Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's a Switch, there isn't much to say; if you are reading this stop thinking about it and buy it. This is my second one (my wife has taken over the first one) and I am still just as impressed. The games are great and there is something for all ages; I'm in my late 20s and the next gem consoles don't interest me nearly as much as my Switch.

My son had to wait months for this Nintendo Switch. And just when we were going to give up and purchase another product, it came back in stock for a day! He is absolutely haply with his Nintendo switch. Setting it up was so easy. Although the battery life isnt the best, its fine considering we limit our kids electronic usage to 1 hour a day. It has a lot of great features we cant wait to try. I definitely recommend this product to others.

This is a great console for families. Easy to use and new extended battery life on recently released model is a plus.

Congrats to Nintendo for launching the Switch! I'm also glad I never bought into the Nintendo Wii U. They could have saved a lot of loyal followers if they had just made this instead of the Wii U. Then again, I guess without the U, maybe the switch wouldn't have been conceived. Game play is good, nowhere near a PS4 or XBox, but then again, Nintendo's mission to me, is more fun for everyone over video quality. Hands down, the Switch is fun. If you're still playing with the original Wii, switch over to the Switch. You won't regret it.

I remember when this console came out in 2017 (the original grey one) and the switch lite released in 2019. I love the age consoles, they're fun, upgraded from the Wii U console and the games for the device are interesting. There's online play but you'll need the Nintendo Online membership. The console is fun and love it as well.

After the mediocrity that has been the Wii and the only slight improvement that Nintendo brought with the Wii U, I had begun to lose my extreme interest in following whatever it was Nintendo was up to at the time. When the switch was leaked I was horrified at the prospect of a console that "bridged the gap between portable and console gaming". However after the release and the long wait to find a unit, I must say I am blown away. The hand-held + portability of the console was something I didn't think I would care much for and was glad that there is the option to simply dock the switch and play on my TV in a traditional format. However I find that I am bringing my switch on the go whenever I can and am immensely enjoying the portability and power that the switch holds. The joy cons are quite comfortable and were easy to adjust quickly to. The starting line-up of games has been on the smaller end but is packed with many great hits right off the bat. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, and more are all keeping me busy for hours. And with many new games coming up this fall and next year I can't wait to see what Nintendo has in store for us this generation. Definitely recommend jumping on the Switch train now!

I bought the Switch for my grandson for his birthday and it's perfect for his level. He can take it anywhere like in the car it keys him occupied. Plus Best Buy has always been above average with their customer service!

The Pros: Portable, Nintendo exclusives, 3rd party support will surely come The Cons: Least powerful console, plastic screen prone to scratches, joycon is not an ideal gamepad, you'll spend more money on necessary accessories More cons than pros, but I still recommend it. The portability alone makes it unique. Back in the days, gamers would get together and actually play games and socialize in person, but online multiplayer gaming has made that less possible. Nintendo Switch brings the people together to play games. It feels really good to be able to come visit my friend in person and play together on our own Switches; the same feeling I have when I brought my 3DS to his home. This is a big reason to own the Switch and it may appeal to the more outgoing gamers than the ones who play games in the dark while being alone at home in their rooms. Humans are social animals which need to socialize in person, so the Switch satisfies this need. With that really important point that it's portable, plus Nintendo exclusives and promises of 3rd party support to come, I'm sold on it, and you should be, too.

Great system to play by yourself or with friends and family! Has a nice amount of titles to choose from. Nice and portable to play on the go, but also nice to be able to dock and play on a big screen. Battery life is nice and also has lots of apps you can download onto it as well.

Love this!!! Great to have and play with friends or family!

We had a a very hard time finding a Nintendo Switch. I tried for a few weeks and finally saw it pop up online at Best Buy and was thrilled with the communication and easy pick up at the store. My daughter is 12 and really wanted to play animal crossing with friends. She loves it. We love the flexibility of connecting it to the TV and all of us playing games too. It's a great system and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it.

The Nintendo Switch I think is one their best models. In terms of larger consoles- I wasn't terribly impressed with a system since the Gamecube. Wii was fine. But the motion control here is beyond compare. + the fact that the controls are smaller are easier on the hands. Far less clunky than those remotes. + the fact that it's portable and the screen retains such excellent game quality- a total game changer! Great title selection- very happy overall.

I really enjoy playing this both on the go and at home on the TV, the quality is great, the games are getting better and it looks great.

Great tech Tetris 99 endless fun Good game selection Get one if you can Nintendo doesn’t disappoint

The Nintendo Switch is a blast to enjoy whether you're playing by yourself or with others. There is now a huge collection of games available that's honestly difficult to keep up with. I'm an international traveler and it's been so nice being able to take my games with me overseas and on the plane. I'd absolutely recommend the system to anyone that enjoys Nintendo games, travels a lot, or just wants to complement their other gaming consoles.

I love the switch it’s great for on the go gaming but also gaming with big groups of people. it’s a very versatile system! I do wish Nintendo would come out with games a little faster and better options because can be a little limited at times but this is a definite recommend for Nintendo fans

This was the best investment! It's brought me back to my childhood and the quality is amazing. I love that the console allows up to 8 players on certain games, it just makes it that much more fun. You do have to buy an SD card for it for extra memory, as the console only comes with 32 gbs, but any micro sd card will do the job!

The Nintendo Switch is officially the best console I have owned since the PS2 days. Game selection is excellent and growing more by the week. I have three children and I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to playing video games. Portable mode remedies this by allowing me to play in quick spurts when I have time here and there. The ability to plug into a TV when I want to play a longer session is very convenient and just adds to the versatility of this system. Graphically, this system won't come close to Sony, Microsoft or a dedicated gaming PC, but that is not why you would purchase this system in the first place. I feel that games like Doom and Wolfenstein showcase that you don't need top notch specs to make an enjoyable gaming experience. If you need the best of the best as far as graphics are concerned, look elsewhere, this is not that system. However if you want the convenience of playing your games on the go, including AAA titles, this is the system to get. The Nintendo Switch is everything the PS Vita should have been and I look forward to seeing what titles make their way over next.

Yes, this is a console that works in both the TV and while traveling. Games are full HD and look like a home console game when using a TV or in the touchscreen. Games like Zelda Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey are the must haves. Second to that Splatoon 2 and Mario Kart Deluxe are fun multiplayer choice in my opinion. There are other games that are less advertised such as Skyrim, Street Fighter, Resident Evil and a large List of what looks like Indie Games on the eShop. I gave it a 4 stars because of a number of things. Buying more controllers are more expensive now than previous generations, storage is still 32GB (though with microSD you can store up to 2TB), cloud features for saving progress are lacking and virtual console for legacy games is lacking as well. But all of these didn’t stop me from buying the system, so Nintendo must be doing something right ;) Overall, the whole idea of what this console wants to accomplish is the one thing I like above the other Home consoles. It is portable like a gameboy and useful as a home console, no matter the user preference.

I grew up playing Nintendo consoles and games but moved away from them for others like the Xbox and PlayStation. Mostly because that's were all the good games were at. But ever since they announced this device Nintendo had peaked my interest. Suffice to say that, although this console isn't as powerful as the Xbox one or ps4, it's amazing. The fact that you can play console games on the go with good resolution, and pop it into the TV at anytime, makes this console worth buying. Not to mention they have excellent games.
