Customer Ratings & Reviews

Admittedly, I was skeptical about a combo handheld and console, but the transition between the two phases is seemless and amazing. The gameplay is fun and intuitive, and the motion controls are a nice added bonus.

This has been an amazing purchase! The only real down side is the cost of the games. But nintendo has seriously upped their game since i used to play the game cube!

First I bought a lite because I coukdnt get my hands on a console. One day I was lucky to catch a restock...don't lose hope guys.

The Switch is an excellent product, the ability to use the console on a TV or on its own works exactly as advertised and is extremely convenient. Software right now is slim-pickings, but Breath of the Wild may be one of the greatest games ever made, which makes up for an otherwise lackluster launch line-up. The console itself was a lot smaller than I expected, which seemed worrying at first but in practice still ended up being extremely comfortable despite being someone with decently large hands. Out of the box you get the two joycons (mini controllers on the sides of the screen), a grip that emulates the feel of a traditional controller and 2 wrist straps. The ability to break off each joycon to allow for multiplayer works better than you think it would (especially so in Snipperclips), provided you have the wrist straps attached which give more heft to the side buttons (which without the straps are nearly impossible to hit, making them somewhat mandatory). While I was unable to use a Pro Controller, the comfort grip boxed in works well enough. Personally, I played nearly all of my 60+ hours of Zelda with one joycon separated in each hand, which was insanely comfortable. The UI is the quickest out of any modern console. Home screen is snappy and game resume/suspend is instantaneous. Online functionality seems rather limited at the moment, but that's rather typical of Nintendo console launches. Overall it's a great system, though beware of the left joycon desync issues. While they weren't persistent enough to become an actual issue, it did occur enough to be noticeably irritating. The problem seemed to get worse when playing with my feet propped between the controller and the console or when my laptop was near me. Hopefully these issues will be fixed, but it currently seems to be a widespread issue (though it doesn't occur in handheld mode, only docked). I would definitely recommend it once it has some more software. Splatoon 2 is out soon and Mario will make a great holiday title. Solid launch all around.

I'm an avid console guy and I love the 3DS. I thought this was GOING TO BE a super "tablet" experience, but it's far from that. It's a nintendo experience just like the wii where everything is kinda just magical.

Definitely the best console I've owned. Runs great and convenient to take with you on the go.

Love the system. The screen did mess up not long ago and Nintendo took care of it but would have been easier had I had the new total Best Buy membership

My daughter happy with this item, strange, good deals, my best choices

Love what Nintendo did here. Easy to carry, great for kids of all ages. Battery works well. Definitely recommend.

I have minor issues with the Switch, but for the most part I really like it... and there are some really awesome titles available for it, which I have been thoroughly enjoying. (I recommend Breath of the Wild the most, but also Mario Odyssey and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe!) My biggest issue isn’t with the system itself, but with accessories... the real moneymaker for the Switch. There is so much not included that is necessary to make the Switch experience truly great, and you’ll spend upwards of $200 or more on all of that... most of which are plastic add-ons. It also could have a better docking system; to connect to a TV you need to haul the dock around, which is far less convenient than if Nintendo sold a simple USB-C multiport adapter to HDMI and AC for travel use. (Third-parties make those, but can they be trusted?) But as for the system itself, all my complaints are very minor. (The Joy-Con straps feel cheap and breakable, for one, and the bezels on the Switch are MASSIVE)

If you want to game on the go this is your ticket. I've. Been an xbox gamer since the 1st one and have been a gamer for about 15 years. When I bought it I was unsure if I was actually going to like it I had watched some YouTube reviews and read a few things on it so I thought I would give it a shot and I'm definitely happy I did. Unfortunately you can't play n64 games on it yet but lots of people clam its coming. But the new zelda breath of the wild is amazing

Awesome product. Love to play split screen with my GF all sorts of games

I always loved playing Nintendo. I got this system for me and my kids because we played it at the store and got hooked for a lil over a hour. This system is one you can play with the whole family at any family event. Loved this system so much i made my cousin buy her kids one. I will also get another one because it's also hand held. The only thing is connecting the controllers is complicated at times but once you get past that part the fun times begin

I bought one on release loved it but game library was low so I sold it to get a Rift. Bought it again and am not sorry I did. It's great for my wife and I to game together. I also enjoy playing diablo on my couch or on the go among other titles. I have nothing negative to say about it do your research and if you want a nice fun console with portability this is it. Battery life is great. Pick up a pro controller if you want to get serious with some mario kart ;)

This is an awesome device for someone who is on the go! Traveling is a huge part of my job, so it's super convenient! It has 3 modes: home console mode, portable mode and desktop mode. I can play it in my hotel, on a plane, etc. The downside is its lack of games, but Mario Kart 8 and Zelda: Breath of the Wild has kept me pretty occupied. Another downside is the home console dock itself. Apparently, it will scratch your screen. This hasn't happened to me but I throw on a screen protector just in case.

What can I say, the switch has rave reviews across the board. Obviously it doesn't have the power of the PS4 or XBO, but what it can do is offer a great gaming experience at home or on the go. Our household also has a neon model, but I feel much better about using the gray model out in public. Build quality and battery life are great.

One of the best entertainment for my twin boys awesome for the road and easy to play and alot of fun for them.

Everything works great, we are really enjoying our purchase!

I've ignored Nintendo for awhile because their consoles just haven't got the job done. I love the classic Nintendo games, and once I got my hands on this console it took me back to the good old days. It's the best of both worlds with the Gameboy and Nintendo system all in one. You need this system!!

I bought this for my son and I to play Mario Kart but ended up getting Zelda for myself as well. The graphics are great and the convenience of switching from handheld to table top mode is great. The TV adapter cradle is simple and easy as well. Seems more durable than I thought it would be. Overall good purchase. Only thing I wish it had was apps other than Hulu but I'm sure that will come in time. Many games in the store to where I probably won't buy physical copies for a while.
