Customer Ratings & Reviews

The switch is a fun easy to use handheld. I’m so glad I made this purchase.

It’s a Nintendo system. Not much else to say. They always deliver!!

I bought this for my son but my wife and I found ourselves enjoying it just as much. The graphics run pretty smooth when your playing on the tv screen. The handheld mode is where this console shines the most, the screen is huge and yet it feels natural on your hands which is perfect for trips. I do wish they had more apps in the Nintendo store and I hope that will change now that you will have to pay for online play in 2018.

As a first time gamer I feel this is an investment. Games are expensive (usually at min $30). However, compared to other consoles, Nintendo is portable, playable on TV and have physical-hybrid games too.

I love the system its great for taking anywhere and for using it to play with family and friends.

Love it can’t put it down, I’m definitely buying my wife one!!

This is what the Wii U should have been. Nintendo has finally got it right and they did it well.

My son loves this system!! Graphics are terrific, price is reasonable, flexibility in ways to use the system, and very convenient for the many road trips we take for his ice hockey games. Hopeful to see more games produced that are attractive to teens in the future.

It is an awesome toy during covid-19. Able to stay home forever with it

i was able to snag this after wanting it for a while and it is worth it

This console is great on the go or for staying in! It is high quality.

The product works as advertised. It is truly a very nice handheld game platform. Plug it into a TV, though, and that's where the fun comes down a bit. Anything bigger than a 32" and it feels like one is playing on a five year old platform. However, most of Nintendo's games are geared to a party environment (Mario Kart, Bomberman, etc) so the fun aspect of playing with your friends in local co-op does away with the less than stellar graphics quality. On a side note, make sure your wallet is filled. Switch games are $60 a pop unless you can find a sale, and the additional controllers needed to play with friends locally are also expensive (though they come in pairs so one person uses the left one and another person uses the right one - but if you do that you better have really small hands, because the controllers used individually are for a 5 year old's hand size).

The switch is the best of both worlds , from playin on the t.v to taking it on the road handheld.

device is great, easy to handle controls, hand held or remote . graphics are amazing (with some games) nonetheless awesome. i wish that nintendowould come out wth more games, especially the old school NES ones for this device. Overall I'm very satistifed

I got this already having high expectations from reviews I'd seen before. The design is sleek, it's portable, and the screen is very clear. The only downside is that, like any other console, the base price doesn't include any games. Otherwise great buy!

I enjoy the Nintendo Switch and utilize it both as a handheld and home console almost equally. It is really cool to be able to take full size games like Zelda on the go, and then being able to play it on your TV when you get home. I use the Pro Controller whenever I play at home, and it feels good. Using the Joy-cons in the included Joy-con grip to make it like a normal controller feels odd and blocky, so I highly recommend getting a Pro Controller if you can afford it. Whenever I first got the system and played on the go, handheld mode did feel a little cramped because of how small the Joy-cons are and how the Joy-cons are flat on the back. I rectified this by purchasing PDP armor guards, which I also left a review for on this site. These add a little bulk to the Joy-cons and give you something to grab onto the backside. Zelda, Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle are all fun games. They all take advantage and have benefits of being able to played on the go and to be played as a traditional home console experience. Each game allows you to play in short bursts which serves the portability, or you can play them for hours at a time like you would another home console. The only issue I really have (and can be solved as time goes on) is that there aren't a whole lot of games play at this time. I am working my way through Kingdom Battle now, but in a week or two I will most likely be done with the game. I finished Zelda and I'm almost done with its DLC, and Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon 2 got old for me after a couple weeks. There are a lot of Indie titles available for download, but a lot of them are pricey. As time goes on, more and more games will be released for the Switch, and you will have a lot more options to choose from. At this time of writing, we are averaging about one good full game per month, which if you're as big of a gamer as I am, will not be enough if this is your sole console. If you also have a PS4 or Xbox One, the Switch is a nice complimentary system because you have those consoles to play your third-party games on (Call of Duty, Battlefield, GTA, etc). In all, this is a great system that lives up to what it's supposed to do, and as time goes on and more games are released, it will become more and more worth it. I would only buy it now if you really want to play Nintendo's exclusives, and you also have another console to play in between the Switch's game releases. This was my sole console for roughly a month, and I'm telling you, even as good as Zelda is, it can get old if it's the only game you're playing day after day.

Good job Nintendo you finally did it right a system that nails games that I actually want to play

Great system and the portability is so convenient and awesome

Love everything about this system. Glad I got it. Would purchase again.

Great for kids and adults. Good selection of family games are always made available by nintendo.
