Customer Ratings & Reviews

Like most new console releases, the Nintendo Switch has its fair amount of firmware and hardware glitches. No release is perfect. However, the console still manages to execute what it's meant to do: allow people to play big hit titles on the go--and it's phenomenal. Being able to play Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild anywhere aside from being at home is amazing! I can immerse myself into the world of Hyrule while walking to the park, waiting for the light rail, or during down time at work (just don't get caught or make sure your boss is cool). The new joy con controllers felt a bit strange to me at first, as they were flat with hard pushing button, but I soon grew accustomed to it after a couple of hours. Releasing the joy cons from the console itself is pretty easy too; push and hold the release button on the back of each controller and just slide it up. Sliding them back into the console gives a satisfying click when locked in. The console itself is smaller than I had expected and very light, basically the size of a tablet. Screen displays in 720p resolution which is perfectly fine for me while on the go. Docking the system to go from handheld to TV mode is simple to do--to avoid any scratches, be very gentle when sliding the Switch into the dock. Hook it up to a TV and you'll be able to get picture at 1080p resolution. Multiplayer accessibility is super easy to do, since each joy con can act as its own controller--you're basically walking around with two controllers the entire time! Hand the other joy con to a friend and voila, playing coop Shovel Knight. I personally feel satisfied with my purchase. Sure, there's a lot still missing from this newborn of a Nintendo console, but I'm certain there's more to come in the future. If you're on the fence about purchasing a Nintendo Switch, just wait and see what fixes and adjustments are made for a better experience (streaming services, online capabilities, game saves, storage capacity). If you want it because of Zelda, by all means, get it--because it's AWESOME.

In terms of portability alone, i have never owned a better console. No it doesn’t have the power of the PS4 or Xbox One, but it delivers a solid gaming experience nevertheless. My only real gripe not being able to hook up an external HD, but it’s not a dealbreaker at all

Bought for my girlfriend and I to play games with each other only have a few games currnetly but so fun!

Very good the best for buy electronic produts very good

I bought the Nintendo Switch at release, even though I could have just gotten Breath of the Wild for my Wii U. However, I don't regret the purchase one bit, this console has been amazing so far. If you are a long time Nintendo fan or handheld fan, you will love this console. It's definitely the coolest console I've ever owned in terms of being innovative. The switch from TV to the handheld tablet is seemless and satisfying. It's so nice to be able to play crisp, first party games and indies on the go. I suspect that this will be Nintendo's best console since the N64 as long as they capitalize on all the potential in this system.

I like it that you can have 2 people play or a single player. My 6 year old likes it.

Nintendo has done it again. With this new system my child will be so happy this Christmas. I’ve samples the unit and the three different formats of play are nice!! See it on the big screen or make it portable. This product is a winner and my son is very much into gaming.

Nintedo Switch is a great family video game system. Lots of fun titles including all the favorites like Mario Kart and Zelda BOTW. I really enjoy the multiplayer games like Overcooked and recently Animal Crossing.

By far my favorite gaming system now. I bought this for my son for his birthday and we love that it can literally go anywhere. Having the joy cons detach for playing with others is also awesome. We have yet to throw another 80 in for more joy cons, but eventually we will.

Enjoy playing in my Nintendo Switch and my games, nice to have

This is a absolutely amazing console , I’ve had no issues with it since I’ve had it, and the games run great!

Its a great console for having fun with others. Can be interactive or casual and has great selection of games.

Talk about giving your kids a better version of your own childhood. This console does just that. My kids have loved it. It's easy enough for them to learn on their own yet it also helps them develop certain skills to figure things out.

Best portable console of 8th generation. You can play it in handheld, play it in any display (TV, Monitor etc.) which has HDMI input or play it in table top mode with help of kickstand. You get two joy-cons which can be used by 2 players, so 2 players can play together in same console (couch gaming). Oh, so many games are available in 2-player mode, which definitely helped me deciding my purchase.

Fun Family games. We enjoy playing game night on the weekends with our teenagers. Great way to get everyone together

Never owned a Nintendo console, and happy I got this one! Equally as happy that it was finally in stock on Bestbuy.com, and that it was MSRP! Ease of setup and selection of games is great. Happy I made the purchase!!!

Played with the family this past Father’s Day and had so much fun we had to get one for ourselves.

Worth it have had a great time playing it and being able to play with others

I dont know why i have never thought of owning one when this Nintendo console came out..I mainly play with Playstation 4 Pro but now i'm hooked with this console and started buying all its accessories and its essentials.

I tried out another Switch before buying my own, so it was exactly what I expected! I love it! I use it daily to play Animal Crossing. It’s super easy to use, & my grandma got one shortly after I did. She loves hers too!
