Customer Ratings & Reviews

I bought this for my son and it was everything we ecpected! He loves it and has a great time playing it. I love the Just Dance 2020 game because you can connect it to the TV and they get some exercise while having fun.

I love the switch! So easy to use and I get to play all the classics!

Excelent I have two kids and this one was the gift for one of them, works as expected.

We are really enjoying the Switch as a family. We purchased an extra controller and have been playing Mario Kart 8 together. I really like the ability to take it on the go and dock it to the main screen!

This is a really good gaming system even for people who aren't necessarily that into gaming. The variety of games for purchase is amazing and there really is something for everyone. Very easy to set up as well.

I love my switch. My wife who hasn't played games since Mario 64, can't get enough of Zelda, animal crossing and Luigi's Mansion. So nice to go from tv to handheld and keep gaming. Wish I would of got it sooner.

Nintendo really did a good job innovating with this console. It’s small, portable, packs a punch, and some games can even support 8 players.

Super easy to set up. Really cool that it can be a console or a hand held. Only comes with one controller for use as a console so plan to buy a second one if you plan to play two player games.

Wasy portable game play love playing mario or zelda takes me back to my childhood with Nintendo 64

These joy cons are good quality and Work just like the originals. I would recommend this purchase again.

Great for workouts, really simple to install to your tv

I loved this so much I had to upgrade to the oled version of it. But if you travel alot I recommend the oled!

I've really needed a console like this. I don't have time to devote an entire weekend to a game and when I do have time I'm usually traveling. For me games have to be something I can put down for a day or 2 and pick back up right where I left off and take with me. Portables like the Vita and 3DS were really the only way to do that and play any kind of decent games (lets face it, the app store and play store are never going to have quality games when everything is competing at a $2-$3 price point and/or are full of ads and in-app purchases.) Portables just aren't ergonomic though and power-wise they've been pretty limited. Well, the Switch fills that gap in spectacular fashion. Pros: Ergonomics. Like all Nintendo consoles since the Wii you get your choice of a variety of control schemes but they've never been this seamless or as functional as the Joycons. The fact that I can take them off in portable mode and sit back in an airplane seat or lay down in bed with the screen in a phone holder over me is awesome. Load times: Solid state flash is back for game media (finally!) and it makes things snappy. There's no install time and running the game off physical media is as fast, if not faster, than running a downloaded game off a SATA hard drive. Interface: In keeping with the load times the interface is as clean and snappy as any good android or iOS tablet and the UI is as direct and intuitive as it gets. This is a huge improvement over the Wii U and Sony and Microsoft would do well to take note. Build quality: Nintendo finally ditched the shiny kiddie plastic feel and made something that feels like an adult device and is marketed to, adults. Cons: No apps or browser (yet?): I'm sure this is coming and they hint at it in the interface but presently there's no netflix, hulu, etc. This is obviously a change that can be made over the air and I have several other devices that also do streaming. I probably wouldn't use a broweser even if it had one since my phone's browser is going to be better and have all my favorites already. The kickstand is a bit too far to the right: unfortunately this means the switch doesn't stand up well on soft or curved surfaces and you'll have to jerry rig something or, perhaps, get a case or stand for it. I don't know if those are coming. It is a unique problem to have among consoles though. Null: These are things that I'm either ambivalent about or cancel themselves out. Games: right now, breath of the wild is an amazing game, it's spectacular. Unfortunately there's not much else out yet. Bomberman, perhaps. There's a lot of stuff coming but at the moment we're kind of just waiting.

Excellent for children and very fun for us adults with games of our times like Mario Bros.

Nintendo Switch is THE console to grab. Nowadays there are very few console exclusive games, most games come out for all of the current gen consoles plus PC and Android - but if you want to play Mario and Zelda, you need a Switch. The games that are on all 3 consoles are often BETTER on the switch, Switch has many 'complete, definitive, enhanced' versions which include DLC or other features that are not on other consoles, also - and this is a big one - Nintendo does not censor their games. Games are made all over the world, but if they are going to be released on the playstation they will have to be edited by staff at Sony in California. Nintendo presents the games as they were intended.

The kids love it and can’t wait to play it every day after school!

Owning all the major platforms I can say that I was totally surprised at how wrong I was about the Switch. The Switch, in essence, is the "Un-Console" of the Big Three. In no way will it compare to the latest offerings from Xbox or PlayStation, it does best complimenting those consoles. Zelda is a masterpiece, and more great games will be coming. As a main console, it's harder to recommend due to a lack of features and games. As a second or third console, it's truly amazing. It's so nice to be able to take the console with you -- even if that is just to a different room in your house.

I deliberated a lot in purchasing this new console being that I already had a ps4 with many games. I made the purchase for my love of Mario kart and this game and console certainly did not disappoint. Its multifaceted capabilities are fantastic. I never notice the difference with the onscreen graphics quality to the handheld quality. The unconventional controllers are new, innovative and a pleasure to use; the lack of attachment to the standard remote is a pivotal design for gaming systems and is a joy to use. Only downside is when playing two player the joycons feel small and your hand begins to cramp up regularly. It has become my homes hot commodity and is used frequently when company is over. I have just purchased Zelda breath of the wild and I’ve only become more hooked. If you’re hesitant in purchasing, take the leap and buy it. You won’t regret it.

Nintendos best console yet. With the option of handheld or docked to your tv or monitor, the switchs excellent library can go with you anywhere. Many excellent ports and exclusives on the system!

My kids are between 9 and 11. They absolutely love the Switch. Battery life is great. The fact that they can coop play helps keep the peace. Could not be happier with they purchase on if you are thinking about it buy it.
