Customer Ratings & Reviews

After the sad fate of the Wii U (a good console in my eyes) not many people believe Nintendo would ever come back from such a fail, but Nintendo proved them all wrong. The Nintendo Switch is a find "hybrid console" meaning it can act as a home console or portable. I was surprised how small the console actually is and at the same time feels solid in your hands. The Nintendo Switch already has two Game of the Year contenders in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey so the console is a great buy for this holiday season. There are a few cons as in you need an Micro SD card for Storage but if you are reading this on Best Buy you do have affordable options so be sure to pick a a 128 GB one

Love this console so much!!! It’s great to play with friends and family and the different ways to play as well as the ability to put it on the Tab is awesome.

This console is great and compact. The graphics are a definite improvement but still behind the PS and XBOX (but you aren’t buying this for the graphic quality). All of the games are awesome and look great. Once a larger library of games is available, it will make this system even better. The controllers work well right out of the box (didn’t need a charge). The only issue is having to charge the controllers. It does not come with a charge ability unless it is plugged into the console which then requires it to be plugged into the dock to play games. There is only the one power cord to use if you take it out to play on the go. I definitely recommend buying the chargeable controller when you buy the switch.

This is possibly my all time favorite video game system/console I’ve ever owned! So fun. Being able to play handheld, on the tv, and table top mode is so cool. Fun for all ages!

best gift for my daughter! she uses it all the time for trips. battery lasts

As of this writing, 12/15/17, there are not many game options. They have a few good games at launch, like zelda and Mario, but are missing a variety of 3rd party games. While this is no suprise, as it never is with Nintendo, it is more noticible since the games we got are rereleases that have been out for some time. Hopefully the line up will get more inclusive with time. Beyond the games, the hardware is great. The controller is a large step up from the wiiu gamepad despite being similar in design. Since the controllers charge while the machine is docked, we have had no issues with needing to stop playing to charge. We seem to get about 3 to 4 hours from the tablet portion when it is off the dock.

Bought this as an entry level system for my grandson. He loves the ability to play on both the tv and on the console itself. Great gaming system!

I’ve had years of fun playing this game system. Worth every penny!

great. we don’t really use the black thing but it’s still good.

My daughter loves it! Sturdy device & larger screen than imagined! Works great with smart tv & it very portable as well- new switch offers longer battery life - great product

Very Portable you can take it everywhere you go and most of all it’s suitable for people and children of all ages! You can even have it hooked up to a T.V for everyone to enjoy!! Some of the things you need to look out for is making sure you take good care of the joy cons mainly to avoid your controller from “Drifting” or your character/cursor moves with you touching the controller, it’s also recommended to buy an SD cars Incase you need more storage! The Switch is a console I highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a console that is fresh, new, exciting and most of all fun for the whole family!

Love my switch bought over 1000$ worth of games and played them all it runs like a charm. Love the dock and portable compact all together you won’t regret this purchase!

I have PS2 and Wii. I have played on PS3 and Xbox at friends' places. But Switch is so different! Small console, very portable, easy to set up. Very few wires. Sleek controllers. Superb battery life.

I love the switch! I love how it can be mobile and can connect to the tv. I do wish the controllers were bigger but I’ll have to get the full size controllers.

I really do enjoy the switch! I like how you can go anywhere with it and play! So different from wii u! Also love the games that have different characters then the wii u!

The Nintendo switch is by far a really innovated and really great console to own, whether your an "on the go'' type of gamer or a "sit in front of the tv on a comfy couch" type of gamer or both. The battery life and the processor has been improved with the new version of the switch and there are a lot of great titles that have been released and are still being released that will catch anyone's attention. side note I actually own an xbox one X and a ps4 Pro and I have to say..I haven't really used them as much since building my gaming pc and buying the switch except for only some jrpg's like persona 5 on the ps4.

The system itself is really cool. It was super simple to setup. I like that you can have different profiles on it. To play a multiplayer game like Mario Party you don’t even have to buy another controller because the controller that comes with it turns into two controllers!! I really like the fact that you can hold it and play it and then set it into the doc and it instantly goes on the TVs and same when you take it out of the doc. The docking station is smaller and lighter than I expected. The only downside is the cost of buying extra joy cons and that it doesn’t have much memory built in.

Switched up from the switch lite back to the normal switch. Why? Screen size! I missed the screen size immensely playing my fav game of nba 2k! You dont realize the little extra you get vs the lite makes a world of diffrence. Screen looks amazing runs flawlessly and comfortable in your hands. Seemlessly connects to wifi and now a uodate makes it bluetooth compatible with wireless headphones. Amazing games to play on this switch and i use it 90% handheld but nice have option to put on tv. Battery life on this is outstanding way better then first model and then the lite. I can actually play graphic heavy games and not feel like i need to have a cord by me after a few hours. Why didnt i just wait for oled model? 1. Most oled screens ive ever had got burn in. 2. This "old" model has the better larger battery that the new oled model will have but that fancy screen will def drain it faster so your essentially going to swap a fancier screen thats only better in handheld mode for worse battery life. 3. I didnt want a handheld to be partially white as itll easily show wear and dirt. 4. Its even more expensive by 50 bucks and didnt see the value in paying almost 400 bucks and the fact you prob wont get hands on one anytime soon unless you preordered one.

The Nintendo Switch is popular for good reason. It is fun to use and easy - even for beginners. There is a good selection of titles, but I would like to see even more!

Not going to lie I’ve owned Nintendo systems in the past and I was expecting something similar to the old UI but it’s not really similar at all and very different but similar when it comes to gaming. They definitely made it more kid friendly I guess you could say and parental controlled but it’s still pretty good none the less. Audio quality would be average but could definitely be better. But I love being able to take this on road trips and being able to play together with others anywhere and everywhere. It’s not heavy doesn’t heat up because there’s a fan. The battery life is average.
