Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been on the market for a Nintendo Switch for the past 2 years, but I've been hesitant/on the fence about it because of the lofty $300 price tag. However, this past year, with the release of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Switch, I just had to relive the experience that I once had way back when I played this game on the Nintendo Gameboy. So this past Black Friday, I decided to just go for it. After reading product reviews and other blogs, I quickly came to realize that Nintendo had just recently released an updated Switch with better hardware. And by hardware, I mean the battery. The original model included a battery which held a charge for 2.5-6.5 hours. The game system that comes with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, is likely that original model. The newer model is the exact same switch, from what I can tell, however it comes with a better battery. The newer batter can hold a charge from 4.5-9 hours. The unfortunate thing regarding the newer model is that currently, it does not come with a game. But, I decided to forgo getting a free game with a worse battery and instead purchased the new model. The important thing to know when shopping for a Switch is that the outside packaging (box) doesn't tell you which battery you are getting. So if you just grab one off the shelf, you won't know just by looking at the box if it is the old model or the new model. However, from what I have read online, you are able to tell based on the first 3 letters of the serial number. On the bottom of the box, locate the serial number. For the newer battery, look for the serial number that starts with XKW (not XAW). XAW is the old model, while XKW is the new model. Additionally, if you are buying an open box/used switch, you can tell which model you are getting based on the MOD number on the back of the unit. When looking at the back, look for where it says MOD, if you want the newer model, you want the HAC-001(-01) model. If it says the MOD is HAC-001, that is the older model. While you are essentially getting a discount by purchasing a Nintendo Switch with a game included at the same price as a Switch without a game, I personally think it's much better to get a console which comes with a longer battery charge.

Great for all ages. Every time I went to go buy this it was sold out but it is absolutely fantastic. It’s super versatile or take it on the go or connect it right to your TV. I’m 33 years old and I play on it all the time.

The Nintendo Switch is a hybrid system. You can play on the go or play on the tv. The Switch games are also very good, meaning graphic wise it’s not bad at all. Compared to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 yeah the graphics are toned down, and doesn’t run 60 frames per second. It if you look past that the Nintendo Switch is really impressive. With the past Nintendo systems the video games were very kid friendly now with the Switch you can play Doom, Wolfenstien, LA Noire just to name a few. If you like gaming on the go or like handheld systems. The Nintendo Switch is worth every penny

Its a Nintendo switch i think you get it. My first one lasted years 8 years before i had to buy a replacement.

I surprised my son with this gaming system upon his arrival home from summer camp. He was beyong excited when he knew it was a Nintendo Switch. He consistently playes it and still enjoys it after the newness has worn off. It's light weight, portable and easy to set-up.

The switch is really good, not only in terms of games, but also how it functions as a home console you can take on the go. So far the only trouble I've had with the console, is trying to take out the kickstand, which I swear I can not get out. Would highly recommend!

My son's love their Nintendo switch! Doesn't take up a lot of room and great for travel!

Ive had it for over a year. Its a great console just wish nintendo had more games

A revision of the acclaimed Nintendo Console. The Nintendo Switch V2 has a longer battery life and the controllers are more improved in it's communication wirelessly to the console. A must have in any gamers collection!

I've been searching for months for the neon color option to be back in stock at a normal price and I'd say it was definitely worth the wait. Its been fun for the whole family and the travel friendly option is the best.

my son is completely happy with this product. I like to sneak and play it myself. My son saved up all his money for 9 months (christmas, birthday, chores etc) to buy this switch. He was proud of his purchase.

We have Nintendo Wii that still works, so we weren't sure whether to buy Switch. But the fact that we hadn't bought any gaming tech in 10+ years made it an easy decision. My 2 daughters (10 & 7) love Switch. They've played games like Mario Kart, Mario Party, Just Dance, Mario & Sonic at Olympic Games and are always looking for an opportunity to play. My wife and I have enjoyed playing all these as well. If you are not a hard core gamer like me, but are looking for a good way to have some fun with family and friends, you won't be disappointed. The only drawback so far is that the red remote sometimes doesn't sync right away, and takes a couple of minutes of experimenting before it works, but it doesn't happen regularly.

Saved my marriage. Helped me reconnect with my estranged parents. Just excellent, Nintendo.

My daughter can take the fun anywhere , excellent device for everybody.

Great product, east to set up, long battery life. I love how i can take ghis with me on the go

My daughter requested this for her birthday. She read reviews and features to back her in trying to convince its one of the best out there. Judging on her reaction this has satisfied her expectations and she is so happy, my brother was convinced to buy one for himself.

Wonderful purchase , grand daughter is very happy with her new switch . Got a few good games , keeps her amused and is great quality . Bit light on for instructions to get started. Very happy with purchase

One of the easiest prices of technology that students can use to unwind after a long day of studying.

Perfect to play with the family or by yourself, also the portability is great if your going on trips.

This was a gift to my nephew and she loved it, great quality and easy to use
