    Use it as a teaching device

    Great gamer for a boy or girl. School age my grandkids do not want to put it down. Parents you will need to monitor their time on the gaming. It’s worth the $$$ the graphics are really good

    Universally used and loved

    This was bought for my youngest grandson (7) who is very cunning and feels like he’s being left behind by older brother (14/17). The switch allows him to keep up in the gaming world as long as he keeps his studies up, does his chores, etc. Glad I did not have such distractions.

    Perfect birthday gift for my son

    I wanted to find a different way for my son to play Minecraft other than on the computer and this is it!The graphics look great on the Switch screen, he loves building and exploring worlds, and the multiplayer option means we can play together, which makes it even better.Honestly, this was the perfect for someone who is creative, and this is something he’ll enjoy for a long time.
