Customer Ratings & Reviews

Recommended for kids, didn’t feel real time gaming experience

Plain - I dont feel like its worth the money ... get a PlayStation VR!

Its cool for the kids but some games lag or glitch not for gamers

I love this system, and the game arms. I play everyday with my kids.

wasn't as good as expected, took it back after only a week.

There's no game included only let's dance, the games are not cheap

Don’t waste your money... Nintendo wii is so much better

Fun for an hour, wouldn’t reconditioned to anyone else

Limited games. Not much else to do with it but play games.

It's ok..just wish the controls were more reliable

The product is good but the battery would die quick

I got this for grandson who is 7 said it’s really boring

This is a great system, only wish there were more games to play.

I'll be brutally honest about Nintendo consoles for the last 15 years. They have been performing subpar in the hardware department and the Switch is no different. Nintendo has drastically changed their focus sine the glory days of the SNES and N64 and it certainly shows. No longer do we have the graphics that were ahead of our time like the 16-bit sprites that still hold up to this day. Instead we get bad resolutions and frame rates that are present on almost every switch game. The Nintendo Switch can barely produce a 1080p picture in the year 2020, which is leagues behind the other two consoles and PC. Not to mention the frame rates are mostly 30fps or slower, like in Breath of the Wild or The Witcher 3, among several other AAA titles. Games run even worse in portable mode. This is simply unacceptable in this day and age. There is also no optical input, so if you aren't using a receiver or instead have a sound system that only has optical or analog, then you are screwed and will not get any surround sound. Truly pathetic. I have found no reason to buy any 3rd party video game for the Nintendo Switch as they all run inferior to the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro and PC. This makes the Switch pretty irrelevant in my household. The only reason I still have this system is for the very, very, very FEW first party games that are great, like Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, BoTW, Link's Awakening, etc. Most of the exclusives on Switch are very bad and childish or family oriented games that I do not care for. All those cons I listed are mostly personal preference, but the poor hardware capability of this system cannot be ignored. I am playing games in 4k resolution on the other consoles and on PC, so the fact that Nintendo has FINALLY made the jump to 1080p DOCKED is laughable at best. And the fact that most of the games run like garbage forces me to knock off 2 stars to give this system an average rating at best. Now on to the one good thing about this system, if there is such a thing. I have not been a mobile gamer since I was a kid, because there simply is no reason to be a mobile gamer as an adult. I own a LED 4k HDR TV, don't fly on airplanes, don't ride trains, never a passenger in a vehicle, not able to play at work (nor would I want to on a tiny screen), etc. If you are someone who travels a LOT, and I mean a LOT then this hybrid console is for you. I'd almost be inclined to recommend the Lite version instead at that point. But if you are someone who has been gaming on a TV since video games existed, then you might be sorely disappointed with this console. Also, I believe my 3DS has a better library than the Switch so if I ever play portable it's my 3DS still, since I have better titles on that than I have found on the Switch. So, I have to give it 3 stars at the most based on these reasons in nutshell, Cons - Very poor performance/hardware - Too few great exclusives that I care about - Online component is yet again extremely limited - Third party games are pointless on Switch outside mobile gaming - Joycons are hit and miss. In some games they will not be very responsive (DK Tropical Freeze is a great example). This is a very popular issue that still is not fixed to my knowledge. Pros - Portability is great for constant travelers or children with no TV - Price is great - Some people will enjoy the more family/childlike exclusives Final verdict - fair to average console for me and most of the adults I know personally. Definitely recommend a PS4 Pro or Xbox One x over the Switch if you only have 1 choice.

So fun but with the time its scratch and is so small

Pay all that money and there is very minimal storage and no games that come with it.

We had heard so much about this game. Unfortunately when we bought it we had so many issues with audio, the controllers and it didn’t work properly on our tv. Heard a couple of days later Nintendo was having issues. Idk.

really limited on the games out there really limited on apps you can download Nintendo should know gamers like to use there systems not only for gaming but also to stream video at least youtube but not even that overpriced for limited futures to me the system feels cheap plasticky

I would say get a ps4 or xbox. This device is a waste.

way under powered, costs way to much, dock is cheap plastic. Only buy if you want a first party game... like Zelda. Zelda came out for Wii U also, that systems is even worse. With so many large cell phones and tables, is there a need for a devise like this? I don't think so,
