Customer Ratings & Reviews

So a little background, I was an enthusiastic PC gamer in college who built my own PCs for the purpose and am now - due to the demands of adulthood - someone who only plays the occasional game. My last handheld Nintendo console was the black and white Game Boy Pocket in the early '90s, so I've been away from the platform ---- a while. I bought the Switch purely because I learned they had ported Skyrim to it, and as a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls genre, I was hoping to devote some of my train commutes to questing around Tamriel. In this sense, the Switch does not disappoint. I am not a graphics connoisseur, but - compared to the PC version - Skryim plays really well on the Switch. No perceptible lag, colors are crisp. Yes, it's missing the expansions and yes, the text can be a little small, but that's a fair trade-off for the portability this platform brings. So far, I only own 2 games - Skyrim and MarioKart 8 (another throwback to my college dorm days on the N64), and I love playing both on the Switch, MaroKart is obviously the newer game and so the graphics and gameplay are much better but I'm a still a sucker for Skyrim (at least until the next ES is released, hopefully in my lifetime). Anyway, all this to say 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 (which I love) 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 I think was Nintendo's real goal here all along.

My daughter loves her Nintendo Switch. She loves that she can take it wherever she goes.

My kiddo loves it, and it’s very practical for play at home and away!

I love the color.perfect to play in family. The battery is super long

Very user friendly system. Fun games. Can’t beat classic Mario games!

This is a very good way to entertain and relax after a long day of work.

Christmas gift, daughter loves it. I am happy we can take on the go. Very user friendly.

Loved it everything about it they way you can take it apart an play at different places.

I finally got my hands on one thanks Best Buy! I love it!!!!

Overall, this is the perfect console for this generation. The game selection has increased overtime with great titles such as Octopath Traveler, Pokemon Let's GO Pikachu/Eevee and Smash Bros Ultimate. It's important to buy a few accessories with this console such as a screen protector and a carrying case for gaming on the go. The Switch comes with a lighter and cleaner box than the previous Wii U and Wii Consoles. All of the included parts such as the Joy-Cons, are separated into their own little compartments and the system setup doesn't take too long. My advice in the long run would be to save your money for additional accessories for the Switch such as a Pro Controller or GameCube controller for local multiplayer. I would recommend this to anyone especially for it's wide variety of 3rd party games coming to the Switch such as MK11. Don't miss out on this!
