Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was so hard to snatch due to it being out of stock for so long but finally did. It's so much fun and easy to carry on trips or play at home on the TV. So many games available to play with multiple players making it a great gift for all ages!

Great product and essentials great speed my son loves it.

This has been a blast for our pre-teen. He enjoys the multi-player options that exist with the small controllers, and how portable it is. The games he has he really enjoys and we've had to set limits on its use because he would play 24x7 if given the opportunity.

Great gaming product. I love the screen. The kids love this system. Easy to play and connect to wifi. The price of the gaming product is fair.

Awesome system! It has great games and it is great to be able to bring it on the go. I primarily use the Switch docked, but it is great to be able to bring it along. The first party games are the best and it is continuously getting more and more third party support.

The Nintendo Switch has taken over as my son's favorite system. Our Xbox one rarely gets played anymore. Though the switch died connect to the TV, I find that my son and from what I hear, his friends, prefer to play handheld. Obviously it's also great for road trips. I was able to get it at a time when it was sold out everywhere but Best Buy was restocked and delivered it promptly! Weber had it a few months now, with no issues. The battery life is good and the gameplay is fantastic. My only concern is I didn't originally get a protection plan to do I used the chat to add it. While the customer service rep told me I am now covered, I have never received any confirmation on documentation for the protection play. Luckily, Best Buy's website emails the chat transcript, so I do have that as proof should any issues arise

8-bit NES was my first console - purchased w/ paper route money when I was 14. Over the years Nintendo has been hit or miss with me (and many others) when it's come to their "innovations", but so far the switch is a total hit. I *usually* get to game on the TV, but if someone else in the house wants to watch something, I can take it out of the cradle and play elsewhere. The built-in screen is large enough that even my middle-aged, computer-squinter eyes can make everything out fine. Usually, Nintendo's game selection on a new console is *terrible* for at least the first year, but I was pleased to find several games I looked forward to playing were available at or soon after launch. (Must. Resist. Buying. Skyrim. *AGAIN*.) The only negative thing I could really say is with regard the construction of the console itself - the kickstand feels like it could snap off pretty easily (which is extra scary, since it doubles as the memory expansion slot cover!), but aside from that I've got zero complaints.

Family friendly, easy to use, fun for everyone, lots of options, wether it be solo, or multiplayer! Everyone in at home has their own! So we can all match each other

Great quality, love it. Love playing the old games and new. I also love how easy it is to navigate.

My kids love this! Easy to take places or play at home on their tv

Awesome for playing games obvi , good quality and more only draw back is there isnt much storage but u can get over that quick if you buy a micro sd card!

Great family friendly console. Got a few games I used to play when I was young and the kids love them. Glad I get to share it with them

Great fun for the whole family! It's great how you can either just play with the switch as a handheld screen device or you can hook it up to the tv! The controllers are a little on the small side put you eventually get use to it.

Excellent system! love that its a portable console that can be played anywhere.

Great product! It is portable and can be docked and plugged into the television. It looks like there are more games coming out for it too. I wasn't sure that would happen and why I waited to buy this. Highly recommend this gaming console.

My kids love the Nintendo and so do I. I have no complaints.

I haven't been a "gamer" for many years. Aside from an Xbox One S which I use primarily as a Hulu/Netflix machine (and occasionally play NBA 2K or Madden on when I have guests over), I haven't purchased a console in nearly a decade. I impulsively purchased the Switch after hearing much fanfare. I was initially skeptical of the power that a hybrid console could provide, and whether the Switch would flop like the Wii U. Fortunately, I was wrong. When docked, the Switch is an absolute powerhouse. Games like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Super Mario Odyssey are visually stunning in 1080p and 60fps and will make your inner-child smile. Although the quality of the games drops to 720p and 59fps when in portable mode, they still look and feel fantastic. Even graphically demanding titles like Fortnite render quite nicely. The novelty of being able to just pick up your console from its dock and take it on the go has yet to wear off. Another innovation is the Switch's Joy-Con controllers, which makes multiplayer gaming a literal snap. This is a welcome addition if you've ever undergone the expenditure of buying peripherals for Nintendo's competitors. The two drawbacks of this console are its battery life and a barebones operating system. Although the Switch is portable, this isn't your Gameboy Advance of yesteryear. Battery life is pretty bad, and games like Fortnite or Doom can drain your battery in as little as 90-120 minutes. If you are buying this console for a long commute or because you frequently travel for work, be prepared to invest in a specialized portable charger. As for the operating system, it doesn't have any apps like Netflix or Hulu. These drawbacks are arguably minor and will probably be solved in future software/hardware iterations. As a gaming console, the Switch is a breath of fresh air in a space where innovation has been lacking for some time. Nintendo managed to produce something which intersects fun and power unseen since the release of the Gamecube nearly 20 years ago. Nintendo is back.

Love the battery life. Not only that but it's really easy to navigate. The five year old I baby sit has no problem playing it whatsoever.

This is my favorite console available right now. I love the matte texture of the console itself and the Joy-Con controllers. I do wish the Joy-Con had bigger buttons though and that the sticks had more travel to them. Battery life is pretty good. Mario is my favorite video game franchise and this system has a great selection of Mario games in various genres. I do feel that the system should be a little cheaper now that it has been on the market for 6 years and is using positively ancient tech. I definitely recommend it though!

Finally got this for our son. When absolutely loves it. He can connect it to his TV or take it on the go. Now long car rides are more enjoyable for him. Lots of games to choose from and we just download them right onto his switch.
