    Great portable gaming console

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I don’t have much to say bad in regards to the Nintendo Switch. It’s been pretty fun. Just make sure that you get a larger memory for it especially if you’re gonna add a lot of games on it. You will run out of space fast with just what’s given to you on the switch? Also, I noticed that the controllers tend to not Fasten to the switch as much with frequent use of being snapped on and off.

    great console

    This console is versatile, fun, and easy to use. It can switch from TV mode to handheld mode in seconds. It also supports local and online multiplayer games with the Joy-Con controllers. The games are diverse and exciting, from Mario Kart to Zelda. This is a great console for everyone.

    Horrible packaging

    The item was in a very small box barely any bigger than the item itself. Also the box for the switch was damaged. Only good thing was that it arrived much sooner that the estimated arrival date.

    Should have gotten a gameboy

    This never should have been advertised as the new console. It's an over rated gameboy with controllers. There are no apps available and the games are cartraiges just like a gameboy and that's how it should habe been advertised.

    Should've saved my money!

    I knew I should've saved my money and immediately regretted buying this. Was lucky (????) enough to get one first day they came out without pre-ordering. Kids don't play it, since there's no games. I have no interest in playing Zelda. We have PS3 and PS4, kid already has a DS. There is nothing this system provides that we want to play. Doesn't look like there will be anything until the end of the year. I should've just waited, then let the bugs work themselves out and the system to get some games for it. Hasn't been turned on in 3 weeks and was disconnected yesterday so it won't be sitting out reminding me that I wasted $500 already.

    This thing is great!

    I've had this console for over 2 years, and my switch has aged greatly, and for a device that has been out for over 6 years its been a good run, although there have been some hiccups with joycon drift, it seems Nintendo now offers free repairs. Although it isn't as powerful as a newer xbox or even the xbox one or Playstation 4, the switch still offers a great selection of games, Nintendo's first party games are always great to play; games such as mario odyssey, breath of the wild, mario kart 8, legend of zelda tears of the kingdom, and even something like 1-2 switch are always fun and intuitive! As of 2023 I believe this is no better time to buy a Nintendo switch or even a Switch lite, with games such as Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Super Mario RPG coming out, and even Mario Kart 8 getting it's DLC updates. If you didn't know the Switch's support for accessories are great, with plenty of third party companies providing accessories like cases, controllers, grips, and even tacky ones like sword grips for your joycons. All in all this console is definitely well worth it and now is a great time to grab one.

    Glorified Game Boy

    I don’t think the Nintendo Switch is all that great. There are not a lot of games available that don’t involve shooting, etc. I think it is a glorified Game Boy.

    Lags. Slow processing games. Most games requires internet, which Nintendo only worked with wi-fi. May be good for children 8 and under. Bought for 12 yr old. Ended up returning with my warranty.

    The controller broke after 2 weeks. We returned it to Best Buy and they were great and took it back but they were sold out, so we could not get a replacement there.

    I believe they are all defective. Joy con will get stuck or move on its own without tapping any buttons. This is my 2nd unit. Get the protection plan

    I ordered game and the docking part of it that hooks up to tv is not working. I brought it back to bestbuy. Only had game a week. Best buy refuses to stand behind product and will not warranty what they sell. Say ls I'm with in time to return product but they have no idea when more will be in. Game works fine the docking system don't work. Best buy doesn't stand behind what they sell. Even though it says returnable they give you every excuse why they can't do anything

    The system is a great way to use personally and with the family. I love how you can take it with you, but also have access to use it with a television as well.

    Got nothing good to say about this i bought this for my son, just after 3 weeks the power wasn’t turning on for 2 day. I took it back to bustbuy to get a replacement because I bought a warranty the staff over Best Buy told me they can’t change it for me and that my only option is to send the game back to the manufactures to fix it. I strongly believe most of the games in the store are used and they selling it to us for a full price.

    2-4 weeks to repair with BB extended warranty?

    The boys enjoy the gaming system, and it is great for traveling. We bought the screen protector, case, and extended warranty to protect the investment. 14 months later it no longer sends the signal to the TV with either of our docks. I figured I would drop it off at my Best Buy, and they would have a tech look at it, or better yet replace with another switch (maybe refurb) since there is no physical damage. NOPE - 2-4 weeks "maybe" so they can send it out and have it looked at. Not cool. I need to stop buying these warranties..

    Stopped working less than 2 months after purchase. I brought it back to the store hoping that, after spending thousands of dollars over the years, the store might help me and offer me an exchange. Absolutely not. Congratulations on losing all of my future business over a 300 dollar system.
