Customer Ratings & Reviews

Decided to finally buy a switch after a long debate about what I would actually play on it. And I have to say I’ve spent far more time playing it than I thought I actually would, between the switch games them self and the virtual console for NES and SNES titles included with the online subscription. Took this on a cross country plane trip and was pleased the battery lasted the entire time I was in the air, this was by far one of my favorite purchases of 2019. Pros: Ease of use Mobility Accessibility to virtual console offline Inexpensive online membership compared to others Cons: Can become uncomfortable holding the entire unit for long play sessions

This Nintendo Switch is great. My friend's son loved this for his birthday present for his fifth birthday. Very convenient.

Nintendo almost nailed it out of the park with their newest game system by playing video games on the go or on your big screen tv with the Switch. But as with their previous console, WiiU, they still have a little ways to go before they perfect this hybrid game machine. I love the screen size on the Switch, the enhanced battery life of the newest model, the versatility of controller options but not a fan of the directional pad/analog stick on the Joy-Cons, imperfections of Joy-Cons when snapped on the Switch (my left Joy-Con wiggles when attached), Joy-Con replacements are $80 which is ridiculous and some gamers are experiencing the notorious Joy-Con drift where the controller doesn’t register input..so I’m basically not really liking the Joy-Con controllers. Also the home screen is functional but really basic and cumbersome. Where the Switch really shines though is getting the home console gaming experience and having the option of going portable with a comparable experience. The Switch portable screen is 720p and when docked, the Switch can output 1080p on your tv. The Switch graphics are adequate and comparable to the Xbox 360/PS3 era so yeah, they’re a tad outdated. But with Nintendo, they have never been a game company pushing the limits when it comes to visuals. They rely on hardware innovations and with their latest game console, they have almost perfected their newest creation!

My family loves this system and its great as a stress reliever.

My son loves it. I cant be more happier. It has some free games as well.

Great product just what i was looking for. I should have got one sooner

I had an original Nintendo from 1989 and I hadn't played it for like 20 years. When they brought it back into the light I was like I had one of those. I had been eyeballing consoles just to see what was out there and I do remember playing on the Wii when it came out cuz my niece had it, but still never bought it. PS2 and other consuls also never grabbed my attention; obviously a Nintendo baby at heart. Then I saw a commercial for this Switch and I was like I am doing it, I deserve it and I was super grabbed by the portability and just thinking about playing Mario again...lol I am so glad I waited for the switch. Gamers here I come!!

Excellent “toy” for a boy o girl. Our son is very thankful to Santa.))

Wonderful gift for my grandson he loves it can’t put it down

The Nintendo Switch has really been a great console for my needs. When it was originally announced I was worried that it would have the same problems as the Wii U. I was proven wrong, it has a great selection of games including third party and retro style games. The battery life on this new model is much improved and this is my go to device for travel. I have taken it to Japan and if you have a battery pack it will last for the flight. For parents, there is a large selection of child friendly games and of course there is Mario and Link. This is a great buy and you will be happy with your purchase.

I love this item and I recommend anyone who’s looking into this item to buy it.

My son and I love this switch. Always playing connecting with TV when we are at home. Advantage is portability. Would recommend to anyone!

My kid loves this switch. It has access to the 80's old school games as well as all the latest. He can take it with him around the house too. Its a win win.

Great quality, value, and easy to use. Multiplayer options and portability are also perks. Variety of great games available for purchase as well. Definitely recommend.

My son loves the Game system. He plays it all the time.

Amazing console overall! Games- 5/5 System tech- 5/5 Easy to use- 5/5 Mobility- 5/5 Price 5/5 Family games 100/5 Honestly just buy it. End of story!

Works great, my nefews love it, they can play all the original games that i played when i was a kid, love to see their expressions when they compare the graphics, i dont really know to much about the storage or how to rate it but it deffinatly gets the job done, and the controlers work great, easy to use

The Nintendo Switch is a great system and I feel another classic, as much a the original in the 80's. The fact that its both a portable system and also has a base to use on your home TV is perfect! I loved this fact, as it can go on the road, while having the huge screen at home. Kids can take it to their friends and also can have multiple players at once, so they can all enjoy together, depending on the game and an extra attachment. I'm really happy also to see the vast amount of games for different age levels and the crisp graphics and sharp screen. Worth the money spent, and you won't regret it!

Great product, I like the portability so I don’t have to bring my Xbox when traveling anymore

I managed to snag this one by camping on the website all day and night and following online alerts to tell me when the Switches were being restocked. It was a major hassle, but I'm glad I went through it because the Switch is worth it. The console itself has such a small footprint compared to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X looking to be such massive bricks that look more at home at a computer desk than an entertainment center, it's relieving to still have a system that doesn't get in the way of anybody's preferred gaming setup. The systems UI itself is very nice and clean too, it's very easy to navigate and get to where you want to go to once you put in a few minutes to get the hang of it. Once again it contrasts with the other two major consoles that throw so much more information at you at once, it can feel a bit cluttered by comparison. The game library is outstanding too. I already own six games and still there are more I'm interested in buying too. Some of them are just releases and updates of Wii U games, so if you already had that you may not have as many games to play, but if you're like the majority and never bought that you'll benefit from all the games you missed the first time around. Plus, having all of Nintendo focused on the Switch instead of being divided between a handheld and console means there will be plenty of first party support to come. There are three downsides that I should mention. The first being that because it's Nintendo, you better be prepared to pay $60 for most of your games. The games on other consoles generally drop to $20 or $30 only a few months after they first launch, but Nintendo almost never lets their games drop in price. You'll have to keep an eye out for major sales if you want to save some money on these titles. The second downside is that the joy cons that come with the system just don't cut it for playing most games. They're designed to work with the Switch in handheld mode, but I feel they're inadequate for long gaming sessions. You'll need to buy a Switch Pro Controller if you plan on mostly playing the Switch docked. Finally, the on system memory is insufficient if you want to store a lot of games digitally. You'll have to buy a microSD card if you don't want to constantly delete and re-download games. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to people who like Nintendo games. Just be aware of the hidden costs that come with owning one.
