Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son absolutely loves this game! His PS3 has been left in the dust. The console’s dual playing ability (in home console and handheld portable console) really adds to the appeal. My son won’t put it down!

We bought this for our young boy and girl, both under 10. My wife and I also grew up playing Nintendo systems so we have an affinity towards some of the games to begin with. The variety of games was great and did not disappoint. We wound up getting great picks like Minecraft and Elder Scrolls and some great classic of course, like Mario and Crash. We have had a great time playing as a family, which was one of the selling points. The controller is responsive and I love that it is wireless. The graphics are excellent and the system plays with no jerkiness in gameplay. Overall this was a great purchase for a casual gaming family.

I am writing this review after over a year of owning the switch. My wife obtained this beauty for me on release night after sitting outside in line while I was at work overnight, bless her soul because it has been a blessing to me ever since. I had no intentions of buying the switch, not because I didn't want it but because I had just not looked into it as I was not impressed with the recent gaming systems released by Nintendo. I believe they really outdid themselves in this console design (I am extremely happy with the variety of games since release also, but this review is about the system). The system itself has met every expectation. Graphics are wonderful considering the more cartoon style games you see with Nintendo, having slight variations between the docked system and the handheld system. To be able to hold these platform titles in ones hand while out on the go, or just lounging is a major plus. The switch between docked to handheld is seamless. And the handheld system can easily last for a few hours on one charge, which is fantastic. The only issue I have had with the console was an issue with my left joy-con (the controller) disconnecting randomly. I attempted to trouble shoot this, and after some reading found out that this was an issue with some of the launch day joy-cons and Nintendo had determined the problem. The customer support was extremely helpful, and after a quick send off of my left joy-con it works better than new (since my new wasn't the greatest!). Nintendo out did itself on this one, and the game titles to go along with their spectacular system are vast. They've brought back new versions of some classics, revamped previous games, and brought new games into the mix; also, through the store, some Indie games are available making this system allow for great diversity.

This is the perfect console, it includes everything you need to get started, its great if you want to play with friends on the big screen or even take anywhere you want.

Purchased as a gift for my nephew for Christmas. Pleased that Best Buy had this item in stock at a location near his home. Other super retailers were sold out... Great that this system is portable as well!

It's so much fun and so useful. From handheld to screen seamlessly, really awesome. Great graphics, super fun games and the price is right. I've had all the Nintendo consoles and this is the best one ever.

Best Nintendo console ever, easy to carry and fun to play with

This is an unbelievable system which has great games and is portable where you can take it any where. The screen is big so you do not have to try really hard to view the screen to play like like the gameboy.

Perfect for the whole family. It's portable, light, fast, and great on battery. Good game selections. Very durable.

I love the flexibility of the console. It's portable, you can use the app on your phone to play along side of anyone using the joy-con. My grandchild loves it!

I really didn't want to buy a new game system but this one is great. I loved the Wii U and this is even better. I can't believe how thin it is! Nintendo always has family friendly games too which is great.

Love it! I think the most fun and best system out.

Honestly , this game system came out super good thanks so much Best Buy!

My job requires long periods of waiting with little to do. I upgraded from my 2ds and couldn't be happier with my purchase! I love being three button clicks away from Mario, Zelda, or Splatoon at any time.

This is the 3 this year really good for kids and adults

As always Nintendo is fun to play. and what better to take it everywhere you go. great entertainment for the kids in the car in long trips and when you are on vacation

Purchased mainly to play Breath of the wild, but also tried Super Mario Odyssey. The controls, the game pad, everything is amazing! Couldn’t be happier with the battery life, graphics, and overall quality.

Love this product it’s amazing !!!!! Really recommend it

I never thought I would buy 2 switches but I have. My son loves this. I also love this new version compared to my original mainly because of the battery.

The game has brought me back to my childhood memories. I always wanted a gameboy as a child but my parents couldn’t afford to get me one. As a child I would love to play the game at a friend house. Now that I have my owe I’m truly grateful for it .
