Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have PS2 and Wii. I have played on PS3 and Xbox at friends' places. But Switch is so different! Small console, very portable, easy to set up. Very few wires. Sleek controllers. Superb battery life.

Good quality and reasonable price. Highly recommended.

If you got the 2nd iteration of the console (indicated by the background color on the box is completely red), you can pretty much play this for 5-6 hours as opposed to 2-3. Totally worth it, even if you have the first generation model that has its own secret perks if it's a launch model. Personally, I'd still choose this over the Lite model since you get a lot of value for $300. A set of Joycons are $80, and the dock itself is $60, and you're getting all of these right out of the box. Plus you still have the option of playing your games on the big screen. The only tradeoff is the console's LCD isn't as good as the Lite's.

This gaming system is the best for anyone who enjoys gaming! It’s for all ages really and the greatest I’ve had

I own all the consoles, but this one ended up being way better than I expected. The games are great, and the portability makes it something I wish the PSP was.

Love the system, wish it came with more than one controller but eh, it’s a great family game night option!

Great gaming product that keeps you entertained for fours at a time, high quality performance and graphics, long battery life and easy and sleek enough for easy handling

The best thing about it for my family is good and high-quality.

Very good device I would recommend anyway who likes playing smaller hand games

I started on a game boy pocket when I was 4, and I knew about the great home consoles, such as the PlayStation and the n64. But what blew me away was the fact that I could take games on the go and play them whenever I go...as long as the batteries lasted. I didn't care it was greyscale colors or that it didn't even come with a built in light; that made it more of a fun challenge riding in the car after sunset. Now the switch is combining what I loved or portable gaming with the power of current home gaming. And yes it doesn't output 4K. I don't care, cuz the 1080p on my tv AND even the 720p on its own screen still look great! Yes it only has 32 GB storage built in (25.9 after UI), but the cartridges are just like the game boy games and save them on tonthe catridge. Again the benefits of portable gaming. And yes we'll grow out the battery issue into the battle field here. 2.5-6 hours...I don't care! Because this gives me a good reminder when I run low on battery to let it charge and I can go do somwtrhing else instead of being staying inside he whole time. Nintendo encourages gaming with friends and even doing other things with friends as well. Plus I love the joy cons! Easy to use and switch around and the dock works well too. Kickstand really helps for gaming on the go and sharing as well. Kudos nintendo! And can't wait for the great announced games either.

I got this for my sons birthday and he and his brother have so much fun with it. They use it everyday and don’t want to put it down. It is great quality and easy to use!

I was not expecting much when I decided to try out the Nintendo Switch. In my mind Nintendo was trying something "new" like they have with their last few generations of consoles. I am glad to say that this time it really paid off. They did really well with the seemlessly switching between the bigscreen and the screen on the tablet for on the go play. The graphics are also very stunning from what I saw while playing Breathe of the Wild and 1 2 Switch. Which brings me to my next point, though the console does everything it says it does very well, the Joy-cons, don't worry they do everything they said they would do, are a little awkward to use. Even with the nice dock that you can use while playing on the big screen is a little awkward. Some of the buttons, specifically the + and - buttons are to close to other buttons or sticks and make them awkward to hit, or you hit the wrong button frequently. On top of that I don't know if many game developers will actually incorporate some of the gimicks of the Joy-Con. I mean the HD rumble sticks in the controllers were really cool when they were use in 1 2 Switch, but I can't really see many developers having a use for them, though this is just purely speculation. Finally the Joy-Cons have a single fault in my opinion. They must have an unobscured line of sight to the switch console or they will stop responding properly. There were various times where I had my feet up or my knee blocking the controllers direct path, because who doesn't like to get comfy while playing a game, and the joy-con stopped responding to my inputs or continues with my last input. This caused me to walk off of a few cliffs as well as die to a couple of moblins, but this also isn't the worst thing in the world either. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing the Switch, and like I said I really was not expecting the machine that I got to play.

I bought one of these for my grandson for Christmas and he loves it. My son saw that if 2 people have a switch, they could play games and compete against each other, so I bought my son one for his birthday and now he can play games with his son. Great to take with on long trips to keep them busy so you don't hear "Re we there yet" every 15 to 20 minutes.

Yep, the switch is like the wii but now you can take it on the go. There are fun games, had a great time playing old school snes and nes games with my kids.

Needed to purchase second Switch because two grand daughters argued over the first one..Finally, Peace in the Family

My wife and kids love having the portability of this being to play the game on the regular tv or taking it on the go

Giving this surprise gift to my son and watching his face light up reminded me of my own childhood happiness. Many thanks to the Best Buy team for suggesting such a wonderful gift.

Been thinking about getting this item since it first came out. This purchase was made for my son, but my wife and I play it as well. Great games and the fact that it can travel with you is a plus.

Great item, very convenient! Was able to use anywhere, only thing is needs more storage.

I purchased my first Switch system 2 years ago. My kids love playing on it, and with us always being on the go, my husband and I can now play video games again. We take the system just about everywhere we go; in hopes that we get a few min. to sit and play a game. I bought another switch system for my sister’s kids for Christmas this year. My one nephew is getting ready to have major surgery, and this will come in handy keeping the kids occupied as they travel back and forth to and from the hospital leading up to the surgery as well as allow my nephew to play video games while he stays in the hospital.
