Customer Ratings & Reviews

Waited so long for this purchase as a gift. Great for single or multiplayer games. Games can be a little costly (similar to buying for any other console).

Haven't bought a Nintendo product since the Wii u let me down. But this one is way better and portable too. Also bought some switch lights and kids couldn't be happier!!

Love love love it’s better battery is very evident. Play time in hand held mode is much longer. Very excited got the colored joycons this time. Perfect for the entire family

loving my new Nintendo Switch! Thank you Best Buy!

My 6 year old son loves it! He picked it up pretty fast and is constantly on it.

This is a great console for kids. My son loves that it can take it on the road. So many games available and he can connect to the internet and play with his friends too

The children love this game. No issues with any part of it

Waited my whole life for Nintendo to merge their console and handheld together, and it finally happened. It's portable yet powerful, has great build quality, and just feels nice to play. Best hardware since the Gamecube and I think the Switch surpasses it. Joycons are a joy and playing with two fully separated controller halves make it effortless to lounge around in weird yet comfy positions on the couch. The software has its ups and downs. It's a breath of fresh air to be able to just turn it on and literally be able to start playing within 5 seconds. The way the games are put in the background when the console goes to sleep is great too, you can just pause in the middle of a game and come right back to that moment within seconds. The UI is intuitive and simple in a good way. A couple downsides are mainly related to the software which is constantly improving, but has quite a way to go. As of 3/18/18 the online experience is very lacking (although FREE). This is supposed to change this year when the paid online option launches. There is also no virtual console like the Wii had, so you are only able to play games that are made for the Switch - no way to play the classics you bought on the Wii like Super Mario World. It would be amazing to have access to a library like the virtual console would provide - all on the go. No plans yet but there is hope for the future! Finally, the biggest problem I have is a lack of cloud saves. Everyone else can do them, why can't Nintendo? I'm paranoid about my Zelda and Mario saves because I've put so many hours into them and honestly would be heartbroken if my console died. Overall the downsides aren't even enough to take away a star, I'm having way too much fun with this thing.

Great for road trips and playing around the house on cool days

This year's best console and portable gaming console ever! I can play it on my big screen or on it's tablet screen at night time. I am recommending switch to all my friends and colleagues. Lol.

Searched for this up and down for weeks, and finally came across it on Best Buy's website. It came in quick, plays fantastically, and I couldn't recommend it more.

My son love it. He plays that and he want buy more game

We love the Nintendo Switch! My kids have a switch lite and we have the switch! We love it

Very happy to have gotten the Switch, especially through Best Buy. Works great. Long battery life, beautiful screen. I can easily play this handheld or on my TV.

Bought it to give to my 4 and 8 year old nephews. They loved it. I like that it works as a personal game device and as a multiplayer so they can play with each other.

Overall very good device, very portable and family friendly. However do keep in mind that each individual game costs 60 bucks, which is a pretty hefty price tag.

I brought this Nintendo switch and so far I love it. It cool when you could dock it to a tv like a tradition console or you can use it handheld. I love it.

I’m grateful that I waited for the regular switch instead of going with the switch lite. I don’t have too much time to play in docked mode. HOWEVER, the option to do so is something that I didn’t realize would be so important until now. Having the option to play in docked mode just makes playing multiplayer so much easier. The versatility of the regular switch is something I’m grateful for.

I was able to borrow my friend's Switch a while back to play Zelda: BotW and it was an absolute blast. I had so much fun, when I saw it sitting on the shelf at BestBuy one day, I went ahead and grabbed it (they were sold out everywhere in my town, so it was a happy coincidence). I've used it for a few weeks now and am a huge fan! Obviously, Zelda is great, but the console itself is pretty awesome. I like the build quality, it seems pretty sturdy. I've taken it on a few trips with me and I'm definitely careful with it, but I also don't feel like I'm going to break it (or the controllers) taking it out to put it through the x-ray machine. I LOVE that I can throw it in the dock to charge, play for a while, and then when my wife wants the TV to watch her shows, I can just grab it and continue playing. It's super-convenient. More-so on that point, I like how you can pick it up; hit the button and just start playing immediately wherever you left off! I never have to load the game or wait for anything to boot. It also has really great battery life (for me at least) and I've only run it down once or twice on longer airplane rides. I have a new MacBook Pro, so I can simply reuse it's charger on the go (or plug it directly into the MBP) so I didn't need to buy an additional one. That's pretty handy. I honestly can't think of any cons. Being a PS4 gamer mostly (and then switching to desktop recently) the biggest thing I've had to get used to is the controllers and the button placement, but after a while it feels pretty natural. Also, I am still playing Zelda, but once I finish it, I'm honestly not seeing any games that I would immediately buy. I'm hoping by the time I finish, they will have a better selection of games to choose from; but I think I'll be on Zelda for quite a while.

I was glad when I was able to log on and get one as they are hard to find. It came when Best Buy said it would get here by. I've been enjoying it every since!
