Customer Ratings & Reviews

Never owned a Nintendo console, and happy I got this one! Equally as happy that it was finally in stock on Bestbuy.com, and that it was MSRP! Ease of setup and selection of games is great. Happy I made the purchase!!!

Just what we expected! My grandson loves it! I don’t regret buying it so he can stay off my Xbox lol

I came off being pretty bitter about Nintendo's final stand alone console the WiiU, the first Nintendo (or really console in general) I've sold off in disgust due to their actions and third parties alike. Knowing how people see Nintendo = Resell I preordered, and up until the last moment I wasn't sure if I'd keep it but I did. After getting it out of the box and setup I was pleasantly surprised to see how comfortable the device was, felt nice, familiar to my (and inside it is) Nvidia Shield tablet, yet minimalist and to the point. Easily configured and setup out of the box, a very fast and painless effort compared to other devices I own or have owned from game makers. It's a comfortable device to use either with the joycons on the device as an intended handheld that it is, or with the bracket to use it as a gamepad and play off the TV in even higher resolution. I just had Zelda Breath of the Wind for a couple weeks, so it was the real test bed. That game was easy to lose hours of time on and not realize it, and thankfully the comfort of the device didn't make it clear discomfort could happen, as it never did. I had runs as short as under 2 hours and as high as 6 on accident a day or two and everything went well. Easy on the eyes in either mode, comfortable in either mode to play using all buttons, solid audio in either style as well. Visually it's an appealing system with games. I've since imported a real copy(physical) of I Am Setsuna (it plays in English, French too), Blaster Master 0 download, and a physical copy of Binding of Isaac. Each has it's own visual and audio style and the system lends well to it. You have on one end a more technical sounding or 8bit throw back style, then with the RPG it has a really moving smooth piano score throughout that sounds like CD quality audio. The various visual styles all come off a crisp, smooth, non jarring, a real treat. The only complaints I can really throw at the device I can't dock a star for as they're not necessities. It would have been nice if you could charge the joycons via the bracket, but given the life they have docking them to the tablet isn't an issue. The kickstand is flimsy in back, you need to be on a flat surface or it could just tip over. I imagine if you're abusive you could pop it off, but it appears tabbed and could pop back in. Some have argued the system dock can scratch it, yes if you're rough it perhaps could, but if you put it in like a mature person straight in and not just toss it in at an angle grinding along the screen area it's fine. If that's a problem, so be it but you can get a glass screen protector or a nice sleeve for the dock itself by third party designers. The systems has a few little potential perceived physical flaws depending on personal usage, but where it counts inside, the display, the audio, the controls themselves it works like a charm.

I basically stood in line for 4hrs to get this console. The box came with the switch, 2 controllers, AC adapter, TV stand and as a pleasant surprise an HDMI cable. The setup is very easy. Do I like this? Overall I would say Nintendo needs to expand in its current game library. As a portable machine it’s very good. However the moment you connect it to the TV and play 2 players then the remote feels way too small. I’m not sure if I would use the smaller controller and hope that Nintendo will make a full size controller. I do enjoy playing Mario Kart and Splatoon. It works great online as well!

Nintedo Switch is a great family video game system. Lots of fun titles including all the favorites like Mario Kart and Zelda BOTW. I really enjoy the multiplayer games like Overcooked and recently Animal Crossing.

This game system has brought so much happiness to my life. Nintendo games are so much fun and their characters are so endearing.

before buying i read many reviews and had learned of some problems the system had but overall it is a fun system to play on although upon first starting it up it is pretty empty and devoid of much of anything but that's a good thing considering the system storage.

Love my switch! Couldn’t go without this gaming device! As a family we love having the switch! Everyone has their own(A switch or lite) in the house!

I was skeptical about getting the Switch in the beginning, thinking that I had aged out of the Nintendo generation (I'm an 80's baby). But i would argue to say that if there was any age group that appreciates the nostalgia of the original Nintendo games and gets to relive them in their latest iteration, this is a must-have console. If all you do is play Mario Kart, Zelda, Smash Bros Ultimate, Pokemon, and Mario Bros. Deluxe (when it comes out), getting a switch will have been completely worth it. Definitely my go-to piece of hardware for any prolonged air-travel.

Love the switch works great. This is my second one I had my first one went threw the washer inside sheets that I didn’t see.

The staff is cool head & has a good customer service

Very good device my kids finally found a device gives them their choices game. Buy the way sometime I use it with them.

I've had this for about a month. I did all the updates to make the firmware current because at first, I was getting connection issues when I startup. I thought the firmware updates would fix that but it doesn't do it often. It does getting a little annoying at times. My family does enjoy the portability and games the console has to offer. I did read that some people do experience the connection issue and it could be something with the settings on the router.

I personally love the Nintendo switch and so does my son. They have plenty of games for everyone. Works great as a handheld device or playing on a big screen by using the Switch Dock. Easy to figure out and work with. My son is 4 and he plays it without any issues.

I like how you can either connect to the TV or use it as a portable console and my kids love it. There are plenty of games you can download and you also get coins when purchasing games so you can get some games for 'free'.

The system works great and the grandkids love it. The setup was easy and all the accessories work well with the game.

Already had one, got one for the lil bro. He loves it. Nintendo needs to fix the joycons though because they already are defective

I had to get a second one as the kids love the first one. I have had no issues. I love that I can buy a game on one and use it on the other. That was the one concern I had and was happy to see the result. Love it.

My daughter absolutely LOVES the Nintendo Switch. It’s so easy for her to use and great when traveling.

I love my Nintendo Switch. I bought this item in prime time Covid ERA, and it was quite the challenge to get, and luckily I logged onto Best Buy at the right time and I was able to secure a console. Very satisfied.
