Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch fulfills all of what I thought it would be and much more. I've played hundreds of hours already and it has only been out for a month, so I definitely have experienced most aspects of this console. If you're a casual gamer, the Switch will be great for you because of games like 1-2 Switch, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey and many more upcoming titles that will be announced at E3 this year. If you're a hardcore gamer, first of all, you 100% want The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild because I've played it more than any other video game ever and I didn't even really like Zelda before it. Second of all, Splatoon 2 will be great, there are countless upcoming indie games, and there are always challenging aspects in Nintendo games as a whole that are catered to hardcore gamers, making gameplay optionally harder for the hardcore crowd. The Switch feels great in your hands, it is great on the TV or in the car with its sleek mobility, and it comes at a decent price when compared to other consoles. If you want a console that is great for a night of fun with friends, but also provides you with challenging games for a great personal experience, the Nintendo Switch is the perfect console for you.

Nintendo went ALL out on thier SWITCH. This is literally a home gaming system and portable HD 9" screen hand held system. It's very intuitive how everything works together. From the docking station to the joy/con controllers. Two minor downsides; the controllers are tiny and so are the game cartridges. Yes, you heard right-no discs, just very small DS/Gamboy size cartridges. I see my kids easily losing these things. Also, when I play a game with them my huge hands engulf the tiny joy/cons making it difficult to play. The solution for die hard adult gamers or those with large hands- nintendo's wireless controller (similar size to an Xbox 1 controller) Get this, just the other day my kids were playing Mario kart and it was time to leave for out soccer game that was an hour away. They literally paused the game, un-docked the system and within minutes were right where they left off, gaming the whole way in the car. Surprisingly the battery stayed full and my kids happy on a road trip. Just BRILLIANT. Needs more games, but that's expected with launch date of March 2017. Can't wait for splatoon 2 and the new Mario. This system will be the number one console this Christmas, better get yours now.

The perfect hybrid: The best feature and biggest selling point of the Nintendo switch is the fact that it can be used as a home console by placing it on the dock and playing on your TV, or removing it from the dock and taking it with you wherever you go. Sure it's not going to have the same power or graphical capabilities as my Xbox or Playstation, but thats not why you buy a switch. I will gladly take that compromise with many (not all) games to take them with me portably. Game exclusives: I play my xbox or playstation (depending on friends online) mainly to play cross platform games such as Call of Duty, Madden, Apex, etc. There have been few exclusives that have wowed me on xbox and playstation the way Nintendo exclusives have. Zelda BOTW quickly became my favorite game by far. Mario Kart is the perfect game to play when you have friends or family over. And games like Splatoon 2 just give a different and fun meaning to shooters. These just are a few of the games I have had a blast playing. Overall, the Switch has become my favorite console so far. I now know why they have been sold out everywhere during the pandemic. If you can get your hands on one, I highly recommend it!

Great console that can go with you anywhere. Has good battery life and plenty of games to choose from.

My kid loves this switch. It has access to the 80's old school games as well as all the latest. He can take it with him around the house too. Its a win win.

I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch and I am thoroughly impressed with the device. The Switch is a versatile gaming console that can be used both as a home console and as a portable device. The console feels sturdy and well-built, with a vibrant and responsive touchscreen that makes it easy to navigate menus and play games. The Switch's library of games is impressive, with a wide variety of titles ranging from popular franchises like Mario (Mario Kart 8 is fun for the whole family) and Zelda to indie games and classic titles from older consoles. The console's portability is a huge plus, as I can take it with me on the go and play games during my daily commute or while waiting for appointments. The Joy-Con controllers are also comfortable to use, with motion controls and haptic feedback that add an extra layer of immersion to certain games. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase of the Nintendo Switch and would recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and enjoyable gaming console.

The Nintendo Switch is a wonderful system that combines the portability of a tablet with the power of a regular gaming console. Being able to take your Switch out of the dock and immediately be back in what you were just playing on the TV? Terrific! Being able to use the Joycons as two separate controllers for multiplayer focused games is also a terrific bonus provided you don't have hands the size of a normal adult. The portability is great because they can just snap onto the Switch itself, but using a single Joycon as a controller is difficult to do due to the size. The library is still currently small for the Switch, with only a handful of games that are REALLY worth your time. However, Nintendo seems to be doing right by their consumers this time and working hard on third-party development for the system. While there aren't many games CURRENTLY for the system that are worth your time, the Switch will soon be a worthwhile investment and an excellent addition to your home entertainment. Terrific console for kids as well.

After months of waiting for a restock, I finally landed my hands on one of these babies! This Nintendo exceed all my expectations PLUS MORE. Purchased as gift to my husband. To get him through his law night shifts. Little did I know I would love this purchase. We watch YouTube, and Hulu through it. And play all of our childhood games which are new and improved. Some kid on YouTube showed us how to upload Netflix on it too!

Say what you will about Nintendo but this device has brought more joy to my wife and I than our ps4 or previously owned Xbox ever could. Hell it’s even better than playing on my pc and I am a stickler for fast performance and high quality graphics. The reason I say all of this is simple: the switch is just plain fun. The games can help you kill time like nothing else and the ability to alternate handheld and full screen is the best idea ever. It is almost dangerous how much time one could spend playing the multitude of fantastic titles on this system. Open world titles can look a little blurry and antialiasing is nonexistent in games like Zelda but it is extremely easy to look past the flaws because at the end of the day it is about the fun you are having. Don’t hesitate on this console...get it when you have $300 saved up. Also for $20 a YEAR for Nintendo Switch Online you get access to tons of old snes and nes classics plus Tetris 99 and other little freebies. Well worth every penny!

The switch it perfect for me. So many choices of great games in a small compact system. I love it!!!

I wasn't allowed a gaming console growing up, so I was always going over to my friend's to play Zelda on his. Been considering the Switch for a while, wanting to play Breath of the Wild. With the updated version, I finally went for it. I have had a lot of fun with it. Zelda is so much fun to play, and the portability of this system makes it so ideal. I would highly recommend getting one if you've had an itch to play any of its games.

We have had the Nintendo Switch for a few weeks, my spouse and I, and our teen kids play it, we have enjoyed playing separate games and games together, it's really nice looking and easy to handle, it has a lot of online options to choose from, and the subscriptions are fairly priced! Took us a bit to decide if we wanted one, but we are glad we made the purchase. Fun for the whole family, adults, teens and children. Great system that plays smoothly with nice graphics.

Absolutely fantastic! The ability to play on the big screen and then instantly take it on the go is a game-changer.

Bought as a gift and they absolutely LOVE IT ! Overall an amazing handheld and a plus with the tv adapter.

By far the best system out there in my opinion. The fast that this is a protable and stationary system amazes me. My daughter loves timhis system and the nintendo specific games that we purchased as well. I grew up using the original nintendo and nintendo 64 so being able to purchase alot of the same games for my daughter gave her the opportunity to experience what i did as a child. Highly recommend!!!

Great buy. I was upgrading from the switch lite and really have enjoyed the options this one gave compared to the lite

I was so excited to receive this item because since we are all at home and quarantined, we needed something to lift our spirits and have us come together. The switch is such a fun way to have many people play together and have fun. Definitely a great way to have friends come over and play together because of the games. Sucks that this does not come with any games, but most of the games are very fun and worth the money.

I absolutely love the Nintendo Switch. The ability to play my games on both the TV and on the go is something I didn't ever really think was possible. The system design cleverly blends a table with conventional gaming controls that several others have tried, and failed, to do before (Nvidia Shiled Tablet comes to mind). It is easy and very satisfying to "unclick" the controllers from the sides of the tablet portion for use as either individual controllers, or to dock them into the included grip for use as a more conventional controller. Although the controllers are on the smaller side, I have not experienced any discomfort with extended, hours-long play sessions so far. The buttons are easy to differentiate and I did not find myself pressing more than one at a time, etc. Nintendo does make a pro controller for those who want something different, so your mileage may vary. The tablet itself easily slides into the included docking station and within seconds is displaying game information on the TV. The included HDMI cable (still not a standard inclusion for all media devices these days) is a good length so I was able to connect to the TV with no problems. The included power/USB-C cord was likewise a good length so I didn't have to compromise on where I stationed the dock. Battery life has been about as expected for a tablet pushing out such high-quality games, and I have not had issues with running out of power, especially since you can charge via USB-C which I use for my phone as well. I have had a great time playing Switch so far (Zelda being one of the absolute best games I have played in years), and am really looking forward to many of the games on the horizon, as well as the forthcoming online system and classic game system. I look forward to what Nintendo has to offer, and am thrilled with what I've got so far!

I decided to buy a Switch because I wanted to have a portable gaming system. I have gaming laptops, a gaming desktop, and all of the consoles. They are all a pain to travel with. The switch is easy to travel with, runs great after hours of play, and docks simply and perfectly everytime. Don't listen to the reviews about people sharpshooting the system because it's hard to hold. Nonsense. If you don't want to play with the joycons attached...use the rear kickstand and detach the joycons.

This Nintendo Switch is great. My friend's son loved this for his birthday present for his fifth birthday. Very convenient.
