Customer Ratings & Reviews

There is a good diversity of games for this console, compared to the previous Nintendo profile. I primarily bought it for the portability and it fits that bill quite well. Under the Pandemic circumstances though, the stand out is the Ring Fit, which I give 5 stars to just as a great use of this product's capabilities and a legit, fun, exercise game. I would like to see if there is something like the old Wii sports/games app available for the switch. The lite is probably a better option if portable is what you really want.

This is my second switch, I also own the original release. The only difference is this model get a slightly longer battery life. other than that everything else is the same as the original model. I love the neon color over the gray, adds a lot more pop.

The switch does fairly well as a hybrid gaming system, balancing battery life, portability, ease of use, of a handheld. But as a home console it is fairly lacking, 1080p max, only audio options are hdmi or 3.5mm jack, no apps, youtube, netflix, web browser. If you have a smart TV and really want the latest nintendo games, go for it in the future, as of now, few truly new, exclusive to the switch games, I mean games that are not ports, remasters, rereleases + dlc content, or are also on another system. What makes an exclusive is that 100% of its development is dedicated to one system. The end result is a smooth polished product

Purchased this for my young children. They were able to figure out how to use it quickly and easily. Love that is can be used as both a handheld on the go and also as a multiplayer system connected to the TV. So many different games available as well.

The second gen Switch with the longer battery life is an overall great system. The system itself is overpriced (like all Nintendo systems/games), but a great buy that my boys love playing. Being able to dock or undock the system while playing games is a great feature.

Great gaming product. I love the screen. The kids love this system. Easy to play and connect to wifi. The price of the gaming product is fair.

I bought this for my birthday and its been amazing.

What’s there to say that hasn’t already been said. It’s a great console. Got it for my husband when he went to AIT for the military… definitely kept him sane! Travels well and is overall great

This is my 2nd time buying one. The first time it was new, so I bought it, but I hardly played it. I preferred my gaming PC. I've since stopped gaming, but going through chemo, I thought it would help distract me. Too few games for me.

Well worth the wait. It is a great value as one of the lower costing systems. I love that it is portable or I can connect it to the base and play on my TV. I am still exploring different games but the standard Nintendo games are excellent as always!!

Great portable system. The only drawback is that it doesn't include any games. This is version 2 which has a longer battery life than the original system. I would suggest getting Nintendo online so you can play old school Nintendo games.

We enjoy the Switch at home, on the go, everywhere. The games that Nintendo offers are unique and fun compared to core gaming platforms that are dedicated for certain age groups. Glad we got this console, hours of entertainment, hard to put it down!

Got this as an early Christmas present for my teenage son. Many stores were out of these on Black Friday, but no problem to order online from Best Buy and just pick it up. But that's not why you're reading this review. The game is usable all by itself with the included screen or hooked up to a TV with an HDMI cable. There's virtually no difference in gameplay between the two modes, I was afraid the game's screen might have a little lag, but that wasn't the case. Battery life is pretty good, especially considering the graphics and things happening in the games. lAdmiditally, we got this unit early in its life, so there isn't a huge variety of games yet. But we're very happy with the selection that's out now and know more games are in the pipeline. The games on the Switch are a bit more tame than on an Xbox to PlayStation, so that makes this a good choice for younger kids. Of course, it's great for amyone who wants high-quality gaming on the go. All in all, very satisfied with the product and the buying experience at Best Buy.

Family friendly, easy to use, fun for everyone, lots of options, wether it be solo, or multiplayer! Everyone in at home has their own! So we can all match each other

I love this product. It is user friendly abd easy to play.

Awesome for playing games obvi , good quality and more only draw back is there isnt much storage but u can get over that quick if you buy a micro sd card!

This was so hard to snatch due to it being out of stock for so long but finally did. It's so much fun and easy to carry on trips or play at home on the TV. So many games available to play with multiple players making it a great gift for all ages!

Excellent choice, bought for great grands. They love them.

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.
