Customer Ratings & Reviews

My daughter loved it! She loves all of the games she has access to and the variety of her childhood games have been a huge plus.

I had resisted getting a Switch until now because I sometimes am so confused by some of Nintendo's choices. Although a huge fan in the past, I couldn't understand why certain games couldn't have saves backed up on external media or why it took so long to establish true user accounts so that games could be re-downloaded when needed. Now that most of the issues are fixed, I got a Switch to play Mario Odyssey. I have been very happy with the system and love the portable/home console hybrid approach. Highly recommended!

This is a difficult thing to review, because there's really no basis for comparison. It's not directly competing with the PS4 or Xbox One, since it's not even close to those two in terms of processing power. Nintendo is clearly taking a different approach by relying on the console's portability (which is fantastic) and the platform's titles (which is fantastic, with a giant asterisk). The asterisk is, at this moment, the only truly standpoint title is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Indeed, that game is so good, that it alone nearly justifies the price of the console for some. My greater concern is that, once the enthusiasm and novelty has worn off, is the Switch just going to collect dust? Only time will tell that tale. As far as the Switch itself, it seems well built. I've had absolutely no issues with mine, but it has spent 95% of its time with me on the dock, plugged into a TV. The resolution is a little low, compared to the consoles from Sony and Microsoft, but as I said before, it's not really a direct competitor to those. Its firmly in the "non-photorealistic" camp, and it's proud to be there. I'm just hopeful that more excellent titles are forthcoming.

This system is awesome. The versatility is its biggest strength. Wish the controlllers were bigger. Also looking forward to more games.

This is the next evolution in the Nintendo handheld line up. Hardware is no where close to the PS4 or XBone but the Switch works with what it's got and it does a fairly decent job. Only time will tell how far they can push this hardware...

Nintendo took a risk with the Switch, and it worked! Unlike the failure of the WiiU, the Switch's ideas and potential have been embraced rather than rejected by society this time around. The fact that the console is legitimately portable is a huge plus. Also, I love that the joy cons can become individual controllers, which means the console comes with two controllers instead of the usual one. This is an awesome console and has a fantastic library. If you're considering buying a Switch, you should definitely do it!

I bought My fiancé the switch as a Christmas gift and he absolutely loves it! What I love is that he can play anywhere. We recently went on a trip to Switzerland/Germany and he played it on the flight and it also came in handy on our 6 hr train ride from Germany to Switzerland. He played with my best friends husband and they had a great time! I love how versatile it is, that one isn’t just stuck playing at home but can play anywhere with anyone! Absolutely incredible console and would recommend it to anyone 100%!

I Didn't get this right away but in the end I'm glad I did. Works as a nice travel companion and has a great variety of games to play.

Super fun and easy to use. Great game selection available as well. Switch from tv to small screen console couldn't be any easier either!

Held off buying this new system to see how things went. Finally got it and it did not disappoint me at all! Fun, portable and Mario! Go get it!

The original Nintendo Switch is a top option if you prefer to play most of your games on your entertainment center’s TV.Play in handheld, tabletop, and TV modes. Includes 2 Joy-Con controllers and dock. HD rumble feedback. Built-in kickstand. Up to 9 hours of battery life. Available in neon red/blue and grey. Handheld gaming gets a little murky when played in direct sunlight.

Love everything about the switch, definitely worth it. Good battery life, More portable than expected, Good resolution when playing handheld.

I haven't opened it up yet because it's a Christmas gift for my boy, but he's played one that was on display in the store and fell in love with it. I'm sure he's going to love this one as well. I'll post a follow up review after Christmas.

Love the system. The system controllers went out and Best Buy replaced them right away!

The console is very durable it can handle most games without a problem. The joy cons are very comfortable to hold and the only downside to the joy cons are the size of the buttons. To solve the issue, just buy a pro controller. The battery life on the Switch and the joy cons are very long lasting and the console charges very fast. When the Nintendo Switch changes from portable mode to docked mode, and vice versa, it is a very fast transition. Overall, the Nintendo Switch is an amazing console that I recommend to everyone to get.

I was skeptical and hesitant to buy the switch. I first bought the Wii back then and never played it after a few months. With the limited game launches at the time and trying real hard to the enjoy the system I traded it in, plus I had my PS3 and Xbox 360 then. My DS lite at the time had more playtime than my Wii. Anywho, fast forward to now and not impressed by the Wii U, this system got me real interested. I think the biggest factor here is the portability. I can literally play on the go then switch right on to my TV if I wanted to, just like the title of this system implies. Sure, it has slow launch titles as well just like any other systems that first come out, but this time around it wasn't a factor. Being that its been sold out for some time was like a challenge for me and was one of the other few reasons I purchased the Switch. Graphics are surprisingly there from a handheld perspective. It's an innovative piece of hardware. The only downfall I can say for this system is the battery life hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, after reviews after reviews and watching videos, I can say I am happy with this purchase. As a side note I am a PS4 and Xbox One S owner as well.

This purchase allows me to have fun by myself and with others and it’s small and compact so I’m able to take it with me anywhere

Endless family fun. So happy it came in time for Christmas. It did get delayed a week.

I love this product and this was a huge step in the right direction. It is so easy to connect to Wifi, downloading games digitally or physically are super easy and the updates are easy! It's so convenient and easy to move around and is definitely more for us adults rather than kids! The games you can get for this console are amazing and the graphics come through great! Buying other accessories and hooking them up are super easy! It's also nice to be able to play so many games with friends and family!

While the price tag isn't all that great. We usually play our switch more than any other consoles in the house and it's a great addition to a home or even as the sole console for the house.
