Customer Ratings & Reviews

great product, provides hours of fun. Work well. Several game options

We use Nintendo wii for years and now its time to upgrade and we continue with Nintendo

My little five year old loves this counsel so fun that we can play together or her by her self and hook it up to the tv or on the go

I bought this console as a family console and haven't been disppointed. I love it as a portable console and my kids love playing it at home.

This is Anne of the greatest Nintendo systems created this far. Perfect for young kids & even adults!

The Switch surprised me. This is not the best gaming console out there, that honor lies objectively with the PS4, nor the best media system, which belongs to Roku, or the most powerful console, obviously the Xbox One X. However, this is the only way to play Zelda BotW. I literally only bought it for this one game, but I am genuinely enjoying the system and have since ordered Mario Party, Super Smash Brothers, and Donkey Kong. Here's the good. The UI is clean, mostly. It's basically a slightly better Wii. The system seamlessly suspends games, loads moderately quickly, and has the added benefit of taking it to go. I seriously considered bringing it to my family's place while waiting on Thanksgiving dinner to be ready. The pro controller makes this console worthwhile and should be an included accessory. The $20/year Nintendo online service includes a NES Classic emulator and cloud saves in addition to online multiplayer access. Physically, there are a lot of things to like. This is an excellent answer to the tablet market from Nintendo. The screen is large and clear, the battery life when gaming can vary wildly but is generally good, it's lightweight, and looks good. The console is fun, but underwhelming. Here's the bad, and why it's underwhelming. The Switch is clunky in parts of the UI, under-powered, and missing features that every other console has natively. I have been playing Zelda A LOT, and have noticed screen-tearing, glitchy freezes, and long load times (which should be a non-issue with cartridge units). The system simply needs more power. If you're going to make this a mobile game system, fine, couple it with a powerful ARM chip or custom x86 chip built for battery life. We have the ability to connect an external GPU to computers for more power when being docked at home, why can't the dock be usable in that capacity (it's already USB-C)? I have a 4k TV for my gaming/VR PC, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. Why do I need to settle for glitchy/slow 1080p with the Switch, which cost almost the same? Additionally, I won't always be using this on my TV, and may put it on another TV for media content for my niece...so why aren't Netflix, Plex, and Hulu available? Then, there's the the clunkiness of the UI...the Nintendo eShop. There's no cart, it's not easy to use, the game downloads are slow (1/5 the speeds I get on XB1X and 1/4 the speeds on PS4 Pro), and it's BRIGHT WHITE (terrible for battery life AND contrary to the DARK theme I chose). Overall, there's a lot of bad. This system should not exist. The Wii U was almost as fast, had a larger game library, and could have continued to exist in the market space while Nintendo made this system better. I will not lie or mislead anyone. I do not like Nintendo, but nor do I like Sony or Microsoft. No matter how you look at it, this system exists for 5 games: Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart, Super Smash Brothers, Mario Party, and Zelda BotW. This system is AMAZING for mobile gaming. Unfortunately, the Switch falls short in every other category. Nintendo needs to step up their performance game, they're behind the times (have been since the Wii), and simply aren't willing to make their customers happy with much needed improvements. Tl;dr: Get it for the exclusives. It's basically a slightly better Wii and a re-release of the Wii U. If you want the best new games or a media station, go with a PS4. If media is most important and you want the largest library of games due to backwards compatibility, go with the Xbox.

I love the switch! There's lots of games to play on there and can play with my friends online

My child love the switch it is so adjustable like TV playing and removable joysticks

Bought this for my boyfriend and he loves it! Plays it all the time especially since he can take it on the go. Great game!

My son really enjoys playing his switch. I like the fact that He can put it on his TV to avoid looking down to much.

I can't believe how much better this is from the Wii U. I love that i can take the game anywhere with me. It's so awesome!

Great console. Being able to switch between a big screen HDTV and a handheld device is truly great. I'll be enjoying this console for years.

On the go or at home, very well designed lots of options for play. This is really the culmination of what Nintendo has been working towards.

This is so innovative it's a wonderful product. It's a home console and a handheld beautiful graphics and fun new ways to enjoy video games.

This is the second switch that I've bought. This one was for my wife so she'd have her own system to play kirby on and she loves it.

It was great to replay a system like the game boy and bring back memories from playing Pokémon game to Mario

Excellent choice for my grandson. Never experienced any problems with the games.

I loved the gameplay on all the games I can play with it on the big screen or in my bed portable

i bought this for my 5 year old daughter and she loves it, great purchase, Very satisfied.

We were looking for our next gaming item and won big time with the switch. There are so many games to play! So great!
