Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] I love my Nintendo switch . I like how it can be handheld but get this u can stand the screen up and play or hold it like a handheld. I like how it comes ah a controller piece to make it into a controller . I love how it connects to the TV and we all can play and I I am love how my family and friend s can also connect to me and play.

The battery life last long! Amazing on the go as well as great game system when docked as well. Compared to the last model for the switch this model is highly recommended.

I started on a game boy pocket when I was 4, and I knew about the great home consoles, such as the PlayStation and the n64. But what blew me away was the fact that I could take games on the go and play them whenever I go...as long as the batteries lasted. I didn't care it was greyscale colors or that it didn't even come with a built in light; that made it more of a fun challenge riding in the car after sunset. Now the switch is combining what I loved or portable gaming with the power of current home gaming. And yes it doesn't output 4K. I don't care, cuz the 1080p on my tv AND even the 720p on its own screen still look great! Yes it only has 32 GB storage built in (25.9 after UI), but the cartridges are just like the game boy games and save them on tonthe catridge. Again the benefits of portable gaming. And yes we'll grow out the battery issue into the battle field here. 2.5-6 hours...I don't care! Because this gives me a good reminder when I run low on battery to let it charge and I can go do somwtrhing else instead of being staying inside he whole time. Nintendo encourages gaming with friends and even doing other things with friends as well. Plus I love the joy cons! Easy to use and switch around and the dock works well too. Kickstand really helps for gaming on the go and sharing as well. Kudos nintendo! And can't wait for the great announced games either.

I was not expecting much when I decided to try out the Nintendo Switch. In my mind Nintendo was trying something "new" like they have with their last few generations of consoles. I am glad to say that this time it really paid off. They did really well with the seemlessly switching between the bigscreen and the screen on the tablet for on the go play. The graphics are also very stunning from what I saw while playing Breathe of the Wild and 1 2 Switch. Which brings me to my next point, though the console does everything it says it does very well, the Joy-cons, don't worry they do everything they said they would do, are a little awkward to use. Even with the nice dock that you can use while playing on the big screen is a little awkward. Some of the buttons, specifically the + and - buttons are to close to other buttons or sticks and make them awkward to hit, or you hit the wrong button frequently. On top of that I don't know if many game developers will actually incorporate some of the gimicks of the Joy-Con. I mean the HD rumble sticks in the controllers were really cool when they were use in 1 2 Switch, but I can't really see many developers having a use for them, though this is just purely speculation. Finally the Joy-Cons have a single fault in my opinion. They must have an unobscured line of sight to the switch console or they will stop responding properly. There were various times where I had my feet up or my knee blocking the controllers direct path, because who doesn't like to get comfy while playing a game, and the joy-con stopped responding to my inputs or continues with my last input. This caused me to walk off of a few cliffs as well as die to a couple of moblins, but this also isn't the worst thing in the world either. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing the Switch, and like I said I really was not expecting the machine that I got to play.

Picked this up and a couple of kid/family games. They device is great—super easy to setup and transfers back and forth between TV play and handheld seamlessly.

If you got the 2nd iteration of the console (indicated by the background color on the box is completely red), you can pretty much play this for 5-6 hours as opposed to 2-3. Totally worth it, even if you have the first generation model that has its own secret perks if it's a launch model. Personally, I'd still choose this over the Lite model since you get a lot of value for $300. A set of Joycons are $80, and the dock itself is $60, and you're getting all of these right out of the box. Plus you still have the option of playing your games on the big screen. The only tradeoff is the console's LCD isn't as good as the Lite's.

Excellent game system, and much better than the "lite" version. This item is a must have if you enjoy gaming and Nintendo. We are currently playing Hogwarts legacy. I used to play Neverwinter Nights on PC and I was pleasantly surprised to find it for switch as well as a few older computer games that they have adapted to this console.

Love the switch very fun. We love to play the mario carts and Mario brothers games.

A great product that offers so much entertainment and convenience for the price! The selection of games available for this console are great, and many are wholesome enough to enjoy as a family together. Who doesn't like playing a character like Mario one minute then doing Zumba the next? The upcoming games also look promising. I like this product a lot!

If youre considering buying it..buy it If you love Mario games..buy it If you want to game on the go or in front of a big screen..buy it If you have children like ages 4+..buy it If you need some ideas for family fun..buy it If you need to work out more often..buy it If youre tired of playing with toys but still love spending quality time with your children...uh..BUY IT

Love the switch! Can play my Zelda games with ease

LOVE the switch. It reminds me of the Gamecube console. Bringing me back to my youth. The remotes are obviously very small when holding them individually. It's a little uncomfortable but still works. I am also a little bummed that after a few years it does not have access to Netflix nor does it have disney+. Hoping that'll change in the near future.

The ability to swap between a portable and a docked mode is something every console should have. While it's not as powerful as an Xbox or PlayStation, the Switch is still a very capable system. My only nitpick is the tiny joy-cons, but there are Nintendo and aftermarket controllers available that make up for this minor (IMO) shortcoming. I am completely satisfied with my Switch and have no reservations suggesting it to anyone looking for a new console. (Keep in mind, there's a new model on the horizon - you might wanna hold off and see what that one's got in store!)

Been thinking about getting this item since it first came out. This purchase was made for my son, but my wife and I play it as well. Great games and the fact that it can travel with you is a plus.

This has been something on my list to buy for a few years now and i finally had the extra money to grab one. I have been playing it like crazy! I already have 30+ hours on super smash bros ultimate. The games that switch offers always will hold a special place in my heart. And to finally have one of my own has been wonderful.

Great gaming product that keeps you entertained for fours at a time, high quality performance and graphics, long battery life and easy and sleek enough for easy handling

I own all the consoles, but this one ended up being way better than I expected. The games are great, and the portability makes it something I wish the PSP was.

Great game console! No issues! Easy set up! Great to entertain guests!

This is an amazing system. The freedom to play on your living room TV, laying in bed, or out and about is amazing. Great games, especially if you are into retro gaming. Plus the Nintendo staples.

There's just something about Nintendo systems. I'm a PC gamer, through and through, but every generation I find myself buying the latest Nintendo system for when I get bored of Dota 2. The Switch may be Nintendo's greatest console yet. I grew up in the heyday of the SNES/N64, and have grown up with Nintendo. However, this is the first time that the "full system" has combined with the "handheld" in such an excellent way. It's obvious that this is what Nintendo was trying for with the Wii U, but now they've actually executed it as only Nintendo can. I've taken my Switch on several trips (planes, trains, and automobiles). I really can't think of any complaints about this system.
