Customers are saying

Customers value the exceptional portability and overall performance of this console, which many users consider to be a top-tier handheld gaming experience. While the extensive game library and long-lasting battery life receive significant praise, some users find the controller size and Joy-Con design to be less than ideal. Additionally, while the system is generally well-regarded for its fun factor and competitive pricing, a few customers have expressed a desire for expanded storage options.

    I bought this earlier this year.... Waited too late & had a hard time finding one in stock. I felt like I found the holy grail when I was able to purchase this. During this pandemic, it has been a life saver. My anxiety is down by leaps and bounds. Looking for stress relief? Definitely try Animal Crossing New Horizons. I am very happy & grateful this purchase. I would definitely buy it again. It's worth every penny I paid for it!

    Before buying it for my 9 year old, I was a bit hesitate because of the remote control being small.However, when detached from the console, the remote has straps. Also, the battery life is amazingly long so when charged over night it's not constantly needing to be charged while away from home. But what I love the most is that it can be shared, its not just fun for one. If my sons brother wants to plays, it quickly turns into a gaming system that that be played by 2 or more, even my 5 year old can use the console.

    The system that the PS Vita should have been

    The Nintendo Switch is officially the best console I have owned since the PS2 days. Game selection is excellent and growing more by the week. I have three children and I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to playing video games. Portable mode remedies this by allowing me to play in quick spurts when I have time here and there. The ability to plug into a TV when I want to play a longer session is very convenient and just adds to the versatility of this system. Graphically, this system won't come close to Sony, Microsoft or a dedicated gaming PC, but that is not why you would purchase this system in the first place. I feel that games like Doom and Wolfenstein showcase that you don't need top notch specs to make an enjoyable gaming experience. If you need the best of the best as far as graphics are concerned, look elsewhere, this is not that system. However if you want the convenience of playing your games on the go, including AAA titles, this is the system to get. The Nintendo Switch is everything the PS Vita should have been and I look forward to seeing what titles make their way over next.

    It's a Switch, there isn't much to say; if you are reading this stop thinking about it and buy it. This is my second one (my wife has taken over the first one) and I am still just as impressed. The games are great and there is something for all ages; I'm in my late 20s and the next gem consoles don't interest me nearly as much as my Switch.

    The Nintendo Switch I think is one their best models. In terms of larger consoles- I wasn't terribly impressed with a system since the Gamecube. Wii was fine. But the motion control here is beyond compare. + the fact that the controls are smaller are easier on the hands. Far less clunky than those remotes. + the fact that it's portable and the screen retains such excellent game quality- a total game changer! Great title selection- very happy overall.

    I was reluctant to purchase a new gaming console. I was perfectly content with both a PS4 and a pc for playing video games. However I was able to test out the Switch and immediately wanted one. The Switch is a great change of pace and the lineup of games is already impressive. The ability to switch between docked play on your tv and handheld is such a great feature. I was reluctant when seeing the Joy-Con controllers but they feel great in your hands and work very well. Highly, highly recommend it.

    The Nintendo Switch is a blast to enjoy whether you're playing by yourself or with others. There is now a huge collection of games available that's honestly difficult to keep up with. I'm an international traveler and it's been so nice being able to take my games with me overseas and on the plane. I'd absolutely recommend the system to anyone that enjoys Nintendo games, travels a lot, or just wants to complement their other gaming consoles.

    We had a a very hard time finding a Nintendo Switch. I tried for a few weeks and finally saw it pop up online at Best Buy and was thrilled with the communication and easy pick up at the store. My daughter is 12 and really wanted to play animal crossing with friends. She loves it. We love the flexibility of connecting it to the TV and all of us playing games too. It's a great system and easy to use. I would definitely recommend it.

    I had the previous generation Switch console, and this one is definitely better in terms of battery life and heat. I play mostly splatoon 2, and with the old console, it would get quite warm, and get about 2-3 hours of battery life down to 0%. With this newer version of the console, the back is much cooler than previously, and after 2-3 hours, I still have roughly 30-40% left. It's the same switch otherwise, but, better battery life than the previous generation.

    Fantastic On the Go Gaming

    This console is a little pricey but it is worth every penny! I am able to seamlessly play on the go and then continue my gaming at home on my tv in 1 step. Battery has decent life, I am able to get a few hours of play on this without worrying about charging. I have been using this non stop for about a month and the only complaint that I have is that the joy cons are quite small when removed and playing games. If you have larger hands I would look into the joy con grips to make these larger and easier to grip.

    I expected to enjoy the console but not nearly to the extent I did. I was on the fence about the switch being worth it or not but it takes me right back to being a kid again when games where still fresh and new but also fits into my "at home a lot less" lifestyle now that I'm a bit older and have more responsibilities. It's just amazing to be able to sneak in 15-20 min here and there when I would otherwise just be putzing around on facebook etc out and about, easily the best console of this generation.

    I bought this for a gift to share between my two young boys. They love it. It can be carried or they can sit it on the console. You do have to buy some accessories to play some of the games, which can start adding up in cost, but this does keep them moving. We are a family that likes activities that keep us moving and this helps when we have a little down time on rainy days. They love the fact they can share it or if the other is gone or not in the mood for a game it can be played as a one player game as well.

    Great system to play by yourself or with friends and family! Has a nice amount of titles to choose from. Nice and portable to play on the go, but also nice to be able to dock and play on a big screen. Battery life is nice and also has lots of apps you can download onto it as well.

    Good way to game. Play MarioKart with daughter on tv w/ split controllers (she doesn't have to hold down gas), bring upstairs to play handheld. Only problem has been joy cons occasionally not turning on right away, and one error caused a system reboot. Minor glitches that hasn't caused much grief. Fun system.

    Pre-ordered this and haven't regretted it one bit. The screen is nice and bright and actually looks better than on my tv. Works as advertised, when its docked you can play on the big screen and pulling it out of the cradle smoothly reverts to the small screen. I recommend a controller for this, the Joy-cons are nice with the adapter but a regular controller would be better...........As for BestBuy, they had everything ready for me to pkup at the store and had a very positive experience as I always do with them.
