Customer Ratings & Reviews

Childhood returns with the Nintendo switch. At home or on the go.

My Fiance bought me this a few years ago when it first was coming out and I have been using it off and on since. It is a little tough to find time to play when I'm also using a gaming PC with friends, however I have played a fair amount of games and for travel this is great! Unfortunately the joycons started to drift and I had to replace the sticks, but after that point I just swapped some other parts and customized the controllers as well.

Honestly just here to boost the ratings, amazing console!

very good console. I just wish it had more space and could record gameplays

The system is great. It what Nintendo is all about and they made a step up. The games will come and they will be great. The size of the system is nice. Its meant to be able to take with you. The price is on point with what you get. Set to be the best nintendo system

First off, this is not a system for you if you want the most powerful system out there (in which case you need to look at PC gaming and not consoles at all). However, Nintendo created a strong system that is going to play their games (and hopefully a lot of 3rd party games) in HD, 60fps which is a lot better than most PS4/XB1 first party games. If you love Nintendo game I would highly recommend this system once there is enough games that interest you on it. This system actually pulls off what Sony/Microsoft promised in that the "rest" mode actually pauses the game and the system boots up quicker than your television takes to turn on which is really amazing to be able to pick up and play that quick exactly where you left off. My only complaint at the moment is how hard it is to get (cannot find one for my brother at all), but that is not a negative on the system itself so I gave it the 5-stars it deserved.

I love the flexibility of the system. One minute I'm playing on my 4K TV, the next I'm playing it in another room in tablet mode. It boots up extremely fast and switches from TV to tablet mode seamlessly.

The Switch is not perfect, as you can discover from any "professional" review site out there, but the tradeoffs that were made are solid. The Switch does exactly what you want it to do: it plays console games on your TV and lets you take them with you.

The switch console itself is great, looks like they spent quite a lot of time designing it and supporting the software with plentiful updates. The user interface and menus are all designed for gaming. No useless features like video and music players and cameras. If you want those, you have a phone or mp3 player. This is a game system first and foremost. My only small complaints would be that it doesn't let you organize your games in certain spots, rather it just puts the most frequently played game up at the front of the list. Also the memory it comes with is very small, but you can add a micro sd card to expand. Not a huge issue as I only have 10 games so far with no plans to get more other than newer releases. My main issue is with the joycons. They were such a good idea, but the quality of the joysticks is awful and I'm forced to buy a new pair every few months when they break and start registering random movements even when centered. The core tablet though is great and I've never had any problems with the touchscreen and software freezing up. Even in hot summers, the fan kicks on hard and cools everything down. I always play in portable mode and everything is smooth. The display is not super 1080p quality but it is still very sharp and colorful. User interface is easy to use and so are the menus. Wifi speed could be better, but gets the job done eventually. I did have some issues with the back cover paint peeling off where I was holding it, but I was able to use some good quality automotive polish (mothers plastic polish for headlights) on the back to carefully remove the blemishes. As a side effect, I now have a very shiny semi gloss metallic back cover plate that looks custom but I did not have to remove any screws to change. The switch logo and other writing amazingly stayed intact and looks even better shiny. Just get a few microfiber cloths and some plastic polish and spend some time back there. It will come out really nice and smooth.

What's not to like? If you want to play Nintendo exclusive games this is literally what you have to have. Great selection of games, next gen graphics, and best of all - PORTABLE! You will not regret getting this. Just buy it already

Got this for $200 at Best Buy before the major price hike. Still works for the state no issues whatsoever even the original controller still work with heavy could use and adult use as well.

This is great my son plays it and absolutely loves it I’m so glad I bought it for him at such a reasonable price too with all the free on line games also offered

The best thing about the Switch is the variety of games you can play and the small, handheld arcade stick. All ages can enjoy playing because the stick isn't too big for anyone's hands.

Nintendo is not worried about having the most powerful system on the market. Because of this, that makes their new system's name, Switch, unique. A switch from standard consoles, you can play connected to your tv or switch it up and play like a handheld console. While just using their own library of games would work, it would be nice to see how 3rd party game developers will treat this system. I hope their support isn't the same as it was for the Wii U or another system several generations ago called the Dreamcast.

Love it stays charge as long as iam playing game play is good controllers easy to operate and I like the fact I can connect to my tv and play

This is so much fun to take everywhere! It really makes the time pass by quickly when I'm at events where there is waiting involved. It is super cool to be able to take off the joy cons to have a friend play with me when I'm out.

I travel a lot for work and this is exactly the console I've been looking for. Powerful yet small and with Zelda to keep me busy for hours on end... there are no more complaints from me about flying for work. Now I just need an extra battery pack

I have bought the switch twice from best buy online (once for my brother last year and a second time for my boyfriend this month) and its been delivered the day after i ordered it. No problems, would definately recommend

The pinnacle of everything Nintendo has been working on since the NES. Can it be improved upon? Of course. But it's the absolute best console they've made yet.

I've had my Switch now for two weeks and I can honestly say that its truly revolutionary to move the system from docking to the TV to taking it with you! It's the perfect system for a dad with two kids who want the TV all the time!
