Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you love games or gaming in general, this is the console for you. I love the switch, and would recommend everyone get it for fun family time. If you plan on playing mostly or solely in handheld mode, you should just get the lite, but if you rather have that one inch like i did just get this version. I have nothing bad to say, treat yourself, you deserve it! Please get a case, your switch may have an accident and you will end up with a broken broke a joy-con, a case would’ve kept them safe.

The switch has been great for family fun time and great for my wife since she got animal crossing and its super easy to navigate since shes not a big gamer

A great gaming console for having family and friends over at your home. One benefit I like about the Switch is that it is portable and convenient. You can hook it up to a TV using an HDMI cable and play on the screen or play it as a handheld device. The controllers can be split between 1-2 people. With other multiple colors, I believe the original red and blue color gives Nintendo it's name. Overall, great fun and helpful as I plan to play whenever I have time with friends and family.

This is a great gaming console/device. It is extremely portable, without sacrificing content or quality (unlike the DS, which is strictly handheld). My daughter is so excited about it, because she loves gaming all over the house, not mentioning the convenience for long road trips.

I really enjoy having this console, my whole family gets together to play Mario party and it is so much fun! Definitely recommend to everyone

Overall a great device it can connect to the T.V and the controllers can disconnect and you can take the Nintendo Switch anywhere you go.

Great game console for playing with friends and bringing on the go anywhere

I grew up playing Nintendo, and steered away from it... I like the convenience of taking the unit with you..ie”portable”... picture quality on both TV and handheld” can’t wait for super smash bros on this device.. have MC8, SF2, BM, &Pokemon Battle... no regrets again great quality

Ease of setting up, ease of use, price a little high, and hard to find any in stock. For over 6 months I could not find a switch game console, finally found a supply at Best Buy. Bought for wife, she loves it. Happy wife, Happy life.

Great system and very easy to get used to. Love it and cant get enough of it. Love the ability to use it in so many different configurations that can affect game play in different ways depending on game. Highly recommend if you are contemplating it.

Hard to review something you will never play, but my daughter loves it, and Best Buy has the best deal out there. Package came with the newer model Switch with the longer battery life and two games. Couldn’t find a better deal anywhere else. Thanks

This product is amazing for the family! This console is perfect to take it everywhere! It is easy to use. Recommended for kids 7+ But I think that Nintendo Wii was better than this console. You cannot navigate on the internet

I searched all over to get my hands one of these for my boys for Christmas. I ended up finding one about 45 mins away. It's great a great addition for game nights or kids just passing time. Well worth the purchase and drive!

Great gift for my grandson’s to take time out from studying. Numerous games that even my wife and daughter like to play from time to time. Awesome purchase!

I absolutely love this console, it’s so easy to play. Picture quality is so clear!

I have the other consoles and am an avid PC gamer. However, this console is the best bet for gaming with your family without having to build extra rigs or provide extra setups. Especially with younger children this console is the perfect fit.

got this for my sons birthday. He loves it. the fact that its small but can be connected to my big screen tv is very nice. He can play it on its own in the car or around the house etc OR on the big tv. options are always nice.

I bought this game player for my Grandson who is 7. He had no problems learning it and got started playing very quickly with very little instruction. He likes it. There seems to be plenty of not so violent games available to play on this machine.

The switch offered a variety of games the whole family can partake in. It’s great if you want to get engaged with your kids and do something fun. Definitely worth it while this whole Covid deal has everyone limited on things to do.

I have been a long time gamer and I currently own a Xbox X and a PS4 Pro and I really never thought about buying a Switch until recently. I found it more intriguing than the Wii but I wasn't sure it was for me and my typical gaming preferences. I figured if I wanted to play something on the go, or play for a quick few minutes, I would just use my iPad or phone. However, I soon got tired of most iPad/phone games being 'free' games with a ton of ads or having to pay micro-transactions to do anything. I much prefer just paying once upfront for a game and not be held back by not paying money. Also, very few of those games I found I enjoyed for any amount of time. So as I thought about it I started to think how nice it would be to have a console-like experience on the go or just something I could pick up to play for 10 minutes anywhere in the house. So after about a week or so of consideration, and reading a couple recent articles of why people love their Switch, I decided that it might be something that would fill the gaming 'gap' So I picked up a Switch and I have owned it for about 3-4 weeks now and I have enjoyed it. I have only used it as a portable and have not hooked it up to the large TV yet. Like I had envisioned it is great to sit on the couch and get in a few minutes of Zelda, or some other game, without going to the other TV and fire up one of the consoles. I look forward being able to bring it on the plane as well instead of having to play Candy Crush or some other lame game to waste time. So here are what I see being a few pluses and minuses: Pluses: +portability - it's best feature! +better games than what can be had on other portable devices +very quick start-up/load times +comes with the dock to play on the TV. Most companies (i.e. Apple or Microsoft) would probably have charged separately for it. +quality first party games (Zelda, Mario, etc) Minuses: - battery life is okay at about 2.5 - 3 hrs - need to buy another power supply if you don't want to always charge it in the dock. Otherwise you have to unplug the dock to bring the cable to charge it somewhere else. - need a screen protector and a carrying case - screen could be a tad higher resolution - charging port on the bottom is not a great design choice if you want to charge and play - Charging cable could be longer for charging while playing - Charging cable plug could have been smaller and with retractable prongs so it is easier to pack on the go - Kickstand when not playing as a handheld is flimsy. Why didn't they at least add a second one or put a wider one in the middle? So while there are more 'minuses' they are not deal breakers and are more observances/annoyances than anything. So overall the Switch is a great for those that are used to a high end gaming experience but want something portable. I will say though that if I had to choose 1 of the 3 consoles to play, all things equal, the Switch would be 3rd on the list. However, the Switch versus other portable options it would be 1st by a landslide.
