Customer Ratings & Reviews

My 6 year old son loves the switch! I was spectacle at first worrying if he would understand how to use it but he picked it up so quickly! And as a family, we love to play together too! Thank you Best Buy!

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.

My son loves his Nintendo Switch. He takes it everywhere we go.

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.

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.

The Nintendo Switch is the ultimate console. Portable, powerful, great game selection. This thing has it all. I couldn't be happier.

We bought this as a Christmas present for our son...#1 thing on his list, so very excited to see his reaction on Christmas morning!

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.

Great tech Tetris 99 endless fun Good game selection Get one if you can Nintendo doesn’t disappoint

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.

Great product for my kids. They use it and love sharing the screen to play with each other. Would highly recommend for the family.

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 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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
