Customer Ratings & Reviews

First of all, let me just recommend, if you've been stalking Best Buy's website to try and get hold of one of these, call stores instead. Seriously. Any time you're near one and have a free few minutes, try. I'd been waiting for a restock for weeks, hoping to snag one, and just happened to be two hours from home meeting a friend for lunch, and called the store next door to the restaurant. Imagine my absolute surprise when the gentleman on the phone said sure, they had a few in stock, but 'only' the neon ones. Only, he says. XD The battery is honestly its weakest point in my opinion, and that's only because I'm deep into Breath of the Wild, and with a game so demanding, the battery lasts at the low end of the range, at just about 3 hours. A good quality battery pack will fix that, but I won't be using it for those 12+ hour flights back and forth from NZ without having to stop and let it recharge, and hope I can find an available outlet at the airport to sneak in some extra gameplay. In docked mode, I've had no issues with overheating or scratches, and my screen protector's adhesive hasn't melted away or anything like that. Although I have to admit I play it in tablet mode far more often (once you get into the game, you really don't notice the screen size or resolution that much unless you purposefully *think* about it. It's more than sufficiently sized for as close as you'll be to it in handheld mode that you won't have any issues). In tabletop mode, I highly recommend investing in a little $10-20 tablet stand so 1. It sits sturdier than if you just used the kickstand 2. More options for viewing angles than just the one the kickstand provides and 3. You can charge it while you use it, because as I'm sure you know, the charging port is on the bottom, and so can't be used with its built in kickstand while charging. I understand why they put it where they did, so there would be no need for extraneous cables to plug into with the dock, but it is a little annoying in tabletop mode to have to pause for it to charge or switch to handheld. The tablet stand fixes that. The Joy Cons are surprisingly comfy to use independently of each other, one in each hand resting on the table or at your sides while playing games like Zelda, and while I may invest in the Pro Controller at some point just so I have it to use, or as a spare for friends for Mario Kart and the like, it's not necessary, for me anyway (Of course, I'm a female with average sized hands, your mileage may vary!) I've had no issues with the left Joy Con disconnecting, in fact the only time I've had issues was playing Mario Kart in handheld and the left controller unlatched from the tablet. Don't trust the little animations on the sides of the screens when you reattach them, they aren't always accurate. Make *sure* you hear the tell-tale click. All in all, I recommend this wholeheartedly. It's a solid system, it does what it says on the box, and I couldn't be happier with it.

It’s really nice, and I like how you can download the games!!

Everyone in the family can play kids adults everyone loves it

Great console! I will recommend this product! My son love it!

This is better than the DS!! My kids left the DS in the dust.

I bought the switch for my kids and they love it. They have A few games Mario kart and Mario Bros U Deluxe are a couple. I am a Mario lover so I also get to play with them. We have so much fun. My daughter is 16 and my son is 10 we have a blast. So far no issues with anything. Easy setup and lots of fun.

Does everything advertised. Great little console to travel with.

Got this as a portable/stationary gaming console for my son. Nintendo has always been a great '1st Console' and I expect this will do just that as well as provide entertainment for the whole family

Great game its only a kids but adult can play on it its a very nice game

My kid loves to play on the go and this is the perfect choice

I been looking to get a Switch for the long while not many choices at my locals some are pricey depending on what you're looking to get. I am happy to get one at Best Buy. Playing it on my recently purchase LG TV it's great! I would prefer this model if you enjoy playing on the big screen!

Purchased for a Christmas present and the kids just loved...

This game has a great interface the console is very easy to use it's good that you can go from handheld to television also the selection of games is good for beginners and for kids and adults.

Christmas Present For My Grandson, I Know he will Love it Ty

Graphics are amazing, great quality item. Fun for the family

The whole family even the kids love this! Super fun nights!!

The versatility of this machine is what drew me to purchase it. It sets up extremely quickly right out of the box. It is everything it is made out to be! You have the fun of a system you can play on your big tv and the option to take games with you on the go! Have had it opened since Christmas and have enjoyed it immensely! Highly recommend!

My kids love it.. my son has been wanting one for a very very long time and trying to find one at a reasonable price was nearly impossible but I was actually glad I was able to get it thanks

Awesome for car trips and vacations. Battery life holds well. Very entertaining for young kids. Awesome selection of family friendly titles. Well worth the money.
