The game is awesome. Expansive, will keep you busy and entertained for hours and days and weeks. It's not for everyone, though... it diverts from the usual Zelda 'holding your hand' recipe and instead slaps you with freely-roaming, no restricted objectives open world. Impressive and great, but only if you like NOT having to stick to a strict storyline and objective order and tackle the game in any way you see fit. If you've already played on the WiiU, however, and since you can't port your game save over, it's not really worth re-purchasing unless you really loved the game and wouldn't mind playing it all over again (it's MASSIVE).

Yes, it's a game that's been out for a while on mostly every platform, but this will not disappoint. It's fun, fast-paced, filled with daily/weekly challenges and bonuses to keep you busy, includes DLC and expansions packs from other platforms... One of the best games for the Switch, no doubt. At least until Mario is released :P

Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than everThe squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch™ system, and use any of the console’s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer* action. Even team up for new 4-player co-op fun in Salmon Run!Expect a fresh wave of fashion, not to mention new weapons and gear. Dual wield the new Splat Dualies or stick to mainstays like chargers and rollers, which have been remixed with new strategic possibilities. As always, Turf War is the favored sport among Inklings, but they also dig ranked battles, taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, and battling enemy Salmonids in one dangerous part-time job! No matter which way you play, splat at home or on-the-go with Nintendo Switch. Staying fresh never felt so good.*Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode.

This is still Splatoon, but with even more fun added. You have the same core elements from the original game (tutorial and the city looks exactly the same) but a few added fun modes and definitely better gameplay. But this is still Splatoon at its core. Fun shooter with less violent graphics, but just as fun.

This is a very fun game but only if you like strategies and taking your time to think your next move. If you're expecting the faster-paced, casual platforming of 'normal' Mario games, pass on this one. It does have some platforming elements, but the core is the turn-based combat. And the Rabbids do make it fun.

Good audio quality, nice system, fast and responsive with a very clear picture and great viewing angles. Supports 5GHz WiFi. Just beware if you have other Samsung TVs at home as the remotes between them may interfere with each other (many times I've tried to turn my bedroom TV on only to hear the Kitchen TV across the hall turn on as well).

As long as you don't want a dedicated remote and are fine with starting transmission from your device, this is the streamer to get. Sure, the Roku Streaming stick has dedicated channels and remote, but it's also more expensive than this.

It's Roku on a stick. It's fast, it's easy to use and add channels to, and it streams everything quickly. And while the remote is handy, buttons aren't too intuitive and it includes four pre-configured channel buttons, but two aren't necessarily popular services so those will just be a waste of space. You're much better off with using the remote on your phone, but that kinda defeats the purpose of the Roku's physical remote...I mean, if you're gonna use your phone as a remote you might as well get the cheaper (and sometimes more capable) Chromecast.

It's a no-brainer. Three Uncharted games, re-mastered, for the price of one (even less if you find it on sale). All three games are awesome and will keep you playing for hours and hours.

This is a Nintendo unit. It's more family oriented, but still has some great 'hardcore' titles in its list. There are a few annoyances, though, like not being able to turn off the WiiU screen controller completely (it must always be on, and you can only turn the battery-draining screen off for certain titles, even if you're playing with a gamepad or Wii controller).

Can the ram be upgraded to 16gb? Any info on whether ram could be upgraded and what the maximum limits are would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

RAM is not user-replaceable, so nope, no upgrades on that, I'm afraid.

Can you fold the keyboard underneath while it still remaining attached to the screen/tablet?

Yes, you can... however, that's not something I'd recommend since the keys would end up underneath and touching whatever surface you set it on.

I'm connecting this directly to tower speakers. I need the cable to connect Chromecast to speakers. Is the cable is need a "3.5mm Male to 2-Male RCA"? Thanks!!

This Chromecast will not connect directly to speakers unless your audio system supports HDMI input. What you need for that (and that would use the 3.5mm jack) is the Chromecast Audio
