Customer Ratings & Reviews

Following its huge success with the DS systems, I knew it was only in time, Nintendo would come up with some kind of hybrid system that you can take portably and enjoy at the comfort of your home. The ability to just pick up where you left off is convenient. These joy con controllers are surprisingly comfortable to hold, and the battery life on them is great. It's a bit small when holding sideways, and I actually have yet to try that feature out myself with any game, as the only game I currently have, is BoTW. The battery life on them seem pretty good. Never need to experience a low charge warning. The Switch itself in portable mode is pretty good. 3 hours is about what I get playing BoTW. At the time of the release, I can honestly say that I was one of those people who would wait a few months into it's life till I get this device. There wasn't much great games on it's library that caught my attention, besides BoTW. Now that it's September, the games library is starting to pick up! I cannot wait for DBZ Xenoverse 2, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles to drop this year. I am a physical game buyer, but if you're into the digital downloads, make sure you pick up a memory card. 128 GB seems enough, but to each their own. Also, the eShop for Switch is currently is still pretty small. Because it's a region free device however, you definitely should check out Japan's eShop. It has a PLETHORA of games on there that are not here in the west just yet. The do have One Piece, DBZ Xenoverse 2 (which will be released here in the west next week!) Dragon Quest Heroes 1&2, and soon the Dynasty Warriors 8 franchise! You need to have a Japan eShop points/currency to buy the games however :) The only unfortunate thing, is that there currently is no VC on the Switch. If I recall correctly, Nintendo does plan to implement VC into the Switch, but 6 months later since it's release, it's still no where to be found. Even the recent September Direct, no new news about whether VC is coming in the foreseeable future.

I’ve been wanting a Nintendo Switch for awhile but my girlfriend and I were both juggling 2 jobs for the last year and a half. We have a 2 1/2 year daughter that is always interested in the games we play on our phone. Both of us being Nintendo owners ever since we were kids (hence the back to the Super Nintendo & N64 days) We knew we wanted our daughter to be part of that upcoming and love what Nintendo has to offer and the amazing games and console development over the years! Since the pandemic started and us doing our part by staying in, the switch definitely came in handy and enjoy every aspect it has to offer! Thank you Best Buy and Nintendo!

As some YouTubers say, this system punches above its weight class. It produces visual you would not expect from a portable system. It can be played on a television or in hand, which is extremely useful when you want to continue your game but you need to leave the house. The game are fun, the system comes with two controllers and the battery lasts longer than you would expect. Plenty of games on this tiny system have kept me entertained for hundreds of hours since purchase.

Got this to replace my launch version with Gray joy-con. Colors are bright and fun, battery is better, and overall this feels more premium than my original Switch - very happy!

the console is really easy to install and start playing. my kids really love it and the option to play without TV it's a huge benefit when you have long trip planed with kids... they were able to play for many hours..

I purchased this for my son, he absolutely loves it. We just got him a stearing wheel and foot pedals for mario cart and he is loving it.

Great system, portable, long battery life. It could have included an extra set of joy cons. $80 is a little pricey for them if you want multiplayer though, it's a must. Hopefully, they will get more games out there.

I bought this system to help with exercise. I use to have a Wii and needed a system that would get me moving. It was easy to set up and plenty of game to keep you moving.

best gift for my daughter! she uses it all the time for trips. battery lasts

This is the best console for children. They will forget about using cellphones. They can take the console with them. Many player can play at the same time and when at home you may continue the game in a big screen.

I am so happy that I was able to get one! It’s an amazing console and there are many amazing games that it is compatible with it. Very fun, even for the whole family to play with.

Excellent game system, and much better than the "lite" version. This item is a must have if you enjoy gaming and Nintendo. We are currently playing Hogwarts legacy. I used to play Neverwinter Nights on PC and I was pleasantly surprised to find it for switch as well as a few older computer games that they have adapted to this console.

Fun and easy to set up! Easy same day pick up option too!

Obsessed with this thing. It sucks that the games are all like $60 though so just be ready for that. Also the Nintendo membership is monthly and then you can play your friends online. I didn’t know that before hand. Other than that, it’s amazing! Switching from the tv to handheld is great + you can take the joycons off while handheld if you want to play it at your desk or something. 10/10! Also I had to buy a SD card for this but they r kinda cheap.

I love the portability and the ability to play on a big screen as well. many games titles available and a solid unit when on the go. Wish I would have bought sooner!

This has been something on my list to buy for a few years now and i finally had the extra money to grab one. I have been playing it like crazy! I already have 30+ hours on super smash bros ultimate. The games that switch offers always will hold a special place in my heart. And to finally have one of my own has been wonderful.

Bought Nintendo switch for a nephew in Mexico and he lovesss it. He was amazed of the quality and performance of the switch

I love this game console. I wanted months for it to restock and was so excited when I was able to finally get one. Long battery life and easy to hold. Makes for endless fun

Purchased this as a gift for my son. Works well. It’s portable during traveling and it can connect to TV as well. It’s nice that you can add additional players, when needed.

My boyfriend and I bought this Nintendo Switch Console for his little sisters and it was so worth it for both the kids and the rest of the fam! you cannot go wrong !
