Customer Ratings & Reviews

We bought this for our 13 year old son birthday. He loves it and don't want to put it down. The screen is the prefect size. Me as a parent love the control it gives to me. I can set time limits as well as what he can play. This has been a very big help in him getting his chores done.

I was extremely uneasy about making this purchase, but to my surprise I fell in love. This handheld game console is a must have!

Switch arrived on time and in perfect condition despite so many issues with shipping due to low stock and COVID-19. It works perfectly and I have loved playing in handheld and TV mode.

Nintendo Switch is amazing, portable and home console, great price, and great games to play with the whole family.

Excellent gift for kids. The exclusive games are expensive, but the console is great, I like to play with my kids and they love it.

Definitely get the Nintendo store subscription for all the old NES/gameboy/GameCube games. Will definitely bring back some nostalgia.

Console is small and can easily be taken with you anywhere you go. Grandkids will love playing it on road trips. Price is reasonable.Can transform from a console to a mobile system.

Very enjoyable. But I like it also is that you can get a $20 online subscription and get access to all the old Nintendo games online. They also sell compatible controllers that are almost like the old-school. Worth the money.

I travel a lot for work. The Switch has been great for traveling on planes, in the hotel room, or when I'm waiting for a colleague outside of a meeting. The battery life isn't great, so an external battery pack is a necessity. Some of the ported games leave something to be desired, but Zelda and Mario are must play games. I would highly recommend buying a Nintendo Switch if you're a gamer who travels, or even if you're someone who was a big Nintendo fan in the past. The system is also great for younger kids and families to play together as it is one of the more co-op friendly consoles. Worth getting for sure!

Super fun system. I was skeptical at first -- especially since I come from playing XBox -- but this system pleasantly surprised me. It's a different experience and great to just turn it on and have it load from where you left off.

i FOUND THE GAME TO BE FUN AND ENTERTAINING leaving me to want too play more.

So much fun for the entire family. I love how you can play on the TV or just with the console. There are a ton of games and the parental controls are great!

Great console for not only use at home, but to carry on trips or even during day activities. Very practical and with a good selection of games available.

I never thought I'd be able to game again after a diagnosis of epilepsy. The ability for this to become a handheld gaming system allows me to play on a smaller screen with brightness dimmed slightly, which is a "game-changer"! I know my experience is perhaps rare, but this also brings me back to my original console controller days to where I didn't have to remember the controls between PS2 and Xbox. The docking station for larger tv games without a lot of flashing is genius!

I am a PC Gamer, I do not own any current gen consoles. That said the biggest selling point was portability since I can not bring 3 monitors and desktop with me everywhere. For the price you get a well built system that on paper has very underwhelming specs (2 year old nvidia CPU). BUT the switch 720p screen is great quality and unless you seen the specs sheet you would not know it was that low of a resolution. I did not expect much graphically of the system but is better then expected. Docking and playing on a TV has been a pleasant experience as well. The $300 MSRP though is far from what you will spend including games and pro controller ( to play with friends ) but that is the same with all consoles. Battery life is meh at best (about 3 hours), so expect to invest into a battery pack if you play on the go. The online is probably the best in terms of Nintendo consoles so far but overall Ui is weak. The game library is lacking like most new consoles but between the current big titles like zelda, mario kart, and now street fighter (and a few indy games) you'll definitely have enough to play. So would I suggest this as someone main/first gaming device, no. For someone like me who PC games or even those on current gen xbox and ps and wants to game on the go, then yes. Again the single best selling point is gaming on the go. If this was a docking / stationary console ONLY it wouldn't have even been considered.

The console works amazing. I love the ability to switch between playing from the game pad to playing on my TV.

My kids love their new Switch. Has come in handy on the long trips on the car. It’s great that all three of them can play against each other. They really enjoy it.

Great for families with kids. My family played on the switch for the first time at my brothers house and the kids immediately asked for one for Christmas.

Simply stated: Nintendo switch is awesome. I'm so, so happy I decided to shell out the cash to get one when given the opportunity. If you're looking for an excellent console, focused squarely on games that remember that fun is the key ingredient, look no further. Also, Best Buy sold the console at a fair price, shipped it directly to my home inexpensively, and I even received it three days before expected. All-in-all I'm thrilled with the entire process. I'd write more, but its time to go save Hyrule. Happy gaming!

I enjoy the Switch as both a console and handheld. This one has a better battery compared to the 2018 Black Friday Switch with Mario Kart.
