Customer Ratings & Reviews

My nephew can't put it down! This was his favorite xmas gift. He received many games as well and couldn't be happier.

Nice console to have if you have other consoles as well. Barely use it, but it's a lot of fun when I do.

Its the best handheld gaming system since the psp.

This thing is perfect for playing on the TV and on the go. It's great to take over to a friend's place either with the dock or just the tablet and play some multiplayer games with the oddly comfortable joy-cons. As small as they are they have never felt too small or cramped in my hands but my hands are average. Perhaps large-handed individuals might not enjoy the size

I’m not much of a gamer. The system is great for the entire family to help exercise in home due to COVID-19.

Owned product for almost a month now, just love it. I spend time playing it everyday, can't wait to play more games.

A well-thought-out, well-planned, perfectly executed game system from one of the great names in the industry. Initial sales road the back of Zelda, but the quality of the game system itself is what keeps people coming back for more. I was lucky enough to grab one of these on the release weekend (at Best Buy) when it first came out and then I bought two more for family members for Christmas and we are all in love! There are millions of reviews on the game system, controllers, dock vs handheld, etc., so I won't go into detail about pros and cons there. Instead, I will concentrate on whether or not you're making a good investment. The system itself is solid, doesn't feel heavy in your hands, but you can tell it's made from quality material. I'm not saying you can drop it on the kitchen floor and expect it not to scratch and ding (or perhaps break), but it can take a little punishment. Also, Best Buy sells screen protectors for the not-so-careful gamer. The quickly growing catalog of games offered range from cheaper casual entries (ala Google Play or the Apple Store) to very good quality indie titles (try the $20 "Fe" if you want a pleasant surprise), to ports of older games from other systems, to flagship offerings (like Zelda and Mario Oddysey). They release a new batch of games in the online shop (accessible from the Switch) every Thursday. It's always a mix of ports, indies, something old, something new. There are always games for every age range and budget. Depending on the game, some will be download only, while other big-name titles can be download or purchased in "cartridge" version. My one complaint, the cartridges are small!! Buy an organizer travel case or watch your kids like a hawk or they will end up missing before you know it. To help avoid the dog picking them up and chewing on them (or your child), the carts are coated with a bitter-tasting coating. I haven't tried licking one of my games yet, but I understand it's bitter enough to deter swallowing and/or destruction. I'll take their word for it. Also on the topic of games, the articles that I've read indicate big game companies are surprised at how the switch has caught on and they are now dedicating teams to developing Switch games. There are big title release names coming up for 2018 and beyond, so don't expect the party to end anytime soon. As with all game systems, there are some duds in the lineup, but there are plenty of websites that provide reviews to help you make an informed buying decision. If you want to monitor purchases of games, you have two options. First, you can password protect the eShop, which would force them to come to you for new game purchases. Second, you can fill up your eShop account from a debit or checking account. Game purchases are made from the eShop balance available. Nintendo provided access to the same Mii functionality that's been available since the Wii. Allowing you to build an avatar, send and accept friend requests, play games online, play games in party mode (get four kids together with their Switches and watch them play Super Mario Kart, it's fun to watch). Long story short, the Switch surprised everyone (except Nintendo) and the momentum is still building. Do not hesitate to buy this for the gamer in your life. It seems like it's going to be around for quite a few years and will end up as one of those systems that changed the industry. The solid system provides PLENTY of options to keepyour gamer happy. If I could turn this review up to 11, I would. Oh, worth noting, I'm going to be 50 in August and I love (LOVE) my Switch. It will touch any and all age ranges the same way (my mom, who is in her 70's loves it, too).

Great family game console! My 4 year old and his daddy watch walk thru and play frequently together.

My autistic son has asked for this system for Christmas He usually studies things well before he asks for something. I know it will be good..

Simple, fun, and portable Nintendo at it again making a great family friendly game station you can take anywhere.

Very fun console for kids. My 6 year old is a big fan of video games and this is easy for him to play.

Great fun product. Would recommend to anyone who wants to relax and have a good time.This is a blast!!

Perfect for at home or on the go. Graphics are amazing, and controls are not hard. Price is a little steep for Nintendo, but system fantastic.

Great battery life for such a strong little console. Fun to bring around friends. It is definitely geared towards couch gaming amongst others.

So great to have been able to get a switch finally! The ability to play on the go and on your tv is great

I love my Switch. Good quality console and I love the versatility of being able to switch from TV to handheld.

Got this switch and it been great. Very easy to use and set up. Overall very satisfied with my purchase.

Couldn’t get the Xbox series x or Ps5 so I decided to settle for the older “new” console and buy a switch. I am not regretting it so far. This will definitely hold me over for a year or so while I wait for the new systems to be in stock and this will hopefully also give them time to work out the bugs on those new consoles. But when comparing it to the new consoles...it does feel pretty overpriced. It should probably be $50-$100 cheaper

Not the strongest console when compared the Xbox One and PS4, but it brings something to the table that the others don't, a very, very unique approach to how it interacts with gamers. To be able to game at home on your TV, then take your gaming on the go portably is a feature that cannot be underestimated. Oh, and the exclusive games are top notch.

Both my kids and myself play on the switch. I'm not usually a gaming person but I found myself playing games on it.
