Customer Ratings & Reviews

The switch gives you great games and flexibility with it's portability, but the system does come with some faults. It comes with very little memory, 32 gb, which will run out very quickly if you prefer to purchase games digitally. In my opinion this almost requires you to purchase a memory card which will cost you at least another $15-$25. Also I am very careful when placing the system into it's dock, despite this it ends up with some scuff marks on the bottom corners. This also pushed me to purchase a glass screen protector for another $10. The last complaint I have about the system is that the buttons and joysticks feel very small and make my hands cramp up if I'm playing for more than an hour and can make some games feel awkward when performing certain actions. I would say that I have small to average hands so I can imagine it being worse for people with larger hands. Despite these problems I love the system overall. I would recommend it just in terms of the portability factor and the games available currently(Zelda, Mario, Xenoblade 2) as well as games slated to come out in the next few years(Metroid, Pokemon, Smash, etc.).

I was saving my reward points for a switch for a while, and when i finally had the funds for it (aka Free switch from reward points) thats when all went south around the world. One thing that happened was that people were buying the console immidiately just to flip it on Ebay for double the price. So for two-three months i was looking for the console at BestBuy and no luck. I installed the BestBuy app, and after a couple of weeks of looking for the console, i finally saw that Grey Sold Out turn Yellow Add to Cart. I hit my reward points and immediately added the console to my cart. I hit purchase and got it! Enough Story. Onto the System It handles Beautifully, great game library, pretty decent battery life for how powerful the system is. The joycons are actually pretty cool, although i like more meat on my controller so i bought a regualr 20$ controller to use with it. I will say that my main complain is that the Dock is super cheap! it works, however sometimes it disconnects from the TV, and it just kind of low quality, lots of edges (becareful with the switch screen around it). I highly recommend this, while i use PC for most of my games, this console has turned into my favorite followed by the PS2. But at the same time it is also a handheld so it has turned into my favorite handheld console followed by the 3DS XL.

Nintendo did a great job with this system only possible by the new USB type C standard. Feels great in your hands after you get used to the weight and the battery lasts a good amount of time undocked. No part of the designs feels like an after thought except maybe the micro SD card slot, but not a huge issue. This console falls short of some things. 1. Storage: with only 32 gb of onboard storage you are going to need an SD card soon after purchase depending on the games you play. More storage space would have been great but also may have drove up the price. 2. No Bluetooth headset support is a hit to private play on the go. The current work around involves a dongle; something that is universally hated at this point. The joycons paid over Bluetooth so the option is there it's just not enabled. 3. No way to save games externally. Whether on the cloud or SD card you can not back up your save data and if your system breaks you are out of luck, It's that simple. Most of the issues can be resolved by simple software updates but should have been implemented from the beginning, which is a shame for an otherwise great console.

I grew up on the Nintendo DS and when I saw that the switch one on sale, I had to buy it. The Nintendo switch is an amazing game system and makes playing multiplayer games an even greater experience. I love how portable this is and the fact that it can link to a TV to play on a larger screen it’s just amazing.

Gone... they were all gone, GameStop, target, Walmart everywhere, but for some reason I decided to check Best Buy every once in a while. One day I saw that it was in stock, I thought it might have been a glitch in the system but sure enough when I got that confirmation email and the pick up email it was all real. I recommend to do check the website or app often, it does come back in stock every once in a while since I’ve checked in again before and saw it in go in stock (Most likely one or two in stock at a time cuz it immediately goes out of stock). So if you see it in stock TAKE ADVANTAGE IMMEDIATELY!! Now to the ACTUAL review it’s everything to be expected, amazing. I wanted the switch because I wanted a hand held gaming system like the psp (RIP old friend) while also being able to be active and play with friends like the regular wii, and this was the perfect fit. I did get the 256 Sandisk memory card cuz a friend says the storage goes quickly, plus there was a massive sale on it so it was worth it. Very fun and I’m glad I was able to snag one.

A fun, well-made game system with amazing versatility. It runs very smoothly, and the battery life is long.

Great system. Super portable and works great for traveling.

Oh Nintendo you really make me want one of these now. What an awesome product. Brilliant portable gaming system. The controls are superb and the game selection is just mind blowing. I have two kids and now my daughter wants her own Switch Light. I may have to buy her one for Christmas this year as they are constantly fighting over it. They both LOVE IT! I may have to buy me one too, I try to get them to go to bed early so I can play with it sometimes. LOL!!!

This console is a beauty and sure it’s last generation, but it still gets the job done and has a lot of game options.

I am very happy with the Nintendo Switch Neon Blue and Neon Red. It is easy to set up, the screen looks great, and the Joy-Con controllers are comfortable to use. I like that I can play both at home on the TV and on the go in handheld mode. The game selection is excellent, and the battery life is good for everyday gaming. Overall, it is a fun, versatile console that I would definitely recommend.

I don't usually buy consoles at launch, mostly because of availability but also launch titles. Given that Zelda was available at launch, I had to get the Switch. I was really surprised at how compact, portable, and seamless the whole thing is. The dock allows for such easy transition from TV to the console itself. It packs well for travel, and the price point is great. Splatoon 2 was another great title to pick up and am finally looking forward to spending more time with my Switch with Mario and Xenoblade 2 coming out soon.

I got this gift for my lover and they absolutely love it. The games are great and bring fun to hand held games

I was waiting for this console to be in stock because of Zelda. When I finally got my hands on it I was blown away. The portability is just so nice and convenient for a lazy day when I don’t wanna get out of bed or I’m on the go. The red and blue joy cons are so lovely and beautiful looking. The Hd rumble is very nice and the system plays so well and looks gorgeous. Being able to play handled and on TV is a huge plus that makes it so different and fun. It is definitely worth the buy and should be picked up by any gamer.

The Switch is really an awesome console. Nintendo knows how to make great games. They have a way about them that no other console maker has. I have a PS4, XBOX One as well, but my favorite games are on the switch. Mario Odyssey, and Zelda Breath of the Wild are probably worth getting the console over (independently), not to mention Splatoon 2, or the family fun game 1-2 Switch (great for young kids 4 years to adult). It may not be for everyone, but it is probably about as close as you will get to the perfect console.

Love this game consule. You are able to take it with you anywhere to play with it or put it in the tv. I love that it has a comination of games from nintendo or even the games that used to be in ps or xbox only. My son plays games everyday. He also loves it.

This is hands down the best gaming console out there today. Out of the box it’s great for any situation; on-the-go or at home, playing solo or with a friend with the included controller. The online store has a vast variety of games genres, expanding Nintendo’s previously limited selection with games for more mature audiences, while also keeping their classic family-friendly games. The Nintendo Switch is the perfect console for every type of gamer.

This console is awesome. I take it to work with me every single day and play it on my breaks. Or when I'm out at a friends house and we aren't doing anything, I'll pull this baby out and have tons of fun. I don't have any of the multiplayer games yet like Mario cart, but when I do we will all be playing instead of just me. This is the future of Nintendo, and they have plenty of good games out right now and more coming in the future. Also, this is the best way to play indie games. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

I was looking for a new way to have fun. I love this product because of all the ways to use it.

I recall my first Nintendo was a GameBoy color as a kid back in the 90s and mostly playing Pokémon, Mario, and Donkey Kong on all their mobile platforms up until the GBA SP when at some point I lost interest in favor of Xbox and PlayStation. I haven’t played or purchased a Nintendo system until a few months ago during the pandemic when I joined the craze of people buying a Switch. I’m not interested in Animal Crossing, but I was interested in the games I once played rigorously in the past. It’s taken me awhile to think about this review, but I can say that despite Nintendo not winning the “console wars” in terms of specs and graphics, it’s greatest achievement for me is to bring back the nostalgia of playing fun, simple games wherever I am without being stuck in one place. With Xbox and PlayStation to really enjoy the experience I have to sit down and cannot easily move things around (I know Xbox has xCloud and PlayStation has remote play on Vita, but those weren’t available for me at this time). With the Nintendo Switch, however, I can have it docked when I want to play on my 85” Sony X900H or I can simply take it out and play wherever. During these times obviously I’m not taking it away from home due to quarantine, but I can play by my pool, move it to another TV with ease, or while relaxing in bed. The Nintendo single player games themselves provide fun challenges that aren’t stressful (at least to me) and really take my mind off. I still enjoy Xbox and PlayStation and play them more often than the Switch, but this fills in the gaps for when I want the simple joys of childhood.

We bought this for our 8 year old son. He loves it! our 4 year old daughter is able to operate it as well. She doesn’t totally understand the controls, but it is enough to let her think she is playing. We did make sure we got the newer model with the longer battery life. It was easy to set up with our tv as well, but not required. There is also an app that can set limits on the time they use the Switch. We have not downloaded the app yet, but will soon.
