Customer Ratings & Reviews

Familiar with both handheld and home console gaming alike on various systems, (NES, Gameboy, 64, Gamecube, DS, Wii, and 3DS), the Nintendo Switch was an exciting purchase for me because of its hybrid functionality. When it comes to the Nintendo Switch, the developers at Nintendo did not disappoint. Their team designed a sleek console and created an exceptional hybrid gaming experience with solid titles like Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and others. Whether you are playing in the comfort of your living room on your TV, on a road trip, with a group of friends, or alone curled up in bed, the Switch's hybrid functionality makes it Nintendo's most innovative and flexible console to date, and it provides hours of entertainment for really any age. Regardless of how I choose to play a game, the design and flexibility of the Switch's Joy-Cons makes "switching" from different controller modes fun, and a super easy and intuitive experience. Pros: - EXCELLENT design of console and controllers - Console itself is very durable, docking it is straightforward and easy - Easy to switch from handheld, to Joy-Cons, to controller, etc. (satisfying, almost fun "click" sound when the controllers are attached in place), a sleek and intuitive experience. - Option of neon red/blue vs gray Joy-Cons (there are other color options as well, sold separately, or are available depending on what bundle you buy) - Graphics are excellent - Great sound - Both physical game cartridges and digital download options are available - Good storage space - Great game library - Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Yoshi's Crafted World, Super Mario Maker 2, Fortnite, etc. - Excellent overall user experience! Cons: - No backwards compatibility for older games on Wii or Wii U - Battery life could be a little better. For example, it's good for about 2.5-3 hours when playing Super Mario Odyssey in handheld mode. Overall, for the Nintendo Switch, I would say the positives far outweigh the negatives. In a nutshell, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this console! There's a great library of games on this system which all provide literally hours of fun for friends and family of really any age.

Though I have a PS4, I have been mainly using my Switch for more casual, indie, and first party games more often than not. The convenience in being able to take this console anywhere is a game changer. Being able to take this console to a friend's place to play a bunch of multiplayer games with ease is one of my favorite features.

We bought this for my son and he seems to really enjoy it. He’s 5 years old and seems to be able to navigate the games and system well.

The Nintendo Switch is the perfect console for handheld and home use! Being able to play games like Zelda and Mario Odyssey on the go is amazing! The motion control joy-cons are perfect for when guests are over and I can turn on 1-2 Switch and Just Dance! Great third party support also like Doom and Skyrim! Gotta love Nintendo!

I haven’t stopped playing!! Very good system on the go

Love the switch! so versatile and not a gimmick. I was skeptical at first because I wasn't sure how well the docking and to go playing will be but it's just so simple. Just dock in to play and pull it out to play on the go, it works flawlessly. Best nintendo system ever made!

It's a Christmas gift for my daughter. I hope she likes it. I can't give much detail, since the product is closed and I can't get it until it's Christmas.

I have to say that I was very pleased with the Nintendo Switch. It's not the most powerful console, and the "controller" is not super comfortable to use (but it's not that bad). The fact that you can take the Switch on the go is interesting. I've not used it outside of the house, but I did take the Switch to my room when somebody else was using the tv. I've never been able to do that with any other major console. The inclusion of one controller is annoying. If you want to play with somebody else locally, another controller is needed and Nintendo charges a LOT for a controller.

I haven't used a console in many years, being preferentially a PC gamer, but the flexible options for using this console either as a handheld or on my big screen TV makes it a very compelling option, and something that you can't really do with PC. Highly recommend if you prefer to game while on mass transit (or as a passenger).

The switch is so good for around the go. so fun. get the option of getting so many games. Good for kids and adults

Works great my kids all enjoy playing. And i enjoy it sometimes when they are sleeping playing games o havent seen since i was a kid.

We bought this for our son. He really enjoys playing with it. Very easy to use. The thing that really makes it special is that you can transport it with you. Not only can he play it on the television but he can take it on a road trip. The other game consoles can't do that.

The device is good mobile game device with good games

Nintendo Switch is a great handheld gaming system!

I play this more than my ps4, & PC. And, well, ps4 and pc are cheaper games, espcially pc, yet i still buy more games and spend more time on the switch. The best part is, Nintendo is caterring to majority of the public rather than a a small certain audience. (Adult theme'd games, Shooters like DOOM, rockstar games, indie games)

This game system was perfect for me and my family. Something we can play at home or on the go! Highly recommend for a first time game system and especially for a family with younger children. We talked other family members to buy so we can all play together online!

Loads of fun and blows the Nintendo wii and Wii U away. The key is its being so portable. I still have a ps4 and that is my multi console game system. I only buy the Nintendo exclusive games like Mario and Zelda. also feel that these games and better for younger kids. Only downfall is that accessories are ridiculously expensive.

I love how portable it is and the selection of games.

So happy I finally grabbed a switch! I thought I’d be playing mostly on my TV but I bring this thing everywhere. Getting a ton of use out of it, totally worth the investment.

We love the switch !! I bought this system for my 4 yr old who likes her cartoon games and dancing. She loves playing Cocomelon $ Paw Patrol. Highly recommend.
