Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great gaming console! The biggest sale point of this game console is its "convertible" feature, which means you can take it out and play it like a handheld game device, while it can be docked and output to TV when it is at home. When it is in "handheld" mode, the screen is touchable as well, like a mini tablet. To be fair, it's not the most powerful and nicest screen output like 4K you can find from competitor like PS4/5. So, if you are a hardcore video game fans that quality of screen output is your first priority, this is not for you. The screen output is HDMI 1080p, but it's more targeted for people who are looking for a versatile solution, can be played handheld and docked to output to big TV screen. Of course enjoy lots of motion games with the joycon.

So I haven’t owned a system since the PS2 So this was a severe upgrade for a Christmas present. I tested 2 games on the switch to make sure it worked before it was put away until December and I have to say it is the best thing I’ve ever played on. The two games I tested out was Legend of Zelda:BOTW and the my hero academia fighting game the second one. The joycons I believe that’s what they are called work flawlessly, the colours and display were amazing and out of everything just an amazing buy didn’t die quickly either which was a plus. I was going to get the lite version but my best friend is partially blind so I got the actual switch that sets up to the TV and the test out was great she was able to play fine and not get close to my tv. So this is perfect:)

I bought, almost at the same time, a Nintendo Switch and a PS4 (not the pro), for those two are the consoles that better appealed to my gamer needs, and all I can say is that the PS4 is starting to get dusty. The Nintendo Switch simply has something the other don’t: play whenever and wherever you want! It’s library is growing by the minute, getting better and better, and their exclusives are beyond words. As a gamer, if you are on a very tight budget, I would recommend the Nintendo Switch because it combines the best of home consoles and portable ones. If you are not on a budget, get a Switch and a PS4 (and perhaps a gaming pc). Exclusives creates success for consoles, and those two have them. But nothing is perfect. The Nintendo Switch comes with a very disappointing 32gb of storage, so a SD card is gonna be a must, and the battery life could be better. But even woth this cons, this console has the potencial to become my favorite console ever.

Got this as a gift for my dad for his birthday and he absolutely loves it! We also got the special micro SD card for it to be able to download more games and it's so convenient! Best Buy made it so easy to order it online and pick it up. It's quick to set up and begin playing, almost everyone in my family has gotten a switch at this point and it's a great deal for something so easy and fun!

-Great handheld design. - great selection of launch titles with alot of Third party content -rumble on joy cons both in hand or in portable mode feel great - good brightness on screen with - console comes with HDMI cable - Can upgrade storage using any microSD storage -AMiibo support - wifiand bluetooh connectivity is great -docked to portable is seemless and is a real joy. - console comes with joy grip to give joys cons a more traditional feel. - Charge port uses USB-C meaning ou can by third party chargers if you ever lose your cable - docked mode up to 1080p, portable 720p COns - No- D pad on either joy con. - expensive controllers - small hard drive space -online gaming support is not up to par with the other consoles. - kickstand is tedious to open and made of cheap plastic. be careful opening it -while portable, the device is simply too big to put in your pocket, not exactly recommended for on the go gaming.

A great system to have if you are looking to play games on the go or not wanting to connect to a tv to play. You can play lots of old school NES, SNES games and current gen games as well. You cant go wrong with this system.

Look, seeing this finally in stock after three months was a godsend. I was starting to see prices going for at least $400-500 for one. So, when I found this in stock in best buy, I just threw money at them. It arrived on time and I was very happy for my purchase! I wanted to get this one as it has a better battery life than the older version. On a side note, I would recommend getting (at least) a screen protector & maybe the pro controller if you are going to game heavily. I used the joycons for a couple of days and they feel too thin for my tastes. They're fine, but I feel like I'm going to break the A button. I'm just happy I finally got one, and if you're looking for a regular Switch and have the money, buy it immediately because it would go out of stock within hours.

The Switch is great for all different ages and skill levels. I play Mario Maker 2 online with my 7 and 3 year olds a couple times a week. We all have a blast trying out different levels made by players all over the world.

portability is so nice, games are going to be the difference maker though. it's like having a 4k tv without 4k content. BotW is one of my all time favorite games. splatoon for me is a long term game that I enjoy playing. very easy device to use. having is usb c is very handy.

Great purchase !! I would recommend this to anyone who has friends or family over.

So I’m glad I waited to buy a Switch because they improved the battery life on the improved Switch. I love to watch tv and play it handheld. The longer battery life is great for commuting/traveling, too! Really love it and so glad I bought it.

The Nintendo Switch has so many different gaming options all in one that we can switch between (probably why it's called a switch). We played games on our Android TV and got a bunch of fun attachments. All good so far!!!! 1 year Edit - Whelp we are now dealing with what the internet calls the "orange screen of death" after only a year of having it. It's not charging correctly and then today the only screen we could get was an orange screen....looked it up and apparently this is what happens when it detects a "catastrophic failure" hence "the orange screen of death". I have a replacement plan and will talk with Best buy and the geek squad but the fact that we're having to do this a year in is very frustrating. I guess better a year in than after the plan expires. Will update again with what happens.

Nice product, really easy to use and baterie last long.

My kid loves the console.it's easy to use, portable, easy to connect and functional. Great gift.

I am very satisfied customer, due to great quality. I really recommend other customers to get a Nintendo Switch from Best Buy.

The Switch is a fantastic little console - and the first to get me back into console gaming after years of PC gaming. The selection of games is incredible (they really will put Skyrim on anything), and the docking feature is wonderful for gaming at home. It's obviously very portable as well so gaming on the go is simple and enjoyable. Some accessories are a must to make up for the shortcomings of the device. You will want a carrying case to protect your gear and tote around any physical games you collect. You will want an SD card for your digital media/games, because 32GB just isn't enough. Finally, buy a nice Pro or third party controller. If you have large hands there is nothing about this console, the Joycons, or even the Joycon grip that is ergonomic/comfortable. I suspect this is an issue for hands of all sizes, especially after extended use.

Easy to use. Great size to use anywhere. Simple for younger kids to pick up on and use. Battery life is good also.

The screen is great being both touch and a nice personal mini monitor for playing with the controller separately. It hooks right up to the television and looks great as well (although, don't expect it to be the same experience as a PS4 or XBOX ONE, but that's not what Nintendo is about - they are all about just having fun with video games). I definitely recommend getting this version over the lite portable standalone: 1. you can replace the controllers on this machine and 2. you can share with others 3. you can play it on the big screen. Saving $100 is not worth eliminating these advantages. The only thing I'm not crazy about with the Switch is the tiny analog controllers that are not nearly as comfortable as the XBOX and PS controllers. You can get alternative controllers to remedy this issue though.

The Nintendo Switch I’m glad I made, I use it all home all the time and actually took it with me to use on the plane while traveling as well. It’s super convenient and the selection of game Nintendo provides are awesome, having a blast!

Great game to play with the family lots of games to enjoy spending time together
