Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up a Nintendo Switch and Mario Odyssey with some hesitation. I am not a serious gamer and a lot of times my consoles and games sit around collecting dust. Usually love the Zelda games but haven't loved a Mario game in a long time - until now. This game is beautiful, fun, and full of surprises. While I expected to spend most of my time with the Zelda game for the Switch - so far Mario (which I got first) has held my attention and gotten the bulk of my time.

I’ve always loved Nintendo and even though I’m more of a PS4/Xbox One now But I always loved playing Zelda and Mario games on Nintendo and that’s more of the reason why I got the switch and the fact that the controller can become two controllers to be used for like Mario Kart without purchasing another set of controller is freaking awesome! Overall, you can’t go wrong with owning a Nintendo Switch everybody will love playing on this system and will never get bored.

I had been monitoring Best Buy for a Nintendo Switch, and when one became available for order I quickly bought it. My pick up date was about 3 weeks, but ultimately it came in early so I waited about a 1 and 1/2. Picking it up at the store was quick and easy. A great experience overall! Plus all of the e-mailed videos from best Buy with info on set up and other features was great, too!

Excellent console. I took a long time to buy this console. I bought it for my son but ended up spending more time with it than him. It has access (paid) to old classic NES, SNES, N64 and sega games. I even bought the classic NES controllers. I highly recommend if you’re a 90’s kid

I bought the Switch for my grandson for his birthday and it's perfect for his level. He can take it anywhere like in the car it keys him occupied. Plus Best Buy has always been above average with their customer service!

I love that I can take this everywhere and all the games make this even better!!!

They have been sold out everywhere but somehow I was lucky enough to snag one of these from the Best Buy website. I had it delivered due to the pandemic changing most store policies. It came brand new and without a flaw! I’ve been playing it almost everyday since I got it. I was considering a switch lite but I’m glad I waited because having the ability to play it on the tv is worth the extra money.

Works great, fun to play. Keeps everyone happy. Just as expected from nintendo.

Excellent, good for play and pass time, really enjoy

I was a latecomer to the Switch. I did the whole GameCube and Wii thing. Skipped the Wii-U and (until now) the Switch. Mainly because I assumed it would be Nintendo's usual *slightly less powerful* console offering that they had done for the previous 3 generations. While it's true that in many of the titles shared between the consoles, you probably aren't going to be able to match the graphics quality of the PS4 or XBOX One in a side by side comparison, games can be beautiful and fun without needing photo realistic models. Nintendo has always had a way of taking its exclusives and flagships and producing visually stunning artistic landscapes (Zelda is just awesome) and pairing them with original scores that perfectly convey the emotions and mood of the moment. Most of the titles available on the more powerful systems are also available for the Switch (The Witcher 3, Red Dead Online, CoD, Battlefield). There may be reduced graphics compared to the others, but only enough to allow smooth gameplay. In my opinion, unless you are playing the same title on multiple consoles, the differences are unnoticeable while immersed in playing. The fact you can dock/undock without stopping your game, its compact size paired with a large screen, along with all the other little conveniences it has far outweigh a few slightly lower res shadows or textures.

I bought this for my 6 year old Son and he absolutely loves it. The fact that he can take it anywhere is awesome

This is the most convenient way to play your games. You can play at home on your big screen or you can play on the go on the actual console itself. It is also the only way to get Nintendo content (Mario, Zelda, etc.). This is a must have for any gamer. It doesn't matter if you preferred PC, PS4, or XBox1 previously. This is by far the most convenient way to game. It can be your portable console or it can be your do-it-all machine. Definitely a must buy for any gamer.

Great system to take on the go. 2 player mode with the controllers included makes the experience way more awesome

I really enjoy the concept. I have played on planes with my wife and had big Mario parties at home. I have always wanted a switch and after playing my controller disconnect during games with friends and now honestly we don’t play as much. It was just one of the controllers so I bought two more and one of those did the same thing disconnecting during games. I’m guessing them Bluetooth gets cut off. The Wii remotes never had that problem…. Other than the remotes disconnecting I’ve really enjoyed playing all the games and being able to go solo or having the whole family play. Totally worth the money and I bet if I got the switch 2 these problems would be solved hopefully.

Very user friendly, lots of fun games. One of the best consoles you can buy right now!

What more to say. This is the best console for my 10 and 6 year old. We have about 12 games by now and extra controllers. We love it. Animal Crossing is their favorite and they play it everyday. Hardware is marvelous and updates are easy to install. Everything is pretty intuitive and kids figure it all out pretty quick. Just let the adults set up the docking station to the tv.

Reccomend, i bought it and I really enjoy playing with friends and family.

I purchased this as a gift for someone that is very familiar with the Switch already. The quality and fun of this console is really high. I slightly prefer the regular Switch over the Switch Lite because it can be plugged into into television. This updated version has a better battery life per charge and everything else about it is just as great as the original console version.

Great console, the controllers are cheaply made, very portable and convenient

The Nintendo Switch offers a great variety of games for such a new console, including some instant classics from Nintendo (Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon 2) and other developers (Rabbids Kingdom, Sonic Mania), and I look forward to playing Bethesda titles like Skyrim, Doom, and the new Wolfenstein 2 soon enough. While the console offers a pure gaming system (as Nintendo handhelds have always done), there is word that other multimedia capabilities are on their way (the likes of Netflix etc). The unit itself is a beautiful achievement in design. It's unusually lightweight for something that packs so much punch (great for extended play sessions), and the controllers (although small) are sturdy and offer a wide array of inputs to help control 3D and innovative games. One gripe I had is that you can't plug the unit into the stand to charge and play games off the screen, it has the screen blocked and must be connected to an HDMI display- you can charge and play, but you need to have the unit in handheld mode. Another gripe is that the only way to charge the controllers is by having them connected to the console. Each of these issues are easily fixed by purchasing accessories to help, and do not really affect the enjoyment of the Switch at all. 32GB of space already in the machine made it easy for me to purchase a game straight out of the box, ready to play. Expandable with micro SD cards means that adding more games is relatively cost-effective (much cheaper than Vita's proprietary memory cards, or having to buy new hard drives for other home consoles). Overall, the Switch is an excellent gaming machine for all kinds of gamers across a wide range of ages, and with Nintendo's best ever support for indie titles, there is a bright future ahead for the console and its owners.
