Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was replacement for my kid’s previous Switch that stopped charging. Thankfully I had the replacement plan so he was able to get another one.

Purchased for my son for Christmas. He has played before at a friends house and loves it

The hardware in this console is fantastic. The screen is gorgeous and vibrant, buttons are responsive and lag-free. Control sticks feel great. The operating system is simple, fast, and responsive with super short load times. Big step up over the 3DS and Wii U. That said, I'm not a fan of holding the JoyCons (the little pop-out controllers) sideways. They're pretty tiny, and the shoulder buttons don't register reliably when pressed, which makes them pretty much useless for Mario Kart. If you intend on playing a lot of multiplayer games, I'd recommend investing in some better controllers. It also lacks the portability of the 3DS family of systems. While you can pop it out of its stand and take it anywhere, the battery life is short and it's kind of an awkward size. It's larger than a 3DS XL but smaller than an iPad. Wrapping it in a protective skin isn't an option if you plan on docking it regularly, and it's much too large to carry in your pockets. The library is a little lacking as well, though it's still early days. I found the new Zelda game a little underwhelming (after ~15 hours it starts becoming easy and same-y and I lost interest), and I had already logged a bunch of hours on Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U. There's lots of great indie game offerings like Cave Story and Shovel Knight, but they're priced a little steeply considering the countless other platforms they're offered on. (I remember buying Cave Story+ on my original Wii for $12 in 2010. On the Switch, it's $29.99) All that said, this is a great piece of hardware with a lot of fantastic-looking games on the horizon. I just recommend doing a little investigating into its library first to see if what's on offer now and in the near future is right for you.

After purchasing this product, it was amazing to spend a lot of time with the family. All of us like Mario and the new controls this console brings for the interaction. Highly recomendable.

Good flexibility to play on the go or docked. Also a ton of games available!

I bought this console for my nephew. So far, he loves playing on it. It's a fun experience for both mobile and at home play using the TV. I would definitely recommend this for your children.

This is the best car and everywhere else entertainment device there could be , and connects to your tv, although games can be little too pricey

Absolutely love the switch. Easy to setup and graphics are above average! Couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Highly recommend purchasing one!

Good console, love the fact that it is a hybrid console. I enjoy playing handheld when I'm playing solo and on the TV when I'm playing with others.

we had been trying to get ahold of one for about 2 months and we finally got one. We also got the mario party game and play with the family. We love it

My kids love it. It works well and keeps them entertained.

This console is worth having. My son loves the games and we love the ability to take it with us.

My son loves the Nintendo Switch. Great customer service all around! Professional, knowledgeable staff. We had several options to purchase it elsewhere but so glad we bought it at Best Buy!

Great purchase so far. Little brother is enjoying it to the fullest.

This console is the ultimate party machine. It is easy to use and understand and the portability is great. The battery life in the portable mode isn't the longest I've seen, but it is great for short bursts and not long gaming sessions as I think it is best in the docked mode. The games don't have the best ultra 4k graphics, but they don't need to when the console and games are just so enjoyable t play.

Very versatile console, great for kids. 1st party titles are a must.

Kids love it, fun games and the convenience of playing on a TV or as a handheld device.

Snagged this online and had a very positive curbside pickup experience at the store. So far I love the Switch (so does my partner) and have no regrets. MK11, Fri. the 13th and Animal Crossing have all been a blast to play. The joy-cons can be frustrating at times so I would definitely recommend getting a separate controller for games where accuracy is important.

This product is great! It is the perfect way to de-stress after a long day of studying. It is the perfect way to hang out with friends all white staying inside! This is a must have!

We got this for our 5yo (and husband) and our whole family enjoys it! We haven't taken it off the base yet but if you get this Mario kart is a must!
