Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son loves the switch, wish I could have grabbed the OLED version of this but it was out of stock when I purchased

I was late to join the Switch party but was fortunate to order it in the 1 hour it wasn't sold out and I'm so happy I did! I love that the controllers are gray; I find the design so much more sleek and professional than the more juvenile blue and red. It was super easy to set up, especially for someone who has never owned a console before, and the controls were so easy to get used to! It's disappointing that everything is so expensive but I'm still happy I got it!

The game is excellent the kids love it abs it has enhanced features. Multiple people can play or individual play is just as rewarding. There are so many compatible games to go with this game.

Anybody over 40 needs this. It has a subscription yearly for access to nes snes n64 and sega games. Its awesome!

I snagged this is while it was in stock and I was so happy! The colors I was worried would look cheap but they are bright and nice looking! The screen is bigger than I expected , overall it’s great!

This is a difficult thing to review, because there's really no basis for comparison. It's not directly competing with the PS4 or Xbox One, since it's not even close to those two in terms of processing power. Nintendo is clearly taking a different approach by relying on the console's portability (which is fantastic) and the platform's titles (which is fantastic, with a giant asterisk). The asterisk is, at this moment, the only truly standpoint title is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Indeed, that game is so good, that it alone nearly justifies the price of the console for some. My greater concern is that, once the enthusiasm and novelty has worn off, is the Switch just going to collect dust? Only time will tell that tale. As far as the Switch itself, it seems well built. I've had absolutely no issues with mine, but it has spent 95% of its time with me on the dock, plugged into a TV. The resolution is a little low, compared to the consoles from Sony and Microsoft, but as I said before, it's not really a direct competitor to those. Its firmly in the "non-photorealistic" camp, and it's proud to be there. I'm just hopeful that more excellent titles are forthcoming.

The Nintendo switch is a game changer is the gaming system world. The portability is amazing and the game selection is going to be even better.

This was purchased for the whole family and it was a huge hit. Switch is known to have a lot of games that can be played in groups which is great as I have three kids and friends/family that come over often. With classic games like the Mario series all ages can play. With the Switch you can play mobile (Gameboy/DS) or traditionally on the TV.. Only downsides to the system is you can't just buy a game and system and go. You don't have to but foolish to not purchase protection (Case, screen) or more memory.

Favorite console! I play all my other games on pc but the Nintendo just gives you that legacy gaming feel. And having huge game names on it! I love the joycons, so many different ways to actually play the games. You can design it the way you want also. The Nintendo shop is 10-10. And if you are going on a plane or to family or friends you can just bring the tablet and keep playing. Or my favorite is when I’m getting ready to go to bed I can just grab the switch from the dock and go into my bed right where I left off.

Great product, product inside the box nice and nit customer service very professional very helpful people.

This is the next evolution in the Nintendo handheld line up. Hardware is no where close to the PS4 or XBone but the Switch works with what it's got and it does a fairly decent job. Only time will tell how far they can push this hardware...

I had resisted getting a Switch until now because I sometimes am so confused by some of Nintendo's choices. Although a huge fan in the past, I couldn't understand why certain games couldn't have saves backed up on external media or why it took so long to establish true user accounts so that games could be re-downloaded when needed. Now that most of the issues are fixed, I got a Switch to play Mario Odyssey. I have been very happy with the system and love the portable/home console hybrid approach. Highly recommended!

This system is awesome. The versatility is its biggest strength. Wish the controlllers were bigger. Also looking forward to more games.

I am very happy with my switch and have been playing it every so often giving me lots of entertainment.

Nintendo took a risk with the Switch, and it worked! Unlike the failure of the WiiU, the Switch's ideas and potential have been embraced rather than rejected by society this time around. The fact that the console is legitimately portable is a huge plus. Also, I love that the joy cons can become individual controllers, which means the console comes with two controllers instead of the usual one. This is an awesome console and has a fantastic library. If you're considering buying a Switch, you should definitely do it!

I was skeptical and hesitant to buy the switch. I first bought the Wii back then and never played it after a few months. With the limited game launches at the time and trying real hard to the enjoy the system I traded it in, plus I had my PS3 and Xbox 360 then. My DS lite at the time had more playtime than my Wii. Anywho, fast forward to now and not impressed by the Wii U, this system got me real interested. I think the biggest factor here is the portability. I can literally play on the go then switch right on to my TV if I wanted to, just like the title of this system implies. Sure, it has slow launch titles as well just like any other systems that first come out, but this time around it wasn't a factor. Being that its been sold out for some time was like a challenge for me and was one of the other few reasons I purchased the Switch. Graphics are surprisingly there from a handheld perspective. It's an innovative piece of hardware. The only downfall I can say for this system is the battery life hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, after reviews after reviews and watching videos, I can say I am happy with this purchase. As a side note I am a PS4 and Xbox One S owner as well.

Held off buying this new system to see how things went. Finally got it and it did not disappoint me at all! Fun, portable and Mario! Go get it!

one of my favorite consoles of all time it is pretty underpowered but the first party library alone makes it worth it

I bought My fiancé the switch as a Christmas gift and he absolutely loves it! What I love is that he can play anywhere. We recently went on a trip to Switzerland/Germany and he played it on the flight and it also came in handy on our 6 hr train ride from Germany to Switzerland. He played with my best friends husband and they had a great time! I love how versatile it is, that one isn’t just stuck playing at home but can play anywhere with anyone! Absolutely incredible console and would recommend it to anyone 100%!

I haven't opened it up yet because it's a Christmas gift for my boy, but he's played one that was on display in the store and fell in love with it. I'm sure he's going to love this one as well. I'll post a follow up review after Christmas.
