Customer Ratings & Reviews

I absolutely love the Nintendo switch, the best place to buy it was here at bestbuy, so I could receive my point on my account

Fun to play away from tv. Could use higher quality controllers.

I have an Xbox One S that I love. I have played the PS4. I recently owned a 3DS. I must admit that I prefer the Switch over all the other modern systems. Yes, it doesn't have the same graphics power as the Xbox or PS but you can take it with you. Breath of the Wild is great as a game. There is also a lot of nostalgia with this system, but the dual use just trumps everything else.

The system is great for my kids (ages 9-13), they love it, and there haven't been any technical issues with the device.

So, despite my complaints I bit the bullet and got the Nintendo Switch, which I'll likely be selling my WiiU to make up the difference for that mess. ANYWAY I wanted to get my thoughts out after actually getting my hands on the device. It's a surprisingly well built machine, it's the first tablet I've seen with screws that would allow you to open it up to change the battery if it were to fail. The joycons feel really well built, and it's nice that you can sit back with your hands not together with normal controllers, especially if you're like me and have wide shoulders and a barreled chest. My hands are medium sized with sausages for fingers and over all I have little issue with the joycons. The biggest issue I have is the minus button on the left joycon, I cannot for the life of me reach to hit it with my thumb, I gotta use my other hand. The "dpad", is as a I thought not great. For all the Nintendo fanatics insisting "you need to try it to know" no, I didn't, it's 4 face buttons and not a pivoting dpad. It works fine for menus but it's functionality is minimal at best for platformers. The buttons are click-y and nice overall and the sticks function well. Obviously something like the XB1/PS4/WiiUPro sticks are better for precision but, for a portable/non portable device? Totally serviceable, though if you have bigger hands you may not like the right analog stick location unless you're using the included joycon holder thing.

I have a PS4 before. Although there are not too many game in switch like PS4. I still love to play it. It is the best choice if you did not love PS or xbox.

We patiently waited for the opportunity to buy one online at retail price and it’s worth the wait. We love our new family toy

I bought it and just paly for few day. However, so far so good.

The switch is truly a fantastic console by Nintendo. By making the Nintendo Switch able to switch from handheld to a regular docked console, Nintendo has made it easier than ever to enjoy gaming on the go and at home. Nintendo has been the leader in innovation and they continue to bring new and fun ideas to fruition.

I love love love my new switch, the quality of the console is simply impressive. The graphics are incredible and full of great detail. Highly recommend!!!!!!

I absolutely love the switch. I play all sorts of games on it. This is my second one since my first one gave up. I had to buy another!

Easily the best console. Who cares about 4k 120hz whatever. I vet alp of the old school stuff too?!?! Nice. The store runs insanely slow like it’s on dial up, otherwise everything is pretty great

Great video game systemFor kids and adults of all ages the playability is really high on the video game system. I wouldrecommend is for friends and family.

Love it!!! I. 48 yrs old & it gives me a good working

They were sold out everywhere, luckily I was able to order one online from here and pick it up in store. I don’t play video games often but this is definitely a system that I enjoy playing; both alone and with friends/family. Love that I can play a bunch of Mario related games like I did when I was younger.

Son loved it. Him and his friend play when they get the chance .

Dont waste your time with the "Lite" version. Get this one, you can play on the big screen or on the plane. Graphics are great

I personally think this is a Phenomenal product!!!! I love how it SEAMLESSLY does EXACTLY what it is supposed to do! Its extremely functional.. and definately practical! I can go on for dayss.. Needless to say I am THOROUGHLY enjoying my Switch! was one of the fortunate few to get it on opening day! I LOVE it! and it is DEFINITELY the Resurrection of Nintendo! (bless) s.g.n.m.

I bought this so my kids could enjoy the games either playing it on a small screen or hooking it to a bigger screen. It's portable and very convenient. The only thing is that I wanted the different color controllers but they were out of stock. It would be nice if it came with a manual inside the box so you know how to use it.
