Customer Ratings & Reviews

Coming from owning the original gameboy, sega game gear, Nintendo DS, PSP, and the PS Vita...the Switch is a beast. It's everything I've been wanting in a portable game system. The power of an xbox/Xbox one, light, comfortable screen size, comfortable controllers, and soon to be great line-up of games. The docking to a tv and detachable controllers is a bonus, but not something I care for. I bought it for the portability and it hasn't failed. I love that I can take it outside anywhere..park, coffee shop, road trip, waiting on an appointment..etc. It's what I was hoping smartphones would be capable of (but never quite reached), but so much more.

This is a great console. You can play with this console in the comfort of your home or on the go. There's an endless amount of choices of game titles for you to play.

This still doesnt quite pack the power of a PS4 or XBOX ONE but if you enjoy nintendo originals and/or indie games and want something you can take with you, this system can't be beat!

This game system is amazing. I love that you can single player in an airplane or hook up to the TV with friends or to single player as a console style gaming system.

I didn't think I was going to like the Switch... I kept reminding myself about the days were you would buy the Wii U and it sat there collecting dust. This is way different... Just the fact that it's portable makes it worth it. I haven't been able to put this thing down at all. Been stuck playing 2 games: Zelda BOTW Final Fantasy VII Original I would imagine that this is going to be great for kids since it has a lot of options, but I would only let the kids play when it's mounted. The downside of this is that it seems fragile and easy to drop.

After the flop that was the Wii U, I was hesitant to jump on board with the switch. My husband and I are often at odds with use of our living room TV. So I love that fact that if I'm in the middle of a game and he wants to watch something, I can just undock this and go about my merry way. This combines everything I love about having a Nintendo console and a handheld gaming device. I was a Gameboy kid through and through so I've always had to have a handheld and this lets me do both and transition between then like nothing. My favorite system since the GameCube.

As a kid you used to play my Nintendo all of the time, and the switch gives me that nostalgia feeling. It’s nothing like the Xbox or PlayStation. The only thing I would say could be better would be how long it took to get the online code figured out.

I waited 8 hours in the rain on launch day to be first in line for this system, and it was worth every minute. Many people dismiss the Switch as being a system online mobile gamers will care for, but I do not think these people understand the true essence of the system. It is not as much about playing the console outside your home as it is providing flexibility playing it within your home. In the middle of a quest but need to use the bathroom? Switch! Your wife wants to cuddle with you while you are playing? Separate the Joy Cons from the grip and wrap your arms around her. I cannot say enough positive things about it. Get one if you have the chance.

I was able to get a couple of these launch day, one for me, one for a friend and WOW. They have lived up to the hype, at first I wasn't sure if it was the switch as much as it was breath of the wild, so I waited to post my review. But wow, the switch is a game changer because of it's innovative features. I can take it anywhere and I don't think it really resonates that you have a portable console until you actually own one. It's amazing how I can be playing breath of the wild on my TV screen and then take it with me wherever. I can only see the portability aspect of this getting better as more games come out. When more restock I would highly recommend!

My daughter is loving it! Everyday that she comes home from school, after homework, she’s gets straight on it!

My family loves the new switch, user friendly and very accurate control movement. Portable and joy cons hold a long charge. I recommend buying a carrying case for it when traveling.

Easy to buy, best buy was the only store I could find that had them in stock back in the Spring. Ordered it through their pickup service it went smoothly and was ready to pickup quick! Switch in perfect condition and loads of fun.

I was hesitant to purchase the "basic" version at first but after playing it I dont feel like im missing out on any of the greater features.

I've had this console for over a month now with no issues. Been able to connect it to my Roku TV, connect it to my Acer laptop, play it in portable mode, and use a third-party controller from Amazon with minimal setup and no problems with the games or hardware. I only have physical game copies, so I can't comment on the storage space, nor the battery life since I mostly play with it at home and keep it charged. Satisfied overall!

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.

My nephew is in love with the switch since he’s home and doesn’t have anything to do at the moment. Great way to keep him busy

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.

Cool console, very efficient and adjustable design. Adapts to any scenario. Girlfriend loved it

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!

This is a great game console, with lots of fun, and is especially a good way to keep the kids away from other stuff of the internet
