Customer Ratings & Reviews

Best Nintendo product to come out in a very long time . My son who is 8 years old just loves it. We were looking for something to replace the wiiU and DS. The switch by far is better then both of those. The graphics are awesome. I've even caught my self playing it and not wanting to put it down.

This was my first game system since the Nintendo 64/Dreamcast. Fell in love with it after a friend let me borrow it and had to get my own switch.

I have to admit that I like the different games and it doesn’t need to be hooked up to the internet for my kids to have fun. That’s where my love for it ends. It is a very difficult system to learn. Not nearly as user friend as I was led to believe from ads. No manual included in the box. Everything is an electronic tutorial, which is fine if you can find it before getting frustrated and wanting to throw through a window. Every game has a tutorial on what button does what. Watch them. It will help immensely and keep your children entertained. The other drawback I see to this system is while the split controllers are a really cool idea, they are not easy to learn how to use or how to get the system to recognize you have split them and are using them separately. Plus all the things out there to make the system more user friendly and fun of course is more $ to spend. The $300 price is just the beginning. To date with the purchase of only 5 games and a few additional items. We are closer to $600. Be aware of this when thinking of this system. It’s not as inexpensive as it may seem on the surface.

I've been a gamer since the early 80's and with the exception of the N64 and Wii U, I've owned every console that Nintendo has produced. This is by far one of the best, as although I mainly keep my Switch docked in the bedroom, I have taken it on long trips and it performs just as well, although the battery life does leave a bit to be desired, as you only get around 4 hours of life in my experience. That flexibility and the standout lineup of first party titles so far (e.g. Zelda, Mario Odyssey, etc.) coupled with a few solid entries from third parties (e.g. Mario + Rabids Kingdom Battle) will keep you entertained for some time wherever you are.

I'm a big Nintendo fan, brought this system for on the go gaming. Great fun in a small, portable system. I very much like Zelda and Splatoon. Can't wait for more fun games to be released.

Have had it for few years now and still love it! I love being able to customize it and play all of the old school Nintendo games!

I got this knowing what I was wanting, and it didn’t disappoint. I do not think kids should spend too much time on game consoles, but I’m an adult, so what the hell.

Title says it all, great console/portable gaming unit! Battery life I'm getting around 4 hours on avg with Zelda and have used the system during a few long flights that have made them zip by.

Impulse buy. Worth every penny. Like anything Nintendo, they somehow manage to recreate the magic in every device. This thing is fun, portable, and great. The only thing I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t have an N64 emulator on it. Nintendo does a terrific job at making you want their games and consoles. The Switch is no exception. The software is excellent, and the hardware is excellent. It’s fascinating how they can seemingly be behind on things like video resolution with their consoles, yet when you play a Nintendo Switch - you just don’t care or notice. And I’m an adult who notices. And plays video games.

I only jumped on the bandwagon because I'd been playing on my friend's switch and quarantine seemed like the perfect time to grab one. I waited until it was in stock and had a mad dash to checkout. The system has great graphics and sound for a handheld and also holds charge for 3-4 hours! I'm really enjoying the experience so far as a first time gaming console owner and I am especially pleased with Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on here. I'll try to update if there are any controller drift issues with the joycons in relation to how long I've had them.

I love the game unit. It is the perfect combination of kid friendly games and mobility. I love that I was able to order it online and simply pick it up at the very front of the store.

This is a Switch. If you like Nintendo games and/or are a young person, I'm not quite sure how you wouldn't like this.

The console has performed well over the months, however, the joycon stick deteriorated quickly with kids using it and no longer works on one of the controllers :(

I love this system. It's incredibly portable, and I travel with it constantly. The sheer number of games available is staggering, and quality ones at that. Totally worth it.

I haven't owned a Nintendo since Nintendo64. But, the Switch and Zelda Breath of the Wild in particular brought me back. The console's best feature is arguable its versatility. It can be a handheld, it can be docked to your big screen. You can play with a traditional style controller, or break up the joycons and freestyle it. It really is up to you and how you want to play your games. And it is that versatility along with the surprisingly fun and solid lineup of first year games that Nintendo has developed so far. I would 100% recommend and not only did I buy one for myself my little cousins I got 2 switches and accessories as well for Christmas.

Finally caved and bought this for our little one. He absolutely loves playing games and watching YouTube on it. We did have the issue of joy con drifting after 6 mos, but Nintendo repaired them. I’d highly recommend this system for all ages.

I have never owned a game system before and after trying the switch i loved it. Its multiplayer capabilities and versatility were definitely the biggest winning points for me.

Very good product if you love games but please buy a storage card.

It's a strange thing to review, because there is no comparable product, so you probably know if you want one or not. It's the current gen Nintendo console! The library of titles is quickly becoming excellent, the graphics are ... graphical, the physical unit is sturdy both on TV and handheld, the Joy Cons are great but much less sturdy (get a pro controller, even a knock off, to save wear and tear on these), the OS/system is rock solid stable, battery life is quite good handheld, game cartridges are good for trade in, but are so tiny they can get lost easily, so digital download is also nice. Just good clean fun!

Very happy with the capabilities and functionality of this device. Highly recommend investing in a wireless controller
