Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great upgrade from the switch oled. I own all three models of the switch and the switch 2 is the one I have been using often. The graphic for the switch 2 have been amazing however the only issue is the battery I do find myself charging it sooner than my oled.

it has better resolution and better screen than switch 1. but it has a few flaws. one is youtube app doesnt work on it. and battery life is really short

Overall had a good experience with this console, a major improvement over the Switch 1, Just get ready to spend a bit extra to expand the storage with an Express SD card as regular SD cards don't work for storage

Amazing upgrade compared to the 1st switch. So much fun. Battery needs to be longer on its own, however the USB-c on the top of system will charge the unit so makes it easier to play while charging

Was super excited about getting this and it did NOT disappoint me. The graphics are amazing and its a good size for a handheld gaming system.

The upgrades to the hardware and the larger size make for a great on the go handheld and some pretty graphics on the big screen.

Portability and great battery life . Graphics are sharper and it’s easy to switch between handheld and other mode . Highly recommend.

Works great and I love the graphics. The size is perfect too.

The switch finally has the power to run next gen games and the screen size makes such a huge difference. Definitely worth the upgrade for anyone who loves playing on the switch since the games are also backwards compatible.

This was written within one month of the console's launch. Much may change over time. Console: Overall, I'm satisfied with Switch 2. The console itself feels comfortable to use handheld. It runs better than the original Switch, even with Switch 1 games. The mouse controls are an addition with a lot of potential, though it has yet to be fully utilized. Technology like DLSS will hopefully allow the system to run demanding games acceptably. Currently there aren't a lot of original games on it which I'm interested in playing on the system, but I'm confident that will improve quickly over the first year based on Nintendo's history. The motion-clarity of the screen has become a complaint for some. It doesn't bother me personally, but I'd recommend testing the system first to see if you're sensitive to it. It also remains to be seen if design problems like joystick drift will happen over time the way they did with Switch 1. Mario Kart World: "Mario Kart World" is a good game, and perhaps may be improved by Nintendo over time. However, as it stands at launch I'd rate it 8/10; it's fun but clearly a first iteration on a new open-world concept. Exploration lacks a satisfying sense of progression, and it's easier to fall out-of-bounds during normal races because the boundaries are less clear than past games. For comparison I'd rate "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" 9/10; it's currently the best version of the traditional formula even if there's room for improvement. Given the choice between MKW and MK8 I'd probably recommend MK8 even if they were the same price. But I'm happy to have MKW.

I preordered this first day it was available and had it delivered. Best buy let me down because it was 3 days after launch that I finally received it. Quite disappointing to have been the first to pre-order it and then have to wait several days to get it. Note for the future, don't have pre-orders delivered. I figured a day late max. For me personally, The switch 2 hasn't wowed me since upgrading from the switch 1. I buy every console. I have the playstation 5 and xbox series x as well. Is it fun? Yeah. Does it excite me like when I first got every other next gen console in the past? No. Do I crave playing it? No. The graphics are not that much better to me. For the price honestly I expect more. I have mario kart world, donkey kong bananza, and zelda breath of the wild. They are all okay games to me. The controllers seem good. I like the new joy cons and how they attach. This is buy far the most exciting thing Nintendo did. Other than that, evertyhing else is the same to me.

Everyone we wanted in the switch 1 upgrade - graphics, material quality, better screen, and nicer form factor. We got it all

Don't listen to unnecessary hate, there's a lot of lies that are spread about this console. Nintendo made a great product, it was easy to set up, it's comfortable to use, the performance is great, game chat is actually really good, BUY IT. THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE AT BEST BUY FOR MAKING MY DAY ONE PURCHASE EASY.

Great product, very fast and convenient with the handheld ability. Would recommend to anyone who likes the switch but wants more intensive games on it

I’ll start with the high definition resolution which makes older games feel like new again. Specifically Zelda BOTW and Zelda TOTK. It also has quicker loading/refresh rate times. The controllers are larger and have a new magnetic snap to lock vs the slide to lock, making them easier to remove and charge. I purchased the Bundle with the new Mario Kart World and have tons of fun with family and friends! Now just waiting in new games to come out hopefully for the holidays. 10 out of 10 recommend!

Larger screen. Graphics are amazing. Definitely an upgrade from the switch. Recommended

I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 with the Mario Kart World Bundle back in June, and it’s been a huge hit with the family. The kids love it, and I’m impressed with how far the graphics have come—the new games look sharp, colorful, and smooth. • Graphics & Image Quality: The visuals are awesome, making every race and adventure feel more immersive. • Pro Controllers: The upgraded Pro Controllers are a big step up from the older versions—comfortable, responsive, and perfect for longer play sessions. • Family Fun: It’s quickly become our go-to console for family gaming nights. Cons: Right now, the list of native Switch 2 games is still pretty short. While titles like Mario Kart World and a handful of others show off the console’s power, I’m hoping Nintendo expands the library soon so we have even more to enjoy. Overall: A solid video console with stunning graphics and better controls, perfect for sharing fun with the family.

To me the Switch 2 is worth it especially upgrading from the switch OLED. Performance is way better with 3rd party games and the same can be said when you play Switch 1 games. though i do wish there was more storage. Overall, great console.

First! Price range isnt the best but its okay i believe it is worth getting, I don't write alot of reviews so here I go, this Console feels nothing new to the switch 1 BUT worth the upgrade... the new Joy cons has grown on me i love them alot way better than the first gens. I have bought a few games Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and Donkey kong Bananaza runs smooth no frame drops, loading is so much better and faster and those game looks great! Battery life is okay I ran about maybe 2-5 hours worth of battery but really depends what you are playing. Also the dock has a ethernet port and two usb. Also the switch do be running 4k when its dock of course and it is backwards compatible with you old games from the switch 1, overall it is worth it, i almost went for the ps5 but glad I didnt since i own a PC so getting the Switch 2 made more sense for me also nintendo exclusives cant go wrong, i recommend buying this switch 2 if you're interested in buying one.

Never having owned the Switch 1, I wasn't sure what to expect but my family loves it. Surprised how easy it is to pop out of the holder and keep playing on the go. Graphics are a nice upgrade and looking forward to the upcoming exclusives
