Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best and most easiest console to ever use highly recommend to anyone

Who needs another rave review of the Switch? I've owned every major video game system and many minor ones since the early 90's, this one is solidly ahead of the pack but from strictly a hardware standpoint, I wouldn't put it on top. It does everything it promises to, but it's the least excited I've been for a console since well, I bought a WiiU. While I'm glad Nintendo made something that indie developers are able to port their games to, at this point I know I'm only ever buying a Nintendo console to play a handful of first party games. That experience so far, has been phenomenal, and recommending Zelda and Mario isn't necessary, that is why you're getting a Switch in mid-2018. But I can't help but feel like for $300 this is hard to recommend over a cheaper Xbox One S if I only had to have one system. It gets even harder to stomach when you factor in the $70+ controllers and the $60 Nintendo games that almost never go on sale. I suppose it depends on who you are, where you are in life and what you want out of a gaming console, but the Switch feels like a compromise as a portable system and as a home console. The system itself just doesn't have the same build quality that I would expect from Nintendo hardware, it reminds me of a cheap Android tablet. The Wii and WiiU felt like they were made with nicer build materials, the matte plastic all over this bad boy and the dock are just kind of stale. This is an easy 5 star at $200 which it will inevitably get to, but this version of the console feels like the original fat DS to me and I'm looking forward to the DS Lite equivalent for the Switch.

Purchased this as an option for my kids. I am the one who has been using it the most. Working great. Having the option to play on your TV set or on the go is just great

So much fun! Got husband this for Christmas and it is a blast. We did not stop playing it all Christmas day and the pickup at Best buy was fast and easy.

The Nintendo Switch is very simple and fun device. Great as a console and even better on the go. I can play it for hours and still be thoroughly entertained

My son loves his switch, he carries it everywhere with him.

Brand speaks for itself. Haven't purchased a console new since the GameCube came out. Quite pleased with the Switch. Options for popular and indie games are a-plenty.

Bought for my kid and she just loves it loves that she can play handheld or on tv

The Nintendo Switch is one of the most entertaining gaming consoles I have ever played. It's very versatile, and it's perfectly powerful for the price. I only wish there were more big titles at launch.

Was able to buy this during quarantine! It took me a few days to get it when it’s in stock because it’s bery competitive. However, I’ve been playing nonstop!

This came and worked Great grandkids love it they play it constantly

Really like the switch for graphics and games. Not super ergonomic and the device gets heavy to hold after awhile. It plugs into the tv. Also uses standard USB C charger (so works with laptop charger as well). Long battery life. Need to get online plan to use all the features. We've had trouble with the Joy-cons, but Nintendo's warranty covered it.

Nintendo has done it again, creating an innovative game console that the family can spend hours in entertainment. My kids love he portability and amazing graphics. It’s worth the hype and investment.

This switch was a replacement switch for one that were bought in July. The original one did not even make it 4 months, and we hardly used it during those four months (maybe less than 15 times). It was obviously a manufacturer's issue. Because we bought the warranty, they were able to replace it with a brand new one, BUT I had to purchase a new service warranty gwith the new switch. You would think that Nintendo would stand behind their product and replace the original even if I didn't have the warrenty. I'm hoping this replacement does not have the same issue bc we bought a game that my son loves, and he had been playing with the switch EVERY DAY. It's heady that it's portable and that you can play with more than one person even in its portable move. Now that the kids are using it, I would have to say that this was a good investment

This thing has been tons of fun the past several months of ownership (got it in May 2020 - revewing in Dec 2020). The only warning i'll give is - beware, it's EASY to go well beyond the $300 base price buying accessories and such. So plan out what extras you think you'll need (extra dock, pro controller, extra joycons, carrying case, online membership, etc). Still a good value overall. Also of note, in the 6+ months of ownership, i haven't had any joycon drifting issues. BUt i also don't use the joycons/handheld mode that often - mostly pro controller in docked mode.

I actually bought this for myself after my ex bought one for my son. I primarily play Animal Crossings but it is super easy to use and haven’t had any issues.

Bought for son great purchase.....................

Best console for Kids! My nephews love it! That’s a nice gift for all kids

Nintendo is an expert in creating fun, think outside the box games. the system is perfect to entertain one person or several. Best buy delivered as promised.

My two sons love their new Nintendo Switch! So happy that I decided on getting this for them. Took my youngest (2, going on 3) with me to our local Best Buy to pick it up. He was so stoked and insisted on going with me. ;) While I was in the store I also purchased Mario+Rabbids Kingdom Battle, the Mario+Rabbids Mario figurine (has to be shipped to the store because it was sold out) and a Mario+Rabbits hat (came free with the game/figurine bundle). I highly recommend buying this specific Nintendo Switch console since it comes with an awesome looking controller.
