Customer Ratings & Reviews

Buy one (if you can) It is worth it. The controversy is fake. If they are in stock in your area and you have the money it is worth it. If you like Mario Kart it is a must buy. If you haven’t yet played either of the best Zelda games (BOTW/TOTK) it is a night and day difference. There is no valid argument against the switch 2 aside from “I don’t have 450 to spend on a console right now”

Smooth frame rates. Sleek design and the games run well.

I bought this for my son. Overall it's a very nice unit and upgrade from the switch 1. Recently, the right controller started having issues and I'm not sure why. It's only 2 months or so old. Maybe it's a glitch? But, I do like the graphics and usability overall. The only other thing that was a little off-putting is you have to buy a special micro SD and can't use the old one. Also, the charger from the last one doesn't work correctly with this Nintendo base. I feel like Nintendo should create hardware that can transfer each of those small items over because it ends up being an extra 100-200 dollars on top.

loving the new switch. The screen is great but the battery life is not that good.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the next generation of gaming. Even old games that used to lag at some points no longer experience lag. Minecraft is smoother. Boomerang Fu is smoother. Split Fiction is breathtaking. My family and I have played it at least 100 hours in the 1st 10 days. Best Buy did a great job with my preorder, and thankfully did not staple a receipt to my switch 2 box haha. 5 star experience.

Great system. Slightly better graphics than the original Switch but you do need to have a really good high definition flatscreen to notice the difference. While I wish they would’ve done more with this new edition (more features, different and better games and accessories, it’s a blast to play.

I really like how they improved bascially everything form the switch 1. And with backwards compatibility i can now play my old switch games at better quality which is really great. My pnly complaint would be how the ui is really mcuh different from switch 1 and they still havent added music to their menus again but those are minor grips

The console is very nicely designed and sleek. So far it seems like a really good console.

My son loves the switch 2. He is having a blast with it. The bigger screen is great as well. Mario Kart is so much fun. He and his sister are having a blast playing again each other. I have no regrets buying this for my kids.

The console works fantastic! I want to give a shout out to Steve, the manager at the Best Buy near the Westminster mall in Westminster CA. My Nintendo Switch 2 box was damaged when I went to pick it up during the midnight release event and he was able to get it replaced for me. Every employee that was working that night at the midnight release event did a phenomenal job. Big Thank you to Steve!

The fact this is a hybrid system and can handle 4k 60fps or 1440p up to 120fps is pretty impressive. Graphics and gameplay performance is a huge upgrade compared to the Switch. I definitely recommend picking one up. It is up there is price, but for what you get on this system it is well worth it. Hopefully they get a little more competitive this time around and mid gen get up to 4k 120 fps.

I have the Switch, the Switch OLED and I didn't consider doing the Switch 2 until I played it myself. It is a tremendous upgrade, stronger battery life, more vibrant screen and quicker response from the controllers.

The display chrisp and looks amazing i love the new magnetic joycons. It feels little better in the hands. Was unsure of upgrading but glade i did now.

Larger crisper screen. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the screen feels more fragile and easier to scratch. This is a higher end console, and it feels fragile given the price range. I would been willing to pay more for a version that would have a much more rugged feel.

When first seeing the Switch 2, I was so excited especially since the system is backwards compatible with the original switch and launched with Mario Kart World. Despite the price and spike increase in games and accessories, the games so far play beautifully and load a lot faster. I mainly upgraded for the new Donkey Kong and Metroid game coming up, so I’d say grab one if you see one available!

Despite the negative press leading up to its release, I am pleasantly surprised by how much I'm enjoying my Switch 2. It's basically everything everyone asked for, a more powerful NSW1 with the amazing backwards compatibility to boot. Yes, it has some issues, but nothing that is a deal breaker and should be improved with updates down the road.

Feels worth the hype, the graphics for things are genuinely a lot better and it actually runs games smoothly (That’s probably a low bar but hey it makes me happy). Same terrible joycon design, so if you plan to play on it a lot I definitely recommend getting a separate controller to avoid bad hand cramping. My Bluetooth controller for my switch 1 still connects to the switch 2 which is great.

We just love and play this all of the time! Good fun for the whole family and its so great to be able to play the old games and downloads, and most of the old controllers on it as well and retire the old Switch to the box. Beautiful graphics! A bit pricey though than it should be. But its Nintendo and we always buy them going back to the 80s!

I'm loving my time with the Switch 2. Everything about it is an upgrade from the original. The magnetic click for the joy cons is so satisfying, and popping them in and out of the console or any accessories is so much easier with the new mechanism. Mario Kart World is a blast to play with my family. I am also enjoying the free roam mode, it's relaxing to just cruise around with no real goal other than to see what's beyond the next horizon. I like that there are upgraded versions of classic switch games. Even non-upgraded games are greatly benefited from the beefier hardware, as load times that used to be significant are reduced by huge margins. Being able to use my legacy controllers with no real loss in functionality (other than losing access to the new social button) is really great because otherwise I'd probably be spending just as much as a new system to deck my family out in new gear just to play together.

Overall the Switch 2 is fun and a great upgrade from the OG. Battery life span is alright
