Customer Ratings & Reviews

It is fun to play with friends! I enjoy Mario kart it brings me back to when I was younger.

Highly recommend. My 6 year old loves it. We had to buy more memory but it keeps charge and has parental control

So much fun! We bought this for our daughter for her birthday.

The Nintendo Switch was the perfect gift. It lets two players play. Enjoying Mario games and Harry Potter Lego. So many games available to add to your collection.

The switch is a nice return to form from Nintendo . The Wii was their last console that gave them a great deal of success but they seem to have learned from some missteps from the Wii U and come back with a great console here. Before getting into my review I'll just mention that Nintendo does their own thing as compared to Sony and Microsoft. So maybe want to think about what you are looking for in a console and seeing if the switch ticks those boxes before spending. I'll start with the actual hardware. The console itself feels well made. It doesn't feel like cheap plastic. The screen is a very nice quality with nice colors, sharpness and brightness. Since the screen is 6 inches it can almost feel like you're playing games on a smaller portable tv than a typical portable console. The joy-cons have a nice feel to them. They don't feel fragile while in hand. I pretty much only use them connected to the switch. I haven't even tried using them in the grip holder. While detached from the screen they are rather small for my hands. The grips help add some size to them but it does not totally mitigate the small feel. I am a six foot tall guy with larger hands though so this is my experience. The dock is well a dock. I have heard that some people have experienced screen scratching with their docks but I have not. I don't use a screen protector on my switch either. I wish there was a power button on the dock itself but its not that big of a deal. There seems to be an issue with some TVs and HDMI switchers where the switch will have some HDMI activity while sleeping that can cause you're tv to switch inputs or give you a message that something has been connected. I use as a receiver so haven't experienced this thankfully. Samsung appears to be releasing a firmware update for some of their TVs which will fix this issue but it may be on the Switch side so don't know if Nintendo will eventually do something about it. I have my dock in a TV stand so personally I wish they have placed a USB port on the front to charge my pro controller but other than that the dock is fine. Software wise the Switch is pretty basic. It doesn't have Apps yet so if that is important to you may want to wait. Nintendo has said they will have stuff like Netflix in the future but who knows when. I buy physical copies of games so can't really speak much about the e-shop, it looks like it gets the job done but I don't use it so don't take my word for it. Downloads seem to be quick. Updates for the console and games are pretty speedy. I am using 5ghz AC wireless though. I have heard people say the 2.4ghz connection can have issues. Battery life is pretty decent when you consider you're getting a home console experience on the go. You can play Zelda for 2 - 2.5 hours on the go with brightness around half. This has been my experience with my usage. Sleep mode seems to be quite good. I have had it off the dock for a couple of days and battery doesn't move so I wouldn't worry about not having it docked and charging all the time. Game wise, it's a console launch so it's not packed but Zelda and Mario Kart are stellar. I have played 1,2 switch and Snipper Clips at a friend's home and they were fun for playing with a couple of people. Launching with a new Zelda, an upgraded Mario Kart port and a new Mario in the first year is good sign to me. Hopefully they keep the releases well paced out. Being able to take the switch out of the dock and play on the go is actually pretty cool. Even if you're home you can pop it out and lay on a couch game. I thought I would pretty much have it docked all the time but find myself playing portably a decent amount. I take it to work and play when I have some down time which is pretty great. Overall I like what I see here from Nintendo. The console doesn't feel cheap. They have a decent lineup in year one, hopefully they can keep this going.

They finally came back in stock! A bit confusing to set up as is most Nintendo merchandise, once you get used to it is fun! The controllers are a bit small, they also are not very comfortable. Will be buying the bigger controller separately for sure.

An awesome hand held video console. Nintendo has always produced great products and best buy for me has always been the place to buy them!

I purchase this for my godkids and this is all they play when they come home from school.

This was a gift for my child. Item delivered was the exact item rcvd and was fully operational when rcvd. I have no complaints with this game console as it met my objective of putting a smile on my child’s face and a warm spot in my heart.

Loads of fun, easy to set up. Will be playing this for years to come

Portable and works on TV...what more can you ask for. Nintendo did a great job with the Switch. Games are terrific as well. You play portable for hours then dock it (as it charges) and play on TV, so technically you have endless hours of play time. I love this console, best gaming purchase I've ever made.

Very fun ! I bought it for my mom on mother’s day and she loves it !

Nintendo has never been able to keep up with the modern consoles. However, the fun factor of the Switch makes it stand out among the rest. The games are incredibly fun to play. The controllers take a bit to get comfortable, but there are many ways to customize.

Nintendo did it again. My whome family loves the nintendo consoles and games, and the switch is no exception! Easy to set up and lots of fun to play. We love that there are games that you can play with 4 players on the same screen. Fun for everyone at the same time!

Bought this Nintendo-Switch 32GB Console for a Christmas Gift. There are so many games to play. And the size makes it great for parents with children on long trips. It has lots of favorite nintendo games that kids of all ages love to play

What can I say? Nintendo does it again and leaves me absolutely stunned and has allowed me to have fun again. With console graphics on the go, it follows me almost everywhere I go. Going all digital and just more than happy with the product.

I’ve been waiting months to get the Switch. Just happened to be in stock and I got lucky. So far I only have one game and I love it. I love the fact that there are multiple ways you can play it- whether you want to connect it to your tv or play mobile.

Keeps the kids distracted , able to take with me anywhere i go, cheap compared to orher things ,

The console itself is perfect for users who want the flexibility of being able to play their games in any setting. It’s not uncommon for me to be playing a game in one room on a tv, to then pick it up and play it in handheld mode in bed. It’s slim enough to slip in my purse for long waits (DMV, holidays, car trips, flights). The fact that one set of controllers can easily be separated into two for quick multiplayer options is also wonderful. Delightfully innovative and truly a lot of potential. The game library is constantly expanding and the indie market is huge! You don’t have to rely on the big titles to give you a great play experience. I would recommend for any age range.

This was very easy to hook up to the TV for family or group play, but also works well as a handheld gaming platform. The controls are more robust than I was expecting, and the games we have purchased so far are classic "ageless Nintendo" where everyone can have fun.
