Customer Ratings & Reviews

This has been a blast for our pre-teen. He enjoys the multi-player options that exist with the small controllers, and how portable it is. The games he has he really enjoys and we've had to set limits on its use because he would play 24x7 if given the opportunity.

The Switch is a great little console/handheld hybrid. It works great on the go and connected to the TV. One concern is Nintendo being Nintendo as they tend to go against what Microsoft/Sony have established as gaming standards (online communities, achievements, etc). I also hope there is plenty of first party games coming down the road as Zelda is a true masterpiece and if other games follow that trend they have a bright future. But currently the games are really limited, so if you're not buying Zelda, I'm not really sure what you are going to play. The move to cartridges is also interesting as this will limit how powerful they can make games, but if Zelda is anything to measure on things look good. Also, beware the left Joy-Con bug. If you have anything between you and the Switch it can act weird when connected to the controller dock (even if your leg or something is in between). The Switch is a brilliant design and everything works well as far as various Joy-Con configurations (attached, detached, sideways, play on TV, attached to grip, etc). As a previous owner of the Wii and Wii U, I feel much better owning a Switch at first than I did with those consoles.

So the new Nintendo switch is out and well at this point in time its really not much to look at with a lack of variety of impressive launch titles I can't complain much there because all you need right now the legend of Zelda.... But a great multiplayer game should have been available too. Unfortunately there's also an annoying joy con issue that likes to randomly disconnect from the system. The is a fix our out now but that requires sending in the joycon. There's also the lack of virtual console and many other things that will eventually be available. Otherwise I'm really enjoying the new console and enjoy playing whether on the tv or handheld mode..... Coming soon Mario kart 8 deluxe!

Love the battery life. Not only that but it's really easy to navigate. The five year old I baby sit has no problem playing it whatsoever.

Bought this for my daughter after her older version died completely. She loves it and it worked perfectly.

This is my favorite console available right now. I love the matte texture of the console itself and the Joy-Con controllers. I do wish the Joy-Con had bigger buttons though and that the sticks had more travel to them. Battery life is pretty good. Mario is my favorite video game franchise and this system has a great selection of Mario games in various genres. I do feel that the system should be a little cheaper now that it has been on the market for 6 years and is using positively ancient tech. I definitely recommend it though!

Great gaming console. A lot of fun when on tv with all the kids.

Awesome system! It has great games and it is great to be able to bring it on the go. I primarily use the Switch docked, but it is great to be able to bring it along. The first party games are the best and it is continuously getting more and more third party support.

The Nintendo Switch has taken over as my son's favorite system. Our Xbox one rarely gets played anymore. Though the switch died connect to the TV, I find that my son and from what I hear, his friends, prefer to play handheld. Obviously it's also great for road trips. I was able to get it at a time when it was sold out everywhere but Best Buy was restocked and delivered it promptly! Weber had it a few months now, with no issues. The battery life is good and the gameplay is fantastic. My only concern is I didn't originally get a protection plan to do I used the chat to add it. While the customer service rep told me I am now covered, I have never received any confirmation on documentation for the protection play. Luckily, Best Buy's website emails the chat transcript, so I do have that as proof should any issues arise

I loved it and great to play with friends or on the go

So happy I ended up purchasing this! I love that you can play games or watch YouTube it’s a like a mini iPad! Love that you can set it up on the tv and play with multiple people

After using the switch for a few years, it really is a revolutionary console. The fact that you can quickly take it on the go is a game changer. I highly recommend getting one if you haven’t already!

I love this! I grew up playing nitendo and I enjoy playing games I haven’t in a while such as Mario!

My younger brother loved it, he always plays with it

8-bit NES was my first console - purchased w/ paper route money when I was 14. Over the years Nintendo has been hit or miss with me (and many others) when it's come to their "innovations", but so far the switch is a total hit. I *usually* get to game on the TV, but if someone else in the house wants to watch something, I can take it out of the cradle and play elsewhere. The built-in screen is large enough that even my middle-aged, computer-squinter eyes can make everything out fine. Usually, Nintendo's game selection on a new console is *terrible* for at least the first year, but I was pleased to find several games I looked forward to playing were available at or soon after launch. (Must. Resist. Buying. Skyrim. *AGAIN*.) The only negative thing I could really say is with regard the construction of the console itself - the kickstand feels like it could snap off pretty easily (which is extra scary, since it doubles as the memory expansion slot cover!), but aside from that I've got zero complaints.

Bought this as a gift for my son and he absolutely enjoys it! Package arrived earlier than expexted too !

Great fun for the whole family! It's great how you can either just play with the switch as a handheld screen device or you can hook it up to the tv! The controllers are a little on the small side put you eventually get use to it.

Great product! It is portable and can be docked and plugged into the television. It looks like there are more games coming out for it too. I wasn't sure that would happen and why I waited to buy this. Highly recommend this gaming console.

Use it all the time such a solid unit. I love the gta remastered

Finally got this for our son. When absolutely loves it. He can connect it to his TV or take it on the go. Now long car rides are more enjoyable for him. Lots of games to choose from and we just download them right onto his switch.
