Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've never bought a game console through Best Buy before, but I'm very pleased with how quickly it was shipped directly to my home right around the Christmas rush. The console came in perfect condition and has been excellent so far. I travel frequently and find that the versatility of the Switch is ideal. It really is as easy as the launch trailer showed it to be.

First off I would say if you’ve been on the fence about buying this just do it. You won’t regret it! I love this switch. It has been great so far and I haven’t had any major issues. The only reason I did not give 5 stars was the dock is just a very light plastic which was a little disappointing but again not a big issue, then with the joy cons you get these clips that have hand straps on them which these are nice and allow you to push the little side buttons easier yet they are almost impossible to get off even when you put them on the right sides. I won’t ever use them again as I felt they might either not come off or I might break a joy con trying to get them off. Overall great system that I am so glad I was able to finally get my hand on!

This is a great investment for a family looking for more indoor interaction!

I have been waiting months for a restock and every time that I would check it would be sold out. Fortunately I lucked out and was finally able to purchase it as a surprise gift for my husband. Needless to say we’ve loved it and is so much fun for those days in especially with the whole quarantine going on.

I’m not 100 percent sold on that this is the best console but it’s convenient to use on the go for car rides and take to someone’s house to play with friends. I’ve had to have it fixed 2 times for charging issues and getting the games back if they are digital is kind of an annoyance if you forget your sign in info. The controllers lose signal quite a bit for us but it’s fun

Ninetendo has always been my favorite console. This console is awesome. I love the versatility of playing handheld and docking it to play on the big screen. The handheld screen is excellent, better than the WiiU. The games are not in a CD format, which at first I had mixed feelings about, then I thought about not having to worry about a scratched up game anymore.

The Switch is a super fun, versatile gaming system that allows for new, exciting games, as well as nostalgic games from the past.

This system is really great for my young daughters. Very easy to setup and they are off and running, dancing, rowing etc. Most importantly they are all having a blast together. We bought multiple controllers and a few of the more popular games like Mario kart, Dance party, and Mario Party. They absolutely love it!

I've had this system for 6 months and it is great. There are new games coming out all the time and some of my all time favorites: Zelda, Mario, Splatoon and others promising to come. The portability is just great when i'm on the go and when i'm home i just dock it and play on the big screen. This is truly a great innovation by Nintendo. Definitely would recommend it.

I originally got this for my kids. But I found out later they had a room based app with a bunch of old news and SNES games on it. I find myself playing it more often than the kids. The battery will last at least 4 hours. I have not tried testing it's full range of battery power. I will probably be buying another one.

Love Love Love my new Wii Switch! I bought and play Zelda-Tears of the Kingdom everyday! The controllers are easy to use, I recharge them on a separate charger I bought!

I'm not a big gamer. Haven't really played video games since the original Super NES to be honest. This is a nice welcome back into video games. Graphics are great (especially as a portable) and game play is smooth for the most part. Awesome as a portable while still good enough as a home console. If you're a hardcore gamer, this probably won't be your main console.

A great choice for anyone who grew up with a Nintendo gaming system, or anyone who wants to get into gaming. Being able to play on a handheld device or on a TV screen is a great innovation! Also, accessing the Nintendo Switch Online allows you to play lots of great SNES games for times when you're feeling nostalgic. Many new games can be purchased in hard copy or digital download, so yay for options there! I also love the options of using the Joy-cons or sliding them into a controller adapter---or using a separate adapter. This is hands down the best entertainment purchase I've made all year!!

Best decision ever, the kids love it and we also play together. We have some family game night hours on this Nintendo.

My son absolutely loves his Switch. It's a perfect console for a young child and I love how versatile it is -- both a handheld console as well as a console for the TV and the joystick(s) can be configured in multiple ways. Lots of great game choices and classics that I enjoyed growing up.

It is fun for son. Enjoys all games that he likes to play. He also enjoys watching the YouTube videos. I personally like that it is portable. He is able to take it anywhere. One thing I would suggest is adding Bluetooth. I had to purchase an adapter so he can use his wireless headphones.

Awesome switch! Bought to play the new game D2R. Runs perfect and I can be anywhere around the house. I even hook it up with an HDMI to the tv and bought a controlle for it. Works great!

The Nintendo Switch is an awesome flexible gaming system. I'm not a gamer by any stretch. However, I have only owned Nintendo systems and I continue trusting them. The battery life could be better, but I love the portability. Whether I use it on a TV screen or on the go. Highly recommend giving it a go!

During this Quarantine season, everything just went out of control. Switch has became a scarce to find in these places. Regardless to say, I regretted that I didn't get it on Thanksgiving/Christmas. But at least I got it at original price. Games are good. Zelda and Ring Fit have been keeping me busy.

I purchased the Nintendo Switch after a few friends and family members recommended me to. It was one of this best purchases I made. There’s so many games to play and even more to play with friends. It helps me feel connected to them especially during this pandemic. It also helps curb the boredom!
