Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great for road trips and playing around the house on cool days

Got the new standard switch and just for the better battery makes this purchase worth it. We get about 2-3 more hours of battery life verses our slightly older switch

Some many different options with it! Single player, 2 player, play as handheld, play on the table and connect to the tv! Best thing I have ever bought my kids!

So much fun! Got husband this for Christmas and it is a blast. We did not stop playing it all Christmas day and the pickup at Best buy was fast and easy.

We got this for our son since he’s been wanting since for a very long time. He loves to play Splatoon 2 on this and it’s difficult for us to make him stop to take a break. I would give this five stars!

The Nintendo Switch is very simple and fun device. Great as a console and even better on the go. I can play it for hours and still be thoroughly entertained

The new switch has a much longer battery life than the old one. Still has a great sleek design and can play all your favorite games on the go. Now you can just play them longer.

Purchased this as an option for my kids. I am the one who has been using it the most. Working great. Having the option to play on your TV set or on the go is just great

Absolutely love this system, and would love to buy it as a gift. Based on previews, I wan't sold until I finally decided to buy it. Needless to say, I'm hooked and have been recommending it to everyone.

Love the system!!! Its great on road trip for the kids!!!

Was able to buy this during quarantine! It took me a few days to get it when it’s in stock because it’s bery competitive. However, I’ve been playing nonstop!

Really like the switch for graphics and games. Not super ergonomic and the device gets heavy to hold after awhile. It plugs into the tv. Also uses standard USB C charger (so works with laptop charger as well). Long battery life. Need to get online plan to use all the features. We've had trouble with the Joy-cons, but Nintendo's warranty covered it.

This thing has been tons of fun the past several months of ownership (got it in May 2020 - revewing in Dec 2020). The only warning i'll give is - beware, it's EASY to go well beyond the $300 base price buying accessories and such. So plan out what extras you think you'll need (extra dock, pro controller, extra joycons, carrying case, online membership, etc). Still a good value overall. Also of note, in the 6+ months of ownership, i haven't had any joycon drifting issues. BUt i also don't use the joycons/handheld mode that often - mostly pro controller in docked mode.

Who needs another rave review of the Switch? I've owned every major video game system and many minor ones since the early 90's, this one is solidly ahead of the pack but from strictly a hardware standpoint, I wouldn't put it on top. It does everything it promises to, but it's the least excited I've been for a console since well, I bought a WiiU. While I'm glad Nintendo made something that indie developers are able to port their games to, at this point I know I'm only ever buying a Nintendo console to play a handful of first party games. That experience so far, has been phenomenal, and recommending Zelda and Mario isn't necessary, that is why you're getting a Switch in mid-2018. But I can't help but feel like for $300 this is hard to recommend over a cheaper Xbox One S if I only had to have one system. It gets even harder to stomach when you factor in the $70+ controllers and the $60 Nintendo games that almost never go on sale. I suppose it depends on who you are, where you are in life and what you want out of a gaming console, but the Switch feels like a compromise as a portable system and as a home console. The system itself just doesn't have the same build quality that I would expect from Nintendo hardware, it reminds me of a cheap Android tablet. The Wii and WiiU felt like they were made with nicer build materials, the matte plastic all over this bad boy and the dock are just kind of stale. This is an easy 5 star at $200 which it will inevitably get to, but this version of the console feels like the original fat DS to me and I'm looking forward to the DS Lite equivalent for the Switch.

a very good console to play on a trip you can play for hours

Family fun! Sooooooooooo fuuuuuuuuuun!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brand speaks for itself. Haven't purchased a console new since the GameCube came out. Quite pleased with the Switch. Options for popular and indie games are a-plenty.

Very easy to set up and enjoying the system, no complaints

I actually bought this for myself after my ex bought one for my son. I primarily play Animal Crossings but it is super easy to use and haven’t had any issues.

My daughter loves it! She has been wanting one for months and she it for Christmas was awesome.
