Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased my first Switch system 2 years ago. My kids love playing on it, and with us always being on the go, my husband and I can now play video games again. We take the system just about everywhere we go; in hopes that we get a few min. to sit and play a game. I bought another switch system for my sister’s kids for Christmas this year. My one nephew is getting ready to have major surgery, and this will come in handy keeping the kids occupied as they travel back and forth to and from the hospital leading up to the surgery as well as allow my nephew to play video games while he stays in the hospital.

Excellent console. I took a long time to buy this console. I bought it for my son but ended up spending more time with it than him. It has access (paid) to old classic NES, SNES, N64 and sega games. I even bought the classic NES controllers. I highly recommend if you’re a 90’s kid

I started on a game boy pocket when I was 4, and I knew about the great home consoles, such as the PlayStation and the n64. But what blew me away was the fact that I could take games on the go and play them whenever I go...as long as the batteries lasted. I didn't care it was greyscale colors or that it didn't even come with a built in light; that made it more of a fun challenge riding in the car after sunset. Now the switch is combining what I loved or portable gaming with the power of current home gaming. And yes it doesn't output 4K. I don't care, cuz the 1080p on my tv AND even the 720p on its own screen still look great! Yes it only has 32 GB storage built in (25.9 after UI), but the cartridges are just like the game boy games and save them on tonthe catridge. Again the benefits of portable gaming. And yes we'll grow out the battery issue into the battle field here. 2.5-6 hours...I don't care! Because this gives me a good reminder when I run low on battery to let it charge and I can go do somwtrhing else instead of being staying inside he whole time. Nintendo encourages gaming with friends and even doing other things with friends as well. Plus I love the joy cons! Easy to use and switch around and the dock works well too. Kickstand really helps for gaming on the go and sharing as well. Kudos nintendo! And can't wait for the great announced games either.

I was not expecting much when I decided to try out the Nintendo Switch. In my mind Nintendo was trying something "new" like they have with their last few generations of consoles. I am glad to say that this time it really paid off. They did really well with the seemlessly switching between the bigscreen and the screen on the tablet for on the go play. The graphics are also very stunning from what I saw while playing Breathe of the Wild and 1 2 Switch. Which brings me to my next point, though the console does everything it says it does very well, the Joy-cons, don't worry they do everything they said they would do, are a little awkward to use. Even with the nice dock that you can use while playing on the big screen is a little awkward. Some of the buttons, specifically the + and - buttons are to close to other buttons or sticks and make them awkward to hit, or you hit the wrong button frequently. On top of that I don't know if many game developers will actually incorporate some of the gimicks of the Joy-Con. I mean the HD rumble sticks in the controllers were really cool when they were use in 1 2 Switch, but I can't really see many developers having a use for them, though this is just purely speculation. Finally the Joy-Cons have a single fault in my opinion. They must have an unobscured line of sight to the switch console or they will stop responding properly. There were various times where I had my feet up or my knee blocking the controllers direct path, because who doesn't like to get comfy while playing a game, and the joy-con stopped responding to my inputs or continues with my last input. This caused me to walk off of a few cliffs as well as die to a couple of moblins, but this also isn't the worst thing in the world either. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed my time playing the Switch, and like I said I really was not expecting the machine that I got to play.

Been thinking about getting this item since it first came out. This purchase was made for my son, but my wife and I play it as well. Great games and the fact that it can travel with you is a plus.

This is the best game to have a good time with your wife and kids

Easy to handle and play with. Lots of fun games at good prices.

The best benefit of the Nintendo Switch is you can play it on a TV or portable. $300 seems a fair price. Kids love them because you have a lot of Mario Bros. games.

This is an amazing system. The freedom to play on your living room TV, laying in bed, or out and about is amazing. Great games, especially if you are into retro gaming. Plus the Nintendo staples.

Got this for my daughter and I to play on. I used to love playing Wii sports and decided to give the nitendo sports a go and my family and I love to play it on family game nights. My daughter is 3 and we love to play mario party together

Great system, easy to use, long batter life, and just very enjoyable. Thought i wouldn't like the handheld version, but that's pretty much the only way i play.

There's just something about Nintendo systems. I'm a PC gamer, through and through, but every generation I find myself buying the latest Nintendo system for when I get bored of Dota 2. The Switch may be Nintendo's greatest console yet. I grew up in the heyday of the SNES/N64, and have grown up with Nintendo. However, this is the first time that the "full system" has combined with the "handheld" in such an excellent way. It's obvious that this is what Nintendo was trying for with the Wii U, but now they've actually executed it as only Nintendo can. I've taken my Switch on several trips (planes, trains, and automobiles). I really can't think of any complaints about this system.

If you’re on the fence about getting a Switch, don’t hesitate. I got one of these for my family and it’s been a blast. All the games we have are super fun and run smoothly. I personally enjoy the ability to dock and undock and take it with me wherever I go. I went for the newest model because I read it has improved battery. I’m looking forward to having this for a long time and expanding my collection.

Bought this gaming system as a Christmas gift for my girlfriend's son. It's the newer version with the extended battery life, and he loves it. Make sure to look up if you're purchasing the older or newer version of this system because it's not that obvious. Best Buy will offer Super Mario Bros Smash (a very popular game) as an incentive to buy the older version. But there's no writing on the box to say it's the older version. I believe the newer version is the one with the red box. Also, got this game system and a game delivered to my home. Delivery came on time with no issues. I loved it! Thanks!

Best Buy is the best place to buy stuff and enjoy buying from them

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

Got it for my kiddos… they love it so much definitely have to purchase a second one

Love it. Fun for the family game night. Especially playing Mario party

It is. user Friendly and very handy. Graphics are amazing. as well.

Nintendo makes fun. This condole is the best thing from them since the N64, 24 years ago. Buy one of these when you can. It's special. You won't regret it.
