Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had an original Nintendo from 1989 and I hadn't played it for like 20 years. When they brought it back into the light I was like I had one of those. I had been eyeballing consoles just to see what was out there and I do remember playing on the Wii when it came out cuz my niece had it, but still never bought it. PS2 and other consuls also never grabbed my attention; obviously a Nintendo baby at heart. Then I saw a commercial for this Switch and I was like I am doing it, I deserve it and I was super grabbed by the portability and just thinking about playing Mario again...lol I am so glad I waited for the switch. Gamers here I come!!

The Nintendo Switch has really been a great console for my needs. When it was originally announced I was worried that it would have the same problems as the Wii U. I was proven wrong, it has a great selection of games including third party and retro style games. The battery life on this new model is much improved and this is my go to device for travel. I have taken it to Japan and if you have a battery pack it will last for the flight. For parents, there is a large selection of child friendly games and of course there is Mario and Link. This is a great buy and you will be happy with your purchase.

Great quality, value, and easy to use. Multiplayer options and portability are also perks. Variety of great games available for purchase as well. Definitely recommend.

I am retired and I guess you would say our families have always been middle-to-lower income families and Generation after Generation of kids have always known that "just because Ricky has it" - never meant that you too should have it---so don't ask "why not??" I bought this Nintendo Switch 32 GB for my 10-year old Grandson for Christmas. Not only did it take financial planning to be able to purchase a $400. "toy" - but I also had to get past my "Old School" upbringing from my parents that spending even a third of this kind of money on kids for toys was beyond ridiculous and unimaginable!! Give them a jump-rope, a doll (that doesn't wet, cry, crawl or bat her eyes!), or a bat and ball, or even a scooter (and I do NOT mean an electric powered one!). But I have to admit- I was excited. Happiness is in the Giving and making Others happy. Maybe you can only do it once. I had a box and I hid the Switch under a false bottom; then placed a number of small items individually wrapped in the box on top of the false bottom. Then wrapped the box with lots of colorful Christmas paper- and lots of tape! His mother was in on it---and ready with a camera. Once he got the box opened, my Grandson expressed happiness and excitement as he opened each individually wrapped gift, saying 'thank you' after each. We have done our best to bring him up to appreciate 'giving and receiving'. At first he started to pick up the paper wrappings and stuff them back into the box, but suddenly hesitated (his Mom and I kept talking pretending to not pay attention). I guess he was remembering how I always play tricks with gifts and his mind was working over-time. He took the paper back out and kept turning the now "empty" box upside down and kind of rattling it. He looked up at us with a questionable look saying, "I think there's something in the bottom, it still feels kinda heavy". I'm like, "Really?" With all the sadness, heartache, frustrations and difficulties going on today in every wake of our lives-- I wish everyone could have seen his face and heard his shouts of "No Way, No Way, No Way!!" It would have taken everyone back to a day when they too rec'd something unbelievable, a hope not dared to be hoped....a child's heart bursting with pure happiness, joy and delight!! That $400. was really very, very little. (Of course now weeks later his Mother and I sometimes have our doubts-- when we have to pry the thing from his hands fearful that it's melted into his skin!! LOL!)

This is my second switch to about one for my grandson I liked it so much I had to get myself one had to switch one but this is better

Amazing console overall! Games- 5/5 System tech- 5/5 Easy to use- 5/5 Mobility- 5/5 Price 5/5 Family games 100/5 Honestly just buy it. End of story!

My kid loves it. The gameplay is fun and the graphics are great for being so small.

The Nintendo Switch is a great system and I feel another classic, as much a the original in the 80's. The fact that its both a portable system and also has a base to use on your home TV is perfect! I loved this fact, as it can go on the road, while having the huge screen at home. Kids can take it to their friends and also can have multiple players at once, so they can all enjoy together, depending on the game and an extra attachment. I'm really happy also to see the vast amount of games for different age levels and the crisp graphics and sharp screen. Worth the money spent, and you won't regret it!

It was everything expected, very good product. Very good

The Best Buy team assisted me in purchasing an item for my kids, even though it was listed as out of stock on their website. They found the product and helped me with the online purchase. They also informed me of the closest store where I could pick it up within an hour's distance. It was such an easy same-day process—great job, everyone!

I love this Game Nintendo Switch is a game-changer! The hybrid design is genius—play on your TV or on the go without missing a beat. The exclusive games are top-tier (Zelda, Mario, Animal Crossing), and the Joy-Cons make local multiplayer super fun. It’s perfect for gamers of all ages. Portable, powerful, and packed with fun—the Switch nails it!

I brought it for my granddaughter and she loves it she likes playing the games they're a little pricey but she likes it

I managed to snag this one by camping on the website all day and night and following online alerts to tell me when the Switches were being restocked. It was a major hassle, but I'm glad I went through it because the Switch is worth it. The console itself has such a small footprint compared to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X looking to be such massive bricks that look more at home at a computer desk than an entertainment center, it's relieving to still have a system that doesn't get in the way of anybody's preferred gaming setup. The systems UI itself is very nice and clean too, it's very easy to navigate and get to where you want to go to once you put in a few minutes to get the hang of it. Once again it contrasts with the other two major consoles that throw so much more information at you at once, it can feel a bit cluttered by comparison. The game library is outstanding too. I already own six games and still there are more I'm interested in buying too. Some of them are just releases and updates of Wii U games, so if you already had that you may not have as many games to play, but if you're like the majority and never bought that you'll benefit from all the games you missed the first time around. Plus, having all of Nintendo focused on the Switch instead of being divided between a handheld and console means there will be plenty of first party support to come. There are three downsides that I should mention. The first being that because it's Nintendo, you better be prepared to pay $60 for most of your games. The games on other consoles generally drop to $20 or $30 only a few months after they first launch, but Nintendo almost never lets their games drop in price. You'll have to keep an eye out for major sales if you want to save some money on these titles. The second downside is that the joy cons that come with the system just don't cut it for playing most games. They're designed to work with the Switch in handheld mode, but I feel they're inadequate for long gaming sessions. You'll need to buy a Switch Pro Controller if you plan on mostly playing the Switch docked. Finally, the on system memory is insufficient if you want to store a lot of games digitally. You'll have to buy a microSD card if you don't want to constantly delete and re-download games. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to people who like Nintendo games. Just be aware of the hidden costs that come with owning one.

I had reservations about purchasing a new Nintendo console, fearing it would be too similar to the Nintendo DS or that it would leave a lot to be desired like the Wii. The Nintendo switch was neither, and has provided the perfect combination of nostalgic Nintendo titles and new technology features. The switch makes it easy to transition from the big screen to a handheld device seamlessly. My only recommendation would be to opt for a bundle that packages an additional card for additional memory, or take advantage of physical copies of games to save space on the available storage.

This product proved to be everything we hoped it would be! We are very happy with our purchase! My husband is in the military and we are far from family! It helps make those long trips seem shorter!

We have had the Nintendo Switch for a few weeks, my spouse and I, and our teen kids play it, we have enjoyed playing separate games and games together, it's really nice looking and easy to handle, it has a lot of online options to choose from, and the subscriptions are fairly priced! Took us a bit to decide if we wanted one, but we are glad we made the purchase. Fun for the whole family, adults, teens and children. Great system that plays smoothly with nice graphics.

It does exactly what it's supposed to. I love the portability, but you could also just leave it hooked up to your TV all the time. A system is pointless without great games and they keep coming out with more. Zelda and Mario are great. I have all the game systems (Xbox/PS/PC). I'd prefer to play games like Skyrim on one of those systems, but the idea of exploring Skyrim on the go is tempting. I don't really like the controllers that came with the Switch. The Joy-Cons are small, but perfect for kids. If you're used to Xbox/PS controllers, you'll want to buy another controller. I purchased then Mario controller and it's just like I'm playing on my other system.

This system is above and beyond my expectations.My entire family loves it! Games are pretty steep on price but other than that. Great system!

While I really like the fact that is it portable and has the option to connect to a larger monitor for the best gaming experience, Nintendo needs to make the navigation process of obtaining games a lot easier.

The Nintendo Switch is the first truly portable console experience, allowing you to play games with graphics between PS3 and PS4 quality on the go. The tablet feels great when out of the dock, and the joycons, while taking getting used to, feel good even in large hands like mine. I definitely recommend a screen protector if you're taking it with you much, plus you likely will want a larger micro SD card since it comes with 32 GB by default, which is rather puny. The way the joycons slip in and out of the tablet and controller though leaves a little to be desired, as on day 1 they always felt super snug but now they have a tiny bit of wiggle to them.
