Customer Ratings & Reviews

First of all, I am not a serious gamer. I have always been a fan of Nintendo and the products they put out. I spend the majority of my time playing Mario Kart 8, but I have also purchased Splatoon 2, Breath of the Wild, and 1-2 Switch so far. I highly recommend the Switch to anyone who enjoys games put out by Nintendo. I've enjoyed being able to play the console in handheld mode while watching TV or while traveling. The biggest drawback is the hidden costs. Some are optional, but some are not. First, no games come with the console. 1-2 Switch is very overpriced and is not worth paying full-price for, and I really wish Nintendo had included this game with the console. Second, 32 GB is not a lot of storage. I spent an additional $50 or so on a large SD card so that I could download the games there and use the 32 GB only for the game data. This can be remedied by buying physical games; personally, I've always preferred physical games but decided to go the digital route this time around, and I have found it really nice to be able to switch between games so easily. I tend to play a variety of games now since I don't have to physically change them out. Third, I would recommend buying a screen protector for the Switch. These are inexpensive, but I have heard that the screen is susceptible to scratching. Finally, I have always been a fan of the Pro controllers. I would never play Mario Kart, for example, using the joy cons, unless I was traveling and using them in handheld mode. The pro controllers are $70 a piece, and I have four of them for when I play with others.

I bought this for my birthday and its been amazing.

I have been wanting to buy the switch since the “Stay in place” order started. Everyday l searched until just recently found it on BB site and grabbed it! So glad I did I love it! Works great no issues. I like that I can travel with it, play while I am out of the home and the. When home connect to my tv and play on the big screen.. it is perfect!

Just getting a replacement unit for my kid who was rough on her unit. Easy and quick to buy via the app/was able to pick it up in their new age locker system. Avoiding sometimes long electronic store check out lines is definitely a plus and I’m glad Best Buy has this in place. Bravo! Items works as intended

If you play handheld majority, this switch's battery life is an amazing upgrade. The system runs extremely cool, the chipset in this switch should have been the original chipset to begin with. If you play predominantly docked this isn't worth it for you. If you don't have a switch yet, GET THIS ONE!

My daughter wanted this system for a long time and finally received one for Xmas. She enjoys it and cannot say enough about the joy factor and game play, since we can barely get her to stop. No issues with the quality of the product; it has an easy hook up to our TV and Nintendo has always been a great gaming system, which speaks for itself.

Excellent gaming station no matter your age. Nice to be able to play independently or multi-player using the detachable controllers. Nice Touch Screen effects. Can friend people online. Like the Minecraft on it. Nice portability and connecting to the TV too. Screen shots and 30 second videos while you game. New game notifications automatically. You can get the app for it on your phone for while you are away. Cool!

Love this! You can play it anywhere and the charge last forever!

Nintendo games are classics. For 300 dollars you get both a console and a handheld. Battery life as improved from 4.5 to 8 hours on this newly revised model. Very hard to get right now but Best Buy has it...most of the time. The problem I have with the switch is that there are too many parts and accessories. Setting it up takes some time.

I was unbelievably lucky to get one of these! I'm happy I was able to get one of these without paying an extra $100! Its a super family friendly cosole, definitely recommend! The batter life is pretty good! And its super user friendly! You don't need to pay $10 a month for the live subscription, its like $20/$30 for the whole year

Love it! Been getting good use from it even though the only game being played is Zelda "breath of the wild". It's going to take a while to get through this game!

Weither you want to play on the go, or at home on the big screen, the new version of the Nintendo switch is the way to go! With updated graphics and battery life, this is one of the best systems out there. There are a hole library of games to choose from aslo, weither you download them, or buy them at a store. A sd card will be required however as it only has about 26gb after installing and updating the system. I would definitely recommend a sd card over 100gb or more as there are a ton of fun games that are only available vital downloading them. Also, Nintendo puts games on sale every week for downloading. A pro controller is available also for those who do not like the one it comes with. Also, there are many games you can play with your friend to up to 4 players. I'd definitely recommend this system to anyone out there!

Couldn’t be happier with this system! Incredible quality, amazing system, easy to use, and portable. Makes playing video games more exciting and fun. May be small (since it’s portable), but it’s a great buy. I’ve been waiting for this system right when they went out of stock, and now that I have it, it’s honestly the best purchase I’ve made!

It's almost been a month so far since getting the Nintendo Switch. What I love the most about this console is its portability, meaning that I can carry it around on the go, undocked in handheld mode. Battery life varies depending on the screen brightness and what game you're playing. I get 4-6 hours.You can also use it as a home console by plugging it into your TV, all you need is your adapter and an HDMI cable which come included. Then there's tabletop mode where you can use the hinge on the back and let it stand while using the Joy-Cons wirelessly. I don't use it that way often. Other than the the Joy-Cons, the wireless Pro controller and other wired 3rd party controllers are available on the market. If you consider yourself clumsy or heavy-handed like me, I recommend getting a screen protector and some other accessories, and always be gentle when placing your Switch into the dock. No issues so far.

After a disappointing experience with the WiiU, this is a great comeback. The versatility revolution to play at home and on the GO is just Awesome. Very glad some of the good WiiU games are back on this platform. A must have for Nintendo fans. Good selection of Games to choose from. Love the Easy to use HDMI plug in set up.

Excellent choice, bought for great grands. They love them.

What’s not to like about a system that lets you play on your 4K tv and switch to the tablet and go outside? Or into another room? Let’s be honest...when nature calls, your Switch can go with you. It’s the Gameboy on steroids. After the...meh...Wii U, this one is a home run. Great job, Nintendo. With Best Buy, I ordered Online and received it 4 days later. The delivery time was just what they promised.

My son and I have been playing this non-stop since I bought it. Mario Kart, Zelda, and Splatoon 2 are a few games we have purchased so far and haven't been let down. The quality of the console is fantastic and its so neat you can have it on your TV and just take it off of the dock and walk around the house playing your games without skipping a beat. This is the best Nintendo console yet in my opinion.

This is a very nice gaming system. The games are great and what everyone has come to expect from Nintendo. The console is easy to operate. The mobile gaming option is fantastic. The only cons I’d have: it is a relatively expensive system. The joycons are slightly loose-fitting when connected to the tablet. The dock stands upright, which means the tablet must be inserted from above—this is a bit of an inconvenience when trying to make shelf-space on an entertainment console. The dock can lay flat, but the tablet does not lock securely into the dock in this configuration, which could possibly expose the tablet to being knocked out of the dock. These are minor gripes, and overall this is a very nice gaming system.

An upgrade for game playing compared to the Wii. We mostly use it for playing games via the TV and the resolution is excellent. It is a bit difficult to set up and get use to the controls but once set up it works great.
