Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's awesome! Got it for my kids The options of games are great, the quality is awesome. The only thing you should need is a sim card to be able to store more games on it. Other than that, it's all amazing

I was reluctant to purchase a new gaming console. I was perfectly content with both a PS4 and a pc for playing video games. However I was able to test out the Switch and immediately wanted one. The Switch is a great change of pace and the lineup of games is already impressive. The ability to switch between docked play on your tv and handheld is such a great feature. I was reluctant when seeing the Joy-Con controllers but they feel great in your hands and work very well. Highly, highly recommend it.

What can I say, the switch has rave reviews across the board. Obviously it doesn't have the power of the PS4 or XBO, but what it can do is offer a great gaming experience at home or on the go. Our household also has a gray model, and I like the neon controllers better but prefer the gray ones out in public. Build quality and battery life are great.

I absolutely love this console! It’s super easy to use and I love that it is a handheld/home console hybrid!

Fun console that can be played on the go with good battery life but even better docked and with friends.

I was skeptical at first due to the high upfront cost and sparse library, but after just two years on the market I finally started seeing a lot of games that I really wanted to play from coming to this system. Now that I'm more familiar with it, I'm finding a lot more value to it than I originally thought. The portability factor is a huge plus and I think from now on, I'm going to more often than not prefer the Switch version for any multi-platform releases.

This is a great system for the family to play family games!!!

This console is a little pricey but it is worth every penny! I am able to seamlessly play on the go and then continue my gaming at home on my tv in 1 step. Battery has decent life, I am able to get a few hours of play on this without worrying about charging. I have been using this non stop for about a month and the only complaint that I have is that the joy cons are quite small when removed and playing games. If you have larger hands I would look into the joy con grips to make these larger and easier to grip.

I expected to enjoy the console but not nearly to the extent I did. I was on the fence about the switch being worth it or not but it takes me right back to being a kid again when games where still fresh and new but also fits into my "at home a lot less" lifestyle now that I'm a bit older and have more responsibilities. It's just amazing to be able to sneak in 15-20 min here and there when I would otherwise just be putzing around on facebook etc out and about, easily the best console of this generation.

Great to play in groups. I recommend this switch instead of the Lite. Due to the docking base and connection to a tv. It is not much more expensive and is worth the extra for the features. Being able to remove the controls is great since you can take the to a friend to play and play up to 8 people at a time.

I bought this for a gift to share between my two young boys. They love it. It can be carried or they can sit it on the console. You do have to buy some accessories to play some of the games, which can start adding up in cost, but this does keep them moving. We are a family that likes activities that keep us moving and this helps when we have a little down time on rainy days. They love the fact they can share it or if the other is gone or not in the mood for a game it can be played as a one player game as well.

Good way to game. Play MarioKart with daughter on tv w/ split controllers (she doesn't have to hold down gas), bring upstairs to play handheld. Only problem has been joy cons occasionally not turning on right away, and one error caused a system reboot. Minor glitches that hasn't caused much grief. Fun system.

Pre-ordered this and haven't regretted it one bit. The screen is nice and bright and actually looks better than on my tv. Works as advertised, when its docked you can play on the big screen and pulling it out of the cradle smoothly reverts to the small screen. I recommend a controller for this, the Joy-cons are nice with the adapter but a regular controller would be better...........As for BestBuy, they had everything ready for me to pkup at the store and had a very positive experience as I always do with them.

Battery life is great. Easy to use. Online is fun and buying games online is easy and quick to download.

What's not to love about the switch? I've never had a performance issue with it, its portable, fun to play. And its pretty kid friendly and durable. Worth the pricetag

Awesome console. Portability is a big plus. Powerful enough to run decent ports of Doom, Skyrim. Near perfect first party games.

I've been wanting a Switch for some time, and this was a great deal at Best Buy. The Switch came with Starlink with StarFox. Everything is as described. As someone who often finds it easier to play mobile games on my phone than games on my TV (I also own PlayStation consoles) I love having the option and pretty much only play the handheld Switch now, usually with something else on TV in the background, if I'm home. So many great games, so little time!

Nintendo has managed to redefine the home gaming console yet again. I have barely touched our Wii U system, no because there is anything wrong with it, just nothing compelling enough to pull me away from gaming on my PC. So when I bought the Switch for the purpose of playing the latest Legend of Zelda game I didn’t expect much more. Well… it exceeded my expectations and keeps my attention while all my other new games collect dust. It is surprisingly small but powerful enough for graphic rich gaming. Possibly one of the best features is that it fills two device categories for the price of one. It works great as a console connected to your TV and also is great to take on the road to play as a handheld device or hook up at a friend’s house for party games or to occupy the kids for a while. I recommend getting the pro controller too, it is just more natural feeling for some games and there should be some cheaper aftermarket ones coming out soon if you don’t want to spend $69 on a controller. The price of the system itself though makes it the least expensive console on the market, and only slightly more expensive than most handheld games while filling both roles. I highly recommend the Nintendo Switch!

Love the portability and huge selection of fun games to play. Definitely a great investment!

I have owned numerous gaming systems by Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation, Sega......about all of them. This by far has quickly become my favorite. The quality is better than I've seen in a long time and the graphics are amazing. Not to mention the versatility of being able to use it as a personal handheld, to playing on my 65in tv without sacrificing the graphics, quality or your position in the game is unbelievable. Playing the multi-player games on this portable device is something I am looking forward to!
