Customer Ratings & Reviews

Purchased this for our Granddaughter as a gift right now we only use it with the docking station on out TV but any fan of the Nintendo series of units or games will thoroughly enjoy this unit My only con is no physically games they all are digital downloads

I think its a great console and hand held device. I bought Mario Kart and have been pleased with the performance, the wireless controls, and ease of use.

At home or on the road my 7yr old is able to enjoy his switch while I get to enjoy not being driven crazy.

As much I like my PS4 & being able to stream with the various apps available on it, & as fun as the games are that I have on it, I'm really liking my Nintendo Switch as well. It definitely feels like it's focused on being for video games first, & all the gaga can come later. Granted, the system isn't as powerful as the PS4 or Xbox One, but as the Nintendo made games prove, it doesn't have to be. It makes a great second console to have. Play your favorite Nintendo games on the Switch, & play your favorite more powerful games on either PS4 or Xbox One.

Hours of fun and enjoyment with my six year old Connects to tv brings back child hood memories

Bought this nintendo switch for my nephew. He LOVES it! Super portable from the house to the car and becomes a house unit when he's at home. My nephew and his parents travel a lot and he loves the seamless game transition from hotel to the car. The unit connects to all the hotel room TV's without a problem and keeps him occupied during long drive in the rental car. His parents join in the fun and make it a great opportunity for family bonding time. The only negative is the unit doesn't come with a free game and you have to purchase a game with the unit. That said, great unit for kids and family.

Highly portable game platform with great games for kids/teens. Easy to learn to use and multi-player capable. My son and his cousins all have one and love it.

The system itself is incredibly fun. It is very plastic-y and feels easy to break/dent/scratch. Fixable with screen protector and case. How much you end up spending to enjoy it is a bit crazy. Nintendo games are an extra $60 each, Nintendo Online Subscription is $35 a year for a family plan to actually play these games online, extra pair of controllers cost $79, and cost of case/screen protector/ carrying case varies. So if you are interested, invest wisely.

This is one of the easiest things for me to order and pick up that I’ve ever done at any store

This is one of Nintendo's best pieces of hardware ever and I would never recommend a Switch Lite over this, I like the option of being able to choose whether I want to play it on TV or in handheld mode. The game library is great and getting better. The only real issues I have are that the hardware is showing its age a bit at this point and accessories are still a bit on the expensive side. That said, I love this system and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Finally in stock. Able to get as gift for myself. Wish there had been a Best Buy Bundle

I absolutely love this game system . It takes me back to my childhood.

Nintendo knows what to do, and they do it well. The range of games, and the portability of this system make it well worth the price.

I wasn't going to purchase the switch at first. But after seeing Zelda in action, I couldn't resist. The screen has great viewing angles, color reproduction and is bright enough to use in sunlight. Battery life is good, on par with a 3ds pretty much which is saying something considering the screen size. Sound quality from the speakers is decent but a little hollow. The joycons controllers have amazing battery life. Rated for 40 hours of play time and I believe it. The rumble function of the controllers is nice and adds a bit more depth to games than a PS4 or Xbox one controller with a higher range of sensitivity. The dock is a little disappointing considering its a cheap piece of plastic with not so well bolstered inner rubber. I think Nintendo could've done better with that. I am a little worried about future AAA game releases in that Zelda shows noticable framerate dropage when using a tv. It doesn't speak well to the future of graphics progression and optimization. Although if Nintendo continues with their strengths which is their first party library and not try and compete on the same level as the PS4 or Xbox with 3rd party games. Then there will be plenty of great games to play on the switch. And you can play them on the go. Which is more than you can say for Xbox or Playstation.

This switch is for my adult daughter. She, like me, loves the classic Nintendo games. The switch is an excellent gaming system to play new (and old) Nintendo games. The unique aspect to the game system is you can take it on the go or play it at home. Both of my daughters use the switch stand alone (i.e. not connected to a TV). I play mine connected to a big screen. This particular switch is my daughters' and she will nearly exclusively play this on the road! Great value and great fun.

I have been wanting a switch ever since quarantine started, was able to finally get one after randomly browsing Best Buy! Pure luck! They are always sold out! Purchased and it was ready for pick up a week later!

I love my Nintendo Switch. It has great games and is super convenient for however I feel like playing. Can’t wait to see what else comes to this console.

Though the controllers are a little small, it has been the center of attention for our family. Easy to use, love that is compact and portable.

This system is going to be a massive success. I fully believe this after a couple weeks of owning this console. Mobility isn't a gimmick. You can't look at it's hybrid form and say it's just another Nintendo experiment that will fail. This is not motion controls or a screen on a controller. The Switch is the first true laptop of gaming consoles and it will follow the trends of every other industries whenever mobile products are added to the fold. The Switch will sell tremendously. The UI is fantastic and simple. Snappy sounds and quick from anywhere to get back into games. It's all you ask for with a gaming console and a much needed misdirection compared to something like an Xbox that has tried to do too much. That said, there will need to be some needed updated to the interface down the road as game libraries become expanded on your menu screen and the eshop. Scrolling through dozens of games will become a nuisance down the road if something isn't adjusted. The Joy Con are unique. They will seem a bit funky at first. They might not be the best with comfort when used on the grip or separate off handheld, but they aren't terrible. They do get the job done. When connected in handheld mode, any concerns melt away. It feels great in the hands like this. More grip than I expected. Buttons are crisp. The sticks feel limited at first but you quickly acclimate. There's simply no better option for gaming when on the go in this setup. I've had no problems with any of the issues that have been overhyped online. I'm sure there has been a small batch of bad hardware (like every other console release), but the majority seems to be flawless. I'd recommend buying now. It's worth it. Find out how it fits within your own schedule. See how you play in social settings with friends and family. Learn to love it now before the craze really sets in later this year and into 2018.

If you’re looking for the most powerful console available, the Switch isn’t what you are looking for. If you’re looking for a console that’s strength is in its versatility, that’s exactly what the Switch is. I really enjoy using it as a portable more than anything but it’s quick and seemlless transition to the TV using the dock is nice to have. The joycons are pretty cool and provide for some security that most portables can’t because you can replace them. There’s plenty of games worthy of your time on it with a great mix of console quality titles and indie games.
