Customer Ratings & Reviews

Everything was nice and easy purchasing this item through Best Buy. It also arrived before the estimated time which was nice!

Zelda breath of the wild and Super Mario Odyssey alone are worth buying this system. I haven’t even got to play Mario Kart yet since these are epic games, and rocket league is only $20 digital download. Literally all of my friends have a switch now too.

Nintendo really did a good job innovating with this console. It’s small, portable, packs a punch, and some games can even support 8 players.

It was a present for my son's birthday. He has been begging for one for a long time. He absolutely loves it. No issues.

When I was going to Indian, my flight is a must have if I didn’t have that able to by having this felt so good like watch play video games watch YouTube if you had a hotspot pretty fun 

I think Nintendo could be alot let vicious with their prices but it is def the best console for kids. Seamlessly going from console to handheld is great & even usparentscan play with them bc who doesn't love Mario?!

Very fun platform, my kids have loved playing Mario games on it.

Great portable game. Love it, carry it everywhere.

Amazing how technology has evolved since the original Nintendo. It’s lots of fun and keeps the kids entertained. It’s great it’s portable and it can be docked to the tv. I would recommend this device.

My kids are between 9 and 11. They absolutely love the Switch. Battery life is great. The fact that they can coop play helps keep the peace. Could not be happier with they purchase on if you are thinking about it buy it.

I am not a gamer but this is amazing! The fact that its portable and you can buy a memory card and download all your games! They revolutionize the game by being portable and HDMI. We love it and the kids love it.

I bought the Switch for my wife for Christmas this year! She has been playing on it non stop since she got it. Battery life has been great on it. It has smooth screen transitions. Game options are plenty! We love it!!

So far so good.. more money then i would of liked to of spent, the games are also pretty expensive, which i would like to see the price go down a little ways.. but i have no complaints about the product or battery..

I've really needed a console like this. I don't have time to devote an entire weekend to a game and when I do have time I'm usually traveling. For me games have to be something I can put down for a day or 2 and pick back up right where I left off and take with me. Portables like the Vita and 3DS were really the only way to do that and play any kind of decent games (lets face it, the app store and play store are never going to have quality games when everything is competing at a $2-$3 price point and/or are full of ads and in-app purchases.) Portables just aren't ergonomic though and power-wise they've been pretty limited. Well, the Switch fills that gap in spectacular fashion. Pros: Ergonomics. Like all Nintendo consoles since the Wii you get your choice of a variety of control schemes but they've never been this seamless or as functional as the Joycons. The fact that I can take them off in portable mode and sit back in an airplane seat or lay down in bed with the screen in a phone holder over me is awesome. Load times: Solid state flash is back for game media (finally!) and it makes things snappy. There's no install time and running the game off physical media is as fast, if not faster, than running a downloaded game off a SATA hard drive. Interface: In keeping with the load times the interface is as clean and snappy as any good android or iOS tablet and the UI is as direct and intuitive as it gets. This is a huge improvement over the Wii U and Sony and Microsoft would do well to take note. Build quality: Nintendo finally ditched the shiny kiddie plastic feel and made something that feels like an adult device and is marketed to, adults. Cons: No apps or browser (yet?): I'm sure this is coming and they hint at it in the interface but presently there's no netflix, hulu, etc. This is obviously a change that can be made over the air and I have several other devices that also do streaming. I probably wouldn't use a broweser even if it had one since my phone's browser is going to be better and have all my favorites already. The kickstand is a bit too far to the right: unfortunately this means the switch doesn't stand up well on soft or curved surfaces and you'll have to jerry rig something or, perhaps, get a case or stand for it. I don't know if those are coming. It is a unique problem to have among consoles though. Null: These are things that I'm either ambivalent about or cancel themselves out. Games: right now, breath of the wild is an amazing game, it's spectacular. Unfortunately there's not much else out yet. Bomberman, perhaps. There's a lot of stuff coming but at the moment we're kind of just waiting.

Wicked fun. Love the classic and new games. Easy to hook up to a tv or bring on a trip

I deliberated a lot in purchasing this new console being that I already had a ps4 with many games. I made the purchase for my love of Mario kart and this game and console certainly did not disappoint. Its multifaceted capabilities are fantastic. I never notice the difference with the onscreen graphics quality to the handheld quality. The unconventional controllers are new, innovative and a pleasure to use; the lack of attachment to the standard remote is a pivotal design for gaming systems and is a joy to use. Only downside is when playing two player the joycons feel small and your hand begins to cramp up regularly. It has become my homes hot commodity and is used frequently when company is over. I have just purchased Zelda breath of the wild and I’ve only become more hooked. If you’re hesitant in purchasing, take the leap and buy it. You won’t regret it.

I'm still more of a PlayStation guy, but the handheld/console hybrid thing is really fun, and there are some really great exclusives that you just can't get anywhere else. It'll never be my first choice for multi-platform titles due to limitations in graphics and online play, but for gaming while traveling, easily playing old games from my childhood, or diving into the odd exclusive, the system really does a great job.

Super compact for leaving room. Easy to carry around the house or for travel. Wife and kids love it.

Owning all the major platforms I can say that I was totally surprised at how wrong I was about the Switch. The Switch, in essence, is the "Un-Console" of the Big Three. In no way will it compare to the latest offerings from Xbox or PlayStation, it does best complimenting those consoles. Zelda is a masterpiece, and more great games will be coming. As a main console, it's harder to recommend due to a lack of features and games. As a second or third console, it's truly amazing. It's so nice to be able to take the console with you -- even if that is just to a different room in your house.

Me and my wife travel a lot and live to play video games while we travel with a travel protective kit this is our go too!
