Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was on the fence on upgrading now, but my old switch was just showing it's age. Also the Mario Kart bundle is out of production. I am so happy I did it. This console is so insanely better than the switch 1. It's so smooth everything runs fast and great. If you're interested in Mario kart. You should buy this now before it isn't available anymore. The game is super fun and looks incredible on this system.

The Nintendo switch 2 is an amazing gaming console. I love the big screen and new joy cons. I’ve always had issues with the old joy cons as the knobs seem to go bad quickly. I also love the new features on this system including the chat option. It makes online play more fun. I also appreciate that if you have the original game that was for the switch you can upgrade the game for the switch 2 for a cheaper price. Overall loving this system. It is a great update.

Very happy kid on Christmas. Super easy to transfer data and games. Ease of use is amazing. Game is top notch. Very happy.

Works as intended screen is amazing graphics are great

really good console, i enjoy the games available, and it runs much better than the original, though it loses battery a little wuicly

I bought this 100% expecting the worse based off other reviews. Well if there is one thing I learned in this world, its to not listem to all the bad reviews since most people are hard to please and expecr the world. The screen looks amazing even after coming frol the Switch OLED. Colors look nice and gameplay is alot smoother. Ive tested the new Madden 26 and was very skeptical but again, I read reviews saying it was "unplayable" when it actually is. I have a steam deck OLED but ive caught myself playing on the switch alot more frequently lately. Also the docked quality on some games looks amazing. Its so nice to finally play some nintendo games at 4k resolution. If your skeptical of purchasing this, id say try it out for yourself and see if it meets YOUR needs. Im glad I did, because its definitely met mine. Happy Gaming!

Great game console for the kids. Very portable and sleek design.

Amazing! Love how big the screen is, and how crystal clear the picture is. Only con that i can tell is the amount of play time which is 2 and a half hours. Charging is a breeze though. Glad i got the mario cart bundle as well

So much better than the first switch! This one runs so smooth and feels and looks great. Me and the wife play on it all the time handheld mode and we love the bulit in mic when playing with friends. Tv mode is amazing but we mostly bought it for handheld mode. I would buy more if i had the money lol

I’m super excited to share that after all the waiting, I finally got my hands on the Nintendo Switch 2! My first impressions after picking it up from Best Buy are absolutely fantastic. it’s clear that Nintendo has created a wonderful successor. You can really see the upgrades right away. The larger, more vibrant screen is the first thing that grabs your attention. Even though it’s not an OLED, the LCD quality is really impressive, giving a noticeable boost in visual quality for both new games and those classic Switch titles. Revisiting games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom feels like a whole new experience thanks to smoother frame rates and faster load times!

The switch 2 is Nintendo’s most iterative console in decades; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The original switch was nearly a perfect console and the switch 2 improves on its predecessor in nearly every metric focusing specifically on performance. It has dramatically increased ram, storage and a much more powerful gpu. Excited to see what 1st party Nintendo devs can do with this new hardware. The console also feels more premium in hand with a a better build quality and screen is also brighter. My only complaints are the lack of an oled screen, middling battery life and frankly terrible ergonomics in handheld mode

Much larger display that the switch 1. Which can make it more difficult to hold and play for some. I like the fact that it has backwards compatibility and I think the graphics are improved. I think it is priced a bit high, but if you trade in a previous model as I did at BestBuy, it makes the price a little easier to deal with. Unless you need your previous switch, it is nice that this will continue to play them.

I was able to upgrade to this from the original switch. It’s a HUGE upgrade. The performance is night and day. The screen looks great and games look awesome with the Switch 2 update.

Love the Nintendo Switch 2, despite there being only one Nintendo game at launch they delivered in being able to play switch 1 games, like both Zelda’s and free updates to others to make them more standard for 2025. When I heard about the Switch 2, all I really cared about is that it was just a better switch, so those games that didn’t run well on the original switch can now hit their frame caps. Another thing about the Switch 2 I wanna mention is that it has this new mouse mode for games that play better with a mouse, Which was really cool and puts it over Playstation and Xbox in my eyes. The Joycons themselves are okay, definitely better than the old ones for the Switch 1, the sticks are a bit too sensitive. The GameChat and built in Microphone into the Switch 2 works really well and sounds great, it filters out background noises and you can even talk from super far away and your pals will be able to hear you great. Mario Kart World is a great switch 2 game and excites me for the new ones to come, a perfect example of a great nintendo game. The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great package especially if you get Mario Kart World with it, definitely worth it.

The Switch 2 feels like a natural evolution of Nintendo’s hybrid console. I love how smooth and immersive the games run, and the portability is still unbeatable. It captures the fun spirit of the original while feeling more modern. Overall, it’s a joy to play anywhere.

Better then the previous switch, you can actually enjoy your time playing without a TV but need a better battery though

It runs games great and the portability is incredible

Switch 2 is an excellent console for both kids and adults. We’re having a great time with it and have deemed it a worthy follow up to the original Switch console. The big screen helps a lot for older family members with visibility issues and the joycons are very comfortable. I haven’t noticed any drift yet but we’ll see.

This Switch 2 comes with the new Mario Kart game, which helps sooth the burn of the tarrif upcharge that came attached to it. Also, who does every character have its own alternate version selection square? Could they not have just saved the scrolling over a million times to find the version you want by just putting them as pop up tiles when you select the character you want? I understand that this is a very small issue compared to the other issues Nintendo currently has on its hands at the time. I really hope the Zelda movie comes out decent enough. Why no more F-Zero games? Whatever happened to Viewtiful Joe? I have too much time on my hands right now and too much caffeine in my system.

The bigger screen compared to the first gen is great. Gaming is awesome on the switch.
