Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was a latecomer to the Switch. I did the whole GameCube and Wii thing. Skipped the Wii-U and (until now) the Switch. Mainly because I assumed it would be Nintendo's usual *slightly less powerful* console offering that they had done for the previous 3 generations. While it's true that in many of the titles shared between the consoles, you probably aren't going to be able to match the graphics quality of the PS4 or XBOX One in a side by side comparison, games can be beautiful and fun without needing photo realistic models. Nintendo has always had a way of taking its exclusives and flagships and producing visually stunning artistic landscapes (Zelda is just awesome) and pairing them with original scores that perfectly convey the emotions and mood of the moment. Most of the titles available on the more powerful systems are also available for the Switch (The Witcher 3, Red Dead Online, CoD, Battlefield). There may be reduced graphics compared to the others, but only enough to allow smooth gameplay. In my opinion, unless you are playing the same title on multiple consoles, the differences are unnoticeable while immersed in playing. The fact you can dock/undock without stopping your game, its compact size paired with a large screen, along with all the other little conveniences it has far outweigh a few slightly lower res shadows or textures.

I had been monitoring Best Buy for a Nintendo Switch, and when one became available for order I quickly bought it. My pick up date was about 3 weeks, but ultimately it came in early so I waited about a 1 and 1/2. Picking it up at the store was quick and easy. A great experience overall! Plus all of the e-mailed videos from best Buy with info on set up and other features was great, too!

I love this gaming system and the functionality! It made a wonderful gift for my husband! I like that it can be used as a portable gaming system or docked to the but screen tv! I also like that the controllers can be takin off and used as 2 player.

Stop worrying about what has the best graphics, and just have fun. This is easily my favorite console since the original Xbox. You have the traditional Nintendo series's, AND they're starting to get some pretty big-name non-Nintendo games as well (Skyrim, LA Noire, etc). The Joy-Cons are a bit small for me, so I got the Pro controller and it's better than both the Xbox One controller and the DualShock 4. It's both a portable and a big-screen console. If your TV is taken, you just pick it up off the dock and keep playing. If you're traveling, you can play on the bus, train, plane, etc. and when you get to your hotel you can just set up your dock there or lay in bed and play. It supports up to 8 controllers for local multiplayer games, and each Joy-Con side can be used as an individual controller. I can't wait for a new Mario Party to come out. There's a good selection of true local multiplayer games, unlike with Xbox and PS4. It supports Bluetooth headphones, so if you have Airpods (or other wireless headphones) you can go truly wireless; no adapters needed.

This product's portability is literally amazing: you can take it anywhere and its battery life is surprisingly long.

Though it does't have the power of a PS4 or Xbox One, this is still a great gaming console. One thing you have to give Nintendo credit for is for their in house games. Breath Of The Wild is amazing, and the new Mario Odyssey keeps up the tradition of releasing excellent games. If you don't already know the seamless transition from console to handheld is brilliant. This is a definite for all Nintendo lovers. Biggest critique would be lack of triple A 3rd party titles.

Works great, fun to play. Keeps everyone happy. Just as expected from nintendo.

What a great gaming system. It’s a portable as well as a console. Great game selection.

Purchased for my college-age daughter, she and her friends play as stress relief between studying. They LOVE it. Helps them get up and move and get some exercise.

I love the switch because I can take it literally anywhere and there are so many games and many Nintendo exclusives!

What more to say. This is the best console for my 10 and 6 year old. We have about 12 games by now and extra controllers. We love it. Animal Crossing is their favorite and they play it everyday. Hardware is marvelous and updates are easy to install. Everything is pretty intuitive and kids figure it all out pretty quick. Just let the adults set up the docking station to the tv.

I love that I can take this everywhere and all the games make this even better!!!

Easy to install and play with. The price is good for the system but the games are expensive.

Best decision ever, the kids love it and we also play together. We have some family game night hours on this Nintendo.

This was an article of excellent quality, my son was fascinated and in love with him, it is something defunct for the whole family.

took a little bit longer than I wouldve liked for the pickup but I have no complains for the switch. I play mario kart on it with my fiancee all the time and we love it.

I bought my nephew this nintendo switch for his birthday and he cannot get enough of it.

I purchased this as a gift for someone that is very familiar with the Switch already. The quality and fun of this console is really high. I slightly prefer the regular Switch over the Switch Lite because it can be plugged into into television. This updated version has a better battery life per charge and everything else about it is just as great as the original console version.

The console came out in perfect condition, the charge lasted a long time, it can play a wide variety of games.

They have been sold out everywhere but somehow I was lucky enough to snag one of these from the Best Buy website. I had it delivered due to the pandemic changing most store policies. It came brand new and without a flaw! I’ve been playing it almost everyday since I got it. I was considering a switch lite but I’m glad I waited because having the ability to play it on the tv is worth the extra money.
