Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love that I can set it up on TV or as a handheld and easy enough for kids or adults to use!

I must confess I love games. I’ve been playing for nearly 3 decades now since the Super Nintendo when I was a kid. I wasn’t particularly tied to Nintendo and probably fall more in-line as a Playstation fanboy. The system’s I’ve owned are Sega Genesis, Playstation 1, Nintendo 64, Playstation 3, and since then only PC gaming for me. I had portables like the GBA and PSP, but in this era of smartphones I can play small games to keep me entertained so I had no real interest in the Nintendo DS or 3DS. With the Switch things have changed. I don’t consider it for a powerhouse of gaming, that’s what I have a PC for. I value it for its functionality and the difference it can make in gaming. While Sony and Microsoft are pitting more powerful consoles against one another, Nintendo has tried changing games. I totally get that they are trying to capture lightning in a bottle again like they did with the Wii, but the Switch doesn’t feel like a typical gimmick. Of course the motion controls are here and yes, the portability is the major gimmick of the device. But as and adult with a family and a living space that needs to be shared, it’s amazing to be able to plug in the console to the dock play on the big screen and then be able to go mobile with it as needed. I’m someone who loved playing Elder Scrolls Oblivion, Fallout 3, New Vegas, Skyrim, Fallout 4, GTA 4 & 5, Batman Arkham games, and other action/ adventure/ open world games. I logged over 100 hours in each game and well over 200 in Skyrim. When I got Fallout 4 I was thinking I would do the same. I found myself not able to play as much as I wanted because “Life”. With the Switch, I’m able to play Breath of the Wild where ever I want and after 2 weeks I’ve logged probably 30 hours alone. The Nintendo Switch represents a major potential for gaming. It’ll only be proven out by major support from game developers, and it first comes with Nintendo delivering their cast of characters and making it a sweet deal for said developers. This isn’t even considering the rumors of more functionality, such as augmented and virtual reality. Should you buy it now when there are a few decent games, plenty of ports, 1 amazing game, and the promise of good games to come? Maybe not if the available games don’t appeal to you. But don’t discount it, the potential is great and with further support this truly could change the gaming industry for the better, making games more accessible.

I highly recommend this game; my children thoroughly enjoy it, and we have encountered no issues.

This is a great system for the family to play family games!!!

Purchased the Playstation 5 for my grandson he loves it i feel it was great purchase

An overall 10/10 portable system. Hundreds of top tier games to choose from, play anywhere you want, and have completely different A+ experiences playing in portable mode versus TV mode.

Absolutely love my switch! I love the ability to be able to game at home on the tv but also take it on the go with me. The battery life is true to the description (about 5.5 hours of game time).

Bought this just for Zelda and it is a great console so far. Being able to take it on road trips or play on a TV anywhere has been fun. The controller is small and takes some getting used too but overall this was a great idea by Nintendo.

Love my Switch highly recommend this if you love Nintendo Games Breath of the Wild and MarionOddessy Are Great Games my kids like playing the multi player games and love the portabliity as we can play on the go together. Highly recommend

Fun console. Added battery is nice even though I won’t use it as a handheld much. Fun games. Interface is good. Downside is the cheap quality of the controllers included—the joy con. Work fine but feel cheap.

this was great. the first one we got had the volume buttons not work. the customer service at best buy was great and easily did an exchange and the new one is great!

Great quality and a fun consol to play with your family

Awesome device. Nintendo handheld after a very long time. Looking forward to switch 2

Gift from Santa. Son hasn’t stopped playing it. Very user friendly. Easy to set parental controls. Not a lot of data storage if you plan to download games on it. Very versatile for on the go or at home.

My son absolutely loves it! And received it so fast!!"

Nintendo really crushed it with this system. I held off on the switch for a long time but with all the stellar reviews I broke down and grabbed it after I heard about the minor refresh. I’ve not been disappointed! I can’t put it down! I’m a casual gamer at best it’s actually rare that I play video games but this is such a great console to just Gabe ant take with me to play when I have a few minutes at work or when I’m watching tv. Then being able to put it back into the dock and playing on the big tv with family and friends is awesome! Couldn’t recommend picking one up more!

Lucky to get one when they had it in stock. Nice system with a ton of games and fun to play when the time is right. Can't stand the joy cons but getting a real controller fixed that.

Just picked up today. Some vendors take advantage of this pandemic and overprice it. Love Bestbuy keeping the same price. The product works great. My wife and I are excited to play together.

This is my first console since the original Xbox and GameCube. I love how I can play it on tv or on the go. Graphics are great and it has great games. It isn't a PC, but for just simply playing great games I dont think it can be beat.
