Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great versatility. Hand held plus being able to connect to the TV. Also the new games for this console are great. Great battery life for a few hours of play time and easy to travel with of you have a travel case.

My niece loves it! Easy for her to use and that's something she was looking forward.

My son loves it! He really enjoys it. He likes that it’s portable so he can connect with his friends on the go. Just wish there was more variety of games to choose from. The only con is the lack of internal storage. Need to buy a separate SD card for it.

The Nintendo switch has great game selection. Their consolidation of the home console to something portable is awesome. Great buy for young and old...device itself is sleek & lightweight..everything you would want in a portable device. Good job Nintendo!

Fun game system for the entire family. The transition between TV and playing remotely is fairly seamless and the battery life is good.

This is the best birthday gift ever! The words of my 9 year old son. He loves the ability to play on the TV and then play the same games on the go. Also the attachments on the go allow 2 players. Neat game system with fun games for kids and flexibility!

I was excited to get this but was even happier with the system than I expected. The versatility to play on the TV or handheld is well thought out and the range of available games makes this a real Winner.

I'm so glad I made this purchase even with the "new" Switch on the horizon. I really love the versatility of the Switch! I honestly didn't think I would use the other modes besides docked, but it's been so nice having games on the go with something significantly better to play on than a phone. I really wanted to change up my gaming as I've only been playing PS4 lately and I've finished most of the games I wanted to play. That started to get stale so I really wanted something new and different. The Switch offers something fresh and engaging. I've spent so much time on Zelda Breath of the Wild, more than most games on my other console already. The joy-cons, although small, are quite responsive and work well with the games on offer. The whole device feels surprisingly solid and is definitely made well. I opted to get the BestBuy protection plan. I'd recommend this especially if you plan to take your Switch with you a lot. There is also a known issue with the joy-cons after a while. The sticks tend to drift causing input lag and misdirection, so I'm glad I would be covered in case something happens (the protection plan is actually cheaper than a new set of joy-cons too, just saying). I highly recommend getting some accessories for it. Cases, grips, controllers, dock sleeves, screen protectors. game card cases, all of these little things just add to the experience and of course, protects and makes things more convenient. It feels like I'm investing in something worthwhile. I understand those who are on the fence about buying this model with the announcement of an updated Switch coming in the fall. I bought mine this summer before that news came out, but I don't at all regret making the purchase. I knew I wanted to spend a chunk of my summer playing this. Plus the upgrade is very minor, just a couple hours of extra battery life. I always have my charger with me and I might invest in a portable battery anyway, so waiting a few months for a version that is virtually identical just didn't make sense to me. If you can wait then, sure, get a Switch later during the holidays. Either way, this is a fantastic console and if you really want to feel like a kid again this is for you!

The Nintendo Switch is hands down the best console I’ve ever owned. And it all comes down to one simple, yet profoundly unique aspect. Portability. The ability to take home console games on the go - to play anywhere I want in handheld mode - is worth more to me than the graphical prowess of the PS4/PS5 or Xbox One/Series consoles. The second reason why I love the Switch, portability notwithstanding, is the massive library of games. And while I can’t count how many times I hear “but they’re all just ports”, my first answer is: No. They’re not. And my second answer is: Ports are awesome. Bring everything to Switch. I mean, seriously, the amount of quality games one has to choose from for this console, in addition to the ability to play anywhere, is just insane. Xenoblade Chronicles 1 & 2, Monster Hunter Rise, Persona 5 Strikers, Skyrim, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Dragon Quest XI: S, Divinity: Original Sin II, Bravely Default II, Pokémon Sword & Shield, etc etc etc. In terms of this specific model, it’s fantastic and I’ve had no issues whatsoever — and I’ve been playing it for over a year or so now pretty regularly. I’ve noticed a big difference in the longer lasting battery life of this model versus the original launch model. Otherwise, that’s about all I’ve noticed as being a difference between the two. But hey, that’s fine by me as I primarily play handheld like 95% of the time. If you don’t care about the upcoming, inevitable Switch Pro model that will be likely to launch around Q4 2021 or sometime 2022, then I can’t recommend this model enough. It’s an amazing hybrid console and the hours you’ll get out of it will not only be massive in terms of quantity, but also in terms of quality due to the amazing and ever-growing library of games. Do it.

Nothing quite like it. The Switch is absolutely unrivaled as a mobile-to-console platform. It runs extremely well, and knowing that Nintendo can only go up from here is heartening. Would not hesitate to buy another.

I had an original Nintendo switch and this is the updated second version. I can honestly say the battery life has been significantly improved over the original version. I'm not sure if this new version claims any increase in game performance but at least to me, that still seems the same which is fine. Every game I have runs just as good on this switch as opposed to the original unit I had. I have had this unit for a while and purposely waited to post a review to be sure I did not have any joy-con drift problems like I did with the first unit which Nintendo corrected anyway. Nintendo is a top notch company who stands firmly behind its product. I recommend this console for all ages, if you can find it in stock.

I don't know what more can be said about the wildly successful and entertaining Nintendo Switch, but let me just start with: this is my second Switch and I purchased it specifically for our kids to have their own. There's so many games available, lots of controllers to choose from, and (best of all) a very good online account / Family Account system for getting all of the gamers in your household linked up and ready to play.

Great product and fair price. Easy to order online and pick up at the store.

Have had this for two weeks now and it’s been a blast. My girlfriend and I love the Mario games we initially got. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy were surprisingly good purchases (downloads) during a recent cold snap, as well. No issues with the controllers or system. All working fine. I’d also say I enjoy playing the Switch more than my PS4. Oh - one thing I would recommend is buy yourself some extra storage for this system.

This was a bit of an impulse buy... I was planning on waiting until Christmas. Mario Kart, Zelda, and now Mario Odyssey are all classic games that bring the family together. The ability to take it on road trips will be a great feature in the future.

This is a hit with all ages. Something for most people. Its well made. Kids love the fact you can tale it on the go or play it on a big tv.

Right now it’s hard to get one of these, but if you get lucky, you won’t regret it. Super portable and has ton of fun games to play. In store pick up was super easy with the friendly staff. Highly recommend!

When the Switch was announced, I thought it was just going to be another spin-off of the Wii/Wii-U; just more of the same from Nintendo. However, once everything was set up and played for just a few hours, I realized just how wrong I was. To me, the Wii was a gimmick, and the games were far too childish and boring for my liking. It’s motion control was groundbreaking, yet annoyingly unresponsive or too sensitive. It was a good idea, a good platform, sub par execution, and a whole lotta letdowns. However, the Switch is a new chance for Nintendo. The amount of power packed into this tiny console is something Nintendo has needed from the very beginning to keep up with their competition. It also did something incredible, and that was making a console that was amazingly detailed when played on the big screen, while being similarly detailed in its portable form on the go. The graphics are impressive, of that there is no doubt. The Joy-cons are a step in the right direction. Motion controls have been improved, but still not perfect. The center seems to shift often, forcing you to readjust your grip, even making some uncomfortable movements to keep control over the game. If there was a way to make sure the mechanism inside zeros out every once in a while would help in this respect. Also, these controllers are the smallest I think I have ever used. Even with the dock that allows both Joy-cons to connect into a single controller doesn’t seem to help. They are small and flat, and feel as if my hands fit awkwardly around it. I was forced to purchase a Pro controller because my hands would become cramped from the strange way my fingers needed to stretch to reach the shoulder buttons. It was just another expense for an already expensive console, and for an entirely unnecessary reason, and that is design. This is the only reason the Switch lost a star for me. This is a new console, so there isn’t a wide selection of games just yet, but with the way things have been going for me, I see myself buying games for the Switch for some time.

This is a great system for all ages, literally my 3 yr. old plays games and my brother who is 33 also plays games on this device that interest them. The device is portable which makes it great. And there are a huge selection of games including the old school nintendo games. The only con to this device is the remotes. They easily get damaged (buttons). I bought my first switch in Sept.2018 and since I had the warranty I switched it out because my remote buttons were stuck (ex. Player moving with touching the remote).

Very pleased with this game system and happy to find it on sale. You can find games that appeal to all ages and games for the whole family to play together.
