Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was my first game system since the Nintendo 64/Dreamcast. Fell in love with it after a friend let me borrow it and had to get my own switch.

After owning a Nintendo Wii a while ago we finally updated to the Nintendo Switch. Definitely missed playing all the Mario games! Graphics are pretty good and using the system is smooth and easy as well. It’s really neat to be able to continue playing on the handheld which the screen is fairly big and clear. Game selection is good for my taste! My 5 year old daughter can even play Mario Kart and Mario Party with me. Bought a controller charging station, one additional joy con controller and two additional basic controllers for multiplayer use. Overall a great system!

This console is fun for the entire house. When we travel, we take it with us to make car trips easier and less dull. Plenty of games, old and new. It’s fun for the kids and adults.

While I had a hiccup and needed it fixed, I have been playing it almost every day I've had it for hours. Animal crossing, Story of seasons, Sakuna. It has helped me through a lot of pain I have been going through and medication induced haze. Reason I chose the gray version was they were out of the animal crossing edition when I bought it, and figured gray wouldn't clash against any skins I may get for it as well in the future. Now already I have dozens of switch games in my hands, a must have gaming platform for anyone no matter what side of the "war" you are on.

My daughter loves her Switch. And I was glad to actually find one in stock at Best Buy at the actual retail price, not some ridiculous inflated price! By no fault of Best Buy, the only hinderance I had with this was setting up the online platform. We had to seemingly set up 2 accounts and it's hard to link things. Otherwise if you know gaming systems, you can't go wrong with this set up. It's nice have the shelf platform for home use but easily being able to pull it out to take it on the go.

I considered getting the Lite version, but I am glad I went with this one. I love love love the versatility and how smoothly it switches from one method to the other! I haven’t owned a handheld gaming system since the Sony PSP back in ‘08 so it has been a while and I am glad I caved and got this. I can’t put it down! The sound and picture quality is pretty impressive too. I would say the only thing I wasn’t excited about is the price. It’s pretty expensive but do also understand why what with all the provided accessories and versatility of the device. I just wish it was a little more affordable. Overall I am satisfied with this purchase.

We love our switch in this house. It holds a charge for days and easy to use. Great for kids to play together and so many game options.

I've been on the fence about getting a Switch for a while now, but after reading lots of reviews, I thought well it has to be great. I'm so glad I got it! Really enjoy the versatility the Switch has to offer, and fun games as well. The only thing that is weird for me is the controls being opposite of an xbox, which is just something I have to get used to. I haven't had a Nintendo since the NES, and gotten so used to xbox controls, again something that will get better in time. The Switch fits perfectly in my big hands, but will be getting a controller adapter to help that. Looking forward to years of enjoyment out of this!

Use it for traveling, college actually everywhere. So far the best Nintendo that I ever own. Games are kind of expensive but worth it

Very entertaining and is easy to use! The quality is great. I bought one last year and its working with no problems. Had to get another this year too!

I’ve been having lots of fun with this Switch.. So much so, that we ended up getting a second one! Best handheld gaming system. So many advantages with the different features and play styles it offers. I can’t say the graphics are very pretty when using dock mode, but the condensed pixel count on the portable screen is what the hardware is better suited to handle.. Which is a reason I would primarily recommend a Switch for playing in portable mode. Having it on the go when you have spare time or on a road trip for example is a huge selling point. Even just chilling at home - from anywhere in your house.

Easy to use, can be played on the go or plugged into the TV very easy. The Joy-cons can be used together or for 2 players. Fun and entertaining gaming system.

Easy to setup and get started playing. Game cartridges are small but are easy to get in and out of the console. My newer TV automatically recognizes when I’ve started the switch so I don’t have to select the input source. I like that the joy-cons can be charged on the console, so you don’t have to buy extra accessories to get started. I recommend getting the extra storage disk to insert into the console to store games instead of buying the physical game cartridges. It automatically downloads the games onto your console after you purchase it online. Download does take a while, though.

I am a huge Nintendo fan and always have been. The switch has so many great games under its belt already. whatever your genre is, you can find a new favourite in the ever growing library. The portability of the system is another great quality for those who like to play games on the road. I have travelled internationally with my switch and it helps out on the long commutes for me. Wherever I go, my switch fits nicely in any bag and it’s always ready for when I have a few minutes to enjoy it. For first time buyers, be sure to pick up a screen protector, they are worth every penny!

What the Nintendo Switch lacks in graphical output or sheer power, it makes up for in portability and ease of use. I was able to get lucky and find this Switch while checking the Best Buy website randomly and immediately added to cart and checked out. Lots of great flagship Nintendo games as well as more and more third party games being added which adds variety to the game pool. Online is much cheaper than XBox live, but also lacks some of the features. You may get more out of online if you already have friends with a Switch/Switch lite. All in all, a great buy regardless of age.

I could wow you with a lot of words, but let me just sum it up with five words. Just Buy It. No Regrets. I move around a lot, and having a device that lets me take my games with me - sitting in the airport, mid-flight, taxi ride - I didn't know how great it would be until I actually did it. In the middle of the pandemic - it allows me to easily play games with friends all over the country. Like I said, I could go on, but you're reading this review because you want someone to help you make a decision to buy this. Here's your permission - go buy it. You won't regret it.

The Nintendo Switch is a great console for busy adults who want to reminisce about the fun they had 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. The Switch doesn't take itself too seriously but that means it might not be the right choice for people concerned with the perfect graphic or gameplay experience - there are dedicated consoles that do this much better. What the Switch does is make gaming on the go effortless, fun for the average busy person and something you can really enjoy with your whole family - which is what we do in our home.

I Purchase the original switch a week and a half before I realized that there was a updated model released in the Red box, so I was able to return it and get the newer version. I’m glad I did, the battery life on the new one is way better than the original switch was. I usually use it in docked mode but when I do use it in handheld mode it is great to not always worry about battery life I am happy with the purchase

Home run on Nintendo's part. It is perfectly priced and is surprisingly powerful for such a little console (not to mention its portable!)

Fun console, great assortment of games. Definitely want to get the accessory pack as the controllers w/o the snap in things are a little small.
