Customer Ratings & Reviews

I really really enjoy this system. It sure has a few flaws, hence no 5 stars, but everything else it offers I feel outweighs its problems. Cons - Some will say battery life, although I play casually so not AS much an issue for me, but it is still not so great. Definitely shut it off completely if you don't plan on playing it throughout day or charging it. - Screen is great in handheld mode, but the stand on the back of the switch is very poorly made. It is very tough to keep the switch propped up on it's stand. Also, it's tough to play a game while it is propped up, the screen is not big enough to fully enjoy from a bit of a distance. Would need to be a game with not a lot of detail or reading involved. - The Dock DOES scratch the system. Invest in a good $10 screen protector. It really does make a difference. Pros - Portability is great! it is a bit large so tough to carry around everywhere, but I throw it in my book bag (in a case I purchased for $10) and pull it out when I want to play. - The feel of the joycon controllers are great, I really love playing while it is docked to the TV and with a joycon in each hand, also handheld mode feels good and great to use. This system is still in it's early phase and currently doesn't offer a whole lot. Soon when it has more apps and games, it will definitely be 100% worth owning. If you are iffy on it, I say wait till it has more to offer before making a decision. I currently love it, but I think a large part is due to Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

I really love the Nintendo Switch! It’s easy to use and it has lots of games that has really evolve! Can yo say childhood memories!

This was a weird step for Nintendo to take, merging their portable and console business into one. However, i believe that this console will pay off much more than the Wii u. Its great to be able to take your games anywhere you want! Playing Zelda at home or on a plane or another friends house is awesome. The simplicity of the dock and go is awesome and great for console appeal. The hardware has great build quality that doesn't scream cheap toy like the Wii u. Its elegant and sleek yet it has the Nintendo charm we all love. The joycons are actually pretty good controllers too surprisingly. Although small in my hands, they are still comfortable and have some weight to them.

A Nintendo console launch is always a special event, and the launch Switch was no different. After the under-performing Wii U (secretly a great console that will be remembered with Dreamcast-esq fondness, mark my words) Nintendo was under pressure to knock it out of the park with their next system, and by all measures they have. The Switch combines the best of console gaming with the convenience of a portable. Start your game at home and then take it with you wherever you go! It also doesn't hurt that the system launched with Zelda: Breath of the Wild, one of the highest rated games of all times. If you have the opportunity to grab this console, do it, you won't be disappointed.

this is the gaming system i have owned since xbox 360 and the first nintendo since nintendo 64 and boy have things changed! i mean can i say that hasn't already been said? its a great game system for all ages, the interactive games are my favorite.

The Nintendo Switch may not be the most technically advanced console on the market, however it is the most flexible. Switching from handheld mode to TV mode is as easy and effortless as the advertisements make it out to be! The Nintendo Switch is a pioneer for what playing games will be like in the future. You can play any time, any where, and any way you like. Sony and Microsoft would be smart to consider implementing similar design decisions into their next consoles. Nowadays, most people are always on the go and don't have time to sit down for hours in front of the TV. This is the console for the people like me who are always on the go, and rarely at a standstill.

Covers all bases. You can play on your tv, and take it with you. The selection of games is getting larger. It’s really worth the money. The innovation is phenomenal.

My family absolutely loved playing the more interactive games (nostalgia from Wii System) and the exercise games like the Ring Fit.

This is the most wanted game, and of course I buy it because of that. The system loads quick and is very enjoyable. It's a game console for the whole family. The quality is so good, and comes in compact design to easy handle and storage.

It was purchased as a gift for someone. They loved it. Easy to setup and very user friendly. Compatible for all ages. Very good quality.

If you’re looking for insane graphics 1080p and 4K gaming you’re out of luck. The switch is not for you. I only use this in portable mode. The gameplay on the go is what shines on this console. The focus on this is games and by far they have an excellent lineup. Would recommend this for anyone.

Simple and classic games the family can enjoy together.

This is an excelent purchase if you're looking to have some fun with the whole family. There's so many games to play with more than one player and the best thing is you can play on the go!

What's most amazing about this console is the portability. To be able to play AAA games on the go that's not touch control like ipads/iphones or semi decent graphics like ps vita and 3ds but instead full fledged games.. it's a dream come true. The console doesn't get hot in your hands, at most it gets warm but is never uncomfortable. The screen is nice and bright but it is made of plastic so it will scratch if thrown loosely into a bag with other items, make sure to buy a screen protector (If you can get your hands on one). I've put 70+ hours into Zelda alone and i'm super excited for amazing Nintendo games to be released and super happy that the Nintendo Switch exists.

I actually bought it for my son . He loves it so much.

What a comeback by Nintendo. They made a sleek, fun portable gaming system with a small launch batch of games, but a solid batch. I hope the switch catches on because this thing is addicting.

Bought this for my little brother. Has YouTube, his favorite game, and is able to play with his friends. Great for little kid entertainment.

This console is selling like hotcakes and that is for a reason. It took a while to finally buy one and I can see why. First of all my only complaint is that it doesn't come with any games bundled in. Besides that, it comes with a lot of accessories. The console itself is awesome. It's innovative and unique. You can play it like a handheld game or you can hook up to your TV and play. There's also a way you can play on a table like the touchscreen is a mini tv. Nothing left to say besides buy this, you won't regret it.

Between the various sports and Mario games, we have found that the Nintendo Switch does a pretty good job of keeping our family active while playing!
