Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought this for our children and they absolutely love it. We are mario fans and being able to continue that with the Switch is great. They have a good game selection, the graphics are great, and it's a much better portable gaming device than a tablet. My only concerns with it are that I wish it came with 2 remotes (the joy con remotes are expensive) and that when plugging it into the tv it comes out of the docking station too easy (kids sometimes accidentally knock it over).

I bought the console as a Christmas present for my son. We have two Wii and Nintendo DS that we have been using for years. The Nintendo Switch can be used like the DS, like a tablet or like the Wii. The controllers are like wiimote, they are aware of your movements, vibrate and make sounds but are way smaller. The "controllers" can be used like one big controller or two independent wiimote... to convert the former to the later it is like playing lego, you dissemble them. Every time, I hope I do not break them in the process because they are not cheap to replace. I wish that there was some form of backward compatibility but no. The wii games format is DVD, the DS some big cards and Switch another format... no way to reuse games from one console to another. We have bought three games and they are fun to play. Resolution is better and more playable. Versatile is what I liked, I can play on the TV or in the car. Not super impressed with the games yet... I found the console expensive when not on sale... Also be aware that if you have more than one kid, they might want each of them their own console. It is a good console for family games. Nintendo has a lot of options for kids and preteens. I will continue to use the WIi but I will not buy wii games equivalent on the switch. If you have a Wii and DS, try it before buying it. If you do not have a wii, buy it...

Best gaming device to get if you travel a lot. I find it super convenient when staying at hotels for work

Good for the kids to play and the summer, and traveling

I love the switch! I love how it can be mobile and can connect to the tv. I do wish the controllers were bigger but I’ll have to get the full size controllers.

Excellent purchase. Grandsons saved up their birthday money to purchase this. They love it.

The switch is good for travel and if you want to play something quick on the go

This is possibly my all time favorite video game system/console I’ve ever owned! So fun. Being able to play handheld, on the tv, and table top mode is so cool. Fun for all ages!

The Nintendo Switch is amazing. The multiple different playstyles makes for a fun change. There’s a great selection of games available on the eShop, and console games like Super Mario Odyssey are awesome.

I bought this console because how easy it is to “switch” from TV playing to mobile playing. The battery lasts long enough for a good gaming session and overall everything about this console is as expected.

Very Portable you can take it everywhere you go and most of all it’s suitable for people and children of all ages! You can even have it hooked up to a T.V for everyone to enjoy!! Some of the things you need to look out for is making sure you take good care of the joy cons mainly to avoid your controller from “Drifting” or your character/cursor moves with you touching the controller, it’s also recommended to buy an SD cars Incase you need more storage! The Switch is a console I highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a console that is fresh, new, exciting and most of all fun for the whole family!

I ordered this and expected it to be a mediocre console like all the other ones, basic graphics and functions. It turns out that this little tablet thing with red and blue remotes is much more than that! I’ve been playing on it for about 8 days now and I’m finding it difficult to put down to do something else, and thanks to its portable function, I can hook it up to my tv, or take it with me

The Switch is quite a technological marvel with its ability to be played anywhere like Nintendo's past handhelds yet contain the power better than even the previous Wii U console. The system storage is not the best for downloads, but the games already available to buy such as Splatoon 2 and Fire Emblem Warriors are fun to play with the Joy-Con controllers used together. Even if online gameplay will soon cost money, it's still much cheaper at $20 a year (less than $2 a month, about the price of a candy bar) than Sony and Microsoft's online services at about $60 a year.

Love my switch bought over 1000$ worth of games and played them all it runs like a charm. Love the dock and portable compact all together you won’t regret this purchase!

The system itself is really cool. It was super simple to setup. I like that you can have different profiles on it. To play a multiplayer game like Mario Party you don’t even have to buy another controller because the controller that comes with it turns into two controllers!! I really like the fact that you can hold it and play it and then set it into the doc and it instantly goes on the TVs and same when you take it out of the doc. The docking station is smaller and lighter than I expected. The only downside is the cost of buying extra joy cons and that it doesn’t have much memory built in.

Good quality and reasonable price. Highly recommended.

My daughter loves it! Sturdy device & larger screen than imagined! Works great with smart tv & it very portable as well- new switch offers longer battery life - great product

After the sad fate of the Wii U (a good console in my eyes) not many people believe Nintendo would ever come back from such a fail, but Nintendo proved them all wrong. The Nintendo Switch is a find "hybrid console" meaning it can act as a home console or portable. I was surprised how small the console actually is and at the same time feels solid in your hands. The Nintendo Switch already has two Game of the Year contenders in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey so the console is a great buy for this holiday season. There are a few cons as in you need an Micro SD card for Storage but if you are reading this on Best Buy you do have affordable options so be sure to pick a a 128 GB one

I really do enjoy the switch! I like how you can go anywhere with it and play! So different from wii u! Also love the games that have different characters then the wii u!

Not going to lie I’ve owned Nintendo systems in the past and I was expecting something similar to the old UI but it’s not really similar at all and very different but similar when it comes to gaming. They definitely made it more kid friendly I guess you could say and parental controlled but it’s still pretty good none the less. Audio quality would be average but could definitely be better. But I love being able to take this on road trips and being able to play together with others anywhere and everywhere. It’s not heavy doesn’t heat up because there’s a fan. The battery life is average.
