Customer Ratings & Reviews

Looked around and couldn’t find better price. Nice option to get with Best Buy credit card. Luckily was in stock at the store. Works as expected.

I stopped console gaming in the mid-2000's and stopped PC gaming in the late 2000's. Mainly a casual mobile/phone gamer up until now. The Switch and its unique hybrid set-top and handheld format is perfect for someone like me who doesn't have much time to sit in front of a television at home.

Santa brought this for my daughter . She has enjoyed it . The battery life is good . Very convenient to have a dock to charge , so always easily found . The picture on the televion is amazing . Would definitely recommend to a friend.

Love the longer batter life. This was switch 3in my home and I had an older model and the batter sucked. This once is easily 2x batter life. Great for when we are not home. The older one works fine when I plan to just play on the tv only

Use is relatively intuitive, controls take some getting used to but they're not bad at all. I love the portability. The game collection isn't the best out there, but it's getting better and has a lot of legitimate can't-miss titles. Worth the buy!

The Switch is a great console. One of Nintendo's best consoles in a while. Nice to finally get further removed from the old motion detection controls that the Wii introduced and returning to more traditional controller layouts. The size, shape and abilities of the Switch are all very good. I really like that Nintendo makes their consoles to be just a console and focus on only games. I'd appreciate a Netflix app, but I'll take this instead of diluting what this hardware is. Love the simple, easy menus. The controls feel pretty good. The Joy Con controllers are just fine. The Switch screen is great. Just the right size I'd say. It's smooth, clear and feels perfect for a gaming experience. It feels great when holding it. I ended up playing it more so as a handheld, since my TV is small and it's easier to see finer details and text up close. The Switch will give you the ability to do 2 player with the two Joy Cons, such as playing Mario Kart 8, but people will probably find the tiny size of the Joy Cons awkward or uncomfortable when first introduced to them. Perhaps these were built for small children in mind, since their hands are smaller than adults. But still, no additional purchase of a second controller is necessary in order for two people to play together. Most other consoles today don't provide you with that. The docking station is good. Works really well. Switches between handheld and docked states very quickly and easily. The Switch appeared to keep battery well, though I rarely played a session long enough to really tell how long it could last. Make sure you cover the screen with a protector before docking!! There is an online, Nintendo store on the console, where you can download demos, see latest news on upcoming games or recent/popular games as well as buy a digital copy of a game to download, if you don't prefer physical copies of games. If for some reason, you remove that digital game from your console, you can always go back and re-download it, as that purchase is tied to your Nintendo account. The only thing that I felt was not as advertised was the ease of removing the Joy Con controllers off the Switch, while the Switch was in its docking station. In the trailers for the Switch it looks smooth and easy, in reality, you have to hold down the "release" buttons and pull them out, one at a time, while holding the Switch to make sure it didn't get pulled out of it's docking station. But that's a minor flaw. That's only if you need to remove them, which I didn't do often as, again, I used it mostly in it's handheld form. In conclusion, I had a pretty good time using the Nintendo Switch. I think they did such a great job designing and implementing this new console. I imagine this console is going to be around for a while.

The Nintendo Switch was the perfect gift. It lets two players play. Enjoying Mario games and Harry Potter Lego. So many games available to add to your collection.

The Nintendo Switch is a super device -- I really love it and I have yet to connect it to my TV! I am so far only using it as a handheld and the performance can't be beat. I know that once I DO plug it into my TV, I'll love that as well -- but for now, I can't get enough "gaming on the go!"

The Nintendo switch is an amazing console. I thought the whole mobile aspect was going to just be an added feature that I would never utilize, I was dead wrong. I play more as a mobile than a console. The graphics are beautiful and the details within Zelda: Breath of the wild are stunning.

Fire! I was skeptical about purchasing this since I'm a die hard Xbox fan but I figured I'd give this handheld a chance. I actually purchased for my son for Christmas but after playing around with it I decided to keep it for myself.

I'm pretty impressed with the screen quality for how portable it is, battery life seems good. I do notice some lag but that's to be expected

Primarily a PC user, the switch became a system I fell in love with at a friends place. The games Ive played are all really well designed, they all run very well, look amazing for how portable the system is, and mostly all run really smooth regardless of exporting the video to a TV or playing handheld. Some games will benefit you getting a different style controller - for instance for Monster Hunter Rise you likely will have a much easier and comfortable time with even a $25 dollar budget Non-JoyCon controller.

Very easy setup. I love how Nintendo has rebounded from the Wii U (which my kids keep telling me I still call this a ‘Wii’) with this gem. For lack of a better term, this is a merger of the DS and Wii lines - it accomplishes both little and big screen well. Lots of games and more coming.

I bought my switch about 2 weeks ago with my dad and sister and we all love it! I don't think the switch has gotten a break since we brought it home. I really love the controllers and the fact that there are no batteries needed and they charge really quickly!

I've had mine since day one and the overall rating then would've been either a 3 or 4 based on the limited game selection then. Now 11/3/17 and I give it a 5 due to how much Nintendo has upped the ante with their game selection and bring 3rd party support to the Switch. I love this system!

Looking for a gift for 8 yo and possibly the entire family? Get one. They travel easy, purchase games from the actual handheld, play on a TV with the entire family, and age appropriate games. I would get a warranty tho. This isn’t a cheap gift but we have all enjoyed playing together. You will need to get more controllers for group playing. Our favorite is Super Mario cart for obvious reasons.

Ordered this to keep my son busy during spring break. Game works fine. He loves it! It just took longer then the associate said it would to deliver to my house. Next time I will just go to the next store and see if they have it before ordering.

Great game. No lag times. Easy to operate back age group of 8yr up. Gift for my great nephew. He was able to set up himself and had it working in less than 15min

I had been holding out on buying this console since I try not to buy into the hype of new stuff. I'm so glad i got it though. User friendly, can have more than one profile for multiple users. It's very light and comfortable to use in handheld mode. So far i like this more than my 3ds xl!

Bought this as a gift, and they loved it. I recommend buying a Zagg screen protector for this product because the glass scratches easily. I also purchased a travel case a few weeks later for ease of keeping everything together. Would highly recommend.
