Customer Ratings & Reviews

i wanted to buy myself a switch for a long time and was just too nervous to drop the money, but i finally bought one and im so glad i did. it works perfectly and im having so much fun with it, i definitely feel like my money was well spent. i was a little upset when i realized the switch didn’t come with enough storage space for just two digital games that i wanted and that i would have to buy a microSD card to finish the download, but i guess that was my way of learning the value of physical game cards, so i’ll make sure to buy physical copies from now on ;)

I had been looking for this particular system as a requested gift for my 7-yr old grandchild. Although this system can out a year earlier, my grandchild was too young I thought to have this gaming system. Boy was I ever wrong. Not only was she old enough, but she has no problem opening and setting up the system by herself. Not only has she shown her mom how to play, she has defeated most of the adults that she plays with. Another good thing about this system is that it can be broken down and used as a take-a-long game system which she can play by herself. I am glad I purchased this system as it can be played with others or by one's self. I would highly recommend for anyone that loves to play games.

Great gaming system, for home and on the go, portable, I recommend to every one,

When I first heard about Nintendo's new console code-named the "Nintendo NX", I was skeptical regarding what Nintendo was going to introduce next after the lackluster sales and game output of the Nintendo Wii U. As time went on, Nintendo introduced various trailers and Nintendo Directs which explained about their new console the Nintendo Switch. After watching several hours of various video content regarding the Switch, I was still a bit skeptical. How powerful will their console be? How will the joy-con controllers feel in the hand? What is the battery life of the console while in handheld mode? These among other questions were raised. Fast forward to today. I am pleasantly surprised with this new Nintendo console. The joy-con controllers actually fit well in your hands. I have fairly large man-hands and I had no discomfort while using the joy-cons with the included wrist strap. The wrist strap adds more bulk to the joy-cons and also gives the shoulder buttons a more profound feeling. In this past month of using the Switch, I have found myself using the console in handheld mode 95% of the time. It feels just right in that mode. As for battery life, I can say that I get a solid 3 hours while playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It takes about 2 hours or so ti fully charge using the included USB-C wall adapter. I have been surprised with how great games look on the Switch. With me being primarily a PC gamer, the visuals of games like Zelda look very nice. Sure, it's no console capable of 4k resolution extreme photo-realistic visuals, but it definitely looks better than previous Nintendo consoles. I used the Switch once in desktop mode with my best friend. We set the tablet portion of the Switch on his car's dash and let the kickstand out to keep it propped up. We both played a good bit of Fast RMX on the Switch using the joy-cons. I have to say it was a flawless experience. It is VERY nice being able to have a large size screen on the Switch to be able to play multiplayer titles anywhere. I do believe this is what Nintendo is going for with the Nintendo Switch. Multiplayer gaming anytime, anywhere. Overall, I have to say I have greatly enjoyed my time using the Switch and I will definitely be buying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Splatoon 2 when they release. Oh, and Super Mario Odyssey when it finally releases this holiday season. I highly recommend this game console if you want a home console experience available to you anywhere.

Nintendo Switch is awesome and so much fun. You can play on hand held or tv mode. It is portable and the graphics are amazing. 1080 p and flawless. If you have any problems with your Switch call Nintendo and they will take great care of you. Had an issue with our dock and they fixed it for us. Anyone can pick this up and play it. Too many good games for this console, and many good ports. Had to buy a second one because the spouse is hogg. Nintendo has put out an update that now allows you to transfer your save data and profile to the new switch with out loosing anything. You will have to re-download eshop games however as they are only one unit. Recommend getting the 128 GB Micro Sd Card, pro controller and a tempered glass screen protector because the screen is plastic on the switch and could scratch. You will be very happy.

I've been wanting a switch for a while, and I finally got around to buying one. It's a great console with the option to either play handheld or on the TV. The versatility of the switch (as its name suggests) is definitely one of its strong points. My only complaints is the battery life is not always the best on handheld and the charging port is on the bottom (which makes it difficult when you're trying to use the kickstand in handheld mode). But, these in no way impact how much I enjoy the console. I'm really glad I bought it, and I recommend it to anyone (whether you play individually or with friends/families) as it is a great, enjoyable device that has really kept me entertained while in lockdown due to COVID-19.

Great product to entertain young folks. I should have purchased two

I haven't owned a portable gaming system since the Nintendo Gameboy Advance and I have to say the Nintendo Switch definitely delivers that old nostalgia of my childhood. I wanted to get a Switch when it first came out, but I decided to wait until Nintendo released the second version with improved battery life. I like that they have many of the new popular games available to play like NBA 2k, but they also have the classic games for free like Super Mario Bros. My only complaint is that the console itself doesn't have much storage, and you have no choice but to purchase a micro SD card for extra storage which can be expensive. In the future, Nintendo should include a micro SD card with the system.

I love the switch my son loves it so much and plays on it every day

We have had this for a few months so far, and we really enjoy having it. We were pretty late to jumping on the bandwagon for this system, but I am glad we were able to finally get out own. It figures that when we do get it, they announce the future release of the Nintendo 2 being in the works for next year. Just our luck! I do hope that they continue to support this system for a long while yet, because we were really frustrated with the cutoff with the Nintendo 3DS store. Using this in it's dock is streamline and easy. I will say that it can be a bit uncomfortable after a while, when holding it as a portable system, though. The controllers sit nice, but the little bit of wiggle is enough to be noticeable. We are still getting adjusted to it, but I do prefer to use the controller on the handheld attachment that comes with it. I was hoping to snatch the Mario edition that was around at the same time, but unfortunately they were sold out at my local store! We do not have very many games for it, but so far the ones we have played have been really fun so far! Graphics are great, no issues with lagging, sound, etc! *knock on wood* We did purchase a larger storage card so that way we could have more space for downloading games, when we are able to. I will say that the storage is a bit lacking when you consider the sheer size of some the games you can play on this system. So just please keep that in mind! Mind you, you do not have to get the branded Nintendo SD Card, as we just picked up a different brand SD card from another store. It works just fine, so far.

We love our switch. No issues, love the portability of the device

Way better than I though. Easy to carry and offers a lot of battery life to play on the go.

We purchased this as a christmas gift for our son. It was easy to set up, and get running. The monthly subscription we pur hased with it give access to variety of free games each month. The battery hold a charge for a long time, holds up to long car rides. My son put the controls in backward and we thought they were stuck and ruined, but the people at nintendo anticipated this mistake and put in a "fail safe", so nothing was ruined. It was pricey, in my non-gamer opinion, but the longer we have it the more worth it it seems. If you have a kid that will tote it around with them, i highly recommend adding cases and screen protectors.

Set up was really easy. And I still have memory after all these years. My only issue were updates for the downloaded games take long and for the system. My joy cons I never had a issue with or need to replace. I love how I can use it on the tv with the dock or have it set up well I am chilling in bed.

I bought the Switch because I was looking forward to playing the classic games that I grew up with along with some that my kids enjoyed in the early Nintendo days. However, there are so many GREAT new games that cover virtually every type of gameplay one could want. I personally like games where there is a thinking element involved (puzzles/riddles to solve) instead of just jumping in and shooting everything in sight. I also like that many of the games can be played solo, with others in your house, or online with friends. The portability of this console makes it great for road trips, and I have been very pleased with the battery life.

The switch is great. Fun little cozy system to play when laying in bed at night

The Switch is awesome! You can play it at home or on the go. Never had a problem with battery as long as your aware and take a charger if needed. Take it with me so I can play during breaks. The ports on the handheld is strangely laid out but not bad. If you already own a console, this is still a viable option. Highly recommend getting SD card as well. One game took up half the storage in device so be aware if your buying triple A digital games like Zelda or Mario.

This is the first Nintendo system I've purchased since the Wii and I have zero regrets about it. Having read generally favorable reviews, I had a hard time passing on this initially as I wanted a solid portable system to replace my Vita which just wasn't getting the game support I wished it would. Having the one-two punch of being both a portable system and standard console made it too hard to resist in the end, and I am extremely glad that I made the choice to pick it up! I've seen preferences vary for everyone on how to use the system and my preferred method when not doing local multiplayer is to play in handheld mode. While I love it, the ergonomics aren't the best and I'll find my hand/wrist hurting after playing for an hour or so (sometimes less). A case grip will help this issue, but I haven't found quite the perfect one yet. For local multiplayer, being able to split the joycons up to create two separate controllers is genius and extremely convenient. I have yet to have a reason to purchase any additional hardware for the system as a result. Finally, the games are generally what makes the system, and Nintendo shines here. They now have two of the best games of the year with Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of the Wild which combined will give you hundreds of hours of gameplay. Golf Story and a number of other indie titles have emerged as hits as well and are definitely something to look into when you get the system for yourself. With other AAA titles like Doom, Skyrim, and Wolfenstein II coming up I just keep getting more and more excited that I have this system. I recommend it to anyone and everyone as the versatility of it ensures that in some way, shape, or form it will be exactly what any gamer, casual or hardcore, prefers and loves.

Had a lot of fun using it ! Brought back that idk school game boy feel with the old school Pokémon games.

In my honest opinion, the Nintendo Switch is an excellent device in terms of build quality and overall experience. However, it lacks enough variety in games, and the prices of many games are not affordable for everyone. For example, a game priced at $70 may realistically feel worth around $34, while a $29 game may feel closer to $17 in value. This is simply my perspective as someone from the middle-income group, where buying the console is possible, but continuously purchasing expensive games becomes difficult. In the long run, this can reduce overall sales and limit accessibility for many players. Thank you.
