Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you're thinking about buying a Nintendo console it's probably for the great exclusive games: The Marios, Zeldas, Super Smash Bros., Pokeymans, etc. All are present and accounted for. The difference with the Switch is that: A) The Switch has a TON of other games too from third-party developers, which hasn't been the case for Nintendo in about 15 years, and B) The Switch, of course, is completely portable. This wasn't really a factor in my purchase decision, but I have to say, playing it on the go is much more comfortable and enjoyable than I expected. It feels great in my hands and the battery life is pretty solid. (3-7 hours, depending on the game being played.) The Switch has a lot of good-looking upcoming games, even if some of them (Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4) are way, WAY out on the horizon. No risk of this console dying a swift, surreptitious death like the Wii U did. (RIP) If I could change anything, I'd add some more customization options for the main menu (which is functional but boring), and of course, some option to download and play Nintendo's games from older systems, which the Wii, Wii U and 3DS allowed but the Switch has virtually none of. (Unless paying $20/year to rent Balloon Fight is your idea of backwards compatibility.) I also recommend purchasing a Pro Controller, which despite the $70 price tag is the most comfortable controller I've ever used.

Just picked up today. Some vendors take advantage of this pandemic and overprice it. Love Bestbuy keeping the same price. The product works great. My wife and I are excited to play together.

Presentation/Availability: Product was well packaged with no broken/opened box. There weren’t any available at the store. Was purchased online and pickup at store. Performance/Gameplay: My kids love it!!!! Is stronger that it looks on its construction materials. I charged quickly and worked perfectly since the first-time powered on. I also purchased additional memory card, case and pro-controller (recommended). Best of all, is not only for gaming, there are some other cool stuff that you can do with it. I had no problem at all picking up the item at the ‘online orders’ counter. Merchandise was available as I purchased it and the employee was very friendly. Customer service: Very good customer service. I was greeted by an employee as soon as I walked through the door.

Great product just what i was looking for. I should have got one sooner

Lucky to get one when they had it in stock. Nice system with a ton of games and fun to play when the time is right. Can't stand the joy cons but getting a real controller fixed that.

Got this as a gift for my dad for his birthday and he absolutely loves it! We also got the special micro SD card for it to be able to download more games and it's so convenient! Best Buy made it so easy to order it online and pick it up. It's quick to set up and begin playing, almost everyone in my family has gotten a switch at this point and it's a great deal for something so easy and fun!

The Nintendo Switch has so many different gaming options all in one that we can switch between (probably why it's called a switch). We played games on our Android TV and got a bunch of fun attachments. All good so far!!!! 1 year Edit - Whelp we are now dealing with what the internet calls the "orange screen of death" after only a year of having it. It's not charging correctly and then today the only screen we could get was an orange screen....looked it up and apparently this is what happens when it detects a "catastrophic failure" hence "the orange screen of death". I have a replacement plan and will talk with Best buy and the geek squad but the fact that we're having to do this a year in is very frustrating. I guess better a year in than after the plan expires. Will update again with what happens.

The ONLY issue is it needs more games. I am sure they will eventually get all the good games. Destiny and Madden would be huge on the switch. My favorite feature is the ability to give the Wife the TV and keep playing my game.

It is great can move around with it and put it on the TV!

Excellent “toy” for a boy o girl. Our son is very thankful to Santa.))

My daughter loves it! The newer style has great battery life! The portability is awesome and the size is perfect for her! Its peppy and fast! Quick start up, quick loading, all in all just a great buy!

amazing for gaming on go easy to fit a bag whole game with the same amount of content as a single console

This is a great gaming system with a wide variety of games. The video quality of some games is not a great as other systems. i really like that it is portable and has decent battery life.

This console is a great concept and design. Love the fact it can be used as a hand-held unit or a docked console unit. I actually use it docked way more than hand-held mode. The games are really fun. Bought Mario Kart, Zelda, and Mario Odyssey and I have enjoyed all of them. The Kart game is fun to play against others in the house while Mario Odyssey (can play two players if you like) and Zelda are really fun to play alone. They both have very expansive worlds to explore and fight enemies/collect things. Be ready to spend a LOT of time on Zelda and Odyssey. The only suggestion I would make for the docking station is to make it enclose the Switch unit. If you press down (especially with one hand) on the power button while docked, it can tilt out of the docking station.

I highly recommend this game; my children thoroughly enjoy it, and we have encountered no issues.

Good for gaming with family works great bery reliable

Very good product. Like the ease of use. We are enjoying it.

this is by far the most innovative gaming device i have ever seen. features of console and portable combined in to one awesome package. crisp video great audio. some onboard storage but needs more, expandable for a price.

Really fun console! Haven’t had any problems with it. Really fortunate to have gotten one from BestBuy during the shortage. Lots of great games to play by yourself or with friends.

I finally gave in to my sons repeated requests for a Nintendo Switch. It has kept his attention so far. The portability makes it great to take on trips. The battery life surprised me by how long it lasts. I would recommend this product but I would make sure to purchase a screen protector to reduce scratches. Just a reminder that this purchase will require more purchases such as games but many titles start @ $19.99
