Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’m so glad I waited and didn’t settle for a switch lite. The light would be good as a second console but I love using this switch on the go or docked. Great battery life. I like how you can play games using one joycon meaning you won’t need to buy a second controller right away.

I haven’t stopped playing!! Very good system on the go

Familiar with both handheld and home console gaming alike on various systems, (NES, Gameboy, 64, Gamecube, DS, Wii, and 3DS), the Nintendo Switch was an exciting purchase for me because of its hybrid functionality. When it comes to the Nintendo Switch, the developers at Nintendo did not disappoint. Their team designed a sleek console and created an exceptional hybrid gaming experience with solid titles like Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and others. Whether you are playing in the comfort of your living room on your TV, on a road trip, with a group of friends, or alone curled up in bed, the Switch's hybrid functionality makes it Nintendo's most innovative and flexible console to date, and it provides hours of entertainment for really any age. Regardless of how I choose to play a game, the design and flexibility of the Switch's Joy-Cons makes "switching" from different controller modes fun, and a super easy and intuitive experience. Pros: - EXCELLENT design of console and controllers - Console itself is very durable, docking it is straightforward and easy - Easy to switch from handheld, to Joy-Cons, to controller, etc. (satisfying, almost fun "click" sound when the controllers are attached in place), a sleek and intuitive experience. - Option of neon red/blue vs gray Joy-Cons (there are other color options as well, sold separately, or are available depending on what bundle you buy) - Graphics are excellent - Great sound - Both physical game cartridges and digital download options are available - Good storage space - Great game library - Super Mario Odyssey, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Splatoon 2, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, Yoshi's Crafted World, Super Mario Maker 2, Fortnite, etc. - Excellent overall user experience! Cons: - No backwards compatibility for older games on Wii or Wii U - Battery life could be a little better. For example, it's good for about 2.5-3 hours when playing Super Mario Odyssey in handheld mode. Overall, for the Nintendo Switch, I would say the positives far outweigh the negatives. In a nutshell, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this console! There's a great library of games on this system which all provide literally hours of fun for friends and family of really any age.

Works as expected, We had a Switch lite but now we can play together.

I’m not 100 percent sold on that this is the best console but it’s convenient to use on the go for car rides and take to someone’s house to play with friends. I’ve had to have it fixed 2 times for charging issues and getting the games back if they are digital is kind of an annoyance if you forget your sign in info. The controllers lose signal quite a bit for us but it’s fun

Switch were sold out everywhere due to COVID-19. There was no telling when more would be back in stock. Best Buy is the only store that have a small shipment of them. I was lucky to get one. It arrived more than a week after I ordered it and it's been great. The games are awesome!

My middle son wanted this version because it was easier to use with his disability. The fact the controller can be used separately makes it ideal for him. After a year only issue he dropped it and we had to replace the controller. Not the systems fault any system would have suffered from the drop this one did. The fact the removable controller was the only damage is amazing.

Kid's living there best life after I purchased this for them at the learning center

Love this!!! Great to have and play with friends or family!

I haven't used a console in many years, being preferentially a PC gamer, but the flexible options for using this console either as a handheld or on my big screen TV makes it a very compelling option, and something that you can't really do with PC. Highly recommend if you prefer to game while on mass transit (or as a passenger).

Kids love it and best part is we had a problem with the system and Best Buy made it easy and quick to fix with the warranty. Thank you all!

When I opened up the box, everything was in the box. I set up the switch and everything was working pretty well. The battery was charged up as well. I would get all of my consoles from best buy.

Great game for our son. He likes to connect and play on the tv.

I have to say that I was very pleased with the Nintendo Switch. It's not the most powerful console, and the "controller" is not super comfortable to use (but it's not that bad). The fact that you can take the Switch on the go is interesting. I've not used it outside of the house, but I did take the Switch to my room when somebody else was using the tv. I've never been able to do that with any other major console. The inclusion of one controller is annoying. If you want to play with somebody else locally, another controller is needed and Nintendo charges a LOT for a controller.

Love the switch! so versatile and not a gimmick. I was skeptical at first because I wasn't sure how well the docking and to go playing will be but it's just so simple. Just dock in to play and pull it out to play on the go, it works flawlessly. Best nintendo system ever made!

The device is good mobile game device with good games

I play this more than my ps4, & PC. And, well, ps4 and pc are cheaper games, espcially pc, yet i still buy more games and spend more time on the switch. The best part is, Nintendo is caterring to majority of the public rather than a a small certain audience. (Adult theme'd games, Shooters like DOOM, rockstar games, indie games)

Loads of fun and blows the Nintendo wii and Wii U away. The key is its being so portable. I still have a ps4 and that is my multi console game system. I only buy the Nintendo exclusive games like Mario and Zelda. also feel that these games and better for younger kids. Only downfall is that accessories are ridiculously expensive.

I love how portable it is and the selection of games.

Bought this for my anniversary so we could play together. I loved the switch more than her so I took it and left. Overall, very fun!
