Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pro's: Portablilty. Can be charged with any type c charger. Old style nintendo games available. Versatile controller/screen use. It is like a cross between a Wii U and a DS. Online play is relatively cheap compared to other console prices. There are computer style puzzle and other digital games available, as well coloring books, pinball, and most other genre's also, that are not typically available for other consoles. Con's - Mostly cost. To pay $300 for the console and then an average of $50 or more for most of the better games, adds up quickly and gets very expensive. The digital game downloads and physical game prices are usually the same. If you have multiple kids/users (especially more than 2) the cost of more controllers alone is killer. Not back play compatible and a lot of the games available for the Wii and Wii U are not (yet?) available so, you have to hang on to an older system if you play any of those or are interested in any of those games. Basically make sure you research the games and accessories you would need before you buy. This is not as much of a simple cost efficient family friendly console as they would like you to think. Do your homework.

Bought this for me and my kids to use. Nintendo has some great Family friendly games. The whole Switch concept works great as it seamlessly transforms from handheld to being used with the TV. I wish the game cartridges where a little bit bigger as there about the size of an SD card ( about the size of Quarter). Of course that really only matters if you have kids using it. Ours stays docked most of the time so durability has been good. New Nintendo Brand controllers are Expensive! so make sure you take care of them. Overall I'm happy with it though, and my kids love it!

my kids really love it, it is super practical, i highly recommend. perfect for a gift.

I bought this for my 20 year old son. He loves it. Games can be casted to big screens. Multiple players compete. Mario Cart is my favorite game.

I have been wanting a switch ever since quarantine started, was able to finally get one after randomly browsing Best Buy! Pure luck! They are always sold out! Purchased and it was ready for pick up a week later!

This switch is for my adult daughter. She, like me, loves the classic Nintendo games. The switch is an excellent gaming system to play new (and old) Nintendo games. The unique aspect to the game system is you can take it on the go or play it at home. Both of my daughters use the switch stand alone (i.e. not connected to a TV). I play mine connected to a big screen. This particular switch is my daughters' and she will nearly exclusively play this on the road! Great value and great fun.

The controllers always creek, and I’m concerned they may eventually break. I wish there were an optional hard case to hold it all together.

The system itself is incredibly fun. It is very plastic-y and feels easy to break/dent/scratch. Fixable with screen protector and case. How much you end up spending to enjoy it is a bit crazy. Nintendo games are an extra $60 each, Nintendo Online Subscription is $35 a year for a family plan to actually play these games online, extra pair of controllers cost $79, and cost of case/screen protector/ carrying case varies. So if you are interested, invest wisely.

I really wanted this 6 minths ago, but i was broke, and plus it was out of stock. But i finally got the chance to get it and what can i say, i love this console. I would really recommend this to the games lovers.

It’s been everything as advertised. Neat concept of being able to go portable to docked. Games have been pretty solid and provided hours of fun.

Great idea from Nintendo! This is thing will suck $$$ from your pocket though if you’re not careful. Nintendo has made the accessories almost mandatory and they are not cheap. Having problems with the controller joysticks drifting on their own— others have mentioned this too. Drawbacks aside, it’s very fun and kids love it.

Best gift my son got from Santa! Only problem is that Bestbuy don’t inform you in a timely manner when it’s time to pick up, aka late and almost will ruin the surprise. But anyways, thank you for the gift.

Nintendo knows what to do, and they do it well. The range of games, and the portability of this system make it well worth the price.

Loved it great gaming system cant wait to play it on the tv

The switch is an amazing console with no real sacrifices and all gain. The biggest issue I have is the statement of people saying its a gimmick. I agree Nintendo likes to put a unique feature on things and some can be gimmicky, but how is portability a gimmick? It's an option. It's not a special play style that is pushed onto you; portability is a huge feature that cuts inconveniences. Nobody would say it's a gimmick, so I really don't get it. Anywho. The execution was amazing. Joycons that concert to a regular controller as well as two independent controllers as well as the portable console's on board controller is great. The HD rumble is amazing. The future proofing of the adaptable controllers is peace of mind. Nintendo did a great job this time. 4 stars instead of 5 because while it's doing so much right, the Internet play needs to be taken seriously and that's something Nintendo has yet to do. that's really my only major gripe. So much potential and yet lackluster utilization. Nintendo is a company built on playing together. That's one of their biggest visions, yet they make playing together via the Internet a non optimal and actually pretty frustrating experience. Hopefully they have plans to do something better when they begin charging for the online service later this year.

Great item my kids are entertain and love the different options of games

The Nintendo Switch will not disappoint. We bought this to play more games together as a family. We have a PS4 as well which is great but more so for solo play. We enjoy playing the Switch and spending time together.

As much I like my PS4 & being able to stream with the various apps available on it, & as fun as the games are that I have on it, I'm really liking my Nintendo Switch as well. It definitely feels like it's focused on being for video games first, & all the gaga can come later. Granted, the system isn't as powerful as the PS4 or Xbox One, but as the Nintendo made games prove, it doesn't have to be. It makes a great second console to have. Play your favorite Nintendo games on the Switch, & play your favorite more powerful games on either PS4 or Xbox One.

Didn’t get it day one but this machine is amazing. Swapping between portable and tv is instant and the games are all A1 from Nintendo as usual. This is A hit.

My child loves it. She has wanted one for awhile now and we finally got it for her.
