Customer Ratings & Reviews

Nintendo has always been an innovator when it comes to video game systems, and the Nintendo Switch is no exception. The Switch has several great features going for it. While not as powerful as the Playstation 4 or Xbox One, the Switch is still more than powerful enough to output great video quality. When in hand-held (mobile) mode, the Switch runs at 720p. When docked, the Switch can reach up to 1080p. Notice I said up to. Not all games run at 1080. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for example, runs at 900p. Don't let this minor dip in resolution deter you from playing on the Switch, however. The average user will not notice any hit to the visual quality of the games. If I had not read about the resolution, I would have thought it was 1080p quality. Like any new game system, the game library is small. This is not enough to dock points from the review, however. Zelda is such a great game to keep players occupied for a while until new games are released. Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Super Street Fighter, Mario Oddsey, and many other great games are soon to come. The portability of the Switch is my favorite feature of the system. It offers players the ability to take the fun with them on the go. Games can be played on your big screen when the system is placed in the Switch docking station. The docking station even charges your system. When removed from the dock, the system can play games on the Switch's large screen. The screen is larger than that of the Nintendo 3DS XL screens, and the 720p resolution is more than enough to deliver amazing image quality. The one minor flaw with the system is that it fits a bit snug when placed in the docking station. There are some rubber grips inside the dock that hold the Switch game system in place. While it may not seem like a big deal at first, over time docking and undocking the system will smudge (and possibly scratch) the screen of the Switch. Some easy and cheap solutions to resolve this issue are to 1) buy a glass screen protector for the Switch screen, or 2) buy a felt slip-cover to place over the wall of the docking station to prevent rubbing by the Switch. Although this is a minor annoyance, once you install the above mentioned solution, the issue will no longer be of concern. In closing, I think that the Switch is a great system and I see myself using it as my primary game system. I'll still use the PS4 and Xbox One, but the portability and game library are what will keep me playing. It's great for road trips and playing at home.

i love nintendo and i love my switch. the portability of a whole gaming console is amazing!

I bought my nephew this nintendo switch for his birthday and he cannot get enough of it.

Never had any issues! Great quality. Durable. It was a birthday gift for my son.

Bought for my son he absolutely loves playing it. Almost too much, he can’t go anywhere without it now.

Easy to use. Bought as birthday gift for my 8year old. Now all my kids play it and they love it!

I've played for about 50-60 hours since I got the system back in December, and school has been the only reason why that number isn't triple what it is. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Super Mario Odyssey are all I've had time for. The fact that I can take this full fledged system wherever I go, kill an hour here and there, is just amazing. I can get about 6 hours with a full charge, which is pretty decent. There's so many fantastic games out right now that I cannot wait to get, and plenty more coming out in the next few months. Definitely recommend.

One of the easiest prices of technology that students can use to unwind after a long day of studying.

Perfect to play with the family or by yourself, also the portability is great if your going on trips.

My son was so excited to get this for Christmas to add to his collection of gaming consoles. This is basically an over-sized tablet with built in joy sticks so it wins on portability but sacrifices computing power as expected. For some silly reason my son decided to buy some graphics heavy games and expected the game-play and frame rate to be equal to that of his PS4 and Xbox. His father also has a switch which he plays daily on his commute to work and (I'm sure after work too but he's an ex so I no longer have to get upset over his videogame habits). Out of all the console systems, this one seems to get the least love from my son until it's family game night (which has sadly regressed from actual board games with me and his grandparents and uncles) to Mariokart or similar classic racing or basic games in front of the TV. I much rather prefer the board games but my kid's shrinking attention span requires flashy colors and a screen with buttons to press plus all the adrenaline and dopamine rush he gets from winning ( or dying and getting another redo). Anyway, this is excellent for potable gaming but maybe not the best choice if you want to launch a videogame streaming career or plan to win the next gaming competition.

The best game for my grandson he so happy me too His happiness is mine

The Nintendo switch is really unique, and is more than I expected from the console, it turns on quick and you ready to play in a min, take it from the dock and keep playing on the go. Is so much fun, I just hope they make more good games for it.

This system is great! You can detach it from the console and play it in the car. The parental controls are awesome as you can regulate screen time and other functions. My daughter loves it!

Haven't had any problems with this item! Thinking about getting another one!

This is a great game console and the flexibility to have it stationary or portable is incredibly convenient. This has been a sanity saver on long trips and quarantine days that feel endless!

I grabbed this for my son and he LOVED it!! And it’s also great for family game nights with or without kids! Lol

Nothing much to say about the Switch other than it's a great system. The newer model has some upgrades like a better screen and longer battery life, so it's definitely worthwhile to pick this up over the older model.

I had not played Nintendo game for a long time. The last machine I had was Gamecube. We never got into Wii. We used to enjoy Nintendo game as a family. We loved Mario Party, and Mario Kart. My youngest was talking about Switch when it first came out. Well, we decided to try it out. This is such a great console. You can play on TV, you can use as hand-held.., one controller becomes two when we play multiple player. We are hooked with this and enjoying Nintendo again. We missed Nintendo so much. I am glad that we bought this machine.

The switch is a great gaming console because of its portability. Unfortunately I think I left my original one in a hotel room so I had to buy a second unit. Very happy, would highly recommend this gaming system.

Tons of fun! So glad I purchased for my son. It's been a family night hit!
