Customer Ratings & Reviews

I waited 8 hours in the rain on launch day to be first in line for this system, and it was worth every minute. Many people dismiss the Switch as being a system online mobile gamers will care for, but I do not think these people understand the true essence of the system. It is not as much about playing the console outside your home as it is providing flexibility playing it within your home. In the middle of a quest but need to use the bathroom? Switch! Your wife wants to cuddle with you while you are playing? Separate the Joy Cons from the grip and wrap your arms around her. I cannot say enough positive things about it. Get one if you have the chance.

This game system is amazing. I love that you can single player in an airplane or hook up to the TV with friends or to single player as a console style gaming system.

I was able to get a couple of these launch day, one for me, one for a friend and WOW. They have lived up to the hype, at first I wasn't sure if it was the switch as much as it was breath of the wild, so I waited to post my review. But wow, the switch is a game changer because of it's innovative features. I can take it anywhere and I don't think it really resonates that you have a portable console until you actually own one. It's amazing how I can be playing breath of the wild on my TV screen and then take it with me wherever. I can only see the portability aspect of this getting better as more games come out. When more restock I would highly recommend!

Very happy with the capabilities and functionality of this device. Highly recommend investing in a wireless controller

I didn't think I was going to like the Switch... I kept reminding myself about the days were you would buy the Wii U and it sat there collecting dust. This is way different... Just the fact that it's portable makes it worth it. I haven't been able to put this thing down at all. Been stuck playing 2 games: Zelda BOTW Final Fantasy VII Original I would imagine that this is going to be great for kids since it has a lot of options, but I would only let the kids play when it's mounted. The downside of this is that it seems fragile and easy to drop.

After the flop that was the Wii U, I was hesitant to jump on board with the switch. My husband and I are often at odds with use of our living room TV. So I love that fact that if I'm in the middle of a game and he wants to watch something, I can just undock this and go about my merry way. This combines everything I love about having a Nintendo console and a handheld gaming device. I was a Gameboy kid through and through so I've always had to have a handheld and this lets me do both and transition between then like nothing. My favorite system since the GameCube.

My family loves the new switch, user friendly and very accurate control movement. Portable and joy cons hold a long charge. I recommend buying a carrying case for it when traveling.

As a kid you used to play my Nintendo all of the time, and the switch gives me that nostalgia feeling. It’s nothing like the Xbox or PlayStation. The only thing I would say could be better would be how long it took to get the online code figured out.

Unfortunately not every games allows you to use the traditional two handed control. Which is unfortunate but the detachable controllers give it more of an body movement.

We bought this for our 13 year old son birthday. He loves it and don't want to put it down. The screen is the prefect size. Me as a parent love the control it gives to me. I can set time limits as well as what he can play. This has been a very big help in him getting his chores done.

Easy to buy, best buy was the only store I could find that had them in stock back in the Spring. Ordered it through their pickup service it went smoothly and was ready to pickup quick! Switch in perfect condition and loads of fun.

Console is small and can easily be taken with you anywhere you go. Grandkids will love playing it on road trips. Price is reasonable.Can transform from a console to a mobile system.

Priced as it normally is great gift for my daughter she loves it

Kid is very pleased! Not sure if they made improvements, but this one had more storage space than the Switch we bought 4 years ago.

amazingly great, this was the best item games i have given for my son. got multiple access for the items on its featured

My nephew is in love with the switch since he’s home and doesn’t have anything to do at the moment. Great way to keep him busy

I travel a lot for work. The Switch has been great for traveling on planes, in the hotel room, or when I'm waiting for a colleague outside of a meeting. The battery life isn't great, so an external battery pack is a necessity. Some of the ported games leave something to be desired, but Zelda and Mario are must play games. I would highly recommend buying a Nintendo Switch if you're a gamer who travels, or even if you're someone who was a big Nintendo fan in the past. The system is also great for younger kids and families to play together as it is one of the more co-op friendly consoles. Worth getting for sure!

I am a PC Gamer, I do not own any current gen consoles. That said the biggest selling point was portability since I can not bring 3 monitors and desktop with me everywhere. For the price you get a well built system that on paper has very underwhelming specs (2 year old nvidia CPU). BUT the switch 720p screen is great quality and unless you seen the specs sheet you would not know it was that low of a resolution. I did not expect much graphically of the system but is better then expected. Docking and playing on a TV has been a pleasant experience as well. The $300 MSRP though is far from what you will spend including games and pro controller ( to play with friends ) but that is the same with all consoles. Battery life is meh at best (about 3 hours), so expect to invest into a battery pack if you play on the go. The online is probably the best in terms of Nintendo consoles so far but overall Ui is weak. The game library is lacking like most new consoles but between the current big titles like zelda, mario kart, and now street fighter (and a few indy games) you'll definitely have enough to play. So would I suggest this as someone main/first gaming device, no. For someone like me who PC games or even those on current gen xbox and ps and wants to game on the go, then yes. Again the single best selling point is gaming on the go. If this was a docking / stationary console ONLY it wouldn't have even been considered.

This is a great game console, with lots of fun, and is especially a good way to keep the kids away from other stuff of the internet

Simply stated: Nintendo switch is awesome. I'm so, so happy I decided to shell out the cash to get one when given the opportunity. If you're looking for an excellent console, focused squarely on games that remember that fun is the key ingredient, look no further. Also, Best Buy sold the console at a fair price, shipped it directly to my home inexpensively, and I even received it three days before expected. All-in-all I'm thrilled with the entire process. I'd write more, but its time to go save Hyrule. Happy gaming!
