Customer Ratings & Reviews

before buying i read many reviews and had learned of some problems the system had but overall it is a fun system to play on although upon first starting it up it is pretty empty and devoid of much of anything but that's a good thing considering the system storage.

The Nintendo switch is one up on any of the other consoles . It still has the same great characters from the original and then some . I can play with my 13 yr.old and actually be able to have a clue about how or what I'm playing .

I personally love the Nintendo switch and so does my son. They have plenty of games for everyone. Works great as a handheld device or playing on a big screen by using the Switch Dock. Easy to figure out and work with. My son is 4 and he plays it without any issues.

Initially I was skeptical about purchasing this gaming console, however I/we love it. The console can used as portable device by a single user or put it into its docking station and the entire family can join in the fun. You can either purchase a game card or download a game from Nintendo online store just make sure you have big enough memory card inserted into the console. The only think I would like Nintendo to improve in the future are the parental controls. The Nintendo Switch supports multiple user profiles as all other gaming consoles do, however the parental controls are applied to the entire console instead of a specific user profile which makes the parental controls a bit n\more cumbersome to use if you share the Switch with your entire family. However this was not a deal breaker for us.

I was skeptical about getting the Switch in the beginning, thinking that I had aged out of the Nintendo generation (I'm an 80's baby). But i would argue to say that if there was any age group that appreciates the nostalgia of the original Nintendo games and gets to relive them in their latest iteration, this is a must-have console. If all you do is play Mario Kart, Zelda, Smash Bros Ultimate, Pokemon, and Mario Bros. Deluxe (when it comes out), getting a switch will have been completely worth it. Definitely my go-to piece of hardware for any prolonged air-travel.

Got this for my sisters they play with it all the time have never once had a problem

Referred by a friend to purchase this console. Playing the Nintendo game with family members every day. User-friendly for everyone. And there are lots of fun games that can play with friends together. New way to get parties up!!

I dont know why i have never thought of owning one when this Nintendo console came out..I mainly play with Playstation 4 Pro but now i'm hooked with this console and started buying all its accessories and its essentials.

The Nintendo Switch is absolutely the future of gaming. The ability yo play how you want, when you want is the thing gamers have been asking for for what seems like an eternity. Sure, we have had handheld system and console(home) systems for years. And the Wii U and PS4/vita tried to allow us a new way to play with their remote options...but they left us out in the cold on truly playing the same games both inside and outside your home. The switch remedies that. Want to play on your couch on the tv? Disconnect the joy con, and play either using them individually in both hands, or with the dog ear controller. Want a more traditional controller grab the pro controller which feels comfortable in your hands. Want to play two player? Hand one joy con to your buddy or child and play together with them turned sideways. Want to watch something on tv while playing? Undock the switch and play it in handheld mode by connecting the joycon to the tablet. Or play in table top mode with the built in kick stand. Want to take it to a friend's house slip it in a case (sold by itself) and go. I've seen seen people playing it at the park, at the restaurant, the library and more. Truly play your games anywhere you want..including while on the toilet. Now a few quick notes. Some people have said the dock can scratch the tablet..I have not had this issue nor have any of my friends or family that own the system. A quick fix if your worried is to buy a screen protector just like you would a phone if you are worried...which you might want to do if you play to play it on the go a lot anyway. ( look up Switch dock socks on etsy..if you want a custom way to help protect your system in dock) There was a brief issue with joy con synch...again I didn't have an issue with this at all, and Nintendo has already corrected the issue in manufacturing and software updates. Those two issue aside, which has actually been Only on a minority of the 2pkus million systems already sold in a month the switch is fantastic. My only complaint is lack of "on board storage" (only 32gb)Make sure to buy yourself a 64+ gb sdxc card as your gonna want some of the digital only games. While I wish I didn't have to go that route it's no different then many tablets or phones so we're pretty used to it. last note: games If you can get only one....get: ZELDA Breath of the Wild is easily the best game of the last 2 years. Complete open world adventuring with all the traditional ZELDA charm. Make sure to pick it up. There are plenty of games in developement set to launch this year and beyond. I can't suggest this system enough. As a gamer (who owns systems from every company) it is a perfect addition to my gaming addiction and an innovation in how we play. One I am sure the competitors will be copying in the near future.

I tried out another Switch before buying my own, so it was exactly what I expected! I love it! I use it daily to play Animal Crossing. It’s super easy to use, & my grandma got one shortly after I did. She loves hers too!

Never owned a Nintendo console, and happy I got this one! Equally as happy that it was finally in stock on Bestbuy.com, and that it was MSRP! Ease of setup and selection of games is great. Happy I made the purchase!!!

Excellent product, excellent quality and great design. I have been using it for 2 months without any problems.

Nintedo Switch is a great family video game system. Lots of fun titles including all the favorites like Mario Kart and Zelda BOTW. I really enjoy the multiplayer games like Overcooked and recently Animal Crossing.

I've had this for about a month. I did all the updates to make the firmware current because at first, I was getting connection issues when I startup. I thought the firmware updates would fix that but it doesn't do it often. It does getting a little annoying at times. My family does enjoy the portability and games the console has to offer. I did read that some people do experience the connection issue and it could be something with the settings on the router.

I like how you can either connect to the TV or use it as a portable console and my kids love it. There are plenty of games you can download and you also get coins when purchasing games so you can get some games for 'free'.

I've been on the market for a Nintendo Switch for the past 2 years, but I've been hesitant/on the fence about it because of the lofty $300 price tag. However, this past year, with the release of Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past for the Switch, I just had to relive the experience that I once had way back when I played this game on the Nintendo Gameboy. So this past Black Friday, I decided to just go for it. After reading product reviews and other blogs, I quickly came to realize that Nintendo had just recently released an updated Switch with better hardware. And by hardware, I mean the battery. The original model included a battery which held a charge for 2.5-6.5 hours. The game system that comes with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, is likely that original model. The newer model is the exact same switch, from what I can tell, however it comes with a better battery. The newer batter can hold a charge from 4.5-9 hours. The unfortunate thing regarding the newer model is that currently, it does not come with a game. But, I decided to forgo getting a free game with a worse battery and instead purchased the new model. The important thing to know when shopping for a Switch is that the outside packaging (box) doesn't tell you which battery you are getting. So if you just grab one off the shelf, you won't know just by looking at the box if it is the old model or the new model. However, from what I have read online, you are able to tell based on the first 3 letters of the serial number. On the bottom of the box, locate the serial number. For the newer battery, look for the serial number that starts with XKW (not XAW). XAW is the old model, while XKW is the new model. Additionally, if you are buying an open box/used switch, you can tell which model you are getting based on the MOD number on the back of the unit. When looking at the back, look for where it says MOD, if you want the newer model, you want the HAC-001(-01) model. If it says the MOD is HAC-001, that is the older model. While you are essentially getting a discount by purchasing a Nintendo Switch with a game included at the same price as a Switch without a game, I personally think it's much better to get a console which comes with a longer battery charge.

I am so happy with my new game system. I have always wanted one and now I have one.

I still remember buying the original NES with my dad in the 80's and playing that day until I couldn't keep my eyes open. Now I'm reliving that experience with my son. This system is #1 on his xmas list this year so I've tested it out ahead of time and I can say it's a very unique gaming experience. The motion controls are seamless. It takes a while to get used to the joycons and I feel they're probably going to be easier for my son's small hands to control. Thankfully you can purchase a pro controller separately if you have larger hands. I did purchase some extra accessories that I didn't realize were actually included in the box (wrist straps and comfort grip). So far I have tried the new Mario and Zelda games and I would highly recommend them. The "switch" component is novel, but I'm not sure we'll be utilizing the portability of this system much. Overall totally worth the sticker price!

I had to get a second one as the kids love the first one. I have had no issues. I love that I can buy a game on one and use it on the other. That was the one concern I had and was happy to see the result. Love it.

My son is six and he wanted the switch for Christmas. So to make sure he wanted it I brought him in the store, and every time he would run to play MARIO. So I got it for him, since he’s been playing on the original Nintendo and Super. Great gift and family fun.
