Customer Ratings & Reviews

So far it’s pretty awesome because I can take it anywhere and play on the go with pretty awesome graphics. The quality doesn’t even compare to the gameboys cheap rendition. And it’s so easy to just plug into the tv! Not even plug in; you simply just have to set it down in to the slot! I hope they come out with more classic games because so far my friends and I have been addicted to Mario kart 8! It has some updated versions of the 64 maps. Oh the nostalgia!

Giving this surprise gift to my son and watching his face light up reminded me of my own childhood happiness. Many thanks to the Best Buy team for suggesting such a wonderful gift.

Waited years to get one as I usually play ps4/5. Very fun and a lot different than the straight console feel. Could use more onboard storage as you need a micro sd card off the bat to download more games. Just started botw and having a great time!

I like that this Gaming system is very portable. So you can take it on the go with you or anywhere in the house to play. But I also like that it can hook up to the TV and you can play it through the TV. They also use it to play my Nintendo fit game to help the family stay active. Also a lower-cost gaming alternative than some of the systems out there and much more functional for road trips.

Not only that we got a great price but the fact that they have a same day delivery makes it perfect!

Like what so many others have reiterated, the Switch is such an innovative system when it comes primarily to their first party titles and ports. The system feels like it's a culmination and infusion of their part consoles, from motion sensors, optional handheld mode, the list goes on and on. It's the thought and development into the Switch's games that I truly can appreciate these many years later throughout my time playing video games. Interface is easy to navigate, with ease and accessibility. Only downside that I noticed is the joy cons will disconnect what seems to be randomly. Not sure if there's any update or remedies to this. The gamepad option doesn't display this issue at all so that's another alternative if you prefer. Can't wait to see what's in store for this system!

I love my switch, thankfully Best Buy managed to get one in stock so I didn't have to give into the scalpers. Switch is not only portable but it is the only place to play games like BOTW, FE Three Houses, and Smash Ultimate. Those were my first three games and those games were enough to justify the purchase of the Switch. Get the Switch if you love those games.

Bought for a Christmas gift for my son and he loves it. We knew we were going to buy one and picked Best Buy, for couple extra dollars we also got the geek squad protection which is why we definitely decided Best Buy had the best bundle deal. Switch is a super fun little gadget for at home and on the go in the car. Glad we bought it for him keeps him busy!

Bought this for a friend of mine after I bought my own. Since it's the upgraded system, it has a better battery life, allowing you to play games upwards to potentially about 9 hours. It also comes with all you need to play the console on TV, as a handheld, or on tabletop mode. Do recommend a microSD card for downloading digital games since it has only 32 GB of storage.

Fantastic! I love this product, I only wish I had gotten the Switch 2

If you were like me and tried to have some self-control regarding purchasing the Nintendo Switch, your patience has been rewarded. The change isn't just with the package design; this is a v.2 of the Switch. Though the upgrades are minimal, this new version has a longer battery life and brighter screen than its predecessor (which is upgrade enough for me). If I didn't wait, knowing me, I would have been bummed when this version came out. The console itself is great for any Nintendo fan. I love that the console uses USB-C to charge, meaning I'm not locked into some Nintendo proprietary cable - I'm pretty much good with any old USB-C cable and charger. Other than that, the Switch has been out long enough that most people will have already handled one at least once before (or at least watched someone use one on YouTube or Twitch), so I don't know that I need to go too deep into a technical review here. My only gripe is that it's not backwards compatible, not even with the Virtual Console games I installed on my Wii and Wii U. The only way to play "classic" games is to purchase a subscription (ugh).

I bought this to replace my switch lite and am very satisfied. It is a nice upgrade, especially being able to play on the TV instead of a handheld console all the time.

The Switch is the best gaming console because of the portability and how multiplayer friendly it is. The Joy-Cons works great as 2 different controllers and if you decide to purchase one I highly suggest downloading games instead of buying card because me personally would hate to lose one the $60 game cards so I suggest downloading, I personally download from Amazon because of the convience of the payment method. I highly suggest to purchase one!!!

As you would expect. Great system. Fun games. Love how its sharable.

I have been a fan of Nintendo since the beginning, I have owned almost every one of their systems with the exceptions of the Virtual boy and the Wii U. While I had lost faith in them with the Wii and had hoped they would just turn to make third party games for Xbox and or Sony. They proved me wrong and made this great system. While not the graphical powerhouse of the other two, Nintendo has never put graphics above fun. Zelda Breath of the Wild looks fantastic on the switch, either in console dock at home, or in handheld mode on the go, and it was a joy to play. I must of played it for over 100 hours. This is the only system in my life that I own more than one. My kids who were not gamers, suddenly wanted to play this all the time. The only issue I have with this system would be the joy-cons, they have an issue that will inevitably pop up called the drift. The joy sticks become loose and will move your character with you wanting them to. At $80 for a new pair, it’s a tad pricey to replace them. That is why I would never buy the Switch Lite, those joy-cons are not removable, once they have the drift issue, they would have to be repaired. Pay the extra $100 and get the main Switch model. And splurge on the Pro Controller, I waited to get it for a long time and I wish I hadn’t. That this is great, but again Pricey.

Great battery, honestly I bought it to leave it connected to the TV, but being able to just play anywhere I want is quite awesome. I just wish I had more free time to enjoy it more often. The only problem with the software design is not being able to turn it off without the need of pressing the power button for 3 seconds... But that's nintendo's fault, not best buy

I much prefer hand held consoles so the switch has been a hit for me. We originally bought it for my fiancé and I too share, however I get so addicted to the games I play, I think we need to buy him his own. I will say one of the controllers got joy on drift a few months ago and we had to buy replacements. Supposedly Nintendo would have replaced it however I didn’t want to wait, so I’m unsure. The new controllers work fine. We’ve only had it for a little over a year but it seems to be in great condition other than the joycon issue. I also really like that the Nintendo store has a huge variety of games, which also include many indie games. However some of those games don’t seem to get updated anymore. Sad.

Very good, my son is obsessed with it and it is very convient

Bought this as an entry level system for my grandson. He loves the ability to play on both the tv and on the console itself. Great gaming system!

What’s there to say that hasn’t already been said. It’s a great console. Got it for my husband when he went to AIT for the military… definitely kept him sane! Travels well and is overall great
