Customer Ratings & Reviews

My kid loves it, she has something she can play with intend of watching tv.

I am so impressed with the Switch. The ability to play full games on the go and pick up instantly at home is fantastic. The graphics are great and the gameplay is fluid. If you love Nintendo, don’t hesitate on this. A great product in every way!

Nintendo outdid itself with the Switch. The portable/dockable concept works unbelievably great. The device feels a little heavy, but I suppose its as light as they could make it. And, of course, Mario, Zelda are must have games for the console.

My household is full of Nintendo fanboys, but we know the Wii wasn't a smash hit. We liked the Wii U, but LOVE the Switch! You can play it as a console or a handheld and who couldn't use the versatility of that?! We bought one of each controllers and like them all. No it can't do fancy tricks like the PS4 and doesn't have a ton of storage, but the versatility makes up for that in my opinion. No longer must everyone suffer through watching my kindergartener play the same level of Skylanders repeatedly, or my husband exploring the endless world of Zelda. With the Switch, when we want to watch tv all you do is take the handheld out of the cartridge and continue playing without missing a beat, and Tada! the tv is free! Also, the whole system can be packed up and taken to grandma's or on vacation. Don't forget the perk of being able to play Nintendo exclusive games! The game cartridges are tiny much like the DS so they also are very portable, especially if you buy a carrying case. My only negative critique is that in true Nintendo style, there are limited games on release. We lucked out that the two we were most excited about came out first, Zelda and Imaginators, but we can't wait for some other releases!

Nintendo Switch is THE console to grab. Nowadays there are very few console exclusive games, most games come out for all of the current gen consoles plus PC and Android - but if you want to play Mario and Zelda, you need a Switch. The games that are on all 3 consoles are often BETTER on the switch, Switch has many 'complete, definitive, enhanced' versions which include DLC or other features that are not on other consoles, also - and this is a big one - Nintendo does not censor their games. Games are made all over the world, but if they are going to be released on the playstation they will have to be edited by staff at Sony in California. Nintendo presents the games as they were intended.

We bought this Switch as a Christmas gift for our family of three. Like a lot of people, being home and inside more made us look for some other entertainment means, and also some ways to get a little exercise inside. I bought Just Dance 2021 and Mario Cart to go with the console, along with an extra set of controllers and micro SD card. So far we've been having a lot of fun with it, with Mario Cart seeing the most use. Just Dance is good but I wish there was more content and variety. I think we were lucky to find one of the new consoles at Best Buy before Christmas. Along with the memory card and extra controllers we also put on a screen protector based on some stuff we'd read online.

Love the upgraded graphics of the games on it and it has good battery life

Lot of fun for the whole family. Easy to play games once you get the hang of it. Fun to see three generations of family playing games and having a good time. Only gripe would be the amount of extras to buy and the price. Not inexpensive by any means.

Bestbuy had it available during Christmas and got one for the kids. They love it and very cool over the Xbox and Playstation since they can take it with them since it doubles as a portable device

Nintendo has always been an innovator when it comes to video game systems, and the Nintendo Switch is no exception. The Switch has several great features going for it. While not as powerful as the Playstation 4 or Xbox One, the Switch is still more than powerful enough to output great video quality. When in hand-held (mobile) mode, the Switch runs at 720p. When docked, the Switch can reach up to 1080p. Notice I said up to. Not all games run at 1080. Zelda: Breath of the Wild, for example, runs at 900p. Don't let this minor dip in resolution deter you from playing on the Switch, however. The average user will not notice any hit to the visual quality of the games. If I had not read about the resolution, I would have thought it was 1080p quality. Like any new game system, the game library is small. This is not enough to dock points from the review, however. Zelda is such a great game to keep players occupied for a while until new games are released. Mario Kart, Splatoon 2, Super Street Fighter, Mario Oddsey, and many other great games are soon to come. The portability of the Switch is my favorite feature of the system. It offers players the ability to take the fun with them on the go. Games can be played on your big screen when the system is placed in the Switch docking station. The docking station even charges your system. When removed from the dock, the system can play games on the Switch's large screen. The screen is larger than that of the Nintendo 3DS XL screens, and the 720p resolution is more than enough to deliver amazing image quality. The one minor flaw with the system is that it fits a bit snug when placed in the docking station. There are some rubber grips inside the dock that hold the Switch game system in place. While it may not seem like a big deal at first, over time docking and undocking the system will smudge (and possibly scratch) the screen of the Switch. Some easy and cheap solutions to resolve this issue are to 1) buy a glass screen protector for the Switch screen, or 2) buy a felt slip-cover to place over the wall of the docking station to prevent rubbing by the Switch. Although this is a minor annoyance, once you install the above mentioned solution, the issue will no longer be of concern. In closing, I think that the Switch is a great system and I see myself using it as my primary game system. I'll still use the PS4 and Xbox One, but the portability and game library are what will keep me playing. It's great for road trips and playing at home.

My daughter loves everything about this device It was a birthday gift for her and she almost fainted she was so happy lol

Great gaming system for traveling. Portable, easy to use

It took me a few hours but I finally got one. Now we have 2, one for my daughter and one for us. It only took about 4 days to get it and it works perfectly.

We had been looking for a Switch for 3 months- had been checking availability online daily and got lucky a month ago. Purchased Super Mario Odyssey and Luigi's Haunted Mansion- my son is a very happy boy!

I love having a portable console!!! I take it on work trips, I take it on family trips, I play at home on my couch, I play at home with the family, I play in the car with the family, we play at Grandma's house as a family. It's been AMAZING!!!

I finally found the Nintendo switch at a price I could afford. My grandson loves it. It completed his birthday.

This console works amazing as both a traditional console as well as a handheld. I enjoy being able to be right in the middle of a game and just pull the Switch out of the dock and continue playing. Very well designed UI and very responsive.

Really amazing. I love that I can share the nostalgia of playing some of the game boy classics with my son and also let him play the newer games. I also love that we can play the “Wii” style games!

Super easy to set up. Really cool that it can be a console or a hand held. Only comes with one controller for use as a console so plan to buy a second one if you plan to play two player games.

Amazing product. Definitely worth the money i paid for it.
