Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch is officially the best console I have owned since the PS2 days. Game selection is excellent and growing more by the week. I have three children and I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to playing video games. Portable mode remedies this by allowing me to play in quick spurts when I have time here and there. The ability to plug into a TV when I want to play a longer session is very convenient and just adds to the versatility of this system. Graphically, this system won't come close to Sony, Microsoft or a dedicated gaming PC, but that is not why you would purchase this system in the first place. I feel that games like Doom and Wolfenstein showcase that you don't need top notch specs to make an enjoyable gaming experience. If you need the best of the best as far as graphics are concerned, look elsewhere, this is not that system. However if you want the convenience of playing your games on the go, including AAA titles, this is the system to get. The Nintendo Switch is everything the PS Vita should have been and I look forward to seeing what titles make their way over next.

My son loves his switch. I even catch myself playing some of the older games I played as a child

The Nintendo Switch I think is one their best models. In terms of larger consoles- I wasn't terribly impressed with a system since the Gamecube. Wii was fine. But the motion control here is beyond compare. + the fact that the controls are smaller are easier on the hands. Far less clunky than those remotes. + the fact that it's portable and the screen retains such excellent game quality- a total game changer! Great title selection- very happy overall.

Before buying it for my 9 year old, I was a bit hesitate because of the remote control being small.However, when detached from the console, the remote has straps. Also, the battery life is amazingly long so when charged over night it's not constantly needing to be charged while away from home. But what I love the most is that it can be shared, its not just fun for one. If my sons brother wants to plays, it quickly turns into a gaming system that that be played by 2 or more, even my 5 year old can use the console.

This is by far the Best family game ever !! Great graphics and very nostalgic.

We had a a very hard time finding a Nintendo Switch. I tried for a few weeks and finally saw it pop up online at Best Buy and was thrilled with the communication and easy pick up at the store. My daughter is 12 and really wanted to play animal crossing with friends. She loves it. We love the flexibility of connecting it to the TV and all of us playing games too. It's a great system and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it.

The Nintendo Switch is a blast to enjoy whether you're playing by yourself or with others. There is now a huge collection of games available that's honestly difficult to keep up with. I'm an international traveler and it's been so nice being able to take my games with me overseas and on the plane. I'd absolutely recommend the system to anyone that enjoys Nintendo games, travels a lot, or just wants to complement their other gaming consoles.

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.

The Nintendo Switch is the ultimate console. Portable, powerful, great game selection. This thing has it all. I couldn't be happier.

We bought this as a Christmas present for our son...#1 thing on his list, so very excited to see his reaction on Christmas morning!

Great tech Tetris 99 endless fun Good game selection Get one if you can Nintendo doesn’t disappoint

I had the previous generation Switch console, and this one is definitely better in terms of battery life and heat. I play mostly splatoon 2, and with the old console, it would get quite warm, and get about 2-3 hours of battery life down to 0%. With this newer version of the console, the back is much cooler than previously, and after 2-3 hours, I still have roughly 30-40% left. It's the same switch otherwise, but, better battery life than the previous generation.

I can't speak to reviewing the switch as it was purchased for my twin boys. For most folks the Switch reputation speaks for itself any way. My review is more about Best Buy and the fact that they somehow managed to have a couple switches when they were sold out every where else. I am also pleased to see that the price was not jacked up due to limited supply and great demand. The item was shipped promptly and made it safely. Thanks Best Buy!

I was reluctant to purchase a new gaming console. I was perfectly content with both a PS4 and a pc for playing video games. However I was able to test out the Switch and immediately wanted one. The Switch is a great change of pace and the lineup of games is already impressive. The ability to switch between docked play on your tv and handheld is such a great feature. I was reluctant when seeing the Joy-Con controllers but they feel great in your hands and work very well. Highly, highly recommend it.

What can I say, the switch has rave reviews across the board. Obviously it doesn't have the power of the PS4 or XBO, but what it can do is offer a great gaming experience at home or on the go. Our household also has a gray model, and I like the neon controllers better but prefer the gray ones out in public. Build quality and battery life are great.

I absolutely love this console! It’s super easy to use and I love that it is a handheld/home console hybrid!

Fun console that can be played on the go with good battery life but even better docked and with friends.

The Nintendo Switch is by far one of my FAVORITE video game consoles of ALL TIME; so much so that this one is the 3rd one I've purchased, not for myself but for my Brother so he can experience the joy for himself. If you simply enjoy gaming for the "fun" aspect, do yourself a favour and GET ONE!!!

I was skeptical at first due to the high upfront cost and sparse library, but after just two years on the market I finally started seeing a lot of games that I really wanted to play from coming to this system. Now that I'm more familiar with it, I'm finding a lot more value to it than I originally thought. The portability factor is a huge plus and I think from now on, I'm going to more often than not prefer the Switch version for any multi-platform releases.

This console is a little pricey but it is worth every penny! I am able to seamlessly play on the go and then continue my gaming at home on my tv in 1 step. Battery has decent life, I am able to get a few hours of play on this without worrying about charging. I have been using this non stop for about a month and the only complaint that I have is that the joy cons are quite small when removed and playing games. If you have larger hands I would look into the joy con grips to make these larger and easier to grip.
