Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great product! It is portable and can be docked and plugged into the television. It looks like there are more games coming out for it too. I wasn't sure that would happen and why I waited to buy this. Highly recommend this gaming console.

Loved it! Nintendo Switch is the best, great to spend time with friends

This gaming system is the best for anyone who enjoys gaming! It’s for all ages really and the greatest I’ve had

Finally got this for our son. When absolutely loves it. He can connect it to his TV or take it on the go. Now long car rides are more enjoyable for him. Lots of games to choose from and we just download them right onto his switch.

8-bit NES was my first console - purchased w/ paper route money when I was 14. Over the years Nintendo has been hit or miss with me (and many others) when it's come to their "innovations", but so far the switch is a total hit. I *usually* get to game on the TV, but if someone else in the house wants to watch something, I can take it out of the cradle and play elsewhere. The built-in screen is large enough that even my middle-aged, computer-squinter eyes can make everything out fine. Usually, Nintendo's game selection on a new console is *terrible* for at least the first year, but I was pleased to find several games I looked forward to playing were available at or soon after launch. (Must. Resist. Buying. Skyrim. *AGAIN*.) The only negative thing I could really say is with regard the construction of the console itself - the kickstand feels like it could snap off pretty easily (which is extra scary, since it doubles as the memory expansion slot cover!), but aside from that I've got zero complaints.

Got this as a gift for my dad for his birthday and he absolutely loves it! We also got the special micro SD card for it to be able to download more games and it's so convenient! Best Buy made it so easy to order it online and pick it up. It's quick to set up and begin playing, almost everyone in my family has gotten a switch at this point and it's a great deal for something so easy and fun!

This was a great find. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get this before Christmas as it was sold out everywhere else. I had no issues getting this item. My only issue was that the employee lifted it out of the non descript packaging when bringing it to my car and it was a gift for my son, who was in the car! Ugh! But I was able to come up with an excuse so that he did not know it was for him. The device was in perfect condition and I love the portability and ease of set up. I don't mind having to repurchase games for different consoles, I just wish the gaming community had a way to save progress on an account for a particular game and use that progress across consoles. I hate that you have to start over when using familiar games on a different gaming system. One can only dream!

I can’t say enough about how much fun the Nintendo Switch is, my kids and I love playing different games at home, and on the go. My son was able to take Let’s Go Evee with him while we went grocery shopping, took long trips on the road, or anytime he wanted to play with his friends; completed the game in under a week. I was able to play Let’s Go Pikachu at home on the TV while he was at school, the switch makes playing game so easy, and fun. I can make dinner and bring the game with me, the removable controllers allows me to play while cooking, cleaning, and even while taking a bath. That’s so dope. Bubble baths have been so much fun since buying the console. Zelda, Pokémon, and Animal Crossing are great games, paired with the Switch makes me think what else Nintendo can come up with next.

The Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy-Con is a gaming console that offers versatility and fun. Its unique hybrid design allows you to play both on the go and at home on your TV. The neon blue and neon red Joy-Con controllers add a vibrant and playful touch. The Switch boasts an impressive library of games, from iconic Nintendo titles to indie gems. Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, the Nintendo Switch delivers an enjoyable and flexible gaming experience.

Service to pick up was fast and simple, product was ready within half-hour. Would definitely recommend

I didn’t expect to enjoy playing the switch so much. I love it.

Best gaming device to get if you travel a lot. I find it super convenient when staying at hotels for work

The Nintendo Switch has so many different gaming options all in one that we can switch between (probably why it's called a switch). We played games on our Android TV and got a bunch of fun attachments. All good so far!!!! 1 year Edit - Whelp we are now dealing with what the internet calls the "orange screen of death" after only a year of having it. It's not charging correctly and then today the only screen we could get was an orange screen....looked it up and apparently this is what happens when it detects a "catastrophic failure" hence "the orange screen of death". I have a replacement plan and will talk with Best buy and the geek squad but the fact that we're having to do this a year in is very frustrating. I guess better a year in than after the plan expires. Will update again with what happens.

Excellent, made my son happy, excellent Birthday gift

It took forever and a day to finally be able to purchase the Nintendo Switch since it kept swapping between being in stock and being out of stock, but it was well-worth it. It connects and disconnects to a TV with ease, the battery life of the Joy-Cons is admirable, and the sturdiness of the console itself is very nice. The ability to have multiple user profiles (up to 8) is very nice, making it possible for multiple people to share the console with ease. The Joy-Cons make it possible for two people to play most multiplayer games without having to purchase additional controllers. The dock makes it possible to connect and disconnect from the TV with ease, meaning no more bickering over who gets to play Zelda and who gets to watch Netflix. All in all, exactly the console I needed, even if purchasing it is a struggle.

In my opinion the Nintendo Switch is the best gaming system on the market. There are so many amazing games available for it and it is incredible that you can play the switch in three different formats, handheld, on the screen provided or on a tv.

Experience was great! I had to order in advance due to it not being available at my closest locations (I didn’t feel like driving to any other ones) so took a few days but was ready for pick up a day before they told me it would be ready which was great! Bought it for my goddaughter and she was so happy! Love the amount of girl games & accessories are available. Also such easy setup! Took about 5 mins to setup. As Best Buy communication/pick up was fast & easy as well!

I love this system, it is so easy to use and the battery life is great. I would recommend this system to anyone that asked about it. Most of the games are amazing on the screen and some need the tv, but overall it is perfect.

I haven't been a "gamer" for many years. Aside from an Xbox One S which I use primarily as a Hulu/Netflix machine (and occasionally play NBA 2K or Madden on when I have guests over), I haven't purchased a console in nearly a decade. I impulsively purchased the Switch after hearing much fanfare. I was initially skeptical of the power that a hybrid console could provide, and whether the Switch would flop like the Wii U. Fortunately, I was wrong. When docked, the Switch is an absolute powerhouse. Games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey are visually stunning in 1080p and 60fps and will make your inner-child smile. Although the quality of the games drops to 720p and 59fps when in portable mode, they still look and feel fantastic. Even graphically demanding titles like Fortnite render quite nicely. The novelty of being able to just pick up your console from its dock and take it on the go has yet to wear off. Another innovation is the Switch's Joy-Con controllers, which makes multiplayer gaming a literal snap. This is a welcome addition if you've ever undergone the expenditure of buying peripherals for Nintendo's competitors. The two drawbacks of this console are its battery life and a barebones operating system. Although the Switch is portable, this isn't your Gameboy Advance of yesteryear. Battery life is pretty bad, and games like Fortnite or Doom can drain your battery in as little as 90-120 minutes. If you are buying this console for a long commute or because you frequently travel for work, be prepared to invest in a specialized portable charger. As for the operating system, it doesn't have any apps like Netflix or Hulu. These drawbacks are arguably minor and will probably be solved in future software/hardware iterations. As a gaming console, the Switch is a breath of fresh air in a space where innovation has been lacking for some time. Nintendo managed to produce something which intersects fun and power unseen since the release of the Gamecube nearly 20 years ago. Nintendo is back.

A switch is simply an amazing machine. Of course, the graphical power is limited, but the portability is what matters here. Love how there are hundreds of gaming titles available and the ability to dock and play with friends!
