Love this gaming system. Portability is awesome, battery life is pretty amazing, a must get for christmas!

I have a PS4 and a higher end gaming PC. I end up playing the Switch and Animal Crossing because it's so easy to pick up and start playing. I can carry it with me to my computer desk and play while I wait for something in World of Warcraft to happen, but then I just end up playing Animal Crossing instead! The quality of nintendo exclusive games cannot be underestimated.

Super portable, fun to play and the graphics are solid. Any level of gamer will enjoy a number of titles.

I picked this up at the launch of Super Mario Odyssey and I have been thoroughly impressed with the capability of this thing. It hasn't replaced my other devices when it comes to multiplatform titles, but Nintendo's own titles perform great, and the ability to take the console wherever I go is a HUGE step up over the days of 3ds or even gameboy advance graphics. If you're someone that does a decent amount of traveling, this thing is a no-brainer.

Bought it for my sons birthday he absolutely love it

This is the third Switch I’ve bought. One from the release, the updated version, and the latest one was for a friend for her birthday. My boyfriend and I keep in touch with his family across the country through weekly game nights and helps us keep close. This is a fantastic console with an incredible selection of games. It’s an incredibly worthwhile entertainment investment.

I bought this primarily to play Animal Crossing so worth it!! Will be buying other games as well. So hard to find but thankfully Bestbuy had them in stock <3 Also, you can decorate the console with skins which you can find on Etsy - just saying because I was so upset that I could not find the lite in coral .... however, this is the better option as you can play it on your TV

Great classic games on the switch Very good gaming system and portable on the go

Easy to hold and use. Enjoy playing sole or with friend. Love it!

I purchased this for my teen daughter in 2022 and she still uses it to this day. Games are family friendly and engaging. It's one of the best purchases I've made at Best Buy.

This is a wonderful console, it does lack graphics power, but makes up for it with the number of fun games available. The console is mobile and easily can go from TV to mobile gaming for all games. Battery is very good, lasts about 3 to 4 hours playing a heavy game like Zelda.

Like everyone on this planet I searched day and night for a Switch during quarantine and finally got my hands on one when I was called back into work. It has still brought me plenty of joy and relaxation as there are hundreds of games to satisfy your needs. It fits comfortably in my hands or I can play from my tv. This is the only system I have ever owned and Im so happy I do

Nintendo continues to be a great choice for family entertainment. The Switch builds upon the concepts first presented with the WiiU and executes them beautifully this go around. Gaming power and portability makes the Switch a viable option in the next-gen console wars. Let’s hope the Switch gets to enjoy a long like like the prior consoles have (except the WiiU).

After searching for a Switch for quite some time Best Buy came to the rescue. The console is perfect. Nostalgic gaming in a modern way. Really enjoying the ability to play on TV with wireless controllers and pick up hand held right where I left off. Game selection is surprisingly good and I find myself lately gravitating toward the switch over XBox. Money well spent.

Excellent console, portable, the battery life is wonderful, thanks

When I was a kid I always played games on my GameBoy Color, Advanced, and SP. As I got older I fell out of playing video games. I am so happy I got this. It has brought me back - especially during these times. I forgot how much I liked playing video games. I like that I can play on the tv or in hand held mode. The device runs well and haven't had any issues. Definitely recommend.

I bought the Switch with the intent to play 3 games: Zelda, Mario, and Xenoblade. I'm currently working on Mario and so far it's been extremely fun and I can't wait for the library to expand. As for the system itself, the tablet portion is compact and easy to carry around and I was able to play my games on the go just as advertised. For those worried about battery life when it's not docked, be sure to purchase a USB C cable to charge the console

great. we don’t really use the black thing but it’s still good.

The Nintendo switch is a cool little console, however I wouldn't really classify it as a console. It's more of a handheld console that you can connect to your tv. Even being more of a handheld it has some pretty cool features. The Joycon controllers can be detached and allow you to play 2 players on your tv or you can prop the Switch up with it's kickstand and play on the little tablet. The Switch comes with a dock which isn't very sturdy and doesn't have the heft or a wide enough base to keep the console from tipping if it's bump into. The graphics are decent and the technology is honestly a little dated for a new console, 1080p when 4K technology is on the forefront? I'm not sure why they didn't decide to beef it up a little. They may have their reason not to incorporate 4K but this is one of the reasons I think if the Switch as a handheld instead of a console. The other is the 32gb of onboard storage. 128, 256 or 512 gb's would have been decent. My PlayStation 4 has 500 GB's and my Xbox one 2 TB's. Yea I know the switch is a fraction of the size but so are some laptops and tablets and it has the same price tag as and Xbox One S. I do like the fact that I don't have to wait for the games to download to the console before I can enjoy them. The cartridges are pretty small and probably easy to lose if you're not careful. The tiny Joy's are reminiscent of the Wiimote's just scaled down. They have no d-pad and trying to use the little thumbs stick can make navigating menus frustrating. Fortunately you can is them together to form a more traditional game controller and the negative joycons buttons are used as the d-pad. This makes scrolling through menus so much easier. I like the Switch since I can play it while my wife is watching television. Currently there aren't very many titles for the Switch but the most disappointing things are there isn't any LTE to play online when not at home or to stream a movie from Netflix. While speaking of Netflix I was greatly disappponted to see there weren't any steaming apps offered or any apps for that matter. While that is the case for now I did read someplace they have plans to add these things in the near future, I hope that will come sooner than later. I'm pretty competitive and While I'm glad Nintendo decided to add online Multiplayer I was disappointed to see they will be charging for the service and I haven't seen any mention of free games or other content that the other consoles offer. I'm guessing that the execs don't think that they are in competition with Sony and Microsoft. Overall I have enjoyed my Switch so far. Nintendo did leave a little to be desired but did a pretty nice job. So if you are looking for a great handheld with the fun games we've enjoy from Nintendo over the years pick this one up. If your looking for a next gen console with killer graphics wait for the next Xbox or PlayStation.

My 4 year old son loves it. Connecting it to our TV was simple and the year subscription is SO worth it for $49 bucks.
