Great for kids and bargain price – Just picked up a refurbished console from EB games for a fraction of the cost of a new one. Games are hard to find locally in regional Victoria but… Read more
plenty available online. The graphics are a major improvement to the wii. It is backwards compatible with wii games and controllers so you can still keep to your old wii games. My kids haven't touched the wii in a long time but are loving the upgraded wii u.

Charger really lacks the "universal" in universal serial bus c, guides on network connection issues for the switch provided by nintendo are very… Read more
unhelpfully, as are much of its settings menus, the x, y, a, b button layout is much more of an issue than you would expect coming from any other console as are the intended function of each of those buttons, store is confusing, limited in range, difficult to set up, the console is underpowered for the games specifically made for it
Wii Big Brain Better , Switch 50 points bad – Wii Big brain is SOOOO much better , On Wii when you challenge someone you do get similar puzzles but not at the same time so you cannot cheat ,… Read more
with the switch everyone gets the same puzzle so they can cheat by looking at what the others are choosing, and a massive let down is the chance to get 50 points if you have less than 50 points , so if one person is on 49 and the other is on 51 , the one on 49 has a chance to get 50 points , STUPID. , cant turn this option off. Others also complained about this.
Unfortunately the Switch 2 is the worst Nintendo console I have owned. Everything is so cheaply made and designed to extract more money from you. The… Read more
screen scratches way too easy, no spare usb on the dock, no charging grip included, the transfer process front Swith 1 is genuinely ret#rded, i could go on. But worst of all there are no great gam3s. Bananza is a joke and the hi res upgrades to previous titles are nothing to get excited about
Lots of Nostalgic fun! – Picked this up to get my son into some wholesome games, my husband assisted him in learning the controls next thing I know my husband is on it all… Read more
the time. He is enjoying reliving all the old games he grew up on, the system is quick to load, all games pre loaded to easy to navigate between games. Well worth the investment for a starter consol or even for holidays.
Great for helping play the game to catch as many as you can – This is a great product for those Pokémon go players on the move. Can be used to catch Pokémon and spin stops in the background and the bonus of… Read more
using different poke balls feature improves catch rate on community days.
The sleep feature is good but seems to be a little buggy in that it only records 4 hours even though you sleep longer. Does not matter to much as you still get the bonus rewards and sleeping snorlax.
If you don’t like something vibrating constantly in your pocket this is not for you when playing. There is a solution to this which involves opening it up and cutting the wire to the vibration piece but it will void your warranty. Don’t worry but as plenty of folks layers have done this with no issues.
It’s eye catching to other players and can be a conversation starter when out and about. It flashes bright colours, does sing you to sleep at night, but once you have that limited edition snorlax challenge done you don’t need to use that feature.
Catch them if you can.
Palkia and Dialga switch lite – Great purchase, I like the theming of the exterior and it is very good in general. Still no auto brightness tho :(
Love it – I like the XL for several reasons: its screen is 90% larger, and although the number of pixels is the same as the smaller 3DS, it looks great in all games. It also feels stronger and has a slightly longer battery life
Nintendo
Just got the new switch and signed up for Nintendo online (7 day trial), thinking it gives all the old console games. It gave a few dozen super… Read more
Nintendo and original Gameboy consoles for $30. I thought id get the expansion, which is another $30 and gives all the consoles, it's only got 3 cube games, and doesn't even have pokemon on GBA - such a dud offering (or yellow on the original GB lol). I contacted Nintendo to cancel the next day, they said because I upgraded it voided the 7day free trial. So I complain and after 2 weeks I email again saying wth, and they just flat out say nup.
Big Nintendo, new $700 console, will be buying a bunch of (not cheap) new games and they're scamming these deals, what a joke of a support service.
Good – the games that go with this is great giving a good upper body work out and brings up a sweat. I love using the nunchuks as it means I get to uses… Read more
both hands and not favour one side whilst exercising. easy to use light weight buttons, make the nunchuck fun, simple and unobtrusive. It would be better if they didn't have the cord to connect them so you could have your arms further apart if you wanted I use this for two boxing games, and I love it. the cord to connect it. should be infra-red and therefore non restrictive
Nintendo 3DS
Great game! – Love my 3ds!! It's so much better than the 2ds which came out after. It actually displays everything in 3D which is awesome! I got it for my birthday and It's the best gift I have ever received :)
Nintendo 2DS
its a homebrew beast – the nintendo 2ds is great aside from its ugly looks it is a great option to play games on the go weather you are a child or an adult the nintendo 2ds has you covered
Excellent Controller – This was my fav controller ever till I experienced PS5 haptic response controller. Still, this is WAY lighter and you can game for ages with it no… Read more
worries. It’s got great buttons, the layout is perfect, and it is reliable; out of the four I own, not one has ever had an issue. The only reason I’m not giving it five stars is because I wish it had haptic. Bought them all over time when on sale.
More First Party Games Than Everyone Else! – My original, day one, Switch, was starting to struggle playing games. I upgraded to the OLED model and not only do the games perform better, they… Read more
look better in handheld mode. There is a negative to this model in playing handheld - it’s terribly uncomfortable and hurts my hands. Nintendo have done something weird here because the Nintendo Lite, which you can only play handheld, feels great! But it doesn’t have the OLED screen. There are third party controls or devices you can add to the Switch OLED to make it more comfortable to hold but I haven’t bothered because I play with it docked on the TV anyway.
Besides ergonomics, the screen is beautiful and there’s a more first party exclusive games on the Nintendo Switch than the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S/X and Xbox One combined! So many games! And, you can just insert the game cartridge and play a game. I love this. I have the exact opposite experience with the PS5 that demands long downloads of games and sometimes that doesn’t even work. I hate the constant management of the PS5 so much I’ll be trading it in during the next EB deals. I want a console that just plays games, plays heaps of games, and plays them well and I have all that with the Switch.
