Customer Ratings & Reviews

So a little background, I was an enthusiastic PC gamer in college who built my own PCs for the purpose and am now - due to the demands of adulthood - someone who only plays the occasional game. My last handheld Nintendo console was the black and white Game Boy Pocket in the early '90s, so I've been away from the platform ---- a while. I bought the Switch purely because I learned they had ported Skyrim to it, and as a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls genre, I was hoping to devote some of my train commutes to questing around Tamriel. In this sense, the Switch does not disappoint. I am not a graphics connoisseur, but - compared to the PC version - Skryim plays really well on the Switch. No perceptible lag, colors are crisp. Yes, it's missing the expansions and yes, the text can be a little small, but that's a fair trade-off for the portability this platform brings. So far, I only own 2 games - Skyrim and MarioKart 8 (another throwback to my college dorm days on the N64), and I love playing both on the Switch, MaroKart is obviously the newer game and so the graphics and gameplay are much better but I'm a still a sucker for Skyrim (at least until the next ES is released, hopefully in my lifetime). Anyway, all this to say the Nintendo Switch is a great console for busy adults who want to reminisce about the fun they had 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. The Switch doesn't take itself too seriously (which I love) but that means it might not be the right choice for people concerned with the perfect graphic or gameplay experience - there are dedicated consoles that do this much better. What the Switch does is make gaming on the go effortless, fun for the average busy person, and something you can really enjoy with your whole family - which I think was Nintendo's real goal here all along.

I like swithc it works well for my chilfren thank you best by

Though it appears that the Switch console drought is clearing up, it is well worth the wait. This Switch can be played anywhere (except underwater, or in a volcano) and the joycons allow you to play in any position imaginable. I often play lying down on my side. More and more third party developers are making Switch games, so the library is only going Tom continue to grow. Hopefully the virtual console is released soon, since they discontinued the WiiU console and the Wii Shop Channel is closing in January 2019. One downside, there is nothing to play out of the box if you just buy the console. At least the original Wii had Sports Resort and the 3DS had Face Raiders and AR Game Cards. You will have to buy at least one game to actually play the Switch, whether a physical game or an eShop download. I bought the Switch for BotW so this wasn't too big of a deal for me, but take this into account if you think $300 is already a bit high for you.

Great system. Bought it for a 6 year old and there are so many options of games that she can play. Much more than PS4 and Xbox. The best part is that you can play on the tv or grab it and take on a trip. Highly recommend this system.

You can play game on large screen TV as well as play game portable

Love the portability of this console. Keeps the kiddo occupied daily (weird after he's ignored every other system Nintendo related). Can't keep him off of this one. He is obsessed with Zelda. Gotta admit I loved that too. Looking forward to taking this on vacation with us next week

My kids love Nintendo perfect for kids. Well made and easy to use

I've had this for 2 weeks now, and mainly bought it for Zelda, which in of itself isn't the end all to get this system, but considering other titles like Mario Kart and the upcoming Super Mario, it was worth it. Honestly I bought it impulsively only because Best Buy was the only retailer who had them, and saw others new on Amazon and eBay selling for close to $500 for just the console. Graphics are done well, but you'll be disappointed to find that although the tablet has 720p resolution, the dock will only bump it up to 960p to a TV, not even full HD, much less 4K. Back to portability, it gives you the option to play it as a true handheld, but with your hands that far apart, having the controllers attached takes getting used to. In tabletop mode, the 2 grips come off the tablet and attach to a connector, turning it into a typical console controller, and the tablet's built in stand makes of playing on a airplane tray table more like a console game.

My son loves this game , it is durable and easy to play .

Just what I thought it would be! Works great, fun games, great system.

The Nintendo Switch has far exceeded my expectations in so many ways. While it is not super powerful and some games will most likely never be published on it due to this fact, the Switch has a wealth of games that are amazing to play, both new and old games. Playing on the Switch is simple, turning on and starting up a game is quicker than even the PS4 Pro or Xbox One X. It takes less time to boot up and start a game than for your television to turn on, and to top it off, switching between docked mode and handheld mode takes about a second and a half, less time it will take you to pick it up or to dock it. Handheld mode is great when the wife, or someone is using the television, or you have left the house. I could not be happier with this purchase. And it being Nintendo most games are kid friendly and adults have plenty of mature games to chose from as well as playing the same games any kid will enjoy.
