Customer Ratings & Reviews

I can't speak to reviewing the switch as it was purchased for my twin boys. For most folks the Switch reputation speaks for itself any way. My review is more about Best Buy and the fact that they somehow managed to have a couple switches when they were sold out every where else. I am also pleased to see that the price was not jacked up due to limited supply and great demand. The item was shipped promptly and made it safely. Thanks Best Buy!

I absolutely love this console! It’s super easy to use and I love that it is a handheld/home console hybrid!

I was skeptical at first due to the high upfront cost and sparse library, but after just two years on the market I finally started seeing a lot of games that I really wanted to play from coming to this system. Now that I'm more familiar with it, I'm finding a lot more value to it than I originally thought. The portability factor is a huge plus and I think from now on, I'm going to more often than not prefer the Switch version for any multi-platform releases.

Awesome console. Portability is a big plus. Powerful enough to run decent ports of Doom, Skyrim. Near perfect first party games.

Fun console that can be played on the go with good battery life but even better docked and with friends.

What can I say, the switch has rave reviews across the board. Obviously it doesn't have the power of the PS4 or XBO, but what it can do is offer a great gaming experience at home or on the go. Our household also has a gray model, and I like the neon controllers better but prefer the gray ones out in public. Build quality and battery life are great.

Nintendo has managed to redefine the home gaming console yet again. I have barely touched our Wii U system, no because there is anything wrong with it, just nothing compelling enough to pull me away from gaming on my PC. So when I bought the Switch for the purpose of playing the latest Legend of Zelda game I didn’t expect much more. Well… it exceeded my expectations and keeps my attention while all my other new games collect dust. It is surprisingly small but powerful enough for graphic rich gaming. Possibly one of the best features is that it fills two device categories for the price of one. It works great as a console connected to your TV and also is great to take on the road to play as a handheld device or hook up at a friend’s house for party games or to occupy the kids for a while. I recommend getting the pro controller too, it is just more natural feeling for some games and there should be some cheaper aftermarket ones coming out soon if you don’t want to spend $69 on a controller. The price of the system itself though makes it the least expensive console on the market, and only slightly more expensive than most handheld games while filling both roles. I highly recommend the Nintendo Switch!

Such a surprisingly powerful console. I was born in 1979. How far we have come with handhelds. I have yet to notice a problem w it handling Skyrim. Typically the game has issues way past the point Im at though. A wide variety of games to choose from. Colors/designs. Accessories. Holds a charge well. Im pleased.

I have owned numerous gaming systems by Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation, Sega......about all of them. This by far has quickly become my favorite. The quality is better than I've seen in a long time and the graphics are amazing. Not to mention the versatility of being able to use it as a personal handheld, to playing on my 65in tv without sacrificing the graphics, quality or your position in the game is unbelievable. Playing the multi-player games on this portable device is something I am looking forward to!

This game was bought by my 11 year old son for him. He sold all his skylanders and Disney Infinity figures. In addition to what he earns for taking out the garbage. He does not regret, he is very happy with his purchase. He likes the level of speed and sharpness and above all the portability of the console. It is enjoying a lot on the way and in the house playing Super Mario Oddisey, Zelda and Sonic Forces. It is definitely the most recommended console for being portable and for use in the game room.

Battery life is great. Easy to use. Online is fun and buying games online is easy and quick to download.

Great videogame, I love it so much, I can't wait to but more games.

I've been wanting a Switch for some time, and this was a great deal at Best Buy. The Switch came with Starlink with StarFox. Everything is as described. As someone who often finds it easier to play mobile games on my phone than games on my TV (I also own PlayStation consoles) I love having the option and pretty much only play the handheld Switch now, usually with something else on TV in the background, if I'm home. So many great games, so little time!

Excellent purchase. Grandsons saved up their birthday money to purchase this. They love it.

Fun and made a great birthday present. Sauron it is before the walls of Minaa Truth, the doom of our time will be decided. Now is the hour, riders of Rohan, oaths you have taken, now fufill them all, to Lord and land

Excelent item love it best consule for kids having fun with it

Nice product, really easy to use and baterie last long.

I've never had a hand held version of a game system. I've tried playing it as a hand held game and I have no complaints. The screen is clear and I have no trouble handling the game but, for the type of games I play I like the big TV. I have no problems with the system at all. I know you can download games directly to the system but, I'm old school and I need the actual cartridge which now is not much bigger than a SIM card. The only thing is that the controller when playing on the TV feels a bit bulky.

Love the portability and huge selection of fun games to play. Definitely a great investment!

Perfect system to play at home or on the go! Even better to have when you’re camping and it’s raining. I have always loved Nintendo. Make sure you buy an SD card so you can play your favorite games.
