Customer Ratings & Reviews

Excellent choice, bought for great grands. They love them.

This system is amazing. The hybrid function of portable and TV mode make it truly a unique gaming experience. Nintendo is finally getting support from Triple A developers so you will have options to big name titles as well. You may be sightly disappointed in the user interface’s simplicity but future software updates will upgrade those features. One thing to note: if you are going to play the big games like Skyrim, Doom, 2k, etc... you will need a Micro SD card to store the game’s software. The default 32gb that comes in the switch isn’t enough. The good news is that SD cards are reasonably priced.

Bought this for my daughter and she is in love with this platform. Best buy had it in stock and ready to pick up.

This is my second Nintendo Switch (I gifted my older one to my girlfriend), and this version is much improved over the previous one, at least in battery life. The switch has been a great way to play multiplayer games like smash ultimate online with friends, overcooked 1 and 2 with the gf, and Tetris. In addition, there are great first party games from Nintendo. Portability is also a great feature in that you can use it on your commute on the train or plane once travel resumes.

I’ve bought several of these for my friends and their kids to play. It’s well worth it to see happy kids and parents all having fun. The system is just the right size for road trips or playing tournaments in the neighborhood.

Bought as a present to replace an old NDS XL. Battery life so far is pretty good (read that previous model had shorter life) and is fairly easy to use. Absolutely need to buy an SD card because you don’t get a lot of internal memory which is a problem with games like NBA 2k20 which requires you to do a large download to get full access to all of the game features but can’t be done without having more space than provided. Easy to connect to tv for full screen experience and easy to pick up and continue your play on the go.

My younger brother loved it, he always plays with it

Amazing gaming system. Its so much fun. Take anywhere options. Download games using internet access or if you dont have internet, there are a lot of game cartridges to buy.

I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch and I am thoroughly impressed with the device. The Switch is a versatile gaming console that can be used both as a home console and as a portable device. The console feels sturdy and well-built, with a vibrant and responsive touchscreen that makes it easy to navigate menus and play games. The Switch's library of games is impressive, with a wide variety of titles ranging from popular franchises like Mario (Mario Kart 8 is fun for the whole family) and Zelda to indie games and classic titles from older consoles. The console's portability is a huge plus, as I can take it with me on the go and play games during my daily commute or while waiting for appointments. The Joy-Con controllers are also comfortable to use, with motion controls and haptic feedback that add an extra layer of immersion to certain games. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase of the Nintendo Switch and would recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and enjoyable gaming console.

I always wanted a Nintendo Switch and with being on safer at home orders, I started my search. I found the Neon Red/Blue console available at BestBuy and immediately went through the checkout process to ship it ASAP. I love this gaming console because I can play either on my TV or in handheld mode, which I love. I enjoy the games like Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing. My family loves the system too. This console has brought back my love for gaming. I am addicted again. Thanks Nintendo!

Portable. Easy to bring along. Comfortable to use in any controller configuration. The small size of the cartridges make use as a portable console perfect. The Kickstand well not perfect does it's job just fine. The battery life of the console is excellent and you shouldn't have any issues with the battery though keeping an AC or car charger wouldn't be a bad idea. In regards to the hard drive space. It's a non issue. The Games do not need to be downloaded off the cartridge. Like PS4 or X-Box one titles due. It's back to the good ole days of literal plug and play. And if your worried about digital download games. There's a 2TB Switch compatible SD card coming out next year. I'd highly advise getting a Switch As soon as possible. There's lil doubt Stores will drain fast of them when any stock comes in and with good reason.

This console is amazing! I got it to keep me busy during this quarantine and it has not disappointed! I’ve only played two games on it so far, and I haven’t had any problems. The tablet holds a charge for a long time, which is great. My only complaint is that my joycon sticks have to “load” or reconnect themselves more often than I’d like in the middle of gameplay.. If I were playing time sensitive games, I could see this causing a lot of issues. Other than that, it’s worked great

A brilliant hybrid console that seamlessly transitions from your TV to on-the-go gaming. Its incredible library of exclusive games offers endless fun, making it a must-have for any player.

Great gaming console. A lot of fun when on tv with all the kids.

The switch is very much a "handheld" console, meaning that it isn't really a handheld you can put in your pocket along with some pocket-sized games, but a console you can put in your hands and take with you cord-free and peripheral-free. Some switch games can do multiplayer with just the included joy-con controllers, that's an insane value compared to the Wii. The Switch currently has 3~ defacto flagship games being Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, and Xenoblade. ARMS and Splatoon 2, don't necessarily have the single player meat in them to grip the casual masses. I don't even think the Switch Eshop has up to 100 games yet. That being said, my point isn't a negative one. As a gift you have barely an issue of choosing which game to buy seeing as any of the 3 is a guaranteed success. For the recipient, the same applies seeing as any of these games have 60-100+ hours of content. This meaning that in the time it takes to finish one, more games will have already come out. Not to mention DLC packs have already been released for several of the Nintendo exclusives making a long game like Breath of the Wild even longer. Have you seen the video of the Switch being dropped a 1000 feet? It survived. Nintendium at its finest. It will probably take nintendo a long time to develop video streaming service support and a built-in browser ala the PS4 launch. They also removed the easter egg/homage to their late president Satoru Iwata which required mimicking his Nintendo Direct welcome gesture to play NES Golf which was the first game he developed. NoA also has a bad habit of unnecessarily censoring games. So don't expect some of the craziest games to make it on Switch for that reason. Hardware-wise the Switch is like a...... Nvidia Shield Tablet and a PS3.5 if you can picture it. Nvidia even used the same hardware for it. The included dock spits the display on your tv and adds some framerate stability, but the meat of the console is the handheld portion. The cartridges are the more interesting part though, being Nintendo's proprietary medium, they hold 32gb of data with 64gb carts coming in 2019. That means pretty much all multiplatform games until then either are heavily compressed, downgraded, feature stripped, or have features withheld for digital add-on like DOOM on the switch, or just forgo development altogether. So don't toss your current console/PC at any rate. The console is innovative in its execution if nothing else and I love it for what is: a portable console.

I bought the switch with some reservation as to how much "use" I would get from it, and I've been pleasantly surprised. So far every game I've played has worked well, and I don't get hung up on the quality gap between the XBOX like I though I would. Its versatility is the real winner though. Wether I'm playing solo like a handheld system, on the TV sole/with other, or, with someone else using the screen in the airport / in the air it has been a great addition. Well done Nintendo.

it is a good console I would recommend it if you want to play Nintendo games. great selection of games such as Zelda and Mario. It is a good console for travel and on the TV- if you want to play with both, I recommend it!

It's been such a long time since I've owned a handheld gaming device like the Nintendo Switch and I'm loving everything about it. Being able to switch between your TV and going mobile is so awesome! There are some great games being released as well. Mario Kart and Zelda alone are enough of a reason to want to own a Switch. I won't get into the details as most of you who are interested in purchasing a Nintendo Switch can just YouTube some reviews on it. I just wanted to give my personal opinion on it and I think It's a great portable system with a lot to offer.

I was saving my reward points for a switch for a while, and when i finally had the funds for it (aka Free switch from reward points) thats when all went south around the world. One thing that happened was that people were buying the console immidiately just to flip it on Ebay for double the price. So for two-three months i was looking for the console at BestBuy and no luck. I installed the BestBuy app, and after a couple of weeks of looking for the console, i finally saw that Grey Sold Out turn Yellow Add to Cart. I hit my reward points and immediately added the console to my cart. I hit purchase and got it! Enough Story. Onto the System It handles Beautifully, great game library, pretty decent battery life for how powerful the system is. The joycons are actually pretty cool, although i like more meat on my controller so i bought a regualr 20$ controller to use with it. I will say that my main complain is that the Dock is super cheap! it works, however sometimes it disconnects from the TV, and it just kind of low quality, lots of edges (becareful with the switch screen around it). I highly recommend this, while i use PC for most of my games, this console has turned into my favorite followed by the PS2. But at the same time it is also a handheld so it has turned into my favorite handheld console followed by the 3DS XL.

Gone... they were all gone, GameStop, target, Walmart everywhere, but for some reason I decided to check Best Buy every once in a while. One day I saw that it was in stock, I thought it might have been a glitch in the system but sure enough when I got that confirmation email and the pick up email it was all real. I recommend to do check the website or app often, it does come back in stock every once in a while since I’ve checked in again before and saw it in go in stock (Most likely one or two in stock at a time cuz it immediately goes out of stock). So if you see it in stock TAKE ADVANTAGE IMMEDIATELY!! Now to the ACTUAL review it’s everything to be expected, amazing. I wanted the switch because I wanted a hand held gaming system like the psp (RIP old friend) while also being able to be active and play with friends like the regular wii, and this was the perfect fit. I did get the 256 Sandisk memory card cuz a friend says the storage goes quickly, plus there was a massive sale on it so it was worth it. Very fun and I’m glad I was able to snag one.
