    I love the upgraded visuals and fps, the hdr screen, the magnetic joycons, and the charge ports at top and bottom! The back has two tiny dot sized chip indents that make me worry about the durability of the device however I'm not sure if those were caused by me or from the factory.

    Great console. Poor ergonomics

    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

    The Switch 2 is an incredible console. Its performance compared to the Switch 1 is exceptionally noticeable and impressive. The new games offered are worth the upgrade alone. And let’s not forget the ability to access GameCube titles with Nintendo Plus is a significant advantage that makes the Switch 2 a worthwhile investment.

    Best Nintendo Console To Date

    I am more than happy with my NS2. It was a great bday gift to myself. I enjoy playing it most with my 5 year old son, who loves Mario. We play a plethora of Mario games together and I even got him into Zelda. Whether its on the big screen or handheld, I just couldn’t have asked for a better gaming console. Very versatile, great game options and enhaced graphics makes this an easy chose as my go to gaming system. Well done Nintendo and thank you Best Buy for having it in stock when none else did. 10/10

    The switch 2 has amazing graphics and is a greater improvement from the original. The handheld play the battery life feels shorter and that is the only thing I've noticed that is a bother.

    I love this new switch. Now this is coming from someone who doesn’t really game. I prefer Mario games and easy pace games really but I think the switch 2 is amazing. I love the way it looks and the games look amazing too, in my opinion.

    The features of this compared to the first switch have improved tremendously. The larger size is still portable. The controllers are souch smoother in the hands and connect to the main device even better with the magnet to secure and the button to release. The screen resolution is noticeably better and has more clarity than the original device. All of these new features improved on the original device and makes it well worth the money!

    A better nintendo handheld console

    The new nintendo switch 2 provides a bigger screen and controllers with more immersive gameplay, at the expense of handheld batter life (about 1 hour). Well worth it for both docked and handheld, understanding that external batteries are common.

    Nintendo Switch 2 trumps all other game systems.

    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.

    Compared with the previous Switch models, the biggest difference is not the concept but the execution. The original Switch was innovative, but it often felt underpowered, especially late in its life. Reviewers noted that Switch 2 improves the experience with a larger screen, faster loading, easier library transfer, and more refined hardware, while still feeling familiar to anyone who has used the first Switch or Switch OLED. The new magnetic controller attachment and improved processing headroom make the system feel more modern without losing the portability that defined the original

    Works as intended, I had some best buy points to lower the price. Mario Kart world is a lot of run. Switch 2 dows feel heavier, but the games are running smooth and the joycons feel nice

    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 is AMAZING puece of tech for you and the whole family. It may not be an OLED but I've honestly not seen a major difference in display. The graphics and smoother gameplay is next level. Especially when playing it on the television. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the battery isn't the best. You have to carry a charger or be at home if you plan to play it for over 3hrs. Other than that I'd recommend this to anyone.

    A pretty decent upgrade

    The Switch 2 isn't groundbreaking or anything, but it does make the original almost obsolete. Most games are backwards compatible with only a few exceptions here and there. Besides getting it for the upcoming Switch 2 only games, there's a few games from the original Switch's library that have received free updates to take advantage of the new hardware's capabilities (and I'm sure more will follow over the years). It's also been getting a steady amount of 3rd party support, mostly in the form of 8th and 9th generation ports, but there'll also be new games. If you liked the Switch, you'll probably be a fan of the Switch 2, but maybe hold off for more games you'd be interested in. Mario Kart World is plenty of fun, but it really shouldn't be an $80 standalone game, so if you're interested, this bundle is for you. The game is very well made, and exploring the open map is an interesting concept for a kart racer, but there's less courses than previous entries (especially compared to Mario Kart 8/Deluxe after all of its DLC)

    Family Game Nights Just Got Better!!

    The Nintendo Switch OLED is everything I hoped for and more! The upgraded OLED screen is absolutely stunning, the colors are brighter, the blacks are deeper, and every game feels more alive. Playing titles like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Mario Kart looks breathtaking compared to the original model. The enhanced audio is another pleasant surprise. Whether docked or in handheld mode, the sound is clearer and more immersive, making long gaming sessions even better. The wider kickstand is a game-changer too, it feels sturdy and makes tabletop gaming with family so much easier. Battery life is solid, setup is seamless, and the portability makes it perfect for both at-home play and gaming on the go. It truly feels like Nintendo perfected an already amazing console. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade, this is the version you want. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
