Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch is a kind of hybrid between a handheld system like the Game Boy or 3DS, and a home console like the Wii. It has a 6.5 inch screen, and is good for hours of gaming on the go. But when you get home, you can drop the device into a dock, slip off the controllers from the side of the console, and play the very same game on your TV. Suddenly, it’s a home console. I’m pretty pleased with Nintendo’s execution of the concept. It feels like less of a toy than some of their other game systems. It’s heavy and solid, but not so heavy that my arms get tired while I play. The system is capable of graphics better than the Wii U, but not up to par with the Xbox One or PlayStation 4. That’s fine for me, and makes sense for a portable system. The controllers are a little small, but feel comfortable and are very responsive. The biggest problem with the Switch right now is the small game library. There are only a few games out for the system right now, and only one - the new Legend of Zelda game - felt like it was worth buying for full price. 1-2-Switch is a fun collection of minigames, but should have been cheap or free and bundled with the system rather than a full-price title. There are new Super Mario, Mariokart, and Splatoon games coming soon, but currently the lineup is a little thin. This very well could be the end of Nintendo having separate product lines for portable and home gaming because, essentially, the Switch does both. It does neither perfectly, but it does both well enough that I don’t know if it will make sense for Nintendo to continue marketing the 3DS.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves playing video games! It is great! Easy to travel with and play whenever you would like!

I bought the switch after not having nintendo for few years and it has made me feel like a kid again playing games with the family definitely recomend

Looked everywhere for this and finally found it here at Best buy. Purchased it for the kids. Gave it to them on Christmas. Loved it.

Was a little nervous buying this, but all I can say is I’m happy I got it for my family ! Easy to play with 2 people and easy to take with you !

Great feature that sets up to your phone to see when device is used and how long its been used. Great road travel device to have keeps kids busy.

Love it!! I bought it as a gift and they love using it!

The Nintendo Switch is unlike any console on the market. It's really one of those things you need to try for yourself to understand the feeling. But something about it just makes you happy. The portability of it is awesome. As a college student, nothing is better than playing it in my dorm and then taking it on the go when I go to class. Though it's not to practical to walk around with it in crowds, the quickness of just a button tap puts it to sleep or wakes it up, and within a seconds you're back to playing where you left off no matter where you are. Its the grab and go that makes it so appealing to me. When more games come out (yeah the launch was a little weak in the games department) I'm sure I'll appreciate the "passing of the Joy-Con for some local multiplayer fun" a whole lot. Just the idea that theconsole technically has two controllers out of the box is pretty awesome. And though some hate on Nintendo's idea of launching with few titles, I think it's smart because it fleshes out the releases of big titles to every few months which allows you to enjoy each title for an adequate amount of time instead of throwing them all in your face at once. Plus, it keeps the console exciting instead of having to wait long periods of time before the next big hit. Nintendo really did right with this console this time around. Other than their production (which they claim to be doubling in the coming months), I think Nintendo learned from their past mistakes with the Switch. If you're looking for a fun new game platform for yourself or your family, definitely pick up the Switch.

This is the the best portable consoles, nintendo has always been a front runner with their gaming consoles. There's no question that this device is great for big parties and endless gaming with friends. Both small and big groups. Lot's of games to choose from, I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a gaming device that can be stationed and used on the go.

The Switch is honestly pretty amazing. The main reason why I love the system is because of its ability to both serve as a home console as well as a portable gaming device.

Great console. Plenty of power packed into this little machine. Battery lasts long when not plugged into the dock aswell. All around fun. Nintendo keeps the party / Split Screen games alive once again. Better with friends to play with but great alone. The online service is $20 for a year compared to the competitors $60. If you’re on the edge and it’s financially responsible, just do it already!

It was an expensive gift for my son but he loves it. Good quality and fun. I do recommend getting the screen protector though to avoid cracks.

Such a well built and versatile console. Can play on the go, but also have that home console experience on the tv. Wish it came with a game.

Really enjoying the system and playing whereever, whenever! Got this during the Holidays and lots of cheap eshop games! Thanks BestBuy & Nintendo!

Good console! The price hasn't changed at all since its launch simply because it's just an overall fun to use portable game system!

Excellent Experience using it. My kids love it. Family moments.

It is great, super easy to use. It's super fun even more so when you play with friends. Some games you can even play with 5 more people!!

I’m not a huge gamer, but I wanted a switch specifically for Animal Crossing; I made the investment, and couldn’t be happier! I love it!

Easy to use. Very portable. Doc, tabletop and handheld mode make it easy to use in every situation. Though price could be a little less.

I bought this Nintendo Switch for my son as a Christmas Gift. It arrived on time and was intact. My son absolutely loves it!! Best Buy, you rock!!!
