    Love the switch! I got this as a birthday present for my son’s 11th birthday. He loves it so much! I love the quality and the new size of the screen.

    Love the bigger screen and the very evident bump in power of the Switch 2. Looking forward to all the great games that come to it. Wish the microsd express cards weren’t so expensive. Storage space filled up fast.

    Not quite a Switch Pro, but definitely improved

    It’s a Switch, but better. I like how most original Switch games seem to run better even if they’re not optimized to do so. The screen is nice, but not nearly as durable or pretty as the Switch OLED’s. Absolutely recommend a screen protector because just taking it in and out of the dock will absolutely cause micro scratches. I also like the larger form factor, it feels so much better than the original. 256GB of storage is diabolical in 2025..

    Absolutely amazing!!! Quality all around is an improvement from the first switch and the oled. I was definitely hesitant to get it but it was definitely well worth it.

    This is a great product. Good build quality. Good performance. Generally, very pleased. Two call outs: #1) the SD card issue. You need a new spec of SD card. Not a big deal because I want performance out of my devices, but it was another $$$ for an SD card. #2) the transition from the switch 1 to this unit seemed clunky. Again, not the end of the world. At the end, the device is great.

    I must say, having the new Switch has made me a believer in handhelds. I owned the OLED white Switch, but this model has delivered the promise of being a fun yet capable machine. I mostly use it in dock mode at the moment but that is due to the visual upgrade that my tv can show crystal clear. When you say it’s enjoyable, Nintendo has raised the bar this generation as far as fun is concerned. Go out and grab one before they’re all gone this holiday season.

    More of the Switch! But is it worth it?

    I’ll be honest, with Mario Kart World included, I’m not sure it’s worth $500. If you got the upgreades for the two Zelda games, yes the look better and run smoother, but they weren’t unplayable on the Switch. I still occasionally break out Breath of the Wild just to get closer to 100% on my Wii U and that still does just fine, so the app still makes the hardware. I’m still waiting to see how the new features work in games like Mario Party Jamboree that take advantage of the mouse and camera. I don’t play Nintendo games online, so Game Chat is a useless feature that I feel Nintendo leined way too heavily on for the launch of this console. Game Cube on the Switch 2, cool, I guess. If im going to play Game Cube games I’ll play on my actual Game Cube, or Wii, or Wii U. They didn’t even include the best games to play on the sustem at launch. In conclusion, do you need a Switch 2? No. As of right now I’d say it’s only for the die hard Nintendo fans that have always purchased Nintendo hardware. 3 weeks after launch and I still find myself playing on PC or my PS5 more than the Switch 2.

    Great upgrade from the original Switch. Performance is smoother, load times are faster, and graphics look noticeably better. Still just as versatile in handheld or docked mode, and setup was quick and easy. Very happy with it so far.

    Son absolutely loves the new Switch 2. He was having multiple issues with the old Switch with his controllers attaching to the Switch. The magnetic controllers are awesome. Larger screen is definitely a bonus. Glade we upgraded him!
