Customer Ratings & Reviews

We love it! It is fun for the whole family. Easy to set up and there are fun old school games you can purchase to play.

This was sold out everywhere, except at Bestbuy. You can always rely and best Bestbuy and Nintendo to always deliver.

It’s a all in one situation....I love how you can download and connect the Nintendo website right from the game system

The Nintendo Switch offers a great flexible gaming experience (playable as a console or as a portable device). The selection of games keeps on growing with choices for the whole family. Purchasing extra docks allows the user to dock the Nintendo Switch from one television set to the next. It’s fun for the whole family and definitely recommend it.

A gamers dream of making a game console convenient. You can play at home or on the go without delay. Smart idea! Nintendos ahead of the game.

Bought it for my 10 yr old nephew! He loves it. Easy to use. Love that it is portable and can also hook it up to the tv

Always been a Nintendo fan, and this console has been the number one for me. Love the portability to be able to play on tv and anywhere else.

The kids like to play with it all day and all night

This thing is perfect for playing on the TV and on the go. It's great to take over to a friend's place either with the dock or just the tablet and play some multiplayer games with the oddly comfortable joy-cons. As small as they are they have never felt too small or cramped in my hands but my hands are average. Perhaps large-handed individuals might not enjoy the size

My nephews really enjoy playing with this Nintendo switch. It is so easy for young children to play with. We love it

Came in handy with the Quarantine going on. Love the fact it can be hook up to my TV and also hand held on the go.

Great concept of portable and stationary gaming. Gift for 8 year old, but enjoyed by many ages especially at parties.

I love this console. If you’re reading the reviews then you already know that this is a great machine.

My little brother loves it. We have even offer him to get a PlayStation or Xbox and he says no to them

I so happy to have a switch once again it’s been a while since I’ve had one. So yeah I’ll enjoy this and then some.

Love this system. Great control and action. Impressed by the alternate functions between the console and use with tv.

Like it can be on TV or handheld. Easy set up. Can download games straight to console or buy physical games.

love the Switch cant wait to get more games to play

A well-thought-out, well-planned, perfectly executed game system from one of the great names in the industry. Initial sales road the back of Zelda, but the quality of the game system itself is what keeps people coming back for more. I was lucky enough to grab one of these on the release weekend (at Best Buy) when it first came out and then I bought two more for family members for Christmas and we are all in love! There are millions of reviews on the game system, controllers, dock vs handheld, etc., so I won't go into detail about pros and cons there. Instead, I will concentrate on whether or not you're making a good investment. The system itself is solid, doesn't feel heavy in your hands, but you can tell it's made from quality material. I'm not saying you can drop it on the kitchen floor and expect it not to scratch and ding (or perhaps break), but it can take a little punishment. Also, Best Buy sells screen protectors for the not-so-careful gamer. The quickly growing catalog of games offered range from cheaper casual entries (ala Google Play or the Apple Store) to very good quality indie titles (try the $20 "Fe" if you want a pleasant surprise), to ports of older games from other systems, to flagship offerings (like Zelda and Mario Oddysey). They release a new batch of games in the online shop (accessible from the Switch) every Thursday. It's always a mix of ports, indies, something old, something new. There are always games for every age range and budget. Depending on the game, some will be download only, while other big-name titles can be download or purchased in "cartridge" version. My one complaint, the cartridges are small!! Buy an organizer travel case or watch your kids like a hawk or they will end up missing before you know it. To help avoid the dog picking them up and chewing on them (or your child), the carts are coated with a bitter-tasting coating. I haven't tried licking one of my games yet, but I understand it's bitter enough to deter swallowing and/or destruction. I'll take their word for it. Also on the topic of games, the articles that I've read indicate big game companies are surprised at how the switch has caught on and they are now dedicating teams to developing Switch games. There are big title release names coming up for 2018 and beyond, so don't expect the party to end anytime soon. As with all game systems, there are some duds in the lineup, but there are plenty of websites that provide reviews to help you make an informed buying decision. If you want to monitor purchases of games, you have two options. First, you can password protect the eShop, which would force them to come to you for new game purchases. Second, you can fill up your eShop account from a debit or checking account. Game purchases are made from the eShop balance available. Nintendo provided access to the same Mii functionality that's been available since the Wii. Allowing you to build an avatar, send and accept friend requests, play games online, play games in party mode (get four kids together with their Switches and watch them play Super Mario Kart, it's fun to watch). Long story short, the Switch surprised everyone (except Nintendo) and the momentum is still building. Do not hesitate to buy this for the gamer in your life. It seems like it's going to be around for quite a few years and will end up as one of those systems that changed the industry. The solid system provides PLENTY of options to keepyour gamer happy. If I could turn this review up to 11, I would. Oh, worth noting, I'm going to be 50 in August and I love (LOVE) my Switch. It will touch any and all age ranges the same way (my mom, who is in her 70's loves it, too).

The Nintendo Switch is a very well built, versatile system that, In my opinion, is worth its price tag.
