Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've owned the Switch for almost two years now and, honestly, I don't use it much. Most games that come out are better served using either a PC or a PS4/Xbox. So, if you are considering a Switch, be aware that it's primarily for exclusive titles- of which there aren't *that* many. On a technical level, the Switch isn't that great. In docked mode it tends to overheat during long sessions, which, I believe, caused some minor graphical glitches in some games I've played. I don't know if playing a docked mode will decrease the system's lifespan, but overheating is never a good thing. The joycons that came with it have also had some problems. The right joycon's stick is starting to suffer from drift, and the Y button on the left joycon is sometimes unresponsive. It's strange to me to have such technical problems from such an expensive device, since I've owned I don't know how many controllers from other systems and never had this issue before. Buttons may get sticky, but I've never had a controller become unresponsive or start drifting. When the Switch is undocked, the battery is paltry. The whole idea is to be able to pick it up and take it around- and you can, but only for a few hours. Apparently, the newer model's battery lasts a little more, but not by that much. If you're going anywhere away from the charging station, you need to take the charging cable with you- of which there is only one. You either plug it into the charging dock, or you unplug it and take it where you need to. It's pretty cheap that they don't even include a second charging cable, considering how annoying it is to unplug it from the dock. Overall, the console isn't that great. Outside of playing a few exclusive titles, it has very few apps on it. Netflix still isn't on it, neither is Disney+. Combined with the physical technical problems the console seems to suffer from, I just can't recommend this to anyone that isn't a rabid Nintendo fan.

amazing console, i am very happy i got one to play AC :)

My children love the games They enjoy playing it is good quality I’m happy I bought it

My child has been wanting this for over a year. It will be a Christmas present this year.

Great 1st party exclusive games. The ability to take it on the go makes this a must have.

Ohh man I like this system especially since super smash brothers came out im on this 24/7

Love this Nintendo system! Smash Brothers is my favorite game of all time!

Good console, cool because its both portable and can dock, needs more games for it though

Looking forward to many great times with family as we play our Switch!

Perfection! Great for the house and on the go! Perfect little device

And two kids can enjoy at once!!! Everyone is happy! Of course, I had to buy also a pair of binoculars and some out door gear to encourage balance and outside real play as well... After the initial panic of ZERO of these being available most of this holiday season, a best buy guy informed us to just keep trying, and eventually we were able to order one.

One of the bests consoles games ever. Great for the whole family.

It’s the joy of having a Wii on the go and I’m sadly addicted and loving every minute !!

Just bought this system for my nephew works like it should.

I bought it for my kids last Xmas and since I liked it so much I end up getting my own.

great design, portable and the Tip games from the past that you'll enjoy

It is a good system for kids to get started with video games. I love the MARIO games

Easy to go from docked to handheld mode. Best Nintendo console made yet in my mind.
