Customer Ratings & Reviews

Gone... they were all gone, GameStop, target, Walmart everywhere, but for some reason I decided to check Best Buy every once in a while. One day I saw that it was in stock, I thought it might have been a glitch in the system but sure enough when I got that confirmation email and the pick up email it was all real. I recommend to do check the website or app often, it does come back in stock every once in a while since I’ve checked in again before and saw it in go in stock (Most likely one or two in stock at a time cuz it immediately goes out of stock). So if you see it in stock TAKE ADVANTAGE IMMEDIATELY!! Now to the ACTUAL review it’s everything to be expected, amazing. I wanted the switch because I wanted a hand held gaming system like the psp (RIP old friend) while also being able to be active and play with friends like the regular wii, and this was the perfect fit. I did get the 256 Sandisk memory card cuz a friend says the storage goes quickly, plus there was a massive sale on it so it was worth it. Very fun and I’m glad I was able to snag one.

Say what you will about Nintendo but this device has brought more joy to my wife and I than our ps4 or previously owned Xbox ever could. Hell it’s even better than playing on my pc and I am a stickler for fast performance and high quality graphics. The reason I say all of this is simple: the switch is just plain fun. The games can help you kill time like nothing else and the ability to alternate handheld and full screen is the best idea ever. It is almost dangerous how much time one could spend playing the multitude of fantastic titles on this system. Open world titles can look a little blurry and antialiasing is nonexistent in games like Zelda but it is extremely easy to look past the flaws because at the end of the day it is about the fun you are having. Don’t hesitate on this console...get it when you have $300 saved up. Also for $20 a YEAR for Nintendo Switch Online you get access to tons of old snes and nes classics plus Tetris 99 and other little freebies. Well worth every penny!

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

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

Very solid console, perfect for casual gaming. It’s very portable and has a decent battery life.

Good quality and reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Amazing device! I look the quality and games - it reminds me of my PSP - the handheld is perfect!

tldr; Get this, don't get the Switch Lite. It is a great system for almost any type of gamer. I've been a console gamer since 1984 when my parents bought me an Atari 2600. Most of my life I was a die-hard Nintendo fan. While my gaming preferences have evolved over the last 10-15 years (PlayStation fanboy nowadays) I've still owned every Nintendo (and Xbox) system that's been released, even if they were primarily played by my boys. This Switch however is MINE (my son has had one since launch.) I love that it is a cross between a portable and a console. I love that I can play it on the go, or during downtime in another game (ie; waiting for a party to fill in Final Fantasy XIV.) 32GB is NOTHING so make sure to pick up a micro SD card right away (still mad that Sony mad the Vita memory cards proprietary) And if you're like me and prefer to buy digital games vs physical, be warned that it will need a quick internet check each time you start a game (which tbh, there may be a workaround that I haven't looked into yet) which was a bummer when I was planning on playing some Smash Bros. on a recent flight but couldn't... If you are trying to decide between this and the Switch Lite - Get this model! The flexibility of being able to detach the Joy-Cons and to play it seamlessly on your TV is WELL worth the extra cost.

Switched up from the switch lite back to the normal switch. Why? Screen size! I missed the screen size immensely playing my fav game of nba 2k! You dont realize the little extra you get vs the lite makes a world of diffrence. Screen looks amazing runs flawlessly and comfortable in your hands. Seemlessly connects to wifi and now a uodate makes it bluetooth compatible with wireless headphones. Amazing games to play on this switch and i use it 90% handheld but nice have option to put on tv. Battery life on this is outstanding way better then first model and then the lite. I can actually play graphic heavy games and not feel like i need to have a cord by me after a few hours. Why didnt i just wait for oled model? 1. Most oled screens ive ever had got burn in. 2. This "old" model has the better larger battery that the new oled model will have but that fancy screen will def drain it faster so your essentially going to swap a fancier screen thats only better in handheld mode for worse battery life. 3. I didnt want a handheld to be partially white as itll easily show wear and dirt. 4. Its even more expensive by 50 bucks and didnt see the value in paying almost 400 bucks and the fact you prob wont get hands on one anytime soon unless you preordered one.

If you’re on the fence about getting a Switch, don’t hesitate. I got one of these for my family and it’s been a blast. All the games we have are super fun and run smoothly. I personally enjoy the ability to dock and undock and take it with me wherever I go. I went for the newest model because I read it has improved battery. I’m looking forward to having this for a long time and expanding my collection.

Works as expected, We had a Switch lite but now we can play together.

Great system to play by yourself or with friends and family! Has a nice amount of titles to choose from. Nice and portable to play on the go, but also nice to be able to dock and play on a big screen. Battery life is nice and also has lots of apps you can download onto it as well.

it was really good quallity and my kids loved it so much nothing was wrong with i would say that this is the perfect birthday or chrismas present for a kid or someone who likes to play video games

Great device ! Games are fun and being able to take the console anywhere is a plus

My boyfriend bought this for me as a gift and I’ve been obsessed with it since. I’m a huge smash bros fan so I love playing the Mario games. It is perfect for beginning gamers.

This is by far the best hand held o have had since Gameboy. You really can not go wrong with Nintendo

I own a PS4 and an Xbox One X and I sat there wondering one day Where are the games like Mario now? I’m glad I made this purchase. Make sure to get the newer version with the longer battery life. Or just keep it docked. Great fun for the family.

I bought my Switch at launch so this review is kind of late, mind you. After owning it for over 2 and 1/2 years now I have been able to put this device to the test and, although not perfect, fits my expectations. The battery life when in handheld mode is the only downside, besides no 4K graphics, which I believe should have been integrated into it given the fact that other older systems have been able to achieve. I do like the fact that you can take it with you everywhere so that’s a plus. The games library is what keeps me interested in the system as I am a diehard Nintendo fan since I was a child. If Nintendo ever upgraded to a 4K model I would sink right in! I would love to see my favorite franchises such as Mario, Zelda and Pokémon in 4K glory.

This is my first Nintendo since the Wii and I was ecstatic to be entering the Nintendo Sphere once more. I've had the Switch for a good while now and haven't slowed down yet. I play 70% handheld and the rest of the time docked. I have small hands, but haven't had a problem holding the unit since the first day. The joy-cons are okay for handheld, but I've found that I prefer the pro controller when playing docked. The system itself is very smooth, only issue is the e-shop but that's another story. I chose to go fully digital so I purchased a 1TB micro sd and only have 300+ gigs remaining (so sad). This is a great system for at home or on the go gaming.

This console is to die for i kid you not . I can play on tv and if im still playing i can just take the single game with me wireless i love it
