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!

Love the longer batter life. This was switch 3in my home and I had an older model and the batter sucked. This once is easily 2x batter life. Great for when we are not home. The older one works fine when I plan to just play on the tv only

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!

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!

Love it! Love the old games i have access to and the new games I’ve been testing out. Works great and have had no issues!!

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 game. No lag times. Easy to operate back age group of 8yr up. Gift for my great nephew. He was able to set up himself and had it working in less than 15min

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.

Fire! I was skeptical about purchasing this since I'm a die hard Xbox fan but I figured I'd give this handheld a chance. I actually purchased for my son for Christmas but after playing around with it I decided to keep it for myself.

Great game console for playing with friends and bringing on the go anywhere

I honestly loved this product, great for any kind of gaming console type I see why they call it a switch, definitely recommend especially with the right games

Overall great quality and great experience playing all my favorite video games Nintendo keeps doing great work for us

Excellent product, excellent quality and great design. I have been using it for 2 months without any problems.

The Nintendo Switch is a super device -- I really love it and I have yet to connect it to my TV! I am so far only using it as a handheld and the performance can't be beat. I know that once I DO plug it into my TV, I'll love that as well -- but for now, I can't get enough "gaming on the go!"

The Nintendo switch is an amazing console. I thought the whole mobile aspect was going to just be an added feature that I would never utilize, I was dead wrong. I play more as a mobile than a console. The graphics are beautiful and the details within Zelda: Breath of the wild are stunning.

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.

I absolutely love this console, it’s so easy to play. Picture quality is so clear!

Great product. My son loves this and we were able to easily add more controllers. Great battery life and the image is clear.

An awesome hand held video console. Nintendo has always produced great products and best buy for me has always been the place to buy them!

I bought my switch about 2 weeks ago with my dad and sister and we all love it! I don't think the switch has gotten a break since we brought it home. I really love the controllers and the fact that there are no batteries needed and they charge really quickly!
