Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is really fun to play on and the titles for it are great. Really good for single player games as well as family games

Awesome innovative console. While Playstation and xbox have been releasing very similar consoles with high specs every generation, Nintendo has actually worked on making a console with unique functionality. The ability to switch between home console and portable mode means you can take your big screen games on the go with you. The switch also allows for a big range of customization with various accessories not available to the other consoles.

My son loves it. Easy to use and has good quality.

Bought this for my son and he loves it. He can take it anywhere with him, play in the car, restaurant or just at home on the tv.

I did a good deal of research on the Nintendo Switch (NS) with customer reviews before making my purchase. From the portability of the system to the gaming experience, quality of graphics on a small screen, to the functionality of connecting to a television. You cannot beat all of that functionality with another like device. I've seen the comparisons with Wii and others of this type but do not compare in meeting all of the options that the NS offers. I bought this system for my young son and he thoroughly enjoys his monitored playtime.

It has all the best titles-- and you can play them on the go. I mainly PC game and am an avid Overwatch player and have a 144hz monitor and a Nvidia 1080-- but to play, a much slower version, Overwatch at work during lunch is a blast! Voice chat and all the regular toxic Overwatch and is there too. Zelda is top notch, Mario was a blast and all the info titles like DeadCells, Cuphead all run great. Can't complain-- no wonder you can't find this thing in stores!

Great updated switch with better battery life and brighter screen. Model #: HAC-001(-01).

I had a friend that shared they were in stock and to just keep hitting refresh as long as it didn’t show Sold Out! after 8 minutes, it went through! So far holding up well. I bought it for my 5 year old to help cope with isolation, and I forgot how much reading Nintendo games require... he likes it handheld better for little hands but we have fun with new versions of the games I loved on N64, GameCube and Wii. I love that you can play SNES and NES stuff as well!

My family and I have 2 switches, we enjoy them both but here's the quirk that we don't enjoy. If you have a Family Nintendo Online account, the primary account can enjoy games on both switches (digital downloads) but the other members of the family cannot play those games (regardless of if they are being played on the other switch). Now this is not an issue if you own the physical cartridge so note that the problem is only with digital editions. Second quirk, most games do not have cloud saves and when you "transfer" a save between systems it fully moves it from one system to the other. Now, those are the only negatives that I can say about the switch. If you are a solo player and are not sharing a system then I doubt you'll run into these issues. Battery Life is good, screen is good, games are fun. And, again if you are a solo player the digital store is great if you dont want to carry around a bunch of game cards.

Awesome sound, good price, easy set up, looks great.

Congrats to Nintendo for launching the Switch! I'm also glad I never bought into the Nintendo Wii U. They could have saved a lot of loyal followers if they had just made this instead of the Wii U. Then again, I guess without the U, maybe the switch wouldn't have been conceived. Game play is good, nowhere near a PS4 or XBox, but then again, Nintendo's mission to me, is more fun for everyone over video quality. Hands down, the Switch is fun. If you're still playing with the original Wii, switch over to the Switch. You won't regret it.

Got this for my daughter and I to play on. I used to love playing Wii sports and decided to give the nitendo sports a go and my family and I love to play it on family game nights. My daughter is 3 and we love to play mario party together

We love the switch. It’s easy to setup, fun for the whole family, and you can easily spend the day playing together. Highly recommended!

Easy to set up and play. Lots of kid-friendsly games. Got one for all the kids to help with quarantine.

At first I was so stuck between this & the lite( since it was cheaper) but I’m glad I brought this because I can dock it to the tv and play on the go. Ever since I got it I haven’t been able to put it down. It’s really the best of both worlds. It’s like a DS/ wii / Xbox or ps4 all in one system. Really thought I was going to return it but nope I love it !! Only thing is if you have a Xbox, buttons are in different order so might take some time getting use.

After the mediocrity that has been the Wii and the only slight improvement that Nintendo brought with the Wii U, I had begun to lose my extreme interest in following whatever it was Nintendo was up to at the time. When the switch was leaked I was horrified at the prospect of a console that "bridged the gap between portable and console gaming". However after the release and the long wait to find a unit, I must say I am blown away. The hand-held + portability of the console was something I didn't think I would care much for and was glad that there is the option to simply dock the switch and play on my TV in a traditional format. However I find that I am bringing my switch on the go whenever I can and am immensely enjoying the portability and power that the switch holds. The joy cons are quite comfortable and were easy to adjust quickly to. The starting line-up of games has been on the smaller end but is packed with many great hits right off the bat. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms, Splatoon 2, and more are all keeping me busy for hours. And with many new games coming up this fall and next year I can't wait to see what Nintendo has in store for us this generation. Definitely recommend jumping on the Switch train now!

My younger brother loved it, he always plays with it

I got this Switch for my 7 year old son’s birthday after debating between the PS5 and Xbox. He likes it and I love the fact that it can be hand held or hooked up to the tv. It is definitely a nice gaming system for younger kids.

The Pros: Portable, Nintendo exclusives, 3rd party support will surely come The Cons: Least powerful console, plastic screen prone to scratches, joycon is not an ideal gamepad, you'll spend more money on necessary accessories More cons than pros, but I still recommend it. The portability alone makes it unique. Back in the days, gamers would get together and actually play games and socialize in person, but online multiplayer gaming has made that less possible. Nintendo Switch brings the people together to play games. It feels really good to be able to come visit my friend in person and play together on our own Switches; the same feeling I have when I brought my 3DS to his home. This is a big reason to own the Switch and it may appeal to the more outgoing gamers than the ones who play games in the dark while being alone at home in their rooms. Humans are social animals which need to socialize in person, so the Switch satisfies this need. With that really important point that it's portable, plus Nintendo exclusives and promises of 3rd party support to come, I'm sold on it, and you should be, too.

I haven’t used a Wii in so long but the Wii switch is better than the system from years ago. Now I play just dance and Mario cart.
