Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a great gift at a great price and Best Buy's inventory is always new! This hasn't been opened because it is a Christmas gift for my 12-year-old grandson. Will check back at that time, but this is the only thing he asked for. It's certain to be a hit!

Use is relatively intuitive, controls take some getting used to but they're not bad at all. I love the portability. The game collection isn't the best out there, but it's getting better and has a lot of legitimate can't-miss titles. Worth the buy!

This system is great for people of any age group. There are so many different types of games available. The system is made to be stationary or mobile, so you have the option to leave it connected to the TV or to use as a handheld device on the go. You can have multiplayer by using the controllers (2 included) and show the display on a TV or the device's screen. Overall the system gives you lots of options for set-up and playability. I absolutely love it.

Primarily a PC user, the switch became a system I fell in love with at a friends place. The games Ive played are all really well designed, they all run very well, look amazing for how portable the system is, and mostly all run really smooth regardless of exporting the video to a TV or playing handheld. Some games will benefit you getting a different style controller - for instance for Monster Hunter Rise you likely will have a much easier and comfortable time with even a $25 dollar budget Non-JoyCon controller.

Really impressed with the device. Easy to hook up to television for standard console gaming on HDTV. Just as easily I can grab the Switch and take it on a work trip or a trip back home to visit family. Super Awesome. If there is a complaint, its the battery life on the go, just bring a charger!

Awesome portable console with hdmi. Took it camping to hook up to a projector and everyone had a blast with Mario party

Great gift for my grandson’s to take time out from studying. Numerous games that even my wife and daughter like to play from time to time. Awesome purchase!

I got this Nintendo Switch for Christmas. It works well and is very fun to play. I would recommend

Nothing I’m going to say that everyone hasn’t heard, the switch is a great little console and has a great library of games now.

So much fun! We bought this for our daughter for her birthday.

Loads of fun, easy to set up. Will be playing this for years to come

The Switch is a great console. One of Nintendo's best consoles in a while. Nice to finally get further removed from the old motion detection controls that the Wii introduced and returning to more traditional controller layouts. The size, shape and abilities of the Switch are all very good. I really like that Nintendo makes their consoles to be just a console and focus on only games. I'd appreciate a Netflix app, but I'll take this instead of diluting what this hardware is. Love the simple, easy menus. The controls feel pretty good. The Joy Con controllers are just fine. The Switch screen is great. Just the right size I'd say. It's smooth, clear and feels perfect for a gaming experience. It feels great when holding it. I ended up playing it more so as a handheld, since my TV is small and it's easier to see finer details and text up close. The Switch will give you the ability to do 2 player with the two Joy Cons, such as playing Mario Kart 8, but people will probably find the tiny size of the Joy Cons awkward or uncomfortable when first introduced to them. Perhaps these were built for small children in mind, since their hands are smaller than adults. But still, no additional purchase of a second controller is necessary in order for two people to play together. Most other consoles today don't provide you with that. The docking station is good. Works really well. Switches between handheld and docked states very quickly and easily. The Switch appeared to keep battery well, though I rarely played a session long enough to really tell how long it could last. Make sure you cover the screen with a protector before docking!! There is an online, Nintendo store on the console, where you can download demos, see latest news on upcoming games or recent/popular games as well as buy a digital copy of a game to download, if you don't prefer physical copies of games. If for some reason, you remove that digital game from your console, you can always go back and re-download it, as that purchase is tied to your Nintendo account. The only thing that I felt was not as advertised was the ease of removing the Joy Con controllers off the Switch, while the Switch was in its docking station. In the trailers for the Switch it looks smooth and easy, in reality, you have to hold down the "release" buttons and pull them out, one at a time, while holding the Switch to make sure it didn't get pulled out of it's docking station. But that's a minor flaw. That's only if you need to remove them, which I didn't do often as, again, I used it mostly in it's handheld form. In conclusion, I had a pretty good time using the Nintendo Switch. I think they did such a great job designing and implementing this new console. I imagine this console is going to be around for a while.

Very fun ! I bought it for my mom on mother’s day and she loves it !

Bought this for my nephew. He loves it and it has been working great for him.

My 12 year old son is having a blast with this Nintendo system. I really enjoy playing with him. It’s super fun, easy to setup and the portable feature is awesome. We played Mario Kart at a restaurant waiting for our food and was surprised how great it worked even without the TV. We love it!

this was well worth the purchase. the whole family enjoys being able to detach the joycons and play together.

I stopped console gaming in the mid-2000's and stopped PC gaming in the late 2000's. Mainly a casual mobile/phone gamer up until now. The Switch and its unique hybrid set-top and handheld format is perfect for someone like me who doesn't have much time to sit in front of a television at home.

Great system for a great value. Much more kid friendly games for beginning gamers learning the basics of controllers.

Wonderful! I sold my old one, but it was time to purchase another one. My grandkids love playing it while we're on vacation together - on the big screen!

Ordered this to keep my son busy during spring break. Game works fine. He loves it! It just took longer then the associate said it would to deliver to my house. Next time I will just go to the next store and see if they have it before ordering.
