Introduction to the system/What is a Nintendo Switch?:
The Nintendo Switch is a "hybrid system". Lets break it down to its core do understand what people mean by "hybrid system", lets start with what is basically a gaming tablet with a plastic screen and a multi-touch-touchscreen. This is the "Switch itself" so to speak. For a "console", it is EXTREMELY thin in comparison to a PS4 or Xbox One for example. This also means it takes significantly less energy to run. The internal cooling fan is also significantly quieter than either of the prior two other consoles mentioned.
That multi-touch-touchscreen allows for certain mobile games like Muse Dash, VOEZ, Deemo, and many others to be ported to the Switch without compromising their touch screen gimmicks from their mobile phone counterparts. Despite this, many of them do have support for button controls. Many Switch games gives you options on how you want to play and this is a running theme with the Switch.
Now for the controllers which are "hybrid controllers" in a way. For those of you who used the Nintendo Wii, these "Joy Cons" share and improved upon the motion controls from the Wii days, except in addition to the motion controls, Nintendo also made the actual button layout resemble a regular controller like the button layout found on a Xbox One controller for example. Not that weird button layout on the Wii for example. This means both the Wii crowd can assimilate into this new generation of Nintendo, along side the core gamers who would prefer a more "traditional" controller button set up.
Normally a player would use both Joy Cons together as a pair, whether that be attached to the Switch Tablet itself to be played on the go like a 3DS (be it much longer than a 3DS), at home and connected to a plastic grip that gives you those controller "thighs" to make it easier to hold and to make it feel more like a more traditional controller even more. You can even use the Joy Cons without them being attached to anything like the Wiimote and Numchuck, but without that annoying wire in between your controllers. This "detached" controller style option with the Joy Cons allows you to play in positions otherwise impossible with a more "static" controller. For example, you can play with one arm behind your head while the other arm is resting on your stomach as you play from your bed or couch.
These Joy Cons also have two buttons on the plastic rails that connect them to the Switch Tablet piece. These buttons are functional and you can actually use just a single Joy Con per player in certain supported games.
Key word "supported games". This is where the main issue with the Nintendo Switch lies, Nintendo laid the foundation for developers to have the best tools at their deposal but not all of them use them. Some developers have games that cost less overall on the Switch than their original releases on other systems, or from mobile with mobile's atrocious micro-transactions , meanwhile there's other developers that neither have the full game on the physical game cartridges while having the audacity to be more expensive on the Switch. But again, its ALL developer based. Research the game developers in question to see if you're getting the best value for buying their ports (or original) releases on the Nintendo Switch.
Oh right, this gaming system uses cartridges. Don't worry, they're not those huge ones from the Nintendo 64 days! They're more Nintendo 3DS sized if anything. If the developer you choose did it properly, a entire game can fit on these cartridges. This means you can play those properly done physical releases immediately without any additional downloads. But again, developer based. Some of them DO only "partially" have the game on the Switch Cartridge(s). Do your research.
Now to talk about the Dock that connects the Switch Tablet to a TV.
If you open up the back side of the Dock, there should be two slits near the bottom of the Dock. The Switch Tablet has two air vents that when "docked" should be right up against those vents. Please try not to block off those vents so the Switch Tablet as a easier time cooling itself off while you (and others) play in "TV Mode". The Switch Tablet also has a air-vent on the top. So keep that area of the Switch Tablet clear as well.
This particular model of the Nintendo Switch, model number "HAC-001(-01)", is different from day one Nintendo Switch systems in the sense that Switches with the model number "HAC-001(-01)" have better battery life. For example, day one Switches would run really graphically/resource intensive games for about 2 hours 30 minutes (or 2.5 hours) minimum. Whereas this new "HAC-001(-01)" numbered Switch(es) can run those games for up to 4.5 hours minimum in "handheld mode". The way these "new Switches" accomplish this is by having a more efficient component in the inside of the Tablet piece. This also means these new Switches are more energy efficient and less prone to overheating than the day one models. So this is even helpful for people who would use this gaming system for TV use.
If you don't have a Switch yet, I recommend this model for its versatility. You never know when you'll change your mind on "how" you want to play. I used to use it mostly in TV mode but eventually started using it more and more while outside in general. For example, on the bus, while waiting for something to start whether it be a class, jury duty, meeting, you name it. The Nintendo Switch will make that wait all the less painful. Waiting to be called or dismissed for jury duty especially.
Oh, I almost forgot! You CAN use power banks with the Nintendo Switch! The minimum power requirements for a power bank to work with a Nintendo Switch is 5 Volts, and 2.4 Amps. The cable you use to plug the Switch Tablet with a power bank can be found bundled with the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, or the Nintendo Switch Charging Grip. Both of those products come with the USB cable required to use a Nintendo Switch with a power bank. So even if you manage to drain this new Switch's battery life on a long trip, bring a battery bank and you can extend its battery life even further. But again, this mostly won't be needed unless you're on a air ride for over 7 hours or so. Anything less than that, if you're smart about it, you can get away with just the Switch's battery life.
Speaking of battery life, the Joy Cons each have a estimated battery life of 20 hours each. Let me repeat that, 20 hours. That brings its competition's controllers to shame!
So if you keep your Joy Cons charged overnight (they charge when connected to the Switch Tablet while the Tablet is charging in either the Dock or via battery bank), they ain't going to die unless you deliberately go out of your way not to charge them at least once a week.
When their batteries are completely dead, both the Switch Tablet and one pair of Joy Cons takes about 3 hours to fully charge everything. So if you're able to, put the Switch Tablet with the pair of Joy Cons connected to it, and leave the three of them in the Dock overnight to keep everything nice and charged for tomorrows challenges.
Get creative, once you get used to the options the Nintendo Switch offers, going to anything else, you'll realize that you'd taken for granted with the Nintendo Switch! In my particular case, using the two Joy Cons in each hand unconnected. I can't do that with a keyboard and mouse! So get your Joy Cons, get them in a position that works for you, get cozy on your couch, bed, etc. and have some fun with your game(s) of choice!
Just keep in mind it is a GAMING SYSTEM FIRST, and the "entertainment media center" SECOND. So as of January 15th, 2020 don't expect things like Netflix to be on this machine. If you treat it as a DEDICATED gaming system, you're in for one hell of a ride!
Just don't forget your screen protector since the Switch Tablet's screen is made of plastic!
If you don't want to go through all of them, get this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDWBPMZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It should serve most peoples' needs. Its durable, cheap, anti-glare, self heals from minor scratches, etc. Its the most value for the price I've found from searching through all of what Amazon has as far as Switch Tablet screen protectors go.
As far as the "system itself" goes, this is pretty much all of the information that you'd need. Everything else is developer centered, game wise. Do your research, and think very carefully which developers will give you the best bang for your buck!
So a little background, I was a enthusiastic PC gamer in college who built my own PCs for the purpose and am now - due to the demands of adulthood - someone who only plays the occasional game. My last handheld Nintendo console was the black and white Game Boy Pocket in the early 90's, so I've been away from the platform ---- a while.
I bought the Switch purely because I learned they had ported Skyrim to it, and as a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls genre I was hoping to devote some of my train commute to questing around Tamriel. In this sense, the Switch does not disappoint. I am not a graphics connoisseur, but - compared to the PC version - Skryim plays really well on the Switch. No perceptible lag, colors are crisp. Yes, it's missing the expansions and yes, the text can be a little small, but that's a fair trade-off for the portability this platform brings.
So far, I only own 2 games - Skyrim and MarioKart 8 (another throwback to my college dorm days on the N64), and I love playing both on the Switch, MaroKart is obviously the newer game and so the graphics and gameplay are much better but I'm a still a sucker for Skyrim (at least until the next ES is released, hopefully in my lifetime).
Anyway, all this to say the Nintendo Switch is a great console for busy adults who want to reminisce about the fun they had 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. The Switch doesn't take itself too seriously (which I love) but that means it might not be the right choice for people concerned with the perfect graphic or gameplay experience - there are dedicated consoles that do this much better. What the Switch does is make gaming on the go effortless, fun for the average busy person and something you can really enjoy with your whole family - which I think was Nintendo's real goal here all along.

If you prefer to play online multiplayer games, a subscription to Nintendo Switch Club is required and a yearly subscription costs $29 CAD but also provides benefits like cloud-saving for your games and the ability to play NES and SNES games on your Switch. If you prefer not to subscribe, you can still access the Nintendo eShop to buy digital games for your Switch console and play offline.
Some people have argued that buying from a specific retailer will give you 20 times the loyalty points. For those thinking about doing that instead of purchasing from Amazon, here are some things to consider:
1. The other retailer usually does not accept returns so if your Switch is defective/damaged straight out of the box, you're out of luck with getting the retailer to replace it. Instead, you'll need to reach out to Nintendo directly for your warranty/replacement options. Amazon however, offers buyer's protection for your purchase.
2. Some store locations are still selling the V1 model of this Nintendo Switch. If you prefer to buy from this certain retailer for their 20x loyalty points, please make sure you're getting the V2* version of the Switch. I still see the V1 version of the Switch stocked at some store locations so buyer beware.
(*Wait, what's this "V2 Nintendo Switch" talk? Well not too long ago, Nintendo made some critical changes to the Switch's system performance so now the revamped Switch has a battery runtime of 4.5 to 9 hours (according to Nintendo) whereas the original launch Switch only had 3 hours battery runtime. Moving forward, all Nintendo Switches being made will have this increased battery life and the easiest way to determine whether you have a V1 or V2 Switch is to look at the box that it came in. If the box cover has a red background on the left side of the cover, it's the newer V2 Switch. If the box cover has a Switch on a white table, it's the V1 version.
Overall, every gamer and every family should have a Nintendo Switch. It's perfect to kill time on your subway commute to and from work or have it keep your kids busy during long car trips. The OG Switch can dock with your TV so when you're home, you can play your games on a big screen and when it's time to go out or go to bed, you can take the Switch with you and continue where you left off.
