Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch is a great device, I put off buying one for a very long time but I don't regret the decision at all. The screen and sound are great, the design is attractive, it's just a solid system with a lot of good game options. Based on info from friends with the older version, the battery life improvement in the current version is dramatic. Depending how much I'm playing, I can get through a day without charging. If you do plan on playing for hours when the Switch isn't docked, you may want to consider some kind of ergonomic grip as an add-on as it can cause some thumb/wrist strain (depends on the person), more than just holding a regular controller. You'll probably also want to spring for the Nintendo Online subscription, but it's a pretty good deal and gives you access to a fun retro game library too.

portability is so nice, games are going to be the difference maker though. it's like having a 4k tv without 4k content. BotW is one of my all time favorite games. splatoon for me is a long term game that I enjoy playing. very easy device to use. having is usb c is very handy.

I loved it and great to play with friends or on the go

The Switch is great. Not nearly as powerful as XB1 or PS4, but fantastic for: Nintendo games, indie/retro games, portability, get-togethers, etc. I have a dock in 3 different rooms of my house as well as work, so anybody can play their games wherever. It's so convenient to be able to play Smash Bros or Overcooked with friends in my living room, take a little break w/ some Tetris in the office, continue playing an RPG when I'm stuck with some downtime elsewhere, etc. There's more than a few games I probably wouldn't have gotten around to finishing without this convenience. Nintendo has a lot of great games to play. This particular switch went to my grandparents, who already have 500+hr on Animal Crossing. I'd say Nintendo nailed it this time, if they just had a good D-pad JoyCon variant.

So much fun to play this device using my large screen television and able to play with another player. Did need to buy more storage and a controller.

I don't know what more can be said about the wildly successful and entertaining Nintendo Switch, but let me just start with: this is my second Switch and I purchased it specifically for our kids to have their own. There's so many games available, lots of controllers to choose from, and (best of all) a very good online account / Family Account system for getting all of the gamers in your household linked up and ready to play.

Great gaming console! The biggest sale point of this game console is its "convertible" feature, which means you can take it out and play it like a handheld game device, while it can be docked and output to TV when it is at home. When it is in "handheld" mode, the screen is touchable as well, like a mini tablet. To be fair, it's not the most powerful and nicest screen output like 4K you can find from competitor like PS4/5. So, if you are a hardcore video game fans that quality of screen output is your first priority, this is not for you. The screen output is HDMI 1080p, but it's more targeted for people who are looking for a versatile solution, can be played handheld and docked to output to big TV screen. Of course enjoy lots of motion games with the joycon.

So I haven’t owned a system since the PS2 So this was a severe upgrade for a Christmas present. I tested 2 games on the switch to make sure it worked before it was put away until December and I have to say it is the best thing I’ve ever played on. The two games I tested out was Legend of Zelda:BOTW and the my hero academia fighting game the second one. The joycons I believe that’s what they are called work flawlessly, the colours and display were amazing and out of everything just an amazing buy didn’t die quickly either which was a plus. I was going to get the lite version but my best friend is partially blind so I got the actual switch that sets up to the TV and the test out was great she was able to play fine and not get close to my tv. So this is perfect:)

So I’m glad I waited to buy a Switch because they improved the battery life on the improved Switch. I love to watch tv and play it handheld. The longer battery life is great for commuting/traveling, too! Really love it and so glad I bought it.

A great system to have if you are looking to play games on the go or not wanting to connect to a tv to play. You can play lots of old school NES, SNES games and current gen games as well. You cant go wrong with this system.

Have had this for two weeks now and it’s been a blast. My girlfriend and I love the Mario games we initially got. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy were surprisingly good purchases (downloads) during a recent cold snap, as well. No issues with the controllers or system. All working fine. I’d also say I enjoy playing the Switch more than my PS4. Oh - one thing I would recommend is buy yourself some extra storage for this system.

Bought this for my daughter and she is in love with this platform. Best buy had it in stock and ready to pick up.

Look, seeing this finally in stock after three months was a godsend. I was starting to see prices going for at least $400-500 for one. So, when I found this in stock in best buy, I just threw money at them. It arrived on time and I was very happy for my purchase! I wanted to get this one as it has a better battery life than the older version. On a side note, I would recommend getting (at least) a screen protector & maybe the pro controller if you are going to game heavily. I used the joycons for a couple of days and they feel too thin for my tastes. They're fine, but I feel like I'm going to break the A button. I'm just happy I finally got one, and if you're looking for a regular Switch and have the money, buy it immediately because it would go out of stock within hours.

The Switch is great for all different ages and skill levels. I play Mario Maker 2 online with my 7 and 3 year olds a couple times a week. We all have a blast trying out different levels made by players all over the world.

Fun game system for the entire family. The transition between TV and playing remotely is fairly seamless and the battery life is good.

The Nintendo Switch I’m glad I made, I use it all home all the time and actually took it with me to use on the plane while traveling as well. It’s super convenient and the selection of game Nintendo provides are awesome, having a blast!

The screen is great being both touch and a nice personal mini monitor for playing with the controller separately. It hooks right up to the television and looks great as well (although, don't expect it to be the same experience as a PS4 or XBOX ONE, but that's not what Nintendo is about - they are all about just having fun with video games). I definitely recommend getting this version over the lite portable standalone: 1. you can replace the controllers on this machine and 2. you can share with others 3. you can play it on the big screen. Saving $100 is not worth eliminating these advantages. The only thing I'm not crazy about with the Switch is the tiny analog controllers that are not nearly as comfortable as the XBOX and PS controllers. You can get alternative controllers to remedy this issue though.

great. we don’t really use the black thing but it’s still good.

Love the switch! Can play my Zelda games with ease

I ordered online. The order process was no problem. The delivery was quick. I received my order in just a couple of days. My son has not opened his system but he has played at a friend’s house. He loved it then and I’m excited for him to open his on Christmas morning!
