Customer Ratings & Reviews

It's kind of hard to choose the best gaming system as they each have strengths and weaknesses. But the Switch probably has the best balance. The sheer versatility of modes makes this device stand out. The game selection is good, especially the ones that use the motion controls well, which is most of them. Definitely recommend.

I've been waiting to get my hands on one since the beginning of March. I absolutely love how convenient it is on the go, I can take it with me when I go to my friends so we can play together in person or when we are social distancing. The game selection is also great. Must have for anyone who wants to kill some time

The Switch is Nintendo's 7th home console since they launched the Nes/Famicom back in the '80s. After the failure of their previous console, the Wii U, (of which I own alongside a slew of other Nintendo consoles and handhelds), Nintendo seems to have gotten their magic back, and the Switch is a worldwide phenomenon. What is the Switch? The Nintendo Switch is like most traditional home gaming consoles in that it can be connected and hook up to a tv for gameplay, so as long as it's in the dock. However, unlike other home gaming consoles, it can fully function as a traditional gaming handheld device, by connecting the joy cons to the side of the console rails, similar to other Nintendo handhelds. It can also be used in tabletop mode. I purchased a few games (Smash, Xenoblade DE, Mario Kart), an online membership, and a Pro Controller, which I highly recommend, so I'm ready to play! Let's hope joy con drifting doesn't set in! All in all, as someone who's been playing Nintendo since the 64 days, I've continued to stick with them, and will do so, for as long as possible. Great job, Nintendo!

I’ve been really happy with the Switch, it’s just so fast and easy to toggle it between a traditional home console setup you use with your TV and a powerful tablet-like portable gaming device. The included controllers are fully-featured, with all the buttons and motion inputs you’ll need for modern games and good battery life. With games like Zelda Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, and then Super Smash Bros. Ultimate coming later this year… there’s so much quality content to choose from. There’s also a good sprinkling of games from other developers too, though they’re often scaled back a bit to match the Switch’s portable capabilities. Overall, an excellent system, get one yourself, and get your friends to get Switches too so you can all play Splatoon 2 online together…!

I'm having a lot of fun with this. The games are plentiful and there is always more coming out. Came out of the box in tip top shape and I haven't had trouble with Joy-con drift yet. It's something you can have fun with friends and family or by yourself on the big screen, a computer monitor, or just handheld.

An upgrade for game playing compared to the Wii. We mostly use it for playing games via the TV and the resolution is excellent. It is a bit difficult to set up and get use to the controls but once set up it works great.

I bought this for my kids, I love that we can take gaming anywhere. I initially thought when buying this my kids would have to take turns, but the Switch allows the system to become 2 players. We connected at home, in the car or even at the hotels when on vacation... literally a gaming system that can fit in a fanny pack!

Nintendo has finally sent out something absolutely fantastic. I've enjoyed Nintendo systems since the late 80s. The Switch finally breaks new ground and bridges the gap between console and handheld. It has enough power to be a traditional console, with the flexibility to be used as a handheld system. They really cracked the mold on this one. Great job, Nintendo!

I enjoy playing with this Nintendo Switch. I like that I can hook it up to my television or play as a tablet. It comes with everything you will need/want. This is an excellent game system for the family. And for such a great price. I would recommend this to any family who likes to play video games together.

Great Purchase for my birthday. Love this system. Easy to take anywhere. Love the handheld. Great price and keeps getting better as more games are available.

My 2 daughters and my self really enjoying this (10 and 5) Even the Misses plays with us. Great family console.

following the tradition of Nintendo entertainment system in my family, i got this console for my daughter and she absolutely loves the Nintendo switch!! i also get to play my favorite games from back in my day.....

The device is used more then any game system i owned. I find myself using it more on the go then i do having it hooked to my TV. The games are the best we had in years. The super ease of use plus the amazing price you pay. Ps the switch should really only be brought with a copy of Zelda Breath of the wild. It's just the best the switch has to offer.

The switch is everything I want in a console. In the docked mode it plays on my TV, but is instantly portable if I need it to be. Breath of the Wild is beautiful, though I do notice some slowdown in certain areas with a lot of objects and people. The battery life on the joy cons is great, and the battery life on the console in portable is pretty good too.

Impulse purchase when I saw this finally available on Best Buy still can't believe I got lucky. This console was been MIA in retail stores and I refused to pay extra if purchased somewhere else since MSRP is already expensive. Anyway, as expected I love it. It is my go to stress buster from all the anxieties during this time of pandemic. How I wish had it earlier before shelter in place. Am no gamer or techy person, setting up was easy as long as you know how to read & can follow instructions you can do it! You can either buy your games thru Nintendo's e-shop or buy from stores/online stores. Games are still on the expensive side averaging $50 depending on the game so keep your eyes open for any good deals on games out there. My must have accessories for starters like me are screen protector, case protector and of course at least one game, you might need a micro SD too due to limited memory 32GB. If you have some spare micro SD you used from your old phones or camera it will work too save your money for your games instead.

Easy to play with for granddaughter and perfect for her hands. Able to take anywhere

Great purchase. Daughter plays hand held in her downtime, with Animal Crossing game. She has allocated the time of day just for this particular game. I on the other-hand, workout in the morning with the Sports game. I play Tennis, Jet Ski, & Golf in Motion. We play Mario Deluxe 8 in the evening Together.

The Switch is a great system for kids to learn with parents. Many family games make it fun for everyone. This is our second one because our kids decided they wanted to split the cost of another one so they could both be using them. Our three year old loved playing Mario games, especially Mario Kart.

Set up was super easy. Was a little bummed it didnt come with a large capacity SD card since you can download all your favorite games right into memory - no more losing the cartridge or DVD media! Also highly recommend a standard sized controller as the little switch controllers are teeny tiny.

Been great easy to set up joy cons don’t hold up the best overall great system
