Customer Ratings & Reviews

The technology and graphics on the Switch 2 is amazing. The screen size is perfect. Easy to use and I love the way the controller it comes allows 2 players.

A worthy upgrade to the original Nintendo Switch. Bigger screen, better resolution, still has excellent battery life - and the Joycons are a bit bigger and it makes a difference! (Even though I’ll probably still buy a grip attachment) I’ve had the Nintendo Switch 2 for a little over a week and playing games on it has to be experienced because words can’t express how amazing Pokemon Violet feels at a smooth 60FPS… words can’t express the resolution bump and FPS bump Mario Odyssey (already perfect game) experience in this transition. And there are plenty others that’ve taken advantage of the Switch 2’s extra horsepower. The Nintendo Switch 2 is worth the upgrade. Thank you Nintendo. I look forward to another wonderful 7 years of gaming greatness.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has been such a great addition to our home! Me and the kiddos absolutely love it—it’s one of our favorite ways to bond and spend quality time together. Whether we’re playing Mario Kart, co-op adventures, or just switching up games, there’s always something fun for everyone. The graphics and performance are a big step up from the original, and the versatility between handheld and TV mode is perfect for our busy family life. It’s more than just a gaming console—it’s become part of our family routine. Highly recommend for families looking to connect and have fun together!

My son is an avid Switch player. I never thought he'd tell me his Switch was blah. The Switch 2 definitley comes in hot! My only knock, Nintendo needs to make the games bigger. Way too easy to lose.

Bigger screen, more power, better game quality. The Switch 2 checks all of those boxes that Switch 1 owners had. I'm 20 hours into Cyberpunk 2077 and having a blast. 100% satisfied with the purchase. 4 stars are ONLY due to battery life during demanding games (it was to be expected). But overall an amazing console and even better handheld. Buy one as soon as you're able to! (Retail)

Much bigger than the first gen. Better graphics but the battery life is just okay. I find myself charging it a lot more than the first one.

Awesome console. Looks better, plays smoother. Costs a lot, but worth it if you can swing it comfortably. The controller device that the joy cons clip onto is a little awkward. Not sure if it’s my hand size or just in general, but just feels a little awkward; nothing major by any means.

What you would expect a switch but with better, bigger screen, a better display than the original switch, no oled model yet but not a huge dealbreaker in my opinion and a much more powerful console overall, only wish the battery was better

Cool new controllers, bigger screen on-the-go, even bigger screen docked for 4K gaming, plus keep playing Switch 1 software

The Switch 2 is a massive upgrade from the original. Load times are lightning-fast, visuals are crisp on both handheld and docked modes, and Mario Kart World is a blast right out of the box. The new Joy-Cons feel sturdier with better button feedback, and the performance boost is obvious during gameplay—no lag, smooth 60 fps. Battery life could be better during extended sessions, but it's a small trade-off for everything else you get. This bundle is a great value for anyone jumping into the Nintendo ecosystem or upgrading from a previous model. Highly recommend!

There are a lot of pros with the Switch 2. I like that it is still compatible with the original Switch games, I already have a ton of those. As an adult player I like that the remotes got a little bigger, add a cheap case or cover and it will feel better when playing handheld. I like that we can now play 4k docked. I wish they would have added more memory and had more Switch 2 games at launch.

The Switch 2 has a ton of thought put into it, making it feel like a proper gaming device instead of a toy like the original Switch. The Switch 2 can finally play modern games, making it a viable standalone console instead of supplementary to the other consoles.

Upgrading and improving the previous generation of the Switch family, the Nintendo Switch 2 delivers better performance (most games now run at a steady 60FPS) and a higher resolution. The console’s handheld screen has grown a bit and the Joycons have also been redesigned. The dock also got a new design which keeps the console cool under load. Some new features such as chat and video chat have been added as well. The Switch 2 takes the best of the Switch 1 and makes it better.

Best version of the Nintendo gaming system yet. Graphics are better than ever. Controllers are a bit larger which is great. Really like the magnetic feature of the controllers rather than the snap on.

Battery life is terrible. Size is great. Gameplay is great and performance is great. Just terrible battery life

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a fantastic evolution of the original hybrid console. It keeps the versatility we loved seamlessly switching between handheld and docked modes but with noticeable upgrades. The improved graphics, faster load times, and longer battery life make gaming smoother and more immersive than ever. Joy-Con improvements fix many of the issues fans had with drift, and the enhanced screen quality makes handheld mode truly shine. Whether you’re revisiting classic titles or diving into new releases, the Switch 2 feels like the console the original always wanted to be.

I absolutely love the Nintendo switch 2. I’ve been team PlayStation for over 25 years and I can honestly say this system has some innovative features! The fact that you can play it 3 different ways is innovative on its own. It can be docked (connected to play) on the tv screen, handheld (play on the small screen) or you can just pull out the kickstand behind the switch screen to prop up the screen (you can disconnect the controllers on the side and both attachments turn into 2 controllers). I was mind blown. The Switch really took play anywhere to another level. I didn’t have a Switch 1 but I have no complaints about the Switch 2 so maybe they worked out the kinks and made a great console. The switch 2 doesn’t have a lot of new games but all the switch 1 games work on the switch 2. Including the switch 1 controllers… you just have to pair it. I personally bought the pro controller and switched “A and B buttons” in the system settings because I was so used to the traditional PlayStation controller. At first it was a learning curve but after I made action and back bottoms on the controller work like the PlayStation I was having a great time!!! Great investment. Another recommendation is a portable charger if you plan to have it on the go all the time. I’ve only heard the battery lasts about 4hrs. The most I can play a game is about 1.5hrs maybe 2… then I’m ready to be productive in life. I played for a hour and the battery went down only 23%. I just put it on the dock to change until next time. The controllers charge there too. Connect everything and dock it and your golden. However, If you’re a 5 -8 hr gamer keep that in mind. Another great feature is the dock takes up a small footprint. It’s about 6-8 inches max compared to PlayStations’ console looking like an old school thick encyclopedia- game console still well worth it by the way! Last night I just found out there’s an online feature where you can download all the classic Nintendo games from old Nintendo game boy advanced, game boy, game boy color, sega genesis, and Nintendo’s pixelated arcade era FOR FREE! Some require a $2 fee… some you can only play if you subscribe to the online membership. There’s a 7 day trial to check it out. If you’re a serious gamer $40 a year is well worth it to have all the Nintendo classics on your new 2025 console. I personally only downloaded Tetris but theres Pokémon snap, Pokémon stadium, bajo tootsie… all the Mario’s ever created on each Nintendo system….. the list goes on. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks and I still haven’t gone into all the features. Oh and you NEED A MICRO SD EXPRESS for saving the games!!!! Regular micro SD won’t be fast enough. The switch 2 has a temper glass already on it but it scratches. I’d recommend a screen protector as soon as it comes out the box to protect your investment… or not.

The Switch 2 is a solid upgrade in terms of hardware — it runs smoother, looks sharper, and keeps that signature hybrid design that made the original such a hit. If you’ve got a huge backlog of Switch games, this is definitely the best way to play them. Games load faster, frame drops are less of a problem, and older titles feel fresh with the performance boost. But when it comes to new games? That’s where things start to feel a little underwhelming. The launch lineup isn’t very exciting, and first-party releases are pretty thin at the moment. It feels like Nintendo is still holding back their heavy hitters, and third-party support hasn’t taken full advantage of the upgraded specs just yet. The Bottom Line: If you’ve missed out on the original Switch library or want to replay classics with better performance, the Switch 2 is a great pick. But if you’re hoping for a flood of new, next-gen Nintendo experiences right now, you might want to hold off a bit.

This is an excellent upgrade from the Switch 1. Mario Kart World is well worth it as an included game. The Switch 2 upgrades of games such as both Zelda games play much better and look sharper with the upgraded hardware. The only knock I have is 256 GB is too small of storage, if Nintendo is going to take the approach of wanting to go all digital with their games. If the expectations are to buy additional storage, then they should've opted for Mico SD instead of the new standard Micro SD Express, that's way more expensive for less storage.

I have been loving this console. Handheld and dock modes are both greatly improved with better graphics and smoother performance. One downside is the battery life is not great when playing in handheld mode. Don’t expect to play longer than 2-3 hours on a full charge. Nintendo played it safe with this next gen console but that is not a bad thing. They have consistently put out great games and the improved third party support is refreshing. Can’t wait to see what the next few years has in store for this new gen console!
