Customer Ratings & Reviews

I love the switch, I alway wanted a portable console, I like the games more than DS games, I love to play rocket league on it.

Versatile and portable, love that you can choose between physical games or online games.

The second gen Switch with the longer battery life is an overall great system. The system itself is overpriced (like all Nintendo systems/games), but a great buy that my boys love playing. Being able to dock or undock the system while playing games is a great feature.

Perfect for a kids gift, they loved Mario’s unique games and the versatility of taking the games everywhere, just perfect!

There is a good diversity of games for this console, compared to the previous Nintendo profile. I primarily bought it for the portability and it fits that bill quite well. Under the Pandemic circumstances though, the stand out is the Ring Fit, which I give 5 stars to just as a great use of this product's capabilities and a legit, fun, exercise game. I would like to see if there is something like the old Wii sports/games app available for the switch. The lite is probably a better option if portable is what you really want.

This is my second switch, I also own the original release. The only difference is this model get a slightly longer battery life. other than that everything else is the same as the original model. I love the neon color over the gray, adds a lot more pop.

Very nice hand held console. Really enjoy the option of using the stand to play the games on the Tv. WHO KNEW ID BE ABLE TO PLAY POKEMON GAMES ON MY TV ONE DAY !!! Storage was a little on the lighter side however the expansion sds are reasonably priced.

Got this as an early Christmas present for my teenage son. Many stores were out of these on Black Friday, but no problem to order online from Best Buy and just pick it up. But that's not why you're reading this review. The game is usable all by itself with the included screen or hooked up to a TV with an HDMI cable. There's virtually no difference in gameplay between the two modes, I was afraid the game's screen might have a little lag, but that wasn't the case. Battery life is pretty good, especially considering the graphics and things happening in the games. lAdmiditally, we got this unit early in its life, so there isn't a huge variety of games yet. But we're very happy with the selection that's out now and know more games are in the pipeline. The games on the Switch are a bit more tame than on an Xbox to PlayStation, so that makes this a good choice for younger kids. Of course, it's great for amyone who wants high-quality gaming on the go. All in all, very satisfied with the product and the buying experience at Best Buy.

Purchased this for my young children. They were able to figure out how to use it quickly and easily. Love that is can be used as both a handheld on the go and also as a multiplayer system connected to the TV. So many different games available as well.

Awesome it’s so fun be and my family play it together

Bought this for my son, good graphics, easy use of play and value for money makes the switch a must buy!

The Switch is a great little console/handheld hybrid. It works great on the go and connected to the TV. One concern is Nintendo being Nintendo as they tend to go against what Microsoft/Sony have established as gaming standards (online communities, achievements, etc). I also hope there is plenty of first party games coming down the road as Zelda is a true masterpiece and if other games follow that trend they have a bright future. But currently the games are really limited, so if you're not buying Zelda, I'm not really sure what you are going to play. The move to cartridges is also interesting as this will limit how powerful they can make games, but if Zelda is anything to measure on things look good. Also, beware the left Joy-Con bug. If you have anything between you and the Switch it can act weird when connected to the controller dock (even if your leg or something is in between). The Switch is a brilliant design and everything works well as far as various Joy-Con configurations (attached, detached, sideways, play on TV, attached to grip, etc). As a previous owner of the Wii and Wii U, I feel much better owning a Switch at first than I did with those consoles.

So the new Nintendo switch is out and well at this point in time its really not much to look at with a lack of variety of impressive launch titles I can't complain much there because all you need right now the legend of Zelda.... But a great multiplayer game should have been available too. Unfortunately there's also an annoying joy con issue that likes to randomly disconnect from the system. The is a fix our out now but that requires sending in the joycon. There's also the lack of virtual console and many other things that will eventually be available. Otherwise I'm really enjoying the new console and enjoy playing whether on the tv or handheld mode..... Coming soon Mario kart 8 deluxe!

great for classic games, fun to have as an extra activity in the house

Well worth the wait. It is a great value as one of the lower costing systems. I love that it is portable or I can connect it to the base and play on my TV. I am still exploring different games but the standard Nintendo games are excellent as always!!

We enjoy the Switch at home, on the go, everywhere. The games that Nintendo offers are unique and fun compared to core gaming platforms that are dedicated for certain age groups. Glad we got this console, hours of entertainment, hard to put it down!

My new Nintendo Switch is fun for All. I’m an old Nintendo player and I needed something I can enjoy by myself and with others and the Switch made the mark. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it’s good fun for everyone.

Great system for getting old people involved. I ought for me and my wife to play since we are empty nesters

Great portable system. The only drawback is that it doesn't include any games. This is version 2 which has a longer battery life than the original system. I would suggest getting Nintendo online so you can play old school Nintendo games.

Nothing else out there exists like this, it was good when it came out and it still kicks butt!
