Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch system is a better mobile divide than stationary console. Hopefully by the time I beat BotW they will have a larger game library.

Reviewing as a busy parent I love what Nintendo has done. Being able to play full top tier games anywhere is the best thing I could ask for. The build is solid and I have had no issues or defects with the unit itself. Having a portable full system obviously means that it won't have the power of a dedicated home system but Nintendo has shown with Zelda that anybody who wants to put a great looking and playing game on the system can. Battery life is respectable and the USB C port offers many options for keeping juiced up for long trips. I've docked my rating a score for two reasons. The hidden costs of the system (sd card, pro controller, travel charger, tempered glass screen protector) can add up fast as most accessories are priced pretty high. Second, the hardware is ready for prime time but the features of the system software seemed lacking and incomplete. Game save management, no virtual console, lack of browser or apps and common online game and social features like chat and achievements are not present which seems out of touch for a dedicated gaming system. My confidence in the system will greatly improve with a solid E3 showing this June that show off more AAA games are in the pipeline and updates with the system ecosystem itself. You may not use all the play styles the Switch can offer, but whatever one you use I'm confident you'll be happy with it.

I love this portable console! Is a Nintendo so you already know most of this games are multiplayer. Great for gathering and bring back families together

I spent over a year trying to decide if it would be "worth it" and let me just say, yes: it is worth it. I didn't grow up gaming, so this is my first real interaction with gaming and it's such a fun introduction. Going back and forth between handheld and using it on my tv is a dream. Seems silly to write a review on a product where there's really no alternative, but yes; this is a great console, and speaking as someone who has little experience with gaming, a great console to start with!

The switch itself speaks for itself. It's the most sought after console for a reason. This review is for Best Buy, being a no nonsense place to buy this console, as they don't price gouge like other game related stop retailers.

My kids waited all pandemic for A switch to be available. They’ve enjoyed it immensely. The only problem school has started so they can’t play as much as they did in the summer. There are a lot of family friendly group games.

Struggled to find one for my sons bday I. June but Best Buy was the only site that continued to restock! Great system, our whole family enjoys it and we love that we can even play old school Nintendo and Super Nintendo games

I know it’s supposed to be for both, but I really just love this as a premium feeling handheld system that just so happens to be dockable for use on a TV. I do wish the onboard memory was larger but with microSD cards being so cheap its pretty affordable to just go with a good 64GB or 128GB (which is what I did) for extra space. I just can’t wait for the better docks to come out because the system does seem to run hot when docked. Awesome buy and I hope that all that want one has gotten one by now. If you love handhelds this is a must buy, but this is by no means a full replacement for your PS4 or XB1 in my opinion.

The Nintendo titles alone make the Switch worth it. The library of games has expanded considerably since release. I remember having the Gameboy as a kid and comparing it now to the Switch with all the advancements is mind blowing.

I love the fact that this system allows you to continue to play the old games from my childhood as well as the new games for the kids.

Built-in kickstand is weak. I brought separate portable stand for this. But otherwise, this is a solid game console. It has quality game selections.

This is a Xmas gift for my son but he has played on his friends system and he loves it, so I bought one for him. Nintendo always makes quality systems so I’m sure this game console is any different. I know he will be one excited young man this Xmas when he opens his gift.

I'm assuming you already know what a Switch if you're reading this... what're you waiting for? In all seriousness, a solid product, finally being stocked again regularly after a serious supply issue from scalpers and COVID.

I love the switch for its size , I am adult and play a few games on this and love the option on plugging the base into the tv to get a bigger screen option. I have used on a 55” tv and it still looked good do not know if it will handle 65” or larger do not have tv that size so could not test it. I like the improved battery life on this version that I bought. I thought about buying the lite version , because it was a lot cheaper but it’s also a lot smaller. Also I like the regular size switch , because it is still easy to take with.

Love it! I found the setup process to be quite quick. The transition from the docking station to a handheld and back is smooth. The joycons snap into place and are quite secure. When playing movement games, you can attach a piece to the joycon that has a wrist strap. At first I put it on backwards and found it be have a loose fit, but after realizing and flipping it around, it too clicked into place and was super secure! Overall, very satisfied with the product and how user friendly it is!

The switch is super silck and feels great in the hand. I've used it loads just laying in bed with it in handheld mode. I love how portable it is and I love playing with a screen in my hand. While laying down it can cramp your hand a bit if you lay on your side but obviously it probably wasn't made for that specifically. One thing to keep in mind is that it doesn't come with any screen covers or case to carry it around in if you do take it on the go so I would recommend buying one of those separately. It makes travelling with it feel a lot safer. Overall a great gaming system with great games that feels... great!

Great console because of portability. I just wish that the price was cheaper since the games are so expensive.

Everything I needed it to be. Needed a replacement, too bad they don't sell them separate. Just needed the system.

Love the fact that I did not have to step foot in store and had a quick pick up. My child loved their gift!

I waited a really long time to get this because of the price point but it was so worth it when I got it. It’s like having a full size game console in a little hand held device. I may be biased because I’m a die hard Nintendo fan since practically birth, but If you’re debating getting this, don’t. Just get it. The only thing that isn’t really mentioned is that in order to play online with others unlike other Nintendo consoles like the DS is that you have to pay a yearly fee! That may be common knowledge to some but I didn’t know that. It’s only like $20 a year though.
