Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought for a Christmas gift for my son and he loves it. We knew we were going to buy one and picked Best Buy, for couple extra dollars we also got the geek squad protection which is why we definitely decided Best Buy had the best bundle deal. Switch is a super fun little gadget for at home and on the go in the car. Glad we bought it for him keeps him busy!

I have been a fan of Nintendo since the beginning, I have owned almost every one of their systems with the exceptions of the Virtual boy and the Wii U. While I had lost faith in them with the Wii and had hoped they would just turn to make third party games for Xbox and or Sony. They proved me wrong and made this great system. While not the graphical powerhouse of the other two, Nintendo has never put graphics above fun. Zelda Breath of the Wild looks fantastic on the switch, either in console dock at home, or in handheld mode on the go, and it was a joy to play. I must of played it for over 100 hours. This is the only system in my life that I own more than one. My kids who were not gamers, suddenly wanted to play this all the time. The only issue I have with this system would be the joy-cons, they have an issue that will inevitably pop up called the drift. The joy sticks become loose and will move your character with you wanting them to. At $80 for a new pair, it’s a tad pricey to replace them. That is why I would never buy the Switch Lite, those joy-cons are not removable, once they have the drift issue, they would have to be repaired. Pay the extra $100 and get the main Switch model. And splurge on the Pro Controller, I waited to get it for a long time and I wish I hadn’t. That this is great, but again Pricey.

Great battery, honestly I bought it to leave it connected to the TV, but being able to just play anywhere I want is quite awesome. I just wish I had more free time to enjoy it more often. The only problem with the software design is not being able to turn it off without the need of pressing the power button for 3 seconds... But that's nintendo's fault, not best buy

As you would expect. Great system. Fun games. Love how its sharable.

Longer battery life, for some reason better and brighter screen(?), AND I PRAY no joy-con drift hopefully.

Now I’ve owned one for over a year and I love it!!! My nephew comes over all the time and is always wanting to play with my switch and when it’s time for him to go, he gets sad that he has to stop playing so I went ahead and bought him his own switch! He loved it as soon as he opened it! The actual switch is amazing! All the great games and the different ways to play it are awesome!

I much prefer hand held consoles so the switch has been a hit for me. We originally bought it for my fiancé and I too share, however I get so addicted to the games I play, I think we need to buy him his own. I will say one of the controllers got joy on drift a few months ago and we had to buy replacements. Supposedly Nintendo would have replaced it however I didn’t want to wait, so I’m unsure. The new controllers work fine. We’ve only had it for a little over a year but it seems to be in great condition other than the joycon issue. I also really like that the Nintendo store has a huge variety of games, which also include many indie games. However some of those games don’t seem to get updated anymore. Sad.

I had been thinking about getting a nintendo switch for a while now, and I'm so glad I finally got one!! It is a great hand held game for traveling, but it is also great for setting up to a TV or projector. I also love the option to have physical games or digital download because it is very convenient if you're unable to make it to the store. 10/10 would recommend. The only thing I would say was not the best was the storage space, but this was an easy fix once I got an SD card in there.

I have loved my Nintendo Switch. I have always been kind of disappointed with Nintendo products in the past. Either not enough games or portable consoles just kind of sucked. But to have it as a portable console and a console you can use on your T.V. I am impressed. I also like that they have so many games to choose from. No complaints at all about this system. Lots of fun and so good to see so many games to choose from.

It is worth every penny!! If you're overthinking to pirchase it or not, take this review as your sign to just go ahead and get it now!! You will be so happy you did it

This is a very versatile gaming system from playing as a handheld with controllers attached to the sides, to watching the screen with multiple handheld controllers for multi-player, to projecting it to the TV. Lasts 5-6hrs on a full charge. Games are pricey at $60, but there are a few cheaper options with downloadable games. Pretty much need to buy an additional controller set for $79 and we added the $8 screen protector.

First of all, I am not a serious gamer. I have always been a fan of Nintendo and the products they put out. I spend the majority of my time playing Mario Kart 8, but I have also purchased Splatoon 2, Breath of the Wild, and 1-2 Switch so far. I highly recommend the Switch to anyone who enjoys games put out by Nintendo. I've enjoyed being able to play the console in handheld mode while watching TV or while traveling. The biggest drawback is the hidden costs. Some are optional, but some are not. First, no games come with the console. 1-2 Switch is very overpriced and is not worth paying full-price for, and I really wish Nintendo had included this game with the console. Second, 32 GB is not a lot of storage. I spent an additional $50 or so on a large SD card so that I could download the games there and use the 32 GB only for the game data. This can be remedied by buying physical games; personally, I've always preferred physical games but decided to go the digital route this time around, and I have found it really nice to be able to switch between games so easily. I tend to play a variety of games now since I don't have to physically change them out. Third, I would recommend buying a screen protector for the Switch. These are inexpensive, but I have heard that the screen is susceptible to scratching. Finally, I have always been a fan of the Pro controllers. I would never play Mario Kart, for example, using the joy cons, unless I was traveling and using them in handheld mode. The pro controllers are $70 a piece, and I have four of them for when I play with others.

This Nintendo Switch was really purchased as a gift for my son. He enjoys the Nintendo line of games, especially anything Mario. I am impressed with how portable the game system is, and when plugged into the dock to play on a large screen tv, the gameplay is almost no difference, except for the touchscreen capability. Definitely a very good game system.

I have long had Nintendo products and a variety of them. I was leery of getting the Switch for unknown reasons and ended up purchasing one to pass the time by during Quarantine as I have not played video games for years. I have definitely come to enjoy my Switch! I do enjoy the portability of it, as well as the fact that I am able to plug into the TV and play. I have found that the graphics on the games is pretty clear as well (or maybe in my old age I'm more blind since the last time I gamed LOL). Either way, I do not have many complaints. The only complaint I would have is with Nintendo's actual "friend network" or whatever you want to call it. I have seen/heard from others who play on Playstations, XBOX, etc. that they are able to communicate with their online friends by creating a party directly on the machine itself and thus going from there. There is no such thing with Nintendo. You must download the app and take it from there (which I did not do because I do not want to have to use my app while I am playing on my Switch console). Maybe I'm just picky but as I said that is literally one of the only complaints I can come up with, except for maybe that I am still waiting on the range of games offered on the Switch to maybe expand a little bit. Again, picky. Overall, would recommend.

Excellent gaming station no matter your age. Nice to be able to play independently or multi-player using the detachable controllers. Nice Touch Screen effects. Can friend people online. Like the Minecraft on it. Nice portability and connecting to the TV too. Screen shots and 30 second videos while you game. New game notifications automatically. You can get the app for it on your phone for while you are away. Cool!

Very good product the kids love it and we could play up to 4 players as long as you buy extra controllers but games are alittle on the expensive side but so worth it. You could take it anywhere and you could play on the tv too.

If you play handheld majority, this switch's battery life is an amazing upgrade. The system runs extremely cool, the chipset in this switch should have been the original chipset to begin with. If you play predominantly docked this isn't worth it for you. If you don't have a switch yet, GET THIS ONE!

What a great gaming platform that plays great on our home television and is very transportable to keep the kids busy in the car or at the grandparent’s house. Even the adults have fun with it. Great family fun when you add the joy-con CJ trollers to easily make it a 4-player system. There are lots of games for many individual gaming interests.

I have been wanting to buy the switch since the “Stay in place” order started. Everyday l searched until just recently found it on BB site and grabbed it! So glad I did I love it! Works great no issues. I like that I can travel with it, play while I am out of the home and the. When home connect to my tv and play on the big screen.. it is perfect!

It’s been pretty amazing , I haven’t had any issues with it and it’s been working as it should great for family game night
