Customer Ratings & Reviews

I came off being pretty bitter about Nintendo's final stand alone console the WiiU, the first Nintendo (or really console in general) I've sold off in disgust due to their actions and third parties alike. Knowing how people see Nintendo = Resell I preordered, and up until the last moment I wasn't sure if I'd keep it but I did. After getting it out of the box and setup I was pleasantly surprised to see how comfortable the device was, felt nice, familiar to my (and inside it is) Nvidia Shield tablet, yet minimalist and to the point. Easily configured and setup out of the box, a very fast and painless effort compared to other devices I own or have owned from game makers. It's a comfortable device to use either with the joycons on the device as an intended handheld that it is, or with the bracket to use it as a gamepad and play off the TV in even higher resolution. I just had Zelda Breath of the Wind for a couple weeks, so it was the real test bed. That game was easy to lose hours of time on and not realize it, and thankfully the comfort of the device didn't make it clear discomfort could happen, as it never did. I had runs as short as under 2 hours and as high as 6 on accident a day or two and everything went well. Easy on the eyes in either mode, comfortable in either mode to play using all buttons, solid audio in either style as well. Visually it's an appealing system with games. I've since imported a real copy(physical) of I Am Setsuna (it plays in English, French too), Blaster Master 0 download, and a physical copy of Binding of Isaac. Each has it's own visual and audio style and the system lends well to it. You have on one end a more technical sounding or 8bit throw back style, then with the RPG it has a really moving smooth piano score throughout that sounds like CD quality audio. The various visual styles all come off a crisp, smooth, non jarring, a real treat. The only complaints I can really throw at the device I can't dock a star for as they're not necessities. It would have been nice if you could charge the joycons via the bracket, but given the life they have docking them to the tablet isn't an issue. The kickstand is flimsy in back, you need to be on a flat surface or it could just tip over. I imagine if you're abusive you could pop it off, but it appears tabbed and could pop back in. Some have argued the system dock can scratch it, yes if you're rough it perhaps could, but if you put it in like a mature person straight in and not just toss it in at an angle grinding along the screen area it's fine. If that's a problem, so be it but you can get a glass screen protector or a nice sleeve for the dock itself by third party designers. The systems has a few little potential perceived physical flaws depending on personal usage, but where it counts inside, the display, the audio, the controls themselves it works like a charm.

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.

I personally love the Nintendo switch and so does my son. They have plenty of games for everyone. Works great as a handheld device or playing on a big screen by using the Switch Dock. Easy to figure out and work with. My son is 4 and he plays it without any issues.

Easy to use good selection apps. Portable use n charging easy

I don't know what else to say other than I love having a Switch!!!! Very great product indeed.

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.

Nintendo did great in making changes to improve the battery life of the second gen Switch console. This console is miles better than the Wii U, and brings me back to the fun and intuitive use of the original Wii controllers.

This is a very versatile gaming console. I love how you can play on your TV and then take out of the base and take it with you. The only drawback is the variety of games is limited compared to offerings from other gaming systems.

The Nintendo switch was a great product that I purchased in Best Buy it was at a really amazing price

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.

This console is so great as a is adaptable for your TV and is also portable to take wherever you go I also have an xbox so it is totally different from that which I enjoy because of the old school Mario feel it has!

Love the system and games but would lovd to see aomw of the older games available for the system

Nintendo switch is great and kid friendly fun to play with the family

The Nintendo Switch is absolutely the future of gaming. The ability yo play how you want, when you want is the thing gamers have been asking for for what seems like an eternity. Sure, we have had handheld system and console(home) systems for years. And the Wii U and PS4/vita tried to allow us a new way to play with their remote options...but they left us out in the cold on truly playing the same games both inside and outside your home. The switch remedies that. Want to play on your couch on the tv? Disconnect the joy con, and play either using them individually in both hands, or with the dog ear controller. Want a more traditional controller grab the pro controller which feels comfortable in your hands. Want to play two player? Hand one joy con to your buddy or child and play together with them turned sideways. Want to watch something on tv while playing? Undock the switch and play it in handheld mode by connecting the joycon to the tablet. Or play in table top mode with the built in kick stand. Want to take it to a friend's house slip it in a case (sold by itself) and go. I've seen seen people playing it at the park, at the restaurant, the library and more. Truly play your games anywhere you want..including while on the toilet. Now a few quick notes. Some people have said the dock can scratch the tablet..I have not had this issue nor have any of my friends or family that own the system. A quick fix if your worried is to buy a screen protector just like you would a phone if you are worried...which you might want to do if you play to play it on the go a lot anyway. ( look up Switch dock socks on etsy..if you want a custom way to help protect your system in dock) There was a brief issue with joy con synch...again I didn't have an issue with this at all, and Nintendo has already corrected the issue in manufacturing and software updates. Those two issue aside, which has actually been Only on a minority of the 2pkus million systems already sold in a month the switch is fantastic. My only complaint is lack of "on board storage" (only 32gb)Make sure to buy yourself a 64+ gb sdxc card as your gonna want some of the digital only games. While I wish I didn't have to go that route it's no different then many tablets or phones so we're pretty used to it. last note: games If you can get only one....get: ZELDA Breath of the Wild is easily the best game of the last 2 years. Complete open world adventuring with all the traditional ZELDA charm. Make sure to pick it up. There are plenty of games in developement set to launch this year and beyond. I can't suggest this system enough. As a gamer (who owns systems from every company) it is a perfect addition to my gaming addiction and an innovation in how we play. One I am sure the competitors will be copying in the near future.

Amazing Nintendo device very fun and easy to use, portable, and yet can also be used on TV! Kid Friendly!

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

Nintendo Switch has brought me so much fun during the pandemic. It is easy to set up - I'm not a tech person but I am able to figure this out with the instruction on the box. Overall, I highly recommend this product.

I love my switch! Its really fun although i do recommend getting a case to protect it!

This game console has proven to be a hit for the family. I really enjoy that it can be played on the tv or as a handheld console. I was so impressed with this console that I purchased Nintendo Switch Lites for my children.
