Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this or shall I say Santa purchase this for my step-son this Christmas. Wii console actually having an LCD screen and being standalone while also being able to plug into the TV and something new and improved for any old school gamer like myself. The games are very fluid and I'd have not noticed any real lag. In comparison to the other consoles such a PlayStation or the Xbox you will obviously see a degradation in video quality however the trade-off in portability is worth while.

Works great, easy to travel with, good game options.

I absolutely love my attention switch. It’s been a big thing in our family! So many games bring pure nostalgia to my husband and I. I love that you can carry it with you on the go, and have it set up to your tv. It’s very easy to use!

I had the original switch and love that they extended the battery life. Only wish this had Bluetooth and bigger memory.

We weren't sure what to think of the Switch after the whole WiiU debacle (which is actually a good console poorly maintained), but went out and got this basically for 2 games, Zelda and Mario Odyssey. These notes are from the teens that actually use the console. Pluses: 1. It's quick. Not having a disc means the games load much faster than the other consoles. 2. It's portable. You don't lose any playability by taking it with you. 3. It's pretty. The graphics are going to win any hyper realistic awards, but the colors are bold and strong. 4. It's fun. They're only a few days into it, but those two games are providing a lot of play time. Cons: 1. The screen is smaller than we all thought. For portability I'm sure, but I was expecting something along the 10" screen size. Even the kids thought it was bigger than it actually is. 2. It's kind of flimsy. All the slots and grooves are plastic and designed to connect easily and they do. However, if you're a little off track it's easy to mistake the misalignment with the latching design and force it. More of something to adjust to than a true flaw, but with teens it's going to be interesting to see how well it holds up.

What can I say? It's a Nintendo Switch, it's almost an essential item to have in your home. Kids, adults, older adults will all enjoy it. I like that the remotes can sense movement, its nice when you're playing Just Dance and dont have to buy an extra thing for the game to work and sense your movements. Highly recommend everyone to buy one, if you're thinking about it, stop thinking and just get it, no regrets.

Pros -great concept for handling portability -Controllers feel great as solo pieces in left and right hand -surprised and very happy at having the motion control in this console -battery life for console and controllers is amazing considering the technology -Looking forward to more games coming out for this console Cons -no good case to hold console yet while also working with Hub -unique controller with a battery life meaning you have to go out and buy a Joy Con Charging Grip to keep playing on big screen while the controllers charge in the grip. -No button on controllers can turn the Nintendo Switch on. You always have to go up to the console and hit the power button. All in all, this is a great system so don't get me wrong, there are minor flaws you can work with easily. The one game you have to buy with this console though is, hands down, The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of The Wild. I've played it twice already at 30 hours and 60 hours respectively. I will be going back to this game to experience all the DLC for the first time after I beat Xenoblade Chronicles 2 which is also another great game surprisingly. Finally, don't be surprised when you take out your first game from its case after buying this console. The game cartridges are small like a SD card for a camera only a little bigger and thicker.

excellent game system with all the great nintendo titles. Will need to buy a Sd card if your gonna have a lot of downloaded games.

Been a nintendo fan for as long as I can remember. Love the portability and the games I play on the device.

Brought this for my daughter for Christmas and she havent put it down since i believe this was the best gift for her and anyone who is into games only thing is u might have problems with the controller breaking on the inside

I can talk about how nicely it feels on your hands. How "premium" it looks. How great Zelda, Splatoon 2 and Xenoblade 2 are. How snappy the OS is. All of those things are true, but they miss the point. What Switch has done for me is give me my hobby back. With the home-mobile being so seamless, so instantaneous, I've played more games for more hours on Switch this year than last 3-5 years of gaming combined. Switch feels like a device for adults in that it fits into my lifestyle, and not the other way around. We've already bought a second in my house.

Bought it for my son but my husband ending up loving it more. I will also play it eventually because I want to play Zelda and possibly donkey Kong. Also love you can have it a handheld system and play on tv

The Nintendo Switch is a great portable and console gaming system for all ages. Going from docked to portable is super simple and seamless. My only gripe is the battery life as most games last typically between 2-4 hours on a single charge. However, charging is very simple and quick as the system uses a USB-C charging port. The Switch is great for long car or plane rides as well and usually catches other people's attention. More games will be coming, but the selection out there will certainly keep you busy for at least a few weeks without flinching. I would also highly recommend getting the Pro Controller if you are used to gaming on other consoles. Using the Joy-cons is really only great for handheld gaming, not prolonged docked use. Highly recommended.

My kids love the new Nintendo switch it’s everything they wanted and more Best Buy truly always has the best prices and upmost excellence in customer service. Highly recommend anyone and everyone to go there.

Great for travel or for the big screen at home. A second controller necessary to save hands with multiplayer

I mean, with all of the hype you know this console is one of the best things that nintendo has done. The only thing I would recommend though is to get a pro controller with it. I have heard horror stories and have even experienced it myself. The joysticks are secured with a cheap plastic rather than metal (which every other controller uses) and breaks very easily, causing whats known as joycon drift. So trust me when I say, bundle this with a pro controller.

Such a surprisingly powerful console. I was born in 1979. How far we have come with handhelds. I have yet to notice a problem w it handling Skyrim. Typically the game has issues way past the point Im at though. A wide variety of games to choose from. Colors/designs. Accessories. Holds a charge well. Im pleased.

Great to use with tv or handheld. Nintendo always makes the best games like animal crossing and Luigi's Mansion 3

The *updated* Nintendo Switch does not disappoint. As compared to my launch day Switch, all the major problems, both software and hardware, have been addressed. Furthermore, the longer battery life comes in handy when using the device in portable mode. I found myself able to play Skyrim on the 5 hour flight to Hawaii (from California) with the battery carrying me through. Exact usability may vary, but I for one and pleasantly pleased with the updated model. Looking forward to limited editions now.

Great guft for grandkids. Bought 2 of threse for grandsons (4 and 5) last Christmas an they both loved them.
