Customer Ratings & Reviews

As an adult who grew up on games, I am in heaven. I will have to limit my game purchases and time spent playing or else I won't do ANYTHING else. Handheld brings me back to my gameboy and tabletop/in the dock for multiplayer is so much fun for everyone in my house... when I let them play with me.

Great for young children and adults. Game selection has pretty good variety for younger children as well. My children are 5 and 7 so other game systems did not have too much child friendly content. The switch has the most games for younger children and I like thatg it can be converted into a handheld that can still be used by multiple players

I got my Switch the night it launched. I'm not a huge gamer but I feel so nostalgic playing Nintendo games. I love being able to play these games on the TV and also take them with me if I want to play in bed, in my backyard, at a friend's house, or on vacation. One month after getting my Switch, I had a flight and I couldn't wait to play a full Nintendo game on a plane (just like the Switch announcement video! -- I haven't found a rooftop party yet). I never had a problem with the battery running out too early -- maybe I never played long enough at once -- but it was always in the back of my mind that it might become an issue if I forgot to have it fully charged before taking it with me. Then Nintendo surprised us this summer and began producing Switches that have a better battery life. (From what I've read, the battery is the same but the processor is more efficient, using up less of the battery.) It was hard parting with my beloved launch night Switch but I was happy to upgrade. I'm very happy with the improved battery life.

I love this game console, I’m so happy I got it when I did. This model has the extended battery life. Very easy set up. Games are easy to get, they update fast, and I like how controller movements interact with some games (like Mario Odyssey). No regrets buying this, I recommend it to anyone.

I gave these to 2 if my kids fir Christmas. One is 29 years old and the other is 15! Both of them love it! It is very versatile as it can be played as a portable hand held game system and it can hook up to a tv or monitor for big screen play! Lots if ganes and accessories to choose from! Great value!

Easy to use and very comfortable in my 5 y/o sons hand. Easy to use and set up too! This is our 3rd unit. It’s sold out online, good thing I was able to get the last one at the store a couple of weeks ago. This the version 2. I noticed the battery lasted 2 hrs longer than our old ones.

Excellent system! love that its a portable console that can be played anywhere.

I'm truly impressed with the easy set up. It's also nice that it can go with you or be used as a stationary console. The only negative would be the size of the controllers. I know you can purchase adapters, but it would be nice to have them as part of the main purchase.

Love it. I am constantly getting pulled in all directions, and this is the only video game system that allows me to stop at any point and continue at a later time (most conveniently anyway). Also, the Switch is a haven for JRPGS, so if you are a JRPG nerd, the Switch is bliss.

Nice gaming product. It was a gift for my son. He loves it.

We love our switch as a family. It doesn't have the horsepower that some of the systems do but it has a lot of fun things for everyone and the portability as well as being able to play it on the big screen is awesome! Lots of great game choices and a well though out store and online platform.

I've never taken the time to write a positive review for a game console, so that says a lot in itself. Especially being an owner of a gaming PC, Xbox One and many previous gen consoles. This little guy hits the ball out of the park for me. This is the kind of power I've been wanting to see out of a portable device for quite some time. One thing I really need to say is, any cons that any reviewer is out writing about this product I consider a great decision for Nintendo to have made during production. For example, who cares if the screen is plastic? If you want/need to, add a glass protector. Nintendo did what they could to get the Switch to it's $300 price point. If the price were any higher, it would have flopped. Or at least, it would have taken the route VR has with Oculus. Great tech, but just a little too pricey. Honestly, if the devs built a headset with cheaper plastics and whatnot, I'd feel for comfortable purchasing one. Point is, I don't think Nintendo could have done a better job with it's launch of the Switch leaving consumers like myself wanting more. All I can hope for now is interesting software updates and future games from third parties.

This console is amazing! The joycon controllers release from the portable touch screen that can dock and project from your television, which makes for some very organic gameplay/controller handling. Vast selection of games that are super nostalgic for most 80's-90's kids.

I bought this for my son for Christmas and he loves this game system, I like that he can take it with him to places and I don't have to worry about those long drives. I also like that some of the games were free and I enjoyed playing them also. This is a must buy!!

Excellent easy to install. Games were a lot of fun. I will enjoy playing with my grandson.

Not only is it a great home system but a near perfect portable. Runs zelda smoothly. Easy to use Powerful. Controllers are sweet. Splits in two for homes with kids. Pro. Affordable $300 to start Games range from $7.99 to $60 bucks Download games. Don't have to Change cartridges and loose/scratch games Portable or home system. It's like owning two systems in one unit. Has all my favorite family friendly games. Mario, Zelda, Mario kart, Tetris I can go on forever I'll stop there Cons. Wifi is far from best but you can hard wire it. Left controller was having issues but Nintendo fixed in in four days for free In portable mode controls hurt my thumbs because I have to bend my thumbs out. But I can take controls off side of system

The Switch excels as a console for multiple local players, with classics like Mario Kart and Mario Party providing hours of entertainment. What sets it apart from the more powerful Xbox and PS consoles are its portability. Great way to stay entertained during flights and travel.

Great family friendly console. Got a few games I used to play when I was young and the kids love them. Glad I get to share it with them

The Switch is a really fun, easy to navigate console that offers something for everyone. There are some games that are geared more towards teens/adults and plenty of family/kid friendly games as well. Plus, it's the home of Mario. Who doesn't love a good Mario game?

Love it! The storage is a little small and the controls took a little getting used to but overall the switch is great.
