Customer Ratings & Reviews

So I was skeptical about the Switch. I have a PS4 and an Xbox One S, so why another console? (Oh, and a nice PC, too) Social Gaming. Fun. I’m partial to the PS4 for “serious” gaming, but it really hard to beat the switch. Hard to beat it for having 3 generations in the room playing Mario Kart—father-in-law, my wife & I, and our daughter all playing together. Hard to beat it for playing a serious game on the go. Playing Divinity Original Sin 2 when the kids are watching TV, or into the night before going to bed. I still love my PS4, in particular, but I’d tell you to get a switch if you like local offline multiplayer and Nintendo’s catalog. Which is great.

I’ve always gamed with Nintendo and I am never disappointed with their consoles. This holds true with the Switch! Amazing games, super convenient, and great game selection.

Decided to finally buy a switch after a long debate about what I would actually play on it. And I have to say I’ve spent far more time playing it than I thought I actually would, between the switch games them self and the virtual console for NES and SNES titles included with the online subscription. Took this on a cross country plane trip and was pleased the battery lasted the entire time I was in the air, this was by far one of my favorite purchases of 2019. Pros: Ease of use Mobility Accessibility to virtual console offline Inexpensive online membership compared to others Cons: Can become uncomfortable holding the entire unit for long play sessions

I had an original Nintendo from 1989 and I hadn't played it for like 20 years. When they brought it back into the light I was like I had one of those. I had been eyeballing consoles just to see what was out there and I do remember playing on the Wii when it came out cuz my niece had it, but still never bought it. PS2 and other consuls also never grabbed my attention; obviously a Nintendo baby at heart. Then I saw a commercial for this Switch and I was like I am doing it, I deserve it and I was super grabbed by the portability and just thinking about playing Mario again...lol I am so glad I waited for the switch. Gamers here I come!!

The Nintendo Switch has really been a great console for my needs. When it was originally announced I was worried that it would have the same problems as the Wii U. I was proven wrong, it has a great selection of games including third party and retro style games. The battery life on this new model is much improved and this is my go to device for travel. I have taken it to Japan and if you have a battery pack it will last for the flight. For parents, there is a large selection of child friendly games and of course there is Mario and Link. This is a great buy and you will be happy with your purchase.

Nintendo almost nailed it out of the park with their newest game system by playing video games on the go or on your big screen tv with the Switch. But as with their previous console, WiiU, they still have a little ways to go before they perfect this hybrid game machine. I love the screen size on the Switch, the enhanced battery life of the newest model, the versatility of controller options but not a fan of the directional pad/analog stick on the Joy-Cons, imperfections of Joy-Cons when snapped on the Switch (my left Joy-Con wiggles when attached), Joy-Con replacements are $80 which is ridiculous and some gamers are experiencing the notorious Joy-Con drift where the controller doesn’t register input..so I’m basically not really liking the Joy-Con controllers. Also the home screen is functional but really basic and cumbersome. Where the Switch really shines though is getting the home console gaming experience and having the option of going portable with a comparable experience. The Switch portable screen is 720p and when docked, the Switch can output 1080p on your tv. The Switch graphics are adequate and comparable to the Xbox 360/PS3 era so yeah, they’re a tad outdated. But with Nintendo, they have never been a game company pushing the limits when it comes to visuals. They rely on hardware innovations and with their latest game console, they have almost perfected their newest creation!

Great quality, value, and easy to use. Multiplayer options and portability are also perks. Variety of great games available for purchase as well. Definitely recommend.

Amazing console overall! Games- 5/5 System tech- 5/5 Easy to use- 5/5 Mobility- 5/5 Price 5/5 Family games 100/5 Honestly just buy it. End of story!

The Nintendo Switch is a great system and I feel another classic, as much a the original in the 80's. The fact that its both a portable system and also has a base to use on your home TV is perfect! I loved this fact, as it can go on the road, while having the huge screen at home. Kids can take it to their friends and also can have multiple players at once, so they can all enjoy together, depending on the game and an extra attachment. I'm really happy also to see the vast amount of games for different age levels and the crisp graphics and sharp screen. Worth the money spent, and you won't regret it!

I managed to snag this one by camping on the website all day and night and following online alerts to tell me when the Switches were being restocked. It was a major hassle, but I'm glad I went through it because the Switch is worth it. The console itself has such a small footprint compared to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. With the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X looking to be such massive bricks that look more at home at a computer desk than an entertainment center, it's relieving to still have a system that doesn't get in the way of anybody's preferred gaming setup. The systems UI itself is very nice and clean too, it's very easy to navigate and get to where you want to go to once you put in a few minutes to get the hang of it. Once again it contrasts with the other two major consoles that throw so much more information at you at once, it can feel a bit cluttered by comparison. The game library is outstanding too. I already own six games and still there are more I'm interested in buying too. Some of them are just releases and updates of Wii U games, so if you already had that you may not have as many games to play, but if you're like the majority and never bought that you'll benefit from all the games you missed the first time around. Plus, having all of Nintendo focused on the Switch instead of being divided between a handheld and console means there will be plenty of first party support to come. There are three downsides that I should mention. The first being that because it's Nintendo, you better be prepared to pay $60 for most of your games. The games on other consoles generally drop to $20 or $30 only a few months after they first launch, but Nintendo almost never lets their games drop in price. You'll have to keep an eye out for major sales if you want to save some money on these titles. The second downside is that the joy cons that come with the system just don't cut it for playing most games. They're designed to work with the Switch in handheld mode, but I feel they're inadequate for long gaming sessions. You'll need to buy a Switch Pro Controller if you plan on mostly playing the Switch docked. Finally, the on system memory is insufficient if you want to store a lot of games digitally. You'll have to buy a microSD card if you don't want to constantly delete and re-download games. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and would recommend it to people who like Nintendo games. Just be aware of the hidden costs that come with owning one.

I had reservations about purchasing a new Nintendo console, fearing it would be too similar to the Nintendo DS or that it would leave a lot to be desired like the Wii. The Nintendo switch was neither, and has provided the perfect combination of nostalgic Nintendo titles and new technology features. The switch makes it easy to transition from the big screen to a handheld device seamlessly. My only recommendation would be to opt for a bundle that packages an additional card for additional memory, or take advantage of physical copies of games to save space on the available storage.

I haven’t owned a Nintendo system since GameCube. With work disrupted due to covid I wanted to get back in and had my eyes on the new Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. The switch is so versatile. You can play on the big screen or as a hand held. Tons of accessories to make playing comfortable. You can also buy extra docking stations to add to other TVs if you want. Great selection of games. I think for hard core gamers you will still be looking at PS or Xbox, but this is a great complement to those systems in your collection. Highly recommend.

This is a fantastic portable game console and the greatest handheld gaming system to date. The Nintendo Wii & WiiU were complete garbage. The Nintendo Switch however, is something I am proud to own and play, whether at home or on the road. Lots of fantastic games are available. While it's not the best system to play online multiplayer with and you miss out on certain games like Call of Duty, Madden, and Grand Theft Auto...it's the best Nintendo system since the Super Nintendo and with games like Smash Brothers and Mario Kart, everyone who gets to play will have a blast.

The Nintendo Switch is great for all ages. I'm a middle-aged guy and the you know Nintendo has a crazy amount of exclusive games you have no choice but to get this if you want to play them. Awesome to have mobile on the go option. Bringing it with you everywhere you go with pretty decent battery life which is much improved on the V2 version of the Switch. Ability to buy docks is nice to set up multiple stations around the house for use. Games are great and it is honestly an awesome device, especially for the price.

This was a gift for my younger soon. I honestly thought it was going to be lame and he would get bored after a few weeks. I could not have been more wrong. This this is amazing. It is so much fun. The newer hardware has great battery life. We play family games on it and there are more titles than I had expected. Special not the game- starlink battle for atlas- is so much fun and replay on it is always changing. The Switch is a very fun and versatile system. Fun for small kids, teens and adults. I even sneak in when he is sleeping and play.

I bought this for myself (Animal Crossing!) but my kiddos also love it and can use it easily. Very simple to set up. The controllers are a bit flimsy and the buttons are very small (you have to buy the other controllers for larger buttons). Controllers are wireless and keep a very long charge (have only charged once since purchase)

I was on the fence about purchasing this for an extended period of time. I decided to and purchased it from Best Buy just after Christmas. It is a great item for my personal work travel and my kids love it as well. We use it in handheld mode and purchased a 3rd party controller to use which the entire switch docks inside of as it is easier to hold for extended periods of time. I would also recommend purchasing an additional set of joycons if you have a lot of people that will be using the system. They are pricey but a must for groups.

This is my second Nintendo Switch (I gifted my older one to my girlfriend), and this version is much improved over the previous one, at least in battery life. The switch has been a great way to play multiplayer games like smash ultimate online with friends, overcooked 1 and 2 with the gf, and Tetris. In addition, there are great first party games from Nintendo. Portability is also a great feature in that you can use it on your commute on the train or plane once travel resumes.

Bought as a present to replace an old NDS XL. Battery life so far is pretty good (read that previous model had shorter life) and is fairly easy to use. Absolutely need to buy an SD card because you don’t get a lot of internal memory which is a problem with games like NBA 2k20 which requires you to do a large download to get full access to all of the game features but can’t be done without having more space than provided. Easy to connect to tv for full screen experience and easy to pick up and continue your play on the go.

I always wanted a Nintendo Switch and with being on safer at home orders, I started my search. I found the Neon Red/Blue console available at BestBuy and immediately went through the checkout process to ship it ASAP. I love this gaming console because I can play either on my TV or in handheld mode, which I love. I enjoy the games like Mario Odyssey and Animal Crossing. My family loves the system too. This console has brought back my love for gaming. I am addicted again. Thanks Nintendo!
