Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought for Christmas. Love it. Always a Nintendo fan.

Out of my One-S, PS4 and Switch, there isn’t even a contender, the switch gets used the most. The graphics aren’t on the same level as the other systems, game selection is different (still excellent in it’s own right), but the portability and versatility are absolute game-changers in comparison. The Switch is perfect for those who have limited time per gaming-session, share a living room tv or travel frequently. 10/10 I recommend this console. Side Note: Can’t attest to local multiplayer— not a fan of splitting up the dinky nun-chucks, and additional controllers are absurdly expensive.

I bought it for my daughter and it was a great decision. She not only plays games like Pokémon and MARIO on it, but she also has Hulu and YouTube installed to watch her movies during the time she has it. Great purchase very versatile from big screen to on the go.

My 12 year old son is having a blast with this Nintendo system. I really enjoy playing with him. It’s super fun, easy to setup and the portable feature is awesome. We played Mario Kart at a restaurant waiting for our food and was surprised how great it worked even without the TV. We love it!

It's great for groups, Smash Bros and Mario Cart come to mind. This was my second Switch after getting one for my son last year, was on a mission to get one since December. Props to Best Buy got it for the actual retail price and no resellers here.

I stopped console gaming in the mid-2000's and stopped PC gaming in the late 2000's. Mainly a casual mobile/phone gamer up until now. The Switch and its unique hybrid set-top and handheld format is perfect for someone like me who doesn't have much time to sit in front of a television at home.

Great for on the go use, my family loves it because we’re very competitive and enjoy playing Mario cart or Super Mario bros

The nintendo switch is an awesome console with alot of fun games. Easy to set up, enjoyable even. The joy cons are a joy to use even though I have large hands (clean the controllers regularly to dissuade joy-con drift). Great so far, no complaints!

Item is great ive always wanted a nintendo switch and so far im loving the games and the system.

Bought this for my teenage daughter as Christmas present. She absolutely loved it. Easy to set up and easy to control for her. She was able to share with my son and husband; and they all had fun playing together. It’s a great system for the entire family.

Great travel system for my 12 year old son. We are able to play games together with multiple controllers. Love that you can dock it to play on the TV or hold it in your hands. This system is light weight and easy to take on the go. Great product overall.

This is a great gift at a great price and Best Buy's inventory is always new! This hasn't been opened because it is a Christmas gift for my 12-year-old grandson. Will check back at that time, but this is the only thing he asked for. It's certain to be a hit!

The Nintendo Switch is a super device -- I really love it and I have yet to connect it to my TV! I am so far only using it as a handheld and the performance can't be beat. I know that once I DO plug it into my TV, I'll love that as well -- but for now, I can't get enough "gaming on the go!"

These things can do it all! I love the nostalgia it’s brought me with the assortment of games available. Great battery life!

Love the switch, has everything you could think of. Very nostalgic and ease of use. I was skeptical on buying at first due to the price, but I made the leap and haven't looked back since. 10/10 would recommend to a friend. Great for both kids and adults!!!

The Nintendo switch is an amazing console. I thought the whole mobile aspect was going to just be an added feature that I would never utilize, I was dead wrong. I play more as a mobile than a console. The graphics are beautiful and the details within Zelda: Breath of the wild are stunning.

Great purchase my son and I play it everyday and when my nieces and daughter come over we all play is so much fun

This system is great and fun for all ages, the controllers are easy to use.

The Switch is a great console. One of Nintendo's best consoles in a while. Nice to finally get further removed from the old motion detection controls that the Wii introduced and returning to more traditional controller layouts. The size, shape and abilities of the Switch are all very good. I really like that Nintendo makes their consoles to be just a console and focus on only games. I'd appreciate a Netflix app, but I'll take this instead of diluting what this hardware is. Love the simple, easy menus. The controls feel pretty good. The Joy Con controllers are just fine. The Switch screen is great. Just the right size I'd say. It's smooth, clear and feels perfect for a gaming experience. It feels great when holding it. I ended up playing it more so as a handheld, since my TV is small and it's easier to see finer details and text up close. The Switch will give you the ability to do 2 player with the two Joy Cons, such as playing Mario Kart 8, but people will probably find the tiny size of the Joy Cons awkward or uncomfortable when first introduced to them. Perhaps these were built for small children in mind, since their hands are smaller than adults. But still, no additional purchase of a second controller is necessary in order for two people to play together. Most other consoles today don't provide you with that. The docking station is good. Works really well. Switches between handheld and docked states very quickly and easily. The Switch appeared to keep battery well, though I rarely played a session long enough to really tell how long it could last. Make sure you cover the screen with a protector before docking!! There is an online, Nintendo store on the console, where you can download demos, see latest news on upcoming games or recent/popular games as well as buy a digital copy of a game to download, if you don't prefer physical copies of games. If for some reason, you remove that digital game from your console, you can always go back and re-download it, as that purchase is tied to your Nintendo account. The only thing that I felt was not as advertised was the ease of removing the Joy Con controllers off the Switch, while the Switch was in its docking station. In the trailers for the Switch it looks smooth and easy, in reality, you have to hold down the "release" buttons and pull them out, one at a time, while holding the Switch to make sure it didn't get pulled out of it's docking station. But that's a minor flaw. That's only if you need to remove them, which I didn't do often as, again, I used it mostly in it's handheld form. In conclusion, I had a pretty good time using the Nintendo Switch. I think they did such a great job designing and implementing this new console. I imagine this console is going to be around for a while.

This is a great investment for a family looking for more indoor interaction!
