Customer Ratings & Reviews

Our family loves the Switch and the possibility of having fun playing games together as a family of 4!

Happy owner of a Switch finally. Great for families that want to be able to play on a large screen in the living room also. Can even download vintage Nintendo games.

Nintendo Switch is on "someone's" Christmas list. Started looking in area stores (low inventory and gone quickly) and online where, on one very popular website, prices were (and are) ridiculously inflated. Found a Nintendo Switch on Best Buy's website and had console shipped to the store for pick up. In store customer rep. was awesome not only with this purchase but with game suggestions and help in general. Other Switch players suggested purchasing an extended warranty, which I added later. Overall, I'm happy with the price, and with Best Buy- item priced right and product available when promised.

The games are engaging and intuitive, fun to play on the television or using the hand-held device. I understand why this was so difficult to obtain early in the lock down

A great gaming system that work as well connected to your tv as gaming on the go. The batter while on the go last for a long time and easily dock the system to switch to your TV.

You can play it on your TV or on the go! I love that you can play this console anywhere. It has great local multiplayer unlike the Xbox and PlayStation. I would definitely recommend this console to a friend!

Seriously such a good investment. Not only for fun but for your health too! I had no idea how much of a workout we would get playing games on this system. Winters can be rough not getting outside enough and this makes those days so much better. Honestly had no idea how much use we are getting out of it. The game selections are great for all ages.

We bought this for our children and they absolutely love it. We are mario fans and being able to continue that with the Switch is great. They have a good game selection, the graphics are great, and it's a much better portable gaming device than a tablet. My only concerns with it are that I wish it came with 2 remotes (the joy con remotes are expensive) and that when plugging it into the tv it comes out of the docking station too easy (kids sometimes accidentally knock it over).

Great product - It was the perfect gift for my daughter. she is able to take it with her anywhere and gets lots of entertainment from it. - Best buy also had it ready for pick up super quick. so I could get it for her birthday on time!

Nintendo Switch has brought so much fun and joy into our house. It’s also incredibly nostalgic for me to play the new Mario games and pass on a love of video games to my kids. The console itself is great, small and easy to use. I love that we can also take it on the road for long drives or just because. Games are a breeze to download and store. 10/10 best purchase!

Obsessed with this thing. It sucks that the games are all like $60 though so just be ready for that. Also the Nintendo membership is monthly and then you can play your friends online. I didn’t know that before hand. Other than that, it’s amazing! Switching from the tv to handheld is great + you can take the joycons off while handheld if you want to play it at your desk or something. 10/10! Also I had to buy a SD card for this but they r kinda cheap.

The swicth is such a gem. The nintendo exclusive games are honestly underrated by so many and the hybrid design is incredibly ingenuitive. I ended up using the handheld mode almost as much as the docked mode, while still in my own home. Highly recommend. (It is heavily roumered Nintendo will be releasing an "upgraded" version of the switch early 2021. So if you are on the fence it might be worth it to wait) This was out of stock everywhere for so long this year. I checked multiple retailers often to try and get one for months. I was finally able to order one from Best Buy so I was very pleased.

My kids love playing multiplayer games with the family.

The Nintendo Switch is amazing. The multiple different playstyles makes for a fun change. There’s a great selection of games available on the eShop, and console games like Super Mario Odyssey are awesome.

I bought this console because how easy it is to “switch” from TV playing to mobile playing. The battery lasts long enough for a good gaming session and overall everything about this console is as expected.

Bought this for my daughter after she made the honor row for the second straight time this year. She loves it, best part it keeps her entertained on rides to the grocery store.

The Switch is quite a technological marvel with its ability to be played anywhere like Nintendo's past handhelds yet contain the power better than even the previous Wii U console. The system storage is not the best for downloads, but the games already available to buy such as Splatoon 2 and Fire Emblem Warriors are fun to play with the Joy-Con controllers used together. Even if online gameplay will soon cost money, it's still much cheaper at $20 a year (less than $2 a month, about the price of a candy bar) than Sony and Microsoft's online services at about $60 a year.

tldr; Get this, don't get the Switch Lite. It is a great system for almost any type of gamer. I've been a console gamer since 1984 when my parents bought me an Atari 2600. Most of my life I was a die-hard Nintendo fan. While my gaming preferences have evolved over the last 10-15 years (PlayStation fanboy nowadays) I've still owned every Nintendo (and Xbox) system that's been released, even if they were primarily played by my boys. This Switch however is MINE (my son has had one since launch.) I love that it is a cross between a portable and a console. I love that I can play it on the go, or during downtime in another game (ie; waiting for a party to fill in Final Fantasy XIV.) 32GB is NOTHING so make sure to pick up a micro SD card right away (still mad that Sony mad the Vita memory cards proprietary) And if you're like me and prefer to buy digital games vs physical, be warned that it will need a quick internet check each time you start a game (which tbh, there may be a workaround that I haven't looked into yet) which was a bummer when I was planning on playing some Smash Bros. on a recent flight but couldn't... If you are trying to decide between this and the Switch Lite - Get this model! The flexibility of being able to detach the Joy-Cons and to play it seamlessly on your TV is WELL worth the extra cost.

I bought the console as a Christmas present for my son. We have two Wii and Nintendo DS that we have been using for years. The Nintendo Switch can be used like the DS, like a tablet or like the Wii. The controllers are like wiimote, they are aware of your movements, vibrate and make sounds but are way smaller. The "controllers" can be used like one big controller or two independent wiimote... to convert the former to the later it is like playing lego, you dissemble them. Every time, I hope I do not break them in the process because they are not cheap to replace. I wish that there was some form of backward compatibility but no. The wii games format is DVD, the DS some big cards and Switch another format... no way to reuse games from one console to another. We have bought three games and they are fun to play. Resolution is better and more playable. Versatile is what I liked, I can play on the TV or in the car. Not super impressed with the games yet... I found the console expensive when not on sale... Also be aware that if you have more than one kid, they might want each of them their own console. It is a good console for family games. Nintendo has a lot of options for kids and preteens. I will continue to use the WIi but I will not buy wii games equivalent on the switch. If you have a Wii and DS, try it before buying it. If you do not have a wii, buy it...

I have loved every second of owning this console. I got it during the start of the pandemic and battled with thousands to get one and finally did after almost 2 weeks of trying with zoolerts and other stock alert sites... Plus refreshing the page frequently on multiple stores with electronic departments. Anyways I don't regret a moment of buying this. Very worthwhile especially at a time like now where I need to be home and focus on something else other than the world. My only regret is not preordering the ACNH special edition switch before it became impossible to get one with people inflating the prices for gain...
