Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch is advertised as being portable and easy to use on the go. However, it's tiny battery life and large size make it inconvenient and impossible to play without standing out. It's too big to fit in a normal human pocket, making it worse with portability than the 3DS handheld. The launch lineup was also very poor and hasn't become much better since. This console seems to be receiving a drip-feed of one game per month from Nintendo while most other desirable games and developers seems to shy away from the Switch due to high development and manufacturing costs. The console itself has potential, but it could have and should have been a more powerful, stationary unit like the PlayStation or Xbox consoles. Ironically, the biggest competitor and reason not to buy and play the Switch is another of Nintendo's systems: the 3DS. It's more portable, has a better library/battery, and plays games at a higher frame rate in most cases.

Perfect for younger kids. We have fun with Mario Kart play as a family. This is my first console purchase since the original xbox, now that I have kids I'm glad I purchased it we all have fun!

No regret after buying Nintendo Switch at all! Though the graphic is not as good as PS4, overall concept, flexibility and mobility are unbeatable! The games of cause are unique, fun and really enjoyable! Kids will definitely love it for sure!

We are so happy we made this purchase it just suck how much money you have to spend after already spending $300 for the system. All the games are so pricey but we love it and we all play as a family.

bought this for our kids for long road trips. they can each play at the same time, no need to bring a big bulky unit. works great. no issues.

Perfect ordered for my girlfriend and she loves it now if I cant get her to quit playing

I love how versatile this system is. I played it on the train to work and I played it at home with friends. Would recommend for all ages!

My grandson asked for this gift under the condition, I learn to play. Still awaiting the invitation. He loves this new console.

The original Nintendo Switch is a top option if you prefer to play most of your games on your entertainment center’s TV.Play in handheld, tabletop, and TV modes. Includes 2 Joy-Con controllers and dock. HD rumble feedback. Built-in kickstand. Up to 9 hours of battery life. Available in neon red/blue and grey. Handheld gaming gets a little murky when played in direct sunlight.

The game is excellent the kids love it abs it has enhanced features. Multiple people can play or individual play is just as rewarding. There are so many compatible games to go with this game.

My grandson loves it!! It keeps him entertained for hours. Its well made and he really enjoys it

The Switch is a game console that is built for solo play or co-op, it great for the whole family and anyone can learn how to play on it.

I am pleased with price and quality of goods. My only problem is not enough floor staff to wait on me. This local Best Buy is very frustrating with that

Works well, only downside it did not have a manual to provide detailed instruction on how to operate it.

One, if not the best console in the market, it’s super cool to play with it, and I love to play with the tv

Nintendo Switch's are very family friendly and can allow a family to play a game together. When the package arrived it was in great shape and it worked perfectly. It is again a great toy for summer fun!

My grandson enjoy the game it's portable and can we take it everywhere with us. He also can share with his cousins. Very enjoyable game

Just do it don't leave behind your other major consoles but get a switch. It played well feels good and travels great highly recommend this game system.

The Switch is a great console with lots of functionality. Really enjoy the fact you're able to take it and go without disrupting the game you're playing. I was lucky and so far haven't experienced any of the JoyCon drift issues. The only cons are battery life (and Nintendo is releasing a new edition of the Switch with better battery, so I'd advise getting that one instead when it comes out), and the price of games on the eShop. You're able to get pretty decent prices on games at places like Walmart or BestBuy or GameStop, but the direct Nintendo eShop rarely offers games at a lower price, even several months after release. Most big box/retail stores will lower the prices on the physical products, but Nintendo is content to leave them at their initial prices and only rarely discount (put "on sale") the less popular games (and almost never do the same for AAA or popular games). Overall, I'd say mostly positive experience. Good product, though if you're thrifty or budget-conscious, you should buy games at a retail store to get better prices.

I was late to join the Switch party but was fortunate to order it in the 1 hour it wasn't sold out and I'm so happy I did! I love that the controllers are gray; I find the design so much more sleek and professional than the more juvenile blue and red. It was super easy to set up, especially for someone who has never owned a console before, and the controls were so easy to get used to! It's disappointing that everything is so expensive but I'm still happy I got it!
