Customer Ratings & Reviews

I'm so glad I made this purchase even with the "new" Switch on the horizon. I really love the versatility of the Switch! I honestly didn't think I would use the other modes besides docked, but it's been so nice having games on the go with something significantly better to play on than a phone. I really wanted to change up my gaming as I've only been playing PS4 lately and I've finished most of the games I wanted to play. That started to get stale so I really wanted something new and different. The Switch offers something fresh and engaging. I've spent so much time on Zelda Breath of the Wild, more than most games on my other console already. The joy-cons, although small, are quite responsive and work well with the games on offer. The whole device feels surprisingly solid and is definitely made well. I opted to get the BestBuy protection plan. I'd recommend this especially if you plan to take your Switch with you a lot. There is also a known issue with the joy-cons after a while. The sticks tend to drift causing input lag and misdirection, so I'm glad I would be covered in case something happens (the protection plan is actually cheaper than a new set of joy-cons too, just saying). I highly recommend getting some accessories for it. Cases, grips, controllers, dock sleeves, screen protectors. game card cases, all of these little things just add to the experience and of course, protects and makes things more convenient. It feels like I'm investing in something worthwhile. I understand those who are on the fence about buying this model with the announcement of an updated Switch coming in the fall. I bought mine this summer before that news came out, but I don't at all regret making the purchase. I knew I wanted to spend a chunk of my summer playing this. Plus the upgrade is very minor, just a couple hours of extra battery life. I always have my charger with me and I might invest in a portable battery anyway, so waiting a few months for a version that is virtually identical just didn't make sense to me. If you can wait then, sure, get a Switch later during the holidays. Either way, this is a fantastic console and if you really want to feel like a kid again this is for you!

So happy I ended up purchasing this! I love that you can play games or watch YouTube it’s a like a mini iPad! Love that you can set it up on the tv and play with multiple people

My son loves it! He really enjoys it. He likes that it’s portable so he can connect with his friends on the go. Just wish there was more variety of games to choose from. The only con is the lack of internal storage. Need to buy a separate SD card for it.

I really like the nintendo switch .Not only is it small and light, but its really fun.

Great console especially for kids 14+ and there's less worry about M games

The Nintendo switch has great game selection. Their consolidation of the home console to something portable is awesome. Great buy for young and old...device itself is sleek & lightweight..everything you would want in a portable device. Good job Nintendo!

This is a really smart and neat little console, and at a great. I haven't owned a Nintendo since N64 (I play other consoles). My girlfriend wanted to play games with me so we got this. Im really impressed with the ease of portability and that you can play as a portable or connected to a TV. And Nintendo online offers a ton of features and nostalgic downloads for a reasonable price, as well.

This is the best birthday gift ever! The words of my 9 year old son. He loves the ability to play on the TV and then play the same games on the go. Also the attachments on the go allow 2 players. Neat game system with fun games for kids and flexibility!

I had an original Nintendo switch and this is the updated second version. I can honestly say the battery life has been significantly improved over the original version. I'm not sure if this new version claims any increase in game performance but at least to me, that still seems the same which is fine. Every game I have runs just as good on this switch as opposed to the original unit I had. I have had this unit for a while and purposely waited to post a review to be sure I did not have any joy-con drift problems like I did with the first unit which Nintendo corrected anyway. Nintendo is a top notch company who stands firmly behind its product. I recommend this console for all ages, if you can find it in stock.

Nothing quite like it. The Switch is absolutely unrivaled as a mobile-to-console platform. It runs extremely well, and knowing that Nintendo can only go up from here is heartening. Would not hesitate to buy another.

Easy to use. Great size to use anywhere. Simple for younger kids to pick up on and use. Battery life is good also.

Amazing I love it kids and I play all the time together

[Employee of bestbuy] Very solid console, perfect for casual gaming. It’s very portable and has a decent battery life.

We got this for our best friend for her birthday. Having owned this switch and the switch lite, I’m a big fan of Nintendo products. She was over the moon. Now her and her partner can join us When we talk about our favorite games!

Right now it’s hard to get one of these, but if you get lucky, you won’t regret it. Super portable and has ton of fun games to play. In store pick up was super easy with the friendly staff. Highly recommend!

My son loves his Nintendo Switch. Love that he can take it anywhere and play or we can hook it up to our tv and play on the big screen. Controllers are a but tiny that come with it, but work well.

This is a great system for all ages, literally my 3 yr. old plays games and my brother who is 33 also plays games on this device that interest them. The device is portable which makes it great. And there are a huge selection of games including the old school nintendo games. The only con to this device is the remotes. They easily get damaged (buttons). I bought my first switch in Sept.2018 and since I had the warranty I switched it out because my remote buttons were stuck (ex. Player moving with touching the remote).

This was a bit of an impulse buy... I was planning on waiting until Christmas. Mario Kart, Zelda, and now Mario Odyssey are all classic games that bring the family together. The ability to take it on road trips will be a great feature in the future.

Got this as a gift for my dad for his birthday and he absolutely loves it! We also got the special micro SD card for it to be able to download more games and it's so convenient! Best Buy made it so easy to order it online and pick it up. It's quick to set up and begin playing, almost everyone in my family has gotten a switch at this point and it's a great deal for something so easy and fun!

The tiny controllers are taking some time to get use to. I think it is a neat combo between hand held and big screen gaming system. I feel this system is more family friendly than the xbox and playstation.
