Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros -great concept for handling portability -Controllers feel great as solo pieces in left and right hand -surprised and very happy at having the motion control in this console -battery life for console and controllers is amazing considering the technology -Looking forward to more games coming out for this console Cons -no good case to hold console yet while also working with Hub -unique controller with a battery life meaning you have to go out and buy a Joy Con Charging Grip to keep playing on big screen while the controllers charge in the grip. -No button on controllers can turn the Nintendo Switch on. You always have to go up to the console and hit the power button. All in all, this is a great system so don't get me wrong, there are minor flaws you can work with easily. The one game you have to buy with this console though is, hands down, The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of The Wild. I've played it twice already at 30 hours and 60 hours respectively. I will be going back to this game to experience all the DLC for the first time after I beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2 which is also another great game surprisingly. Finally, don't be surprised when you take out your first game from its case after buying this console. The game cartridges are small like a SD card for a camera only a little bigger and thicker.

I had the original switch and love that they extended the battery life. Only wish this had Bluetooth and bigger memory.

I can talk about how nicely it feels on your hands. How "premium" it looks. How great Zelda, Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade 2 are. How snappy the OS is. All of those things are true, but they miss the point. What Switch has done for me is give me my hobby back. With the home-mobile being so seamless, so instantaneous, I've played more games for more hours on Switch this year than last 3-5 years of gaming combined. Switch feels like a device for adults in that it fits into my lifestyle, and not the other way around. We've already bought a second in my house.

Great console for all occasions. Bonding with siblings/parents, hanging out with friends, drinking games at parties, the switch has so much to offer and brings people together more than any other console I've owned.

The Nintendo Switch is a great portable and console gaming system for all ages. Going from docked to portable is super simple and seamless. My only gripe is the battery life as most games last typically between 2-4 hours on a single charge. However, charging is very simple and quick as the system uses a USB-C charging port. The Switch is great for long car or plane rides as well and usually catches other people's attention. More games will be coming, but the selection out there will certainly keep you busy for at least a few weeks without flinching. I would also highly recommend getting the Pro Controller if you are used to gaming on other consoles. Using the Joy-cons is really only great for handheld gaming, not prolonged docked use. Highly recommended.

Been a nintendo fan for as long as I can remember. Love the portability and the games I play on the device.

Great for travel or for the big screen at home. A second controller necessary to save hands with multiplayer

I mean, with all of the hype you know this console is one of the best things that nintendo has done. The only thing I would recommend though is to get a pro controller with it. I have heard horror stories and have even experienced it myself. The joysticks are secured with a cheap plastic rather than metal (which every other controller uses) and breaks very easily, causing whats known as joycon drift. So trust me when I say, bundle this with a pro controller.

Love this product however wisht the games were cheaper

Great to use with tv or handheld. Nintendo always makes the best games like animal crossing and Luigi's Mansion 3

The *updated* Nintendo Switch does not disappoint. As compared to my launch day Switch, all the major problems, both software and hardware, have been addressed. Furthermore, the longer battery life comes in handy when using the device in portable mode. I found myself able to play Skyrim on the 5 hour flight to Hawaii (from California) with the battery carrying me through. Exact usability may vary, but I for one and pleasantly pleased with the updated model. Looking forward to limited editions now.

I love the switch. I got the neon color way because the grey one looked really boring in person. I got the console to play BOTW and it is amazing. I primarily play it docked, but am surprised about how often I play it in portable mode. Joycons have no issue and the battery life is pretty good. I have heard awesome things about the pro controller, but have yet to get one. I would recommended that you buy a screen protector though. Also, if you want to charge it on-the-go then you will also need a USB type A to USB type C cable (there is not one provided).

Works great, easy to travel with, good game options.

I waited to pick up the switch till Mario Odyssey and it was worth the wait. I love how portable the system is and how easy it is to dock to my tv/computer monitor. It was easy to set up and feels great in my hands. The screen is a good size but isn’t as nice as say my tv or computer monitor. My only gripe is the cradle in which you dock your switch is made of hard plastic. I’m afraid it’s gonna scratch my screen if I’m not careful. All in all I would recommend this to anyone who wants to play some games on the go or wants to play Nintendo’s great games!

Bought this for my son and he really loves it. It holds charge well and love that he can also take it on the go.

The Nintendo Switch changes the game. Cool multiplayer possiblities, great portability and with a strong set of Franchise Games this will be great.

such a good size. beautiful quality. and you can get used to the controls really quickly! absolutely recommend

Awesome innovative console. While Playstation and xbox have been releasing very similar consoles with high specs every generation, Nintendo has actually worked on making a console with unique functionality. The ability to switch between home console and portable mode means you can take your big screen games on the go with you. The switch also allows for a big range of customization with various accessories not available to the other consoles.

Santa brought this for our 7 and 9 year old and they love it. Easy set up and easy to use. Plus games are kid friendly.

Very fun to play with friends and portable to go on the road
