Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a lovely piece of hardware to run all the Nintendo games you like, just better. The change from sliders to a magnetic connection of the joycons is nice to use. Many of the additional features are interesting, but not captivating enough to be worth it. An integrated ethernet port as well as the additional usb type-c port on the console are extremely nice to have. Overall a good improvement to the original Nintendo Switch. Is it worth the price? Depends on how much you want improved performance!

Much Improved performance,graphics, larger display, and second USB. Battery life about the same but overall a great Nintendo improved design to add to the enjoyment of any gamer. Grandsons Christmas Present. Gonna Love It!

The Switch 2 is so cool. As someone who used their original Switch daily for years, this feels like a big upgrade that gets me even more excited to play Nintendo Switch. I love the screen. It looks beautiful. The mouse mode is fun, if a little unessential at the moment. Everything feels very high quality. The bigger Joycon are better. The battery can last me for a few hours, so that's good enough for me. So far I haven't run into storage issues. But I don't have a million games like some people. I do have a decent number though. Speaking of games, Mario Kart World is great! I know people are complaining the world is empty, but it's really not to me. I love the p switch challenges. I love hunting the open world looking for them. The tricks you can do are so cool. It feels like a 3D platformer Kart racer and that's so unique. Absolutely worth getting the bundle.

loveeee the new switch! it feels amazing in my hand and plays so well. i do wish the battery charge lasted a bit longer but still overall amazing new console for nintendo and definitely a nice upgrade from the original nintendo switch

The Switch 2 Mario Kart Bundle delivers both a polished system upgrade and one of the franchise’s more ambitious titles in years. Mario Kart World excels in gameplay, visuals, and innovation—though some may find the Free Roam underwhelming and wish for wholly new tracks. That said, the bundle price of $499.99 gives excellent value: you’re getting a 4K-capable dock, mouse‑control Joy‑Cons, much more storage, and next‑gen social features—all launched with a fun and tightly built racing game. If you’re looking for something to dive into right away, especially with friends or family, this bundle hits the mark. Cons: battery life can dip quickly under heavy usage; recycled track list; Free Roam features feel sparse. Pros: stunning visuals, superb performance, inventive Joy‑Con controls, excellent bundled game, robust features like GameChat/GameShare. In short: a strong package for fans, newcomers, and anyone upgrading from the original Switch. A meaningful evolution—just don’t expect cutting‑edge hardware; expect great fun instead.

I bought my Switch 2 almost a month ago and this is my personal review for it. So the main reason I wanted to buy this console was the handheld aspect of it. Because a good chunk of my game time this past year has been on the go. And I wanted something with power and good games. Now I know at the time I’m doing this review there are only two big games on this console. MK world which is $80… and then the new donkey Kong. So I decided to get the MK bundle so that way it’s like I’m paying 50$ for an 80$ game. And speaking of MK….It’s a pretty good game but it does get old after a while so I would recommend getting the bundle with the game because I don’t think it’s quite worth $80. But overall I’ve been enjoying this console. So if you want a portable console with decent power and years of exclusives go for it. But if you’re not that interested in the games that are out right now I would recommend waiting another year or two for there to be more games with hopefully lower prices. This is my first review on Best Buy so hopefully I did OK. (: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved! :)

As an owner of all the Nintendo Switch systems, this console blew all my expectations out of the water. It runs games that feel like they were made for the next generation, including Mario Kart World bundled with it. If you’re on the fence about it, I’d say personally, even as someone casually enjoying it, the quality of previous Nintendo Switch consoles is improved upon ten fold with the Nintendo Switch 2. I couldn’t imagine running many heavy hitters like Donkey Kong Bananza on those systems; well worth the investment.

Brings the new and enhances the old. Very happy and impressed. As a seasoned gamer at 41 years old, Nintendo has a special place in the heart of my generation. Like many folk, I have a gaming PC as well as many other devices. This little guy just brings joy. The screen is large and brilliantly vibrant. Sound is on point. Controllers actually fit grown hands and not just small children. Device does require an SD Express card to properly expand storage. Our traditional SD cards will work, but only for saved games, pictures, and video clips that nobodys cares about. If you do care about that sort of thing, well… yeah. It does have 256gb of built-in storage. Thats a very welcome addition. Traditional switch gamecard slot is still present, but we all know that its no longer optimal. Digital format is convenient and optimal today. Dock does have active cooling as I understand, but I do not seem to notice or even see air slots/vents. Overall, im quite happy and would purchase a second if I could find one. Multiplayer is more fun on separate screens after all :) Nab one. No reason not to. Even the haters online want one and are looking for one! No point in waiting or wandering the reviews vicariously. Nab one when the chamce comes, and maybe we will see each other on GameChat!

Major upgrade from the original switch. With the larger screen, larger joycons, and improved hardware, this is what gaming on the switch was meant to be. A bit pricey (close to a ps5 in price) which is why I give it 4 stars. But I love Nintendo and I’m sure down the line with a new Mario and Zelda exclusively for the switch 2, this console will be 100% worth it. For those who can wait I recommend waiting for more games. For those who are die hard Nintendo fans it’s a no brainer. Nintendo FTW

Very sleek system with a beautiful screen. I appreciate the higher frame rates and 4k support the most!

Honestly, I didn't have any expectations other than to enjoy a classic game. Sure, most people are always going to make comparisons about all the previous game versions prior to MKW, but it is very fun. As a person who grew up with the original gaming systems from the regular nintendo console, this is definitely an upgrade. As far as price, I'm not going to go into it as that is a different subject matter, however, I was able to score a bundle when the pre-orders were finally live. I didn't think I'd get my hands on one, but I did and it was worth the waiting game. This is a console that I can definitely say that my family and I will share as the expansion opportunities for certain games, like Jamboree, for example. I hadn't upgraded from my original switch since i first bought it. I'm glad I was able to transfer my downloaded games onto the NS2. This is something I look forward to using with family and friends, especially on gaming nights.

One of the best purchases you can make for you and your family, allowing several people to play and feel like a family. The screen is very wide and allows you to see the designs very well. I recommend it 100%.

I had the first round of release for the original Switch and decided to upgrade to the Switch 2 when Madden released. It is so much bigger and so much faster that it’s very worth the price to me. The bundle came with the new Mario Kart which was a good incentive seeing as it only added $50 to the total as opposed to the $80 it would have normally costed. The controls are smooth and do not hold a lot of resistance. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s buying their first Switch or who is looking to upgrade. It’s worth it.

It is definitely an improvement over the first switch and competes with a lot of other handhelds, but it definitely feels bare. Mario Kart World is a great launch title, but it still feels like it would benefit from some other releases. The backwards compatibility is a great feature and I hope developers add some more Switch 2 game upgrades to maximize the new features. Additionally, I think the screen is able to compete with the OLED from last gen, but I do hope the option becomes available again.

Finally made me want to play the Switch again, refresh rate and resolution are top notch and the larger size is perfect my eyes and hands. Hardware pricing is perfectly fine imo; the real pricing issues reside in the software. If I hadn’t got the Mario Kart bundle I would feel a bit scammed. Most Nintendo games are nowhere near worth $80, especially Mario Kart World, a game littered with small inconveniences that really add up when slapped with such a high price tag. The library at this point is pretty barebones if you owned and played all the Switch 1 games you wanted, but if you somehow haven’t played titles like Tears of the Kingdom dear lord get this. Off topic but I also highly recommend the “Killswitch 2” case by dbrand if you often play handheld for maximum comfort

The console performs very well! Graphics are a major improvement, but at the cost of the battery life being noticeably shorter.

This is a really great console. I had a Switch 1 for 7 years but it’s been showing its age recently so the Switch 2 came out at just the right time. Switch 2 is better than the Switch 1 in every way. The games run so smoothly and fast, and the graphics look beautiful. The Joy-Cons 2 feel really nice and the buttons are bigger. I love how they connect with magnets instead of the rails like the Switch 1. This bundle comes with Mario Kart World which is soooo much fun, especially when playing with friends. I am very excited for future exclusive games for this console and I’m happy I was able to get it. If you loved the Switch 1, you’ll love the Switch 2. If you’re considering getting a Nintendo console and are not sure whether to get a Switch 1 or Switch 2, I strongly suggest getting the Switch 2 because it will give you much better performance, will last you more years, and give you access to all the upcoming exclusives.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a strong evolution of its predecessor, blending handheld convenience with boosted performance. The upgraded hardware delivers noticeably smoother gameplay, faster load times, and enhanced graphics — finally bringing Nintendo closer to current-gen standards while still focusing on fun over raw power. The OLED display (if included) is vibrant, and the improved Joy-Con drift resistance is a welcome fix. Backward compatibility with original Switch games adds major value, and new exclusive titles help show off what the system can do. Still, it’s not a huge leap — more of a refined upgrade than a total reinvention. But for fans of Nintendo’s ecosystem or newcomers seeking versatility, the Switch 2 is an easy recommendation.

Great pickup experience and, with high demand items, Best Buy has had the most solid system with their variety of bundles! I have a PS5 and Switch 2 both thanks to them. The Switch 2 itself is a wonderful upgrade and fixes the frustrating frame rate and graphical issues with games like Xenoblade 3, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The free upgrades to Switch 1 games is a very nice perk. The kickstand is much more comfortable, the battery life is improved, and the charging port on both top and bottom is a wonderfully needed correction.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is practically buzzing with excitement it's ready to leap off the shelf and into the hands of gamers everywhere! With upgraded internals, a sharper, more vibrant display, and lightning fast load times, it knows it's the future of portable and home gaming. The moment it boots up, it's as if it’s shouting, “Let’s a go!” eager to launch into sprawling adventures, high octane races, and intense showdowns. It can’t wait to show off its new tricks, dazzle with 4K graphics, and connect players in ways never before possible. The Switch 2 isn’t just a console it’s a celebration of everything gaming can be, and it's thrilled to be the star of the show.
