Customer Ratings & Reviews

it’s only been a bit over a week since release and i find the NS2 to be really nice. all of the switch games that might have run a little funny (like certain parts in the newest zeldas) run beautifully on this even if you don’t get the game upgrade. the screen is bigger and brighter and the joycons are much sturdier feeling. i have no complaints and i don’t expect to have any for a while, if at all. if you like the switch - this one is def a good upgrade.

Amazing console! Once I had it in my hands I could tell that it is way more than just a "Nintendo Switch Pro". It is fast, versatile, it has a beautiful screen that has nothing to envy an OLED. This is in another label and in my opinion it is worth the price. The battery life is the only downside in my opinion, but it won't stop me from giving this thing a 5 star review!

Only 4 stars cause battery is short but when it’s docked it’s beautiful and when it’s not it’s a nice large screen.

Feels like a premium product. Its impressive screen stands out right away. Somehow it comes across as "this is what Switch is meant to be." Games at 60fps are NICE. And sharp graphics are very welcome. It is a little bit expensive considering Nintendo is generally your more accessible family console, but knowing the hardware here it's pretty reasonable.

I was going to hold off on the Switch 2 until some reviews accumulated but, it went on sale just before Christmas and couldn't resist. Nintendo has some strict do's and don't's with their consoles aimed against any unofficial modifications and such. It could brick your system, but I never do mods, so I'm good there. Even if you play with the Switch 2 docked, like me, be sure to get a tempured glass screen protector because the Swtich 2 has a light protective film on the LCD that can scratch very easily. Game play is smooth and and beautiful. No functional issues whatsoever. You will need more storage eventually, and the only compatible SD cards are the NEW Micro SD "Exress" cards. Normal micro SD cards will not be recognized, including the one from your original Switch. These "Express" cards are on the expensive side, so maybe hold off until they come down in price or absolutely need one. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase, but these consolest's are just getting too expensive for me. Game purchases will be slow and selective and most likely, only while on discount. Regardless of any slight negatives, every second of use is enjoyable!

This is my first Nintendo System since the Wii. I play mostly in handheld mode but even on a 4k tv it looks and plays great. The only area I would improve is the battery. I do think a slightly larger battery would be a benefit. I feel like I am plugging in a bit more than my Steam Deck, likely due to the much larger screen. Overall great purchase.

The Switch 2 is the best Nintendo console, yet. It is 10 times more comfortable than the original switch. It also has more space to download games. The nintendo switch games finaly run smoothly, so i was finally able to play games like pokemon Violet without lag. But its lack of themes draws it back. The 3ds had about 10 different colors to choose from. So if in a future update we get more themes, it will make the home menu more enjoyable. My only other complaint is its battery is bad, but when it gets down to one percent, I can play for another hour before it dies, so hopefully, in a future update, nintendo fixes that. But 4.5 stars best video game console of all yet, and if nintendo fixes the few problems, it will be 5 stars

The Switch 2 is a massive upgrade over the Switch, whether that be the first edition, Lite, or even the OLED version. I've noticed improved performance in many games, like Xenoblade 3, Pokemon Violet, super steady 30fps on Fire Emblem 3 houses, faster load times on many other switch 1 titles as well. Of course, playing an actual Switch 2 game is where the console shines brightest. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Zelda BOTW and TOTK switch 2 versions are incredible. I do wish there were more switch 2 games at launch, though, many are coming soon and next year. Overall, very happy! If you for sure are itching to play any switch 2 games and its within budget, do it! If the current titles, or the upcoming Legends ZA Pokémon game doesn’t excite you much, hold off for now until the library does expand.

A huge upgrade from the original Switch. The way the joycons are magnetic is amazing. The screen size and clarity is vey nice. I would recommend this to anyone into gaming.

The Switch 2 is a major upgrade from the Nintendo Switch OLED. It has a bigger screen, can handle bigger games and is a joy to play Mario Kart with friends and family! This bundle is worth it because you get the game cheaper than you would’ve if you bought it separately.

It's good, better graphics, bigger screen. Only downside is slightly less battery life

I was able to upgrade to this from the original switch. It’s a HUGE upgrade. The performance is night and day. The screen looks great and games look awesome with the Switch 2 update.

I wanted a console that’s easy to jump into and truly feels worthwhile right from the moment you open the box, and this bundle absolutely delivers. The Switch 2 feels polished and responsive, and pairing it with Mario Kart World creates the perfect "day one" experience—within minutes, you’re racing, laughing, and passing controllers around. What I love most is its flexibility: quick pick-up-and-play sessions in handheld mode or dock it to transform it into a living-room party machine. Mario Kart World is the kind of game that everyone can enjoy—kids, casual players, and competitive friends—because it’s simple to learn yet offers plenty of depth to master. The bundle's value is fantastic, too; getting the console and a top-tier game together makes the entire purchase feel like a no-brainer.I wanted a console that’s easy to jump into and actually feels worth it the moment you open the box, and this bundle absolutely delivers.

Man this is amazing solid device we love it big screen powerful performance and best buy made it a pleasure by ordering with them

In all honesty, this console is not for everyone. But for the people that enjoy what it has to offer, It’s nothing short of perfect at what it does. At the cost of $450, It takes what made the first Switch great and made it even greater, including Magnets on controllers for easier attachment to console and/or accessories, upgraded graphics and storage, and more games made available to you, both through the online shop and their retro game services.

Another amazing release from Nintendo! My kids love the new Switch 2. The controllers are a lot easier to detach and manage so less likely to get broken during play. The graphics are amazing and definitely stand up to the other systems we have in the house. I love that they made the system backwards compatible since my family has a ton of Switch games already. This is definitely a recommended purchase especially if you have a family that loves to play games together.

I’m super excited to share that after all the waiting, I finally got my hands on the Nintendo Switch 2! My first impressions after picking it up from Best Buy are absolutely fantastic. it’s clear that Nintendo has created a wonderful successor. You can really see the upgrades right away. The larger, more vibrant screen is the first thing that grabs your attention. Even though it’s not an OLED, the LCD quality is really impressive, giving a noticeable boost in visual quality for both new games and those classic Switch titles. Revisiting games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom feels like a whole new experience thanks to smoother frame rates and faster load times!

Ive had every Nintendo since the NES. Every generation had had its nuance. This latestest edition definitely delivers on everything, classic feel, portability, and speed. Literally everything is better on this unit. I would say if you sre on the fence go ahead and pull the trigger. Youll be happy you did.

Great little console, perfect for the kids! Plenty of power very noticeable compared to load time on previous console. Beautiful screen and fidelity! Will get another one soon! The controller is my only gripe a little awkward for my large hands, but seems great for the kids.

Nintendo Switch 2: A Monumental Leap Forward! ​I've been a dedicated Switch fan since day one, but the Nintendo Switch 2 is more than just an upgrade—it's a complete revolution for hybrid gaming. Nintendo has taken everything that made the original great and polished it to a mirror sheen, delivering an experience that feels truly next-gen. ​Performance & Graphics: Stunning Clarity ​The immediate difference is the visual fidelity. The new, larger OLED screen is absolutely gorgeous, making old favorites look brand new and giving launch titles a stunning depth and clarity. Playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at a buttery-smooth 60fps, in true 4K resolution when docked, is an experience I didn't know I was missing. Load times are practically non-existent thanks to the new processor, which keeps the action fast and fluid whether you're docked or on the go. ​ The Joy-Con Pro: Finally Perfected ​The redesigned "Joy-Con Pro" controllers are a massive improvement. The dreaded drift issue seems to be completely resolved, and the new magnetic locking mechanism feels sturdy and satisfying. I particularly love the improved ergonomic grips and the new haptic feedback, which provides incredibly subtle and realistic sensations—a real game-changer for immersion. ​ Battery Life and Design ​Battery life has seen a significant boost, easily getting me through long travel days without needing a charge. The console itself retains the brilliant hybrid design, but the new, robust kickstand is a small but critical detail that makes tabletop mode much more stable and enjoyable. ​ Final Verdict ​The Nintendo Switch 2 is not just a console; it’s an ecosystem perfected. If you were holding out for an upgrade or are looking to jump into the Nintendo world for the first time, this is the console to get. It delivers the magic, power, and portability that gaming deserves. Highly, highly recommended!
