Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love it, great product. Have been able to play lots of my favorite games with no issues.

I love it it works great I love being able to play it any wheee

Excellent product, excellent quality and great design. I have been using it for 2 months without any problems.

What can i say, it works well. The battery has improved and so has my traveling / working days using mass transit. The best way to play is portable play!

Bought this to have at my house for my Granddaughters to use when they come. We wrapped it as a present for them to open then explained our intent. They and their mother have been using it all day and we only bought one game for it. Big hit!

The switch is a nice return to form from Nintendo . The Wii was their last console that gave them a great deal of success but they seem to have learned from some missteps from the Wii U and come back with a great console here. Before getting into my review I'll just mention that Nintendo does their own thing as compared to Sony and Microsoft. So maybe want to think about what you are looking for in a console and seeing if the switch ticks those boxes before spending. I'll start with the actual hardware. The console itself feels well made. It doesn't feel like cheap plastic. The screen is a very nice quality with nice colors, sharpness and brightness. Since the screen is 6 inches it can almost feel like you're playing games on a smaller portable tv than a typical portable console. The joy-cons have a nice feel to them. They don't feel fragile while in hand. I pretty much only use them connected to the switch. I haven't even tried using them in the grip holder. While detached from the screen they are rather small for my hands. The grips help add some size to them but it does not totally mitigate the small feel. I am a six foot tall guy with larger hands though so this is my experience. The dock is well a dock. I have heard that some people have experienced screen scratching with their docks but I have not. I don't use a screen protector on my switch either. I wish there was a power button on the dock itself but its not that big of a deal. There seems to be an issue with some TVs and HDMI switchers where the switch will have some HDMI activity while sleeping that can cause you're tv to switch inputs or give you a message that something has been connected. I use as a receiver so haven't experienced this thankfully. Samsung appears to be releasing a firmware update for some of their TVs which will fix this issue but it may be on the Switch side so don't know if Nintendo will eventually do something about it. I have my dock in a TV stand so personally I wish they have placed a USB port on the front to charge my pro controller but other than that the dock is fine. Software wise the Switch is pretty basic. It doesn't have Apps yet so if that is important to you may want to wait. Nintendo has said they will have stuff like Netflix in the future but who knows when. I buy physical copies of games so can't really speak much about the e-shop, it looks like it gets the job done but I don't use it so don't take my word for it. Downloads seem to be quick. Updates for the console and games are pretty speedy. I am using 5ghz AC wireless though. I have heard people say the 2.4ghz connection can have issues. Battery life is pretty decent when you consider you're getting a home console experience on the go. You can play Zelda for 2 - 2.5 hours on the go with brightness around half. This has been my experience with my usage. Sleep mode seems to be quite good. I have had it off the dock for a couple of days and battery doesn't move so I wouldn't worry about not having it docked and charging all the time. Game wise, it's a console launch so it's not packed but Zelda and Mario Kart are stellar. I have played 1,2 switch and Snipper Clips at a friend's home and they were fun for playing with a couple of people. Launching with a new Zelda, an upgraded Mario Kart port and a new Mario in the first year is good sign to me. Hopefully they keep the releases well paced out. Being able to take the switch out of the dock and play on the go is actually pretty cool. Even if you're home you can pop it out and lay on a couch game. I thought I would pretty much have it docked all the time but find myself playing portably a decent amount. I take it to work and play when I have some down time which is pretty great. Overall I like what I see here from Nintendo. The console doesn't feel cheap. They have a decent lineup in year one, hopefully they can keep this going.

Buying this was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made. So diverse, can be played as a handheld unit, with other consoles as well as on the tv. Definitely recommend. Also love that you can download games online instead of having to go in store to buy it

Looked around and couldn’t find better price. Nice option to get with Best Buy credit card. Luckily was in stock at the store. Works as expected.

I bought my nephew this nintendo switch for his birthday and he cannot get enough of it.

We love it! i like that we can carry it with us and play anywhere. It is light and not too bulgy. Apps can be downloaded. My daughter watches YouTube on it in addition to playing. You can easily hook it up to the tv and play with the family.

Overall great quality and great experience playing all my favorite video games Nintendo keeps doing great work for us

Love it! Love the old games i have access to and the new games I’ve been testing out. Works great and have had no issues!!

Portable and works on TV...what more can you ask for. Nintendo did a great job with the Switch. Games are terrific as well. You play portable for hours then dock it (as it charges) and play on TV, so technically you have endless hours of play time. I love this console, best gaming purchase I've ever made.

They finally came back in stock! A bit confusing to set up as is most Nintendo merchandise, once you get used to it is fun! The controllers are a bit small, they also are not very comfortable. Will be buying the bigger controller separately for sure.

Our son absolutely loved his Christmas gift! They have no issues with it at all!! The fact that we were able to order and pick it up on the same day was a bonus!!

What can I say? Nintendo does it again and leaves me absolutely stunned and has allowed me to have fun again. With console graphics on the go, it follows me almost everywhere I go. Going all digital and just more than happy with the product.

I'm pretty impressed with the screen quality for how portable it is, battery life seems good. I do notice some lag but that's to be expected

This was a gift for my child. Item delivered was the exact item rcvd and was fully operational when rcvd. I have no complaints with this game console as it met my objective of putting a smile on my child’s face and a warm spot in my heart.

Nintendo has never been able to keep up with the modern consoles. However, the fun factor of the Switch makes it stand out among the rest. The games are incredibly fun to play. The controllers take a bit to get comfortable, but there are many ways to customize.

Nintendo did it again. My whome family loves the nintendo consoles and games, and the switch is no exception! Easy to set up and lots of fun to play. We love that there are games that you can play with 4 players on the same screen. Fun for everyone at the same time!
