Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my aunt since she wanted to try out Animal Crossing. The only other game she had ever really played was Tetris but she finds the system and Animal Crossing very enjoyable and accessible.

I bought my wife the Switch as a MSW graduation gift, and she has enjoyed it so much. Its super portable, and the ability to connect to the TV via HDMI is also a very cool feature. No complaints about the Switch!

This system has got me back to playing games. Being 40 years old, I have nostalgia for Nintendo universe of games. I love being able to have it play on my tv or play on the couch. It’s amazing, buy it :-)

Decided to pick this up to replace my Switch. Better battery life, brighter screen. This is the best console Nintendo has put out since the original system when I was a kid.

What a great console. Family friendly library of games and a wonderful way to bond with family and friends. Great job, Nintendo (on making such an awesome console) and Best Buy (for a smooth delivery)!

I haven't bought a new console since the N64. Finally, an innovative and flexible gaming console worth buying again, the switch! I love how versatile the platform is, being able to play mulitplayer on the go with or without additional consoles present.

The new Switch is excellent. The battery life is definitely better than the first edition. If any gamers are looking to be on-the-go or the need of easily carrying around the house, the Switch is for you.

Bought the switch for my fiancé and he is obsessed with it. New, out of the box.

My only regret is wishing I bought it sooner! It so versatile (for playing alone, online, or with your family). It supports awesome Nintendo games, and an array of fun indie games too! Very satisfied.

Very fun and easy to play. Would recommend d buying another controller to make things easier. Joy cons are good when mobile but not the best when used as single controller. Looking to build game collection to play more.

Zelda breath of the wild and Super Mario Odyssey alone are worth buying this system. I haven’t even got to play Mario Kart yet since these are epic games, and rocket league is only $20 digital download. Literally all of my friends have a switch now too.

This new model has a much better battery life than my old one. Breath of the Wild would only last 2.5 hours on my older switch and lasts around 5 hours on this new one. Worth the upgrade if you use it for portable gaming.

I bought this for my son for his Birthday! He loves playing it on his tv and taking the portable device with him to play on the go! I recommend getting the case as well for protection while carrying!

It took my wife and I forever to find but finally nabbed one at Best Buy. The setup was easy. We did have a bit of problem connecting a separate remote but that was more operator error. Glad we got it.

I love the other consoles, but this has a special place in my heart. Being able to take my favorite games like The Legend of Zelda and Mario anywhere and in some cases share them with my friends is well worth the investment. Even if you aren't a gamer and are considering this as a gift for a young child, you won’t be disappointed. With a great game selection for children and adults, good battery life, large screen and portability, you’ll be finding yourself picking it up to play for an hour or two more often than not.

I've really needed a console like this. I don't have time to devote an entire weekend to a game and when I do have time I'm usually traveling. For me games have to be something I can put down for a day or 2 and pick back up right where I left off and take with me. Portables like the Vita and 3DS were really the only way to do that and play any kind of decent games (lets face it, the app store and play store are never going to have quality games when everything is competing at a $2-$3 price point and/or are full of ads and in-app purchases.) Portables just aren't ergonomic though and power-wise they've been pretty limited. Well, the Switch fills that gap in spectacular fashion. Pros: Ergonomics. Like all Nintendo consoles since the Wii you get your choice of a variety of control schemes but they've never been this seamless or as functional as the Joycons. The fact that I can take them off in portable mode and sit back in an airplane seat or lay down in bed with the screen in a phone holder over me is awesome. Load times: Solid state flash is back for game media (finally!) and it makes things snappy. There's no install time and running the game off physical media is as fast, if not faster, than running a downloaded game off a SATA hard drive. Interface: In keeping with the load times the interface is as clean and snappy as any good android or iOS tablet and the UI is as direct and intuitive as it gets. This is a huge improvement over the Wii U and Sony and Microsoft would do well to take note. Build quality: Nintendo finally ditched the shiny kiddie plastic feel and made something that feels like an adult device and is marketed to, adults. Cons: No apps or browser (yet?): I'm sure this is coming and they hint at it in the interface but presently there's no netflix, hulu, etc. This is obviously a change that can be made over the air and I have several other devices that also do streaming. I probably wouldn't use a broweser even if it had one since my phone's browser is going to be better and have all my favorites already. The kickstand is a bit too far to the right: unfortunately this means the switch doesn't stand up well on soft or curved surfaces and you'll have to jerry rig something or, perhaps, get a case or stand for it. I don't know if those are coming. It is a unique problem to have among consoles though. Null: These are things that I'm either ambivalent about or cancel themselves out. Games: right now, breath of the wild is an amazing game, it's spectacular. Unfortunately there's not much else out yet. Bomberman, perhaps. There's a lot of stuff coming but at the moment we're kind of just waiting.

Great system for the entire family and easy to use. We have been playing it non-stop all Holiday break. Especially great if you grew up with the original NES. Some of those games are available on it.

The Nintendo switch was a great product that I purchased in Best Buy it was at a really amazing price

Amazing Nintendo device very fun and easy to use, portable, and yet can also be used on TV! Kid Friendly!

Owning all the major platforms I can say that I was totally surprised at how wrong I was about the Switch. The Switch, in essence, is the "Un-Console" of the Big Three. In no way will it compare to the latest offerings from Xbox or PlayStation, it does best complimenting those consoles. Zelda is a masterpiece, and more great games will be coming. As a main console, it's harder to recommend due to a lack of features and games. As a second or third console, it's truly amazing. It's so nice to be able to take the console with you -- even if that is just to a different room in your house.
