Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch offers a great variety of games for such a new console, including some instant classics from Nintendo (Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2) and other developers (Rabbids Kingdom, Sonic Mania), and I look forward to playing Bethesda titles like Skyrim, Doom, and the new Wolfenstein 2 soon enough. While the console offers a pure gaming system (as Nintendo handhelds have always done), there is word that other multimedia capabilities are on their way (the likes of Netflix etc). The unit itself is a beautiful achievement in design. It's unusually lightweight for something that packs so much punch (great for extended play sessions), and the controllers (although small) are sturdy and offer a wide array of inputs to help control 3D and innovative games. One gripe I had is that you can't plug the unit into the stand to charge and play games off the screen, it has the screen blocked and must be connected to an HDMI display- you can charge and play, but you need to have the unit in handheld mode. Another gripe is that the only way to charge the controllers is by having them connected to the console. Each of these issues are easily fixed by purchasing accessories to help, and do not really affect the enjoyment of the Switch at all. 32GB of space already in the machine made it easy for me to purchase a game straight out of the box, ready to play. Expandable with micro SD cards means that adding more games is relatively cost-effective (much cheaper than Vita's proprietary memory cards, or having to buy new hard drives for other home consoles). Overall, the Switch is an excellent gaming machine for all kinds of gamers across a wide range of ages, and with Nintendo's best ever support for indie titles, there is a bright future ahead for the console and its owners.

After searching everywhere, I could not find this game system. Best Buy came through. Best Buy is my go to place when I can not find anything anywhere else. Kudos to Best Buy. Even if they do don't have it out in the display, you can always ask an associate to look in the cabinets. The Nintendo Switch is a game system that the kids enjoy. It is easy to put together.

easy to use for all ages. Batteries hold all day before recharge is necessary.

My Nintendo Switch is fun to play. I'm looking forward to more Animal Crossing, Jack in the Box games, and Stardew Valley.

We love the Nintendo Switch because of its versatility. It is super easy to set up and user friendly. We have made a lot of great memories playing Mario Kart with family.

We bought this Nintendo switch because my son had to have it. He was telling me that it can be used as a portable gaming system and also you can plug it in for multiplayer use. It is awesome! We can play it with quite a bit of players and if we are on a trip my son has something else other than his IPad to play on. This is my favorite gaming console I have ever bought for him.

No issues, worked great for my 6 year old son. He loved it.

I waited a long time before purchasing one and I wish I had done it sooner. There are so many games I can play from the comfort of anywhere. I love how you can play it on the TV or handheld. You get the best of both worlds.

Great product. Fun for traveling and fun for the family to play together.

Bought for son, then bought Zelda for myself and that sold it for me...the ability to take the game everywhere on the tablet or play on the big screen is genius. Wanna play two player ? Just push a button on the back of the controller to unlock it from the game pad and each player gets a half ! Only complaint and it’s super minor is the 2 hour battery life if you’re playing on the tablet so long car rides will require a separate charger for the car but that’s it

I've always loved Nintendo products, but they've really outdone themselves with the Switch. The hybrid nature of the console makes it conducive to both long sessions on the couch, but also short bursts of play on the go. While admittedly the line up of games at launch was pretty sparse, the Switch library is quickly expanding, including many games that are strong contenders for GOTY. I would definitely recommend the Switch to just about anyone who loves gaming.

So easy to use. Lots of game options though it would be nice to play titles on the old school system that aren't necessarily Nintendo brand game. Decent price overall.

Awesome! Remote is a little hard to get used to at first. But after a few minutes it gets easier.

Perfect for home use and compact for on the go too. A lot of games choices.

Bought this from my daughter. Feedback from her as well as me playing with it. Great handheld but controllers too small for in tv gaming, unless you buy another controller and the holder for it. Needs more tv app as it only supports hulu. Updates hopefully will correct that.

Great and easy console to play and share time with family or alone. I really like the size, but the controllers are too little to play by itself. If you buy this product to play with a second person you will definitely need an additional set of joy-con with the joy-con grip.

We were lucky enough to buy this console during the pandemic, especially with all the price gougers buying these things up and selling them for $50-100 over retail prices, just keeping checking Best Buy and you might get lucky like us. My kids absolutely love it and the wife and I bought Zelda for ourselves (LoL!). Nintendo has another homerun on their hands with this thing!!!

Easy to use. Great game play on a television or on the go. Fun to play against friends that are out of town. Jack Box games work great on this system as well.

The Nintendo Switch is a great way to play games on the go, away from home, or even play with others at home.

I love my switch, so many great games and it’s a great travel system.
