Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this console because how easy it is to “switch” from TV playing to mobile playing. The battery lasts long enough for a good gaming session and overall everything about this console is as expected.

The swicth is such a gem. The nintendo exclusive games are honestly underrated by so many and the hybrid design is incredibly ingenuitive. I ended up using the handheld mode almost as much as the docked mode, while still in my own home. Highly recommend. (It is heavily roumered Nintendo will be releasing an "upgraded" version of the switch early 2021. So if you are on the fence it might be worth it to wait) This was out of stock everywhere for so long this year. I checked multiple retailers often to try and get one for months. I was finally able to order one from Best Buy so I was very pleased.

We got this for our best friend for her birthday. Having owned this switch and the switch lite, I’m a big fan of Nintendo products. She was over the moon. Now her and her partner can join us When we talk about our favorite games!

The Switch is quite a technological marvel with its ability to be played anywhere like Nintendo's past handhelds yet contain the power better than even the previous Wii U console. The system storage is not the best for downloads, but the games already available to buy such as Splatoon 2 and Fire Emblem Warriors are fun to play with the Joy-Con controllers used together. Even if online gameplay will soon cost money, it's still much cheaper at $20 a year (less than $2 a month, about the price of a candy bar) than Sony and Microsoft's online services at about $60 a year.

Great device lots of fun. Easy-to-use. I wish the games were a little cheaper

After the sad fate of the Wii U (a good console in my eyes) not many people believe Nintendo would ever come back from such a fail, but Nintendo proved them all wrong. The Nintendo Switch is a find "hybrid console" meaning it can act as a home console or portable. I was surprised how small the console actually is and at the same time feels solid in your hands. The Nintendo Switch already has two Game of the Year contenders in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey so the console is a great buy for this holiday season. There are a few cons as in you need an Micro SD card for Storage but if you are reading this on Best Buy you do have affordable options so be sure to pick a a 128 GB one

Love it. My child really liked this for his birthday and lives it

This was a great game for my grandson and he loves to play it.

Bought this for my daughter after she made the honor row for the second straight time this year. She loves it, best part it keeps her entertained on rides to the grocery store.

I bought the console as a Christmas present for my son. We have two Wii and Nintendo DS that we have been using for years. The Nintendo Switch can be used like the DS, like a tablet or like the Wii. The controllers are like wiimote, they are aware of your movements, vibrate and make sounds but are way smaller. The "controllers" can be used like one big controller or two independent wiimote... to convert the former to the later it is like playing lego, you dissemble them. Every time, I hope I do not break them in the process because they are not cheap to replace. I wish that there was some form of backward compatibility but no. The wii games format is DVD, the DS some big cards and Switch another format... no way to reuse games from one console to another. We have bought three games and they are fun to play. Resolution is better and more playable. Versatile is what I liked, I can play on the TV or in the car. Not super impressed with the games yet... I found the console expensive when not on sale... Also be aware that if you have more than one kid, they might want each of them their own console. It is a good console for family games. Nintendo has a lot of options for kids and preteens. I will continue to use the WIi but I will not buy wii games equivalent on the switch. If you have a Wii and DS, try it before buying it. If you do not have a wii, buy it...

This console is great and compact. The graphics are a definite improvement but still behind the PS and XBOX (but you aren’t buying this for the graphic quality). All of the games are awesome and look great. Once a larger library of games is available, it will make this system even better. The controllers work well right out of the box (didn’t need a charge). The only issue is having to charge the controllers. It does not come with a charge ability unless it is plugged into the console which then requires it to be plugged into the dock to play games. There is only the one power cord to use if you take it out to play on the go. I definitely recommend buying the chargeable controller when you buy the switch.

I have loved every second of owning this console. I got it during the start of the pandemic and battled with thousands to get one and finally did after almost 2 weeks of trying with zoolerts and other stock alert sites... Plus refreshing the page frequently on multiple stores with electronic departments. Anyways I don't regret a moment of buying this. Very worthwhile especially at a time like now where I need to be home and focus on something else other than the world. My only regret is not preordering the ACNH special edition switch before it became impossible to get one with people inflating the prices for gain...

After using the switch for a few years, it really is a revolutionary console. The fact that you can quickly take it on the go is a game changer. I highly recommend getting one if you haven’t already!

Great product my friends and I have a lot of fun playing it.

As of this writing, 12/15/17, there are not many game options. They have a few good games at launch, like zelda and Mario, but are missing a variety of 3rd party games. While this is no suprise, as it never is with Nintendo, it is more noticible since the games we got are rereleases that have been out for some time. Hopefully the line up will get more inclusive with time. Beyond the games, the hardware is great. The controller is a large step up from the wiiu gamepad despite being similar in design. Since the controllers charge while the machine is docked, we have had no issues with needing to stop playing to charge. We seem to get about 3 to 4 hours from the tablet portion when it is off the dock.

Love this console so much!!! It’s great to play with friends and family and the different ways to play as well as the ability to put it on the Tab is awesome.

tldr; Get this, don't get the Switch Lite. It is a great system for almost any type of gamer. I've been a console gamer since 1984 when my parents bought me an Atari 2600. Most of my life I was a die-hard Nintendo fan. While my gaming preferences have evolved over the last 10-15 years (PlayStation fanboy nowadays) I've still owned every Nintendo (and Xbox) system that's been released, even if they were primarily played by my boys. This Switch however is MINE (my son has had one since launch.) I love that it is a cross between a portable and a console. I love that I can play it on the go, or during downtime in another game (ie; waiting for a party to fill in Final Fantasy XIV.) 32GB is NOTHING so make sure to pick up a micro SD card right away (still mad that Sony mad the Vita memory cards proprietary) And if you're like me and prefer to buy digital games vs physical, be warned that it will need a quick internet check each time you start a game (which tbh, there may be a workaround that I haven't looked into yet) which was a bummer when I was planning on playing some Smash Bros. on a recent flight but couldn't... If you are trying to decide between this and the Switch Lite - Get this model! The flexibility of being able to detach the Joy-Cons and to play it seamlessly on your TV is WELL worth the extra cost.

This is possibly my all time favorite video game system/console I’ve ever owned! So fun. Being able to play handheld, on the tv, and table top mode is so cool. Fun for all ages!

Obsessed with this thing. It sucks that the games are all like $60 though so just be ready for that. Also the Nintendo membership is monthly and then you can play your friends online. I didn’t know that before hand. Other than that, it’s amazing! Switching from the tv to handheld is great + you can take the joycons off while handheld if you want to play it at your desk or something. 10/10! Also I had to buy a SD card for this but they r kinda cheap.

Very good console for kids kids can share this and play
