Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been wanting a switch for a while, and I finally got around to buying one. It's a great console with the option to either play handheld or on the TV. The versatility of the switch (as its name suggests) is definitely one of its strong points. My only complaints is the battery life is not always the best on handheld and the charging port is on the bottom (which makes it difficult when you're trying to use the kickstand in handheld mode). But, these in no way impact how much I enjoy the console. I'm really glad I bought it, and I recommend it to anyone (whether you play individually or with friends/families) as it is a great, enjoyable device that has really kept me entertained while in lockdown due to COVID-19.

My kid loves this switch. It has access to the 80's old school games as well as all the latest. He can take it with him around the house too. Its a win win.

I had my doubts about Nintendo Switch at first, but after buying it and playing it for a few weeks, I have to say it's an amazing console with really good graphics and games. The games are out of this world fun (Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart) with simple controls and great game play. The versatility of the console and controllers is unlike any gaming system and that's really the best part about it. When someone else wants to watch TV, just simply disconnect the Switch and play it in portable mode. Certain games have motion sensing features for the Joy-Con controllers, similar to the Wii. The screen on portable mode also looks great, and I can't really tell is 720p. Battery life is reasonable too and lasts 3-6 hours depending on the intensity of the game. I haven't really had any major problems with the Switch, and I am very happy I bought one.

I haven't owned a portable gaming system since the Nintendo Gameboy Advance and I have to say the Nintendo Switch definitely delivers that old nostalgia of my childhood. I wanted to get a Switch when it first came out, but I decided to wait until Nintendo released the second version with improved battery life. I like that they have many of the new popular games available to play like NBA 2k, but they also have the classic games for free like Super Mario Bros. My only complaint is that the console itself doesn't have much storage, and you have no choice but to purchase a micro SD card for extra storage which can be expensive. In the future, Nintendo should include a micro SD card with the system.

The best device for kids, it is so easy for manipulation and confortable for long trips. I recommend for personal things of our kids and the older people too can used for a while relax time

When I first heard about Nintendo's new console code-named the "Nintendo NX", I was skeptical regarding what Nintendo was going to introduce next after the lackluster sales and game output of the Nintendo Wii U. As time went on, Nintendo introduced various trailers and Nintendo Directs which explained about their new console the Nintendo Switch. After watching several hours of various video content regarding the Switch, I was still a bit skeptical. How powerful will their console be? How will the joy-con controllers feel in the hand? What is the battery life of the console while in handheld mode? These among other questions were raised. Fast forward to today. I am pleasantly surprised with this new Nintendo console. The joy-con controllers actually fit well in your hands. I have fairly large man-hands and I had no discomfort while using the joy-cons with the included wrist strap. The wrist strap adds more bulk to the joy-cons and also gives the shoulder buttons a more profound feeling. In this past month of using the Switch, I have found myself using the console in handheld mode 95% of the time. It feels just right in that mode. As for battery life, I can say that I get a solid 3 hours while playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It takes about 2 hours or so ti fully charge using the included USB-C wall adapter. I have been surprised with how great games look on the Switch. With me being primarily a PC gamer, the visuals of games like Zelda look very nice. Sure, it's no console capable of 4k resolution extreme photo-realistic visuals, but it definitely looks better than previous Nintendo consoles. I used the Switch once in desktop mode with my best friend. We set the tablet portion of the Switch on his car's dash and let the kickstand out to keep it propped up. We both played a good bit of Fast RMX on the Switch using the joy-cons. I have to say it was a flawless experience. It is VERY nice being able to have a large size screen on the Switch to be able to play multiplayer titles anywhere. I do believe this is what Nintendo is going for with the Nintendo Switch. Multiplayer gaming anytime, anywhere. Overall, I have to say I have greatly enjoyed my time using the Switch and I will definitely be buying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 when they release. Oh, and Super Mario Odyssey when it finally releases this holiday season. I highly recommend this game console if you want a home console experience available to you anywhere.

Nintendo Switch is awesome and so much fun. You can play on hand held or tv mode. It is portable and the graphics are amazing. 1080 p and flawless. If you have any problems with your Switch call Nintendo and they will take great care of you. Had an issue with our dock and they fixed it for us. Anyone can pick this up and play it. Too many good games for this console, and many good ports. Had to buy a second one because the spouse is hogg. Nintendo has put out an update that now allows you to transfer your save data and profile to the new switch with out loosing anything. You will have to re-download eshop games however as they are only one unit. Recommend getting the 128 GB Micro Sd Card, pro controller and a tempered glass screen protector because the screen is plastic on the switch and could scratch. You will be very happy.

Overall great entertainment device. It has the capabilities of playing new and old games even original Nintendo games. Convenient to take what you want to go and the display is bright and clear.

Bought it for my husband’s birthday and he absolutely loved it! It’s his first Nintendo console (aside from the Wii). Also bought it on sale. He can’t put it down! Now we’re just waiting for a new animal crossing game to come out so we can purchase the Switch 2

This is our first video game system in a long time, wife loves it for dance 2023 and bowling so far! I did not go for the OLED model as we would just be using this primarily for TV use and it is great! The games we can play together and download on demand make it a real winner in our house! The built in storage and controllers could be increased / improved ergonomically, I have large hands and the controller seems a bit small but otherwise great system.

We purchased this as a christmas gift for our son. It was easy to set up, and get running. The monthly subscription we pur hased with it give access to variety of free games each month. The battery hold a charge for a long time, holds up to long car rides. My son put the controls in backward and we thought they were stuck and ruined, but the people at nintendo anticipated this mistake and put in a "fail safe", so nothing was ruined. It was pricey, in my non-gamer opinion, but the longer we have it the more worth it it seems. If you have a kid that will tote it around with them, i highly recommend adding cases and screen protectors.

I bought the Switch because I was looking forward to playing the classic games that I grew up with along with some that my kids enjoyed in the early Nintendo days. However, there are so many GREAT new games that cover virtually every type of gameplay one could want. I personally like games where there is a thinking element involved (puzzles/riddles to solve) instead of just jumping in and shooting everything in sight. I also like that many of the games can be played solo, with others in your house, or online with friends. The portability of this console makes it great for road trips, and I have been very pleased with the battery life.

Excellent system! love that its a portable console that can be played anywhere.

Great quality fun to play games with friends and family never a dull moment with my switch around

My new Nintendo Switch is fun for All. I’m an old Nintendo player and I needed something I can enjoy by myself and with others and the Switch made the mark. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it’s good fun for everyone.

The Nintendo Switch is the best comsole to ever exist. It has all of the best games and also has my most favorite game of all time Super Mario 3D World.

I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch for in-store pickup, and the experience was fantastic! The ordering process was smooth, and I received a notification as soon as my item was ready. When I arrived at the store, the pickup was quick and hassle-free. The staff was friendy. The Switch works perfectly, and I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend Best Buy for their great service !

Very pleased with this game system and happy to find it on sale. You can find games that appeal to all ages and games for the whole family to play together.

I’ve been on the fence about getting a new game console considering I rarely play, but I found the Nintendo Switch to be perfect for a casual gamer. The dynamic setup of the console allows you to play it handheld or linked to a TV. I find myself playing handheld a lot - great for short spurts. It’s a great distraction in the age of quarantine. In terms of game selection - I would definitely research what types of games you want to play and if they are already offered, or going to be offered. See if there is a demo and play it to the fullest extent - you’ll find you only spend money on games you really want. I’ve only bought one game so far!

My wife bought me a Nintendo Switch for our anniversary and I have been loving playing it. I have the grey joy-con version, and I like the discrete look of it near the TV. I love being able to slide the joy-cons on and take it on the go. When traveling, I find it very comfortable to play it in handheld mode. Compared to other game consoles, the Switch is very easy to connect to the TV and have ready to play. The only accessory I bought right away was a screen cover (which I think is essential to avoid scratching the screen). It has now been 3 years since purchasing, and I am still completely happy with it. Until recently, I typically purchased physical games, but after buying more digital games, I ended up buying a MicroSDXC card to expand the storage. The Switch can keep 1 SD card in at all times, and it is easy to transfer save files, digital games, and DLC back and forth. If you decide not to use an SD card, you can simply archive the game and it will not delete save data. Of course, Nintendo has released new models that contain more storage. I also decided to buy a Pro Controller. For 3 years I only used the joy-cons or put them in the comfort grip which becomes a controller. I am looking forward to having a Pro Controller, since I now have more games that don't use any motion controls. Overall, I really love my Nintendo Switch, it is my main gaming platform.
