Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch 2 runs great so far. Only exclusively Switch 2 game played so far has been Mario Kart World, but it’s been flawless. The magnetic controllers are nice to have than the sliding ones from the older console. It’s backwards compatible with the Switch 1 games too. So far so good!

This device has been a great upgrade from my OLED switch with a larger screen and a more premium feel. The backwards compatibility is great because all your old switch games carry over to the Switch 2 with upgraded visuals. The price is a little higher but its to be expected with the rising cost. Save $30 by going with this version instead of buying mario kart world and the console seperately.

I’ve had the original Switch for years, and the Switch 2 is exactly what I was hoping for. The screen looks way better (especially in handheld mode), games load much faster, and everything just feels smoother. I love that I can still play all my old games, but now they run better. The new Joy-Cons feel sturdier too. If you’re on the fence, go for it—this feels like the Switch we were waiting for.

Much larger display that the switch 1. Which can make it more difficult to hold and play for some. I like the fact that it has backwards compatibility and I think the graphics are improved. I think it is priced a bit high, but if you trade in a previous model as I did at BestBuy, it makes the price a little easier to deal with. Unless you need your previous switch, it is nice that this will continue to play them.

Nintendo Switch 2 Console Review The Nintendo Switch 2 is a remarkable leap forward for Nintendo’s hybrid gaming platform, successfully building on the strengths of the original Switch while addressing many of its limitations. Design & Build The Switch 2 maintains the iconic hybrid design, allowing seamless transition between handheld and docked modes. The slimmer bezels, larger 8-inch OLED display, and lighter weight make gaming on the go more comfortable and visually stunning. The new Joy-Con controllers feel sturdier and more ergonomic, with improved analog sticks that reduce drift issues. Performance Powered by an upgraded custom processor, the Switch 2 delivers smoother gameplay and faster load times. Games that previously struggled, like open-world titles, now run in 60 FPS in handheld mode and up to 4K upscaled when docked. Battery life has also been extended, averaging 6-8 hours depending on the game. Game Library & Backward Compatibility At launch, the console supports all original Switch titles and offers enhancements for select games. New first-party titles showcase the console’s power, with sharper visuals and more complex environments. The inclusion of a larger internal storage and expandable memory slot makes digital gaming much easier. Online & Features Nintendo has upgraded its online services with quicker connections, cloud saves, and better matchmaking. The new interface is cleaner and more intuitive, with improved eShop navigation. Pros: Stunning OLED display with better portability Significant performance boost and faster load times Backward compatibility with original Switch games Improved Joy-Con design and battery life Cons: Still lags behind PS5 and Xbox Series X in raw power Limited launch lineup of next-gen exclusives Verdict: The Nintendo Switch 2 is a must-have for both new and returning fans. It refines the hybrid concept to near perfection, combining portability, performance, and a growing game library in one versatile package. Rating: 9/10

Awesome!! Gave it to my son for his birthday and he instantly loved it! He’s a gamer, has just about every console, oldschool and new, and he hasn’t played on any other system since the end of July. Bigger screen, better display resolution and the magnetic joycons are an amazing upgrade =)

Amazing! Love how big the screen is, and how crystal clear the picture is. Only con that i can tell is the amount of play time which is 2 and a half hours. Charging is a breeze though. Glad i got the mario cart bundle as well

I’m really enjoying the Nintendo Switch 2 so far, it's a noticeable step up from the original Switch in all the right ways. The improved graphics make games look sharper and more vibrant, and the faster processing speed makes everything feel smoother, from loading times to gameplay performance. It still has that classic Switch versatility, but with a much more modern, responsive feel. Overall, I think the Switch 2 is a great purchase and definitely worth upgrading to if you loved the first one or just want a fun, powerful handheld console.

New Screen, Console, Joycons are much better. Battery life isn't as good but it still last decent time. The games are backwards compatible so you dont loose any of your older games. Whats not to like?

A well thought out and designed handheld! Many improvements over the OG Switch. Much faster load times and frame rates as well. Battery life is exceptional and charges fast with the new 100W Charger.

Much better than the Switch 1. The controllers are magnetic and function better than the slide on ones from before. The graphics are great. Mario Kart World has been a lot of fun as well.

I bought this 100% expecting the worse based off other reviews. Well if there is one thing I learned in this world, its to not listem to all the bad reviews since most people are hard to please and expecr the world. The screen looks amazing even after coming frol the Switch OLED. Colors look nice and gameplay is alot smoother. Ive tested the new Madden 26 and was very skeptical but again, I read reviews saying it was "unplayable" when it actually is. I have a steam deck OLED but ive caught myself playing on the switch alot more frequently lately. Also the docked quality on some games looks amazing. Its so nice to finally play some nintendo games at 4k resolution. If your skeptical of purchasing this, id say try it out for yourself and see if it meets YOUR needs. Im glad I did, because its definitely met mine. Happy Gaming!

The switch 2 is not miles but lightyears a head of the switch 1 in terms of overall enjoy ability thanks to a number of changes such as the larger and sharper display, the extremely satisfying snap due to the magnetic catch and release of the joycon 2, and is given tons of storage compared to the switch 1 which allows you even more time to buy the optional expansion (if need be) allows you to enjoy more games at once before needing to delete any content or upgrade with and express micro so card. Those are only a few pros to name along with my ONLY CON about the console, which would be its heavier weight in comparison to the original switch but can be easily forgotten while using in hand held, largely due to the benefits of all the PROS! This console has been extremely enjoyable with family, friends, and especially on the go!

The screen on this thing is beautiful. Colors pop, HDR works great, and the 120hz refresh rate is something you just can’t go without. Controllers are more than an improvement on the original Joy-Cons. Great buy.

Everything about this device is great, minus some from the battery life, which feels a little disappointing for longer couch sessions. Very impressed that it doesn’t overheat, and runs very well both docked and in handheld mode. The build feels way more solid than Switch 1 and the JoyCons feel much more stable.

Supee fast shipping. The switch itself is super cool. The graphics are super clear and more detailed. You can pass down previous downloads from the first switch. So you can play even more games. The controller is smooth and has good grip. Really fast changing. The switch is bigger and has a nice screen super light in weight. Super good gift or for oneself. When you play games the graphics are clear very good definition. And easy for all ages. Love it highly recommend. :)

The console is a great upgrade from the switch. I’m primarily a handheld user and the extra screen size is noticeable. The updated joycons are leagues better. Not too many 1st party games yet but the ones that do exist are great.

Best portable device EVER!!! So so so glad I had the opportunity to pre-order the NS2 Mario bundle for my wife. Seeing her light up after opening it was definitely worth it! The quality is unmatched, graphical fidelity is superb, I would recommend it to any casual or hardcore gamer!

The Switch 2 plays well with good graphics, built-in memory, and AMAZING kickstand. I actually like playing it as a handheld device but the battery only lasts around 3 or 4 hours. Could he worse but could be better. I like how you can control the battery life so that the battery doesn’t overcharge and cause issues further down thr line.

The Switch 2 is an amazing upgrade from the Switch 1. It is fast, better graphics. It doesnt have the best battery if it isnt being charged. So if you travel a lot get a external battery for it.
