The online multiplayer is very smooth (a lot smoother than I expected) which is perfect for playing with friends.
  • The switch is great for multiplayer use and one player as well.
  • I love how it has parental controls and a timer on it so my boys won't be on the game all night long.
  • Games are still nonexistent, the interface is boring and incomplete, the store has no media available yet. No other media apps available.

  • It’s the perfect handheld in every way.
  • Works well, no problems.
  • Incredible build quality - buttons feel sturdy and responsive with no rattle from joysticks.
  • Plenty of accessories and protectors to your heart's content.

What customers say about "Power"
Nintendo Switch Handheld Game Console
  • The great thing is that it auto sleeps if you stop playing it. Saving battery juice.
  • Zelda looks great on it and the sleep mode is amazing. Three days on sleep mode and it only used 16% battery.

  • I bought this for my son two months ago; he is very unhappy now because the battery drains quickly and he can't take it anywhere.
Nintendo Switch Lite Handheld Game Console
  • The battery life is good, and it is compatible with most of the Switch Library.
  • It has a long battery life.
  • Impressive battery life - several hours of gameplay at even the highest brightness settings.
  • Battery life is ok, played for two hours and battery went down to 50%.
