Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Switch's portability and the fun, engaging games included in the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe bundle. Many appreciate the price point and find the system provides excellent entertainment for the whole family. However, some customers note that the battery life could be improved and that the controllers may be too small for some users. A few also point out that the bundle includes an older model of the console.

    The Switch is a good system but Mario Kart 8 (unless a Mario Kart fan) does not add value to the bundle so would suggest exploring other bundle options.

    What a great family Christmas gift. The set up was a piece of cake and the Mario Kart being installed was a nice bonus. One thing to keep in mind for other games is that should purchase a large SD card as the Switch has minimal memory. You will need the extra space to have full access to most games.

    My son and I both love the switch! It’s nice to play old school games with my children that I play with as a kid. I got the set that included the Mario Cart game and it was an awesome deal! Also the Grey controllers look nice while being charged next to my tv since the colors aren’t bright.

    Mario Kart offers such awesome experience that it's perfect for a married couple. My wife and I constantly play together when we can and truly have fun! The game itself is very colorful and runs smoothly no matter how you decide to play.

    Nintendo knocked it outta the park with the Switch! Kid was floored on Christmas morning. Its a neat package all around. Shes able to play it at her desk on her monitor or take it to the recliner for a few hours. Thanks Best Buy for prompt delivery over the holiday season.

    I didn't expect the system to need an update as soon as we took it out of the box but it does and it took a long time for it to complete which is why it has an average rating for ease of use! Don't forget to update the Joy-Con's as well! After that all was well.

    Purchased this for one of my kids. He loves it! Great value with the addition of the Mario Kart 8 game download. Got this one with the gray joy-con so as to prevent disagreements on who's controllers were who's as we have more than one console in the home.

    Christmas present for one of my sons. Played it for about 10 minutes but it down and have not played it since. Make sure this is what they really want before you make the purchase. Nintendo do have a great deal on family share plan.

    One thing that it is a must is the screen protector. I have heard from other people and looking at the docking for the Switch, you have a screen protector otherwise it will get scratched. They need to put some felt in there to help protect the screen.

    Excellent system that I can enjoy with my family. The only complaint I have is that the controllers can be a bit difficult to pair at times. Other than that, the games I do have are a blast to play with my daughter.

    I haven't tinkered with it too much other then installing it but once up and running they have really enjoyed it.. Setup process a little challenging or should I say more advanced then older systems but i guess thats to be expected for 2019.
