Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch is hands down the best console I’ve ever owned. And it all comes down to one simple, yet profoundly unique aspect. Portability. The ability to take home console games on the go - to play anywhere I want in handheld mode - is worth more to me than the graphical prowess of the PS4/PS5 or Xbox One/Series consoles. The second reason why I love the Switch, portability notwithstanding, is the massive library of games. And while I can’t count how many times I hear “but they’re all just ports”, my first answer is: No. They’re not. And my second answer is: Ports are awesome. Bring everything to Switch. I mean, seriously, the amount of quality games one has to choose from for this console, in addition to the ability to play anywhere, is just insane. Xenoblade Chronicles 1 & 2, Monster Hunter Rise, Persona 5 Strikers, Skyrim, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dragon Quest XI: S, Divinity: Original Sin II, Bravely Default II, Pokémon Sword & Shield, etc etc etc. In terms of this specific model, it’s fantastic and I’ve had no issues whatsoever — and I’ve been playing it for over a year or so now pretty regularly. I’ve noticed a big difference in the longer lasting battery life of this model versus the original launch model. Otherwise, that’s about all I’ve noticed as being a difference between the two. But hey, that’s fine by me as I primarily play handheld like 95% of the time. If you don’t care about the upcoming, inevitable Switch Pro model that will be likely to launch around Q4 2021 or sometime 2022, then I can’t recommend this model enough. It’s an amazing hybrid console and the hours you’ll get out of it will not only be massive in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality due to the amazing and ever-growing library of games. Do it.

The best game ever! Bought for my daughter for her birthday

Amazing console and great games to enjoy and play with the family

I have an Xbox1 but I spend most of my time on this since I got it. I love the portability and the capabilities of on the go multiplayer and big screen gaming. Battery life is excellent with a variety of games and joy con colors

Same excellent console now with a much needed battery improvement. Would recommend to anyone that used to be on the fence

I had an original Nintendo switch and this is the updated second version. I can honestly say the battery life has been significantly improved over the original version. I'm not sure if this new version claims any increase in game performance but at least to me, that still seems the same which is fine. Every game I have runs just as good on this switch as opposed to the original unit I had. I have had this unit for a while and purposely waited to post a review to be sure I did not have any joy-con drift problems like I did with the first unit which Nintendo corrected anyway. Nintendo is a top notch company who stands firmly behind its product. I recommend this console for all ages, if you can find it in stock.

When people say the Ninendo Switch has no games, dont listen! Zelda BOTW and Mario Odyssey are more than enough to make you buy the Switch! Besides Arms, Splatoon 2, Pokken Tournament, Rocket League, and Fast RMX. The best part is you can take it on the go!

I'm so glad I made this purchase even with the "new" Switch on the horizon. I really love the versatility of the Switch! I honestly didn't think I would use the other modes besides docked, but it's been so nice having games on the go with something significantly better to play on than a phone. I really wanted to change up my gaming as I've only been playing PS4 lately and I've finished most of the games I wanted to play. That started to get stale so I really wanted something new and different. The Switch offers something fresh and engaging. I've spent so much time on Zelda Breath of the Wild, more than most games on my other console already. The joy-cons, although small, are quite responsive and work well with the games on offer. The whole device feels surprisingly solid and is definitely made well. I opted to get the BestBuy protection plan. I'd recommend this especially if you plan to take your Switch with you a lot. There is also a known issue with the joy-cons after a while. The sticks tend to drift causing input lag and misdirection, so I'm glad I would be covered in case something happens (the protection plan is actually cheaper than a new set of joy-cons too, just saying). I highly recommend getting some accessories for it. Cases, grips, controllers, dock sleeves, screen protectors. game card cases, all of these little things just add to the experience and of course, protects and makes things more convenient. It feels like I'm investing in something worthwhile. I understand those who are on the fence about buying this model with the announcement of an updated Switch coming in the fall. I bought mine this summer before that news came out, but I don't at all regret making the purchase. I knew I wanted to spend a chunk of my summer playing this. Plus the upgrade is very minor, just a couple hours of extra battery life. I always have my charger with me and I might invest in a portable battery anyway, so waiting a few months for a version that is virtually identical just didn't make sense to me. If you can wait then, sure, get a Switch later during the holidays. Either way, this is a fantastic console and if you really want to feel like a kid again this is for you!

Nothing quite like it. The Switch is absolutely unrivaled as a mobile-to-console platform. It runs extremely well, and knowing that Nintendo can only go up from here is heartening. Would not hesitate to buy another.

Hands down the best Nintendo system ever made by Nintendo and for the price u can’t beat it compared to those other systems that cost over $400 and the best thing is u can bring it anywhere with u just make sure u buy a car charger for the Nintendo switch

My son loves it! He really enjoys it. He likes that it’s portable so he can connect with his friends on the go. Just wish there was more variety of games to choose from. The only con is the lack of internal storage. Need to buy a separate SD card for it.

The Nintendo switch has great game selection. Their consolidation of the home console to something portable is awesome. Great buy for young and old...device itself is sleek & lightweight..everything you would want in a portable device. Good job Nintendo!

This is the best birthday gift ever! The words of my 9 year old son. He loves the ability to play on the TV and then play the same games on the go. Also the attachments on the go allow 2 players. Neat game system with fun games for kids and flexibility!

My son loves his Nintendo Switch. Love that he can take it anywhere and play or we can hook it up to our tv and play on the big screen. Controllers are a but tiny that come with it, but work well.

Right now it’s hard to get one of these, but if you get lucky, you won’t regret it. Super portable and has ton of fun games to play. In store pick up was super easy with the friendly staff. Highly recommend!

I love using this and playing the games on it. It is fun to play with family and friends

Excellent, very good quality and durable. I'm very excited to have made the purchase.

The switch has been an incredible product. The quality is exceptional and the ease of use is spot on. We have invested in a lot of gaming products but this one has topped them all!

Got this gift for my brothers birthday and he absolutely loves it. worth EVERY penny!!

The Nintendo Switch is an absolute game-changer! It's a versatile console that allows you to play both on your TV and on the go. The library of games is incredible, offering a wide range of genres and experiences. The Joy-Con controllers are intuitive and make multiplayer gaming a blast. Whether you're a casual gamer or a hardcore enthusiast, the Nintendo Switch has something for everyone. It's a must-have for any gaming fan!
