Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch platform has some definite, but incremental improvements over the WiiU platform, but still hasn't surmounted the "two people playing at the same time on the same device" problem. Nevertheless, the portability is a big plus, and the ease of use of the interface is a welcome change. For those of us accustomed to the wider hand grip and button positioning of the WiiU controller, there's a definitely learning curve to the new controller, which is now an obligatory "Game Cube-type" handset (with the two detachable controllers in the holder).

Not gonna lie I was skeptical I would like the switch since I’m not a Nintendo guy. But it’s quickly become one of my favorite consoles

It’s really fun and as expected. I suggest buying a screen saver, case, memory card and grips for it because a grip on the joycons make it 10000000% better. There’s only enough storage for like two games. It’s really fun though

Excellent product. Easy installation. Live the fact you can play old games.

I haven't been this excited for a console since Nintendo 64. I find being able to switch from your tv to a portable to be revolutionary. The build of this console is great. You can drop it from the sky and it won't break. Can't wait to play Mario Odyssey on this system!

Purchased this console for my 7yr old daughter. The controller went out after 5-6 months of use. (Very common issue)Good thing I purchased the geek squad protection. Would also recommend a screen protector for these.

Its awesome, my 6 yr old son loves it. He can take it to go and play with others or play just himself . Move it from room to room and it will play up to four people. Internet connection you can play with others from around the world or find a friend. Fun for all ages...

Works right out of the box. No fussing around before jumping into the game I bought, just needed to make sure it was charged. Buy a micro-SD card for it too though because the 32GB of internal storage can fill up fast.

Bestbuy is always on top of it with the switch restocks! Happened to stumble upon it and the purchase was fast and easy. Switch was delivered really fast and is perfect! Absolutely love it, would recommend it to anyone.

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas and he was so excited, he has wanted one FOREVER he told me. He was playing it with his brother in a matter of minutes and they were having a blast. He says it works great and its alot of fun

Great for any age children above 4! My child loves it!

In my household we have every gaming system and the switch was one that i was hesitant about but now it's the system that's being used the most! The system is fun for all ages and most importantly your able to take it on the go! Without a doubt it's the console to have

Excellent product,perfect for the kids so they can have fun playing as a family

Every home needs a switch. Such a fun family gaming system. We have hours of family time, laughing and playing the switch. Get one!

Bought the switch as a Christmas present for my 9 yr old son. He's had it for about a week now and he really likes it. We took it with on a road trip and played Mariokart (our favorite game so far) on it in the car. It was so much fun. The controls are easy to figure out and use. It's similar to the WII U but a step up as you don't need to have a TV or console to play. You can connect it to a television and play on the big screen though too. Which brings me to my only 'complaint'-I wish the screen on the gamepad was bigger as you need to be kind of close to be able to see it when there are multiple players. Perhaps that will be the next upgrade, a larger screen. I gave the switch 5 stars because the whole family likes to play it, the games we've played so far have been great-Mariokart 8, Tetris, and Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle. We're all looking forward to Mario Odessy, which we will be acquiring very soon.

Purchased as a gift for my middle grandson, this game system has provided minutes of solitude for my daughter-in-law as the boys play or wait patiently for their turn. The system comes complete and the game selection is vast.

The Switch is a great gaming system for the whole family. The control system is one most people can jump into and the variety of games is vast. I also love being able to go from handheld gaming to the big screen so easily.

Although it is not as powerful as an x box or ps4, this is a great choice for kids because of the portability. There are more games coming out for this system in the future, but so far, my kids can't stop playing on it...maybe I need to review those parental controls.

I bought this system because I really wanted that new Zelda game. I also had some amount of faith in Nintendo that there would be enough games for it to be worth my while. For example, I'm a fan of the Warriors franchise and Fire Emblem Warriors excites me quite a bit. At the time of this review, there aren't really enough games unique to this system to justify it for the impatient buyer, but I am a patient man. In addition to the new Zelda game, I have digitally purchased Shovel Knight and I Am Setsuna. These are both amazing games, but they are available for other platforms as well. As a system, though, it works quite well! Looks great on the TV, and can be played on the go. I love that I can connect the controllers to the main screen when I need to focus up, but for casual playing I have the screen separated from the controllers. The kickstand built into the system feels very unreliable, and I bought a third-party stand for tabletop mode. I had never experienced the "left joycon desync" issue that other users have reported. When I researched it, I found that variances in the manufacturers of the components lead to some people having this issue, and that they would make sure future releases would not have this issue. Guess I got lucky. I'm still envious of the people who got the neon joycon edition. Didn't pre-order fast enough...

Talk about giving your kids a better version of your own childhood. This console does just that. My kids have loved it. It's easy enough for them to learn on their own yet it also helps them develop certain skills to figure things out.
