Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch offers a great variety of games for such a new console, including some instant classics from Nintendo (Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2) and other developers (Rabbids Kingdom, Sonic Mania), and I look forward to playing Bethesda titles like Skyrim, Doom, and the new Wolfenstein 2 soon enough. While the console offers a pure gaming system (as Nintendo handhelds have always done), there is word that other multimedia capabilities are on their way (the likes of Netflix etc). The unit itself is a beautiful achievement in design. It's unusually lightweight for something that packs so much punch (great for extended play sessions), and the controllers (although small) are sturdy and offer a wide array of inputs to help control 3D and innovative games. One gripe I had is that you can't plug the unit into the stand to charge and play games off the screen, it has the screen blocked and must be connected to an HDMI display- you can charge and play, but you need to have the unit in handheld mode. Another gripe is that the only way to charge the controllers is by having them connected to the console. Each of these issues are easily fixed by purchasing accessories to help, and do not really affect the enjoyment of the Switch at all. 32GB of space already in the machine made it easy for me to purchase a game straight out of the box, ready to play. Expandable with micro SD cards means that adding more games is relatively cost-effective (much cheaper than Vita's proprietary memory cards, or having to buy new hard drives for other home consoles). Overall, the Switch is an excellent gaming machine for all kinds of gamers across a wide range of ages, and with Nintendo's best ever support for indie titles, there is a bright future ahead for the console and its owners.

I got this to play games while I was not at home. The build quality is great and the vast selection of games available for the console is great! Only issue is that in portable mode the console is a litfle thin and I have big hands so, they would cramp up after I little while using it. (Had to try all sorts of ways of holding it before it became comfortable. Other than that its great!

Got it for my husband as Christmas present he hasn’t put it down. The graphics we both agree are impeccable. We both had nintendo 64s as kids and its be a blast feeling like we’re playing that again. Mario kart is a must for multiplayers and individual he’s loved all the Pokémon games. The packaging makes it even more of a “well worth the money spent” experience as well.

I bought this to entertain myself during quarantine. I love it! The ability to switch between TV to handheld is something that I never knew I needed in a gaming console. It helps avoid eyestrain. The battery life is amazing too. I heard about the joy-con drifting and so far haven't experienced any issues regarding this. The joy-cons have also been surprisingly resilient against scratches.

I got this to play party games and its perfect. The best thing about it is the size. Decent memory/storage but it definitely gets the job done.

Bought for son, then bought Zelda for myself and that sold it for me...the ability to take the game everywhere on the tablet or play on the big screen is genius. Wanna play two player ? Just push a button on the back of the controller to unlock it from the game pad and each player gets a half ! Only complaint and it’s super minor is the 2 hour battery life if you’re playing on the tablet so long car rides will require a separate charger for the car but that’s it

I always wait a year or 2 for new consoles to allow a healthy selection of games. The advantage to Nintendo is there are exclusives that are high quality. This is not my only console, but I get and enjoy every Nintendo console (including Wii U) and the entire family and all my friends enjoy. Surprisingly I find myself split 50/50 on the docked and handheld mode. It's a more useful feature than I anticipated.

It took me 5 months to find one and it was WORTH THE SEARCH!!! Every game looks amazing and plays great. Highly recommend any Super Mario game on this console. It’s probably the most innovative piece of technology I’ve ever owned even compared to my PS5 simply because it’s a console, a hand held, and the remote can be split into to two to play local multiplayer. Amazing!!!

Great Console to everyone in home. Love Nintendo exclusive games. Long lasting battery.

I’ve had every Nintendo system since NES (except N64) and think that they got this one right. I like that you can grab it and play on the go or get additional docks and play on different TVs. Not as powerful as other systems and the ability to talk to others while remote gaming could be improved. But titles like Zelda BotW are good enough to overlook its few weaknesses.

I've always loved Nintendo products, but they've really outdone themselves with the Switch. The hybrid nature of the console makes it conducive to both long sessions on the couch, but also short bursts of play on the go. While admittedly the line up of games at launch was pretty sparse, the Switch library is quickly expanding, including many games that are strong contenders for GOTY. I would definitely recommend the Switch to just about anyone who loves gaming.

Great tool for entertaining the whole family. Love to play some video games with my daughters.

Bought this from my daughter. Feedback from her as well as me playing with it. Great handheld but controllers too small for in tv gaming, unless you buy another controller and the holder for it. Needs more tv app as it only supports hulu. Updates hopefully will correct that.

I bought this for my grandson, he's one happy child! The price was much more reasonable than most other vendors. I was having difficulty finding the item in stock at a reasonable price. The Best Buy employee I spoke to over the phone was very helpful. They suggested I check the online store frequently, which I did and was fortunate to catch the item in stock within a few days.

Great and easy console to play and share time with family or alone. I really like the size, but the controllers are too little to play by itself. If you buy this product to play with a second person you will definitely need an additional set of joy-con with the joy-con grip.

Kids love it. Recommend getting a case and a screen protector to go with it.

Arrived in good conditions and my kids are loving it

easy to use for all ages. Batteries hold all day before recharge is necessary.

The Nintendo Switch is a great way to play games on the go, away from home, or even play with others at home.

We bought this Nintendo switch because my son had to have it. He was telling me that it can be used as a portable gaming system and also you can plug it in for multiplayer use. It is awesome! We can play it with quite a bit of players and if we are on a trip my son has something else other than his IPad to play on. This is my favorite gaming console I have ever bought for him.
