Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought this for our son. He really enjoys playing with it. Very easy to use. The thing that really makes it special is that you can transport it with you. Not only can he play it on the television but he can take it on a road trip. The other game consoles can't do that.

We finally were able to snag a Nintendo Switch console after searching for a few months now and we love it. The whole family plays on it and we love the portability option. It's great that there digital game options and ROM options, we have used our console every day.

Familiar with both handheld and home console gaming alike on various systems, (NES, Gameboy, 64, Gamecube, DS, Wii, and 3DS), the Nintendo Switch was an exciting purchase for me because of its hybrid functionality. When it comes to the Nintendo Switch, the developers at Nintendo did not disappoint. Their team designed a sleek console and created an exceptional hybrid gaming experience with solid titles like Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and others. Whether you are playing in the comfort of your living room on your TV, on a road trip, with a group of friends, or alone curled up in bed, the Switch's hybrid functionality makes it Nintendo's most innovative and flexible console to date, and it provides hours of entertainment for really any age. Regardless of how I choose to play a game, the design and flexibility of the Switch's Joy-Cons makes "switching" from different controller modes fun, and a super easy and intuitive experience. Pros: - EXCELLENT design of console and controllers - Console itself is very durable, docking it is straightforward and easy - Easy to switch from handheld, to Joy-Cons, to controller, etc. (satisfying, almost fun "click" sound when the controllers are attached in place), a sleek and intuitive experience. - Option of neon red/blue vs gray Joy-Cons (there are other color options as well, sold separately, or are available depending on what bundle you buy) - Graphics are excellent - Great sound - Both physical game cartridges and digital download options are available - Good storage space - Great game library - Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Yoshi's Crafted World, Super Mario Maker 2, Fortnite, etc. - Excellent overall user experience! Cons: - No backwards compatibility for older games on Wii or Wii U - Battery life could be a little better. For example, it's good for about 2.5-3 hours when playing Super Mario Odyssey in handheld mode. Overall, for the Nintendo Switch, I would say the positives far outweigh the negatives. In a nutshell, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this console! There's a great library of games on this system which all provide literally hours of fun for friends and family of really any age.

I have to say that I was very pleased with the Nintendo Switch. It's not the most powerful console, and the "controller" is not super comfortable to use (but it's not that bad). The fact that you can take the Switch on the go is interesting. I've not used it outside of the house, but I did take the Switch to my room when somebody else was using the tv. I've never been able to do that with any other major console. The inclusion of one controller is annoying. If you want to play with somebody else locally, another controller is needed and Nintendo charges a LOT for a controller.

For now, unless you want to play Zelda: Breath of the Wild right now (and it is an excellent game) you'll probably be ok waiting until Nintendo has more content out for the Switch. It's a fairly bare bones system at the moment, with just a few handfuls of games available in the online store. There aren't really even apps available yet, despite that the system reminds me a lot of a Galaxy note. That said, when Nintendo finally gets it into gear, I imagine it will be a really fun system to own. It switches (hah) from handheld mode to tv mode and back very smoothly, the touch screen is nice (get a screen protector!), and the joy cons are decent. A more seasoned gamer may want to get the pro controller. I've had mine since launch night and have had no problems.

bought it for my younger brother. he loves it the battery life is pretty good even after using it for couple of years

Nintendo has mad a device that is perfect for gaming on the go or in your living room. It is so easy to switch between handheld mode and docked mode (it's almost instantaneous). They have a bunch of great games already out and a lot more on the way so if you are on the fence, you need to do yourself a favor and go ahead and buy one.

So I’ve been playing Zelda and rocket league. All my friend and I have been play rocket league for a while and having this on the go is great when we play together or other friends houses. Total package system just needs YouTube and Netflix along with the other various apps in the streaming world so that it fills the full package

Great Purchase!! My wife and I would play Mario Kart & Mario Party whenever we went to visit her family so, after we moved out of state, we decided to finally get a Nintendo Switch of our own so we can play with them online. It's a lot of fun! We highly recommend it!

Wife wanted one for a long time, finally broke down and got her one for her birthday. Very fun

The switch is such an awesome console. Being able to bust it out anywhere and play great games on the go is a total game changer. Not to mention there are so many games for the platform, owning a switch now is the best time there's ever been. I love that you can play multiplayer on the go on a table top, or hook it up to a TV at a friend's house and let everyone join in. It's just so unbelievably versatile. Top that with the fact that Nintendo's proprietary games and characters are so well done for all ages and it's just hard to consider not owning a switch.

Great purchase my son and I play it everyday and when my nieces and daughter come over we all play is so much fun

The switch is utilized everyday in my home My wife will grab the switch and play old school retro games early in the day or late at night, then my son and daughter are playing together or separately for the majority of the day and I jump in when I can Fun for everyone

It works great I got the new version 2.0 with long lasting battery power and we have been going to family houses and she has been taking it with her and playing it has been working great just ordered a case for it though. And she keeps telling me mom look at the picture quality it so good.

Though I have a PS4, I have been mainly using my Switch for more casual, indie, and first party games more often than not. The convenience in being able to take this console anywhere is a game changer. Being able to take this console to a friend's place to play a bunch of multiplayer games with ease is one of my favorite features.

The Nintendo Switch is the perfect console for handheld and home use! Being able to play games like Zelda and Mario Odyssey on the go is amazing! The motion control joy-cons are perfect for when guests are over and I can turn on 1-2 Switch and Just Dance! Great third party support also like Doom and Skyrim! Gotta love Nintendo!

I haven’t stopped playing!! Very good system on the go

I’m a 46 yr old mom and was mad at myself at first for splurging to get this for myself , but I love it my daughter and I play ours together and it’s fun time together.

I haven't used a console in many years, being preferentially a PC gamer, but the flexible options for using this console either as a handheld or on my big screen TV makes it a very compelling option, and something that you can't really do with PC. Highly recommend if you prefer to game while on mass transit (or as a passenger).

I bought the Nintendo switch for added distraction from the news & politics on TV. It has far from served it's purpose. I find myself losing hours when I play. It's so much fun & not as aggravating to my carpal tunnel as the other game consoles. I highly recommend it.
