Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome product. Never a dull moment The kids love it The fact that it's portable makes it even better

We bought this console for our son who is 8. He loves how he can go from a handheld game to projected to the TV. Great product for the family.

Fantastic console! Is a handheld with options for physical and downloadable content. Highly recommend!

Family loves the system. It’s takes all the elements of our favorite Nintendo systems and puts it into one.

I bought the OLED version of the switch for my mother’s birthday this year. She always wanted to get a switch but never wants to spend money on herself so i decided to get her this and a few games, travel case, and a screen protector. She loves it.

I love how portable the console is and how you can play it at home on the TV. Perfect console for game night

I purchased this as a gift for my wife who loves to play Mario Cart. The screen is great, and it’s very easy to use.

The switch is a great way to spend hours at a time with family and get in the much needed excercise

A gamers dream of making a game console convenient. You can play at home or on the go without delay. Smart idea! Nintendos ahead of the game.

Always been a Nintendo fan, and this console has been the number one for me. Love the portability to be able to play on tv and anywhere else.

Best console ever. Nintendo makes great games and this small, portable console is great for gaming.

Defiantly recommend to all Nintendo fans and new comers. Fun games and a great for handheld system hybrid.

Awesome console would recommend this one over the bundle since this is the newer system with the better battery life.

The best console ever! I love how it is a hybrid console that you can connect to the tv or play it mobile

Easy access, kids had fun playing the games plus it’s handy when every you go out you take game with you

Great video console. My daughter hasn't stopped playing it since I purchased it. And it was very affordable.

I’ve been in love with Mario ever since the 64 came out when I was a kid. And they continue to excite and engage with the new system and games. I love that these are portable, and can be used at home on the big screen. Very handy for my two kids, and has been a lifesaver during this sequestered pandemic. I love playing it as well. Has survived drops and other abuse, though I will say the joy cons are not as durable as I would like. This is an awesome system that is useful in many ways and has a variety of different and exciting games for all ages and interests. Just wish the games weren’t so expensive and the cartridges so small and so easily lost. Also have found the kick-stand which sits the screen upright is not well designed, flimsy and easily broken. It also serves as the cover to the SD card slot, which is a bad idea as the stand comes off too easily, and when lost/ broken exposes the inner electronics unnecessarily. But the pros far outweighs the cons, and would recommend this system for any gaming fan, young or old.

A well-thought-out, well-planned, perfectly executed game system from one of the great names in the industry. Initial sales road the back of Zelda, but the quality of the game system itself is what keeps people coming back for more. I was lucky enough to grab one of these on the release weekend (at Best Buy) when it first came out and then I bought two more for family members for Christmas and we are all in love! There are millions of reviews on the game system, controllers, dock vs handheld, etc., so I won't go into detail about pros and cons there. Instead, I will concentrate on whether or not you're making a good investment. The system itself is solid, doesn't feel heavy in your hands, but you can tell it's made from quality material. I'm not saying you can drop it on the kitchen floor and expect it not to scratch and ding (or perhaps break), but it can take a little punishment. Also, Best Buy sells screen protectors for the not-so-careful gamer. The quickly growing catalog of games offered range from cheaper casual entries (ala Google Play or the Apple Store) to very good quality indie titles (try the $20 "Fe" if you want a pleasant surprise), to ports of older games from other systems, to flagship offerings (like Zelda and Mario Oddysey). They release a new batch of games in the online shop (accessible from the Switch) every Thursday. It's always a mix of ports, indies, something old, something new. There are always games for every age range and budget. Depending on the game, some will be download only, while other big-name titles can be download or purchased in "cartridge" version. My one complaint, the cartridges are small!! Buy an organizer travel case or watch your kids like a hawk or they will end up missing before you know it. To help avoid the dog picking them up and chewing on them (or your child), the carts are coated with a bitter-tasting coating. I haven't tried licking one of my games yet, but I understand it's bitter enough to deter swallowing and/or destruction. I'll take their word for it. Also on the topic of games, the articles that I've read indicate big game companies are surprised at how the switch has caught on and they are now dedicating teams to developing Switch games. There are big title release names coming up for 2018 and beyond, so don't expect the party to end anytime soon. As with all game systems, there are some duds in the lineup, but there are plenty of websites that provide reviews to help you make an informed buying decision. If you want to monitor purchases of games, you have two options. First, you can password protect the eShop, which would force them to come to you for new game purchases. Second, you can fill up your eShop account from a debit or checking account. Game purchases are made from the eShop balance available. Nintendo provided access to the same Mii functionality that's been available since the Wii. Allowing you to build an avatar, send and accept friend requests, play games online, play games in party mode (get four kids together with their Switches and watch them play Super Mario Kart, it's fun to watch). Long story short, the Switch surprised everyone (except Nintendo) and the momentum is still building. Do not hesitate to buy this for the gamer in your life. It seems like it's going to be around for quite a few years and will end up as one of those systems that changed the industry. The solid system provides PLENTY of options to keepyour gamer happy. If I could turn this review up to 11, I would. Oh, worth noting, I'm going to be 50 in August and I love (LOVE) my Switch. It will touch any and all age ranges the same way (my mom, who is in her 70's loves it, too).

We're having a blast playing together! Love that it can be taken anywhere or played as a console. Games are great!

I love the Switch. At first I thought it to be gimmicky but I really believe now that it is Nintendo’s best system.
