Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a lovely piece of hardware to run all the Nintendo games you like, just better. The change from sliders to a magnetic connection of the joycons is nice to use. Many of the additional features are interesting, but not captivating enough to be worth it. An integrated ethernet port as well as the additional usb type-c port on the console are extremely nice to have. Overall a good improvement to the original Nintendo Switch. Is it worth the price? Depends on how much you want improved performance!

I have been having a blast with my Switch 2. The screen is a great size and looks great. Playing in docked mode is amazing on a 4K TV. I've been replaying BOTW Switch 2 edition on my TV and I forgot how much I enjoyed it. My wife was impressed with it enough that she asked for one for Xmas. Spoiler, I got one for her already. The OG Switch was great and this just builds on it.

As an owner of all the Nintendo Switch systems, this console blew all my expectations out of the water. It runs games that feel like they were made for the next generation, including Mario Kart World bundled with it. If you’re on the fence about it, I’d say personally, even as someone casually enjoying it, the quality of previous Nintendo Switch consoles is improved upon ten fold with the Nintendo Switch 2. I couldn’t imagine running many heavy hitters like Donkey Kong Bananza on those systems; well worth the investment.

The Nintendo Switch 2 paired with the Mario Kart World bundle is an excellent package, whether you’re upgrading from the original Switch or jumping into Nintendo for the first time. The console feels like a true evolution—faster performance, smoother gameplay, and noticeably improved visuals both in handheld and docked modes. Load times are shorter, games run more consistently, and the overall system feels more responsive. The screen quality is a big step up in handheld mode, making long play sessions much more enjoyable. Mario Kart World is a perfect showcase for the Switch 2. The game looks great, runs smoothly, and delivers the fun, competitive experience the series is known for. It’s easy to pick up, great for multiplayer, and ideal for playing with friends or family right out of the box. Overall, this bundle offers excellent value. You get a powerful new console and one of Nintendo’s most enjoyable games in a single package. Highly recommended for gamers of all ages.

One of the best purchases you can make for you and your family, allowing several people to play and feel like a family. The screen is very wide and allows you to see the designs very well. I recommend it 100%.

This is a really great console. I had a Switch 1 for 7 years but it’s been showing its age recently so the Switch 2 came out at just the right time. Switch 2 is better than the Switch 1 in every way. The games run so smoothly and fast, and the graphics look beautiful. The Joy-Cons 2 feel really nice and the buttons are bigger. I love how they connect with magnets instead of the rails like the Switch 1. This bundle comes with Mario Kart World which is soooo much fun, especially when playing with friends. I am very excited for future exclusive games for this console and I’m happy I was able to get it. If you loved the Switch 1, you’ll love the Switch 2. If you’re considering getting a Nintendo console and are not sure whether to get a Switch 1 or Switch 2, I strongly suggest getting the Switch 2 because it will give you much better performance, will last you more years, and give you access to all the upcoming exclusives.

It is definitely an improvement over the first switch and competes with a lot of other handhelds, but it definitely feels bare. Mario Kart World is a great launch title, but it still feels like it would benefit from some other releases. The backwards compatibility is a great feature and I hope developers add some more Switch 2 game upgrades to maximize the new features. Additionally, I think the screen is able to compete with the OLED from last gen, but I do hope the option becomes available again.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a strong evolution of its predecessor, blending handheld convenience with boosted performance. The upgraded hardware delivers noticeably smoother gameplay, faster load times, and enhanced graphics — finally bringing Nintendo closer to current-gen standards while still focusing on fun over raw power. The OLED display (if included) is vibrant, and the improved Joy-Con drift resistance is a welcome fix. Backward compatibility with original Switch games adds major value, and new exclusive titles help show off what the system can do. Still, it’s not a huge leap — more of a refined upgrade than a total reinvention. But for fans of Nintendo’s ecosystem or newcomers seeking versatility, the Switch 2 is an easy recommendation.

loveeee the new switch! it feels amazing in my hand and plays so well. i do wish the battery charge lasted a bit longer but still overall amazing new console for nintendo and definitely a nice upgrade from the original nintendo switch

Very sleek system with a beautiful screen. I appreciate the higher frame rates and 4k support the most!

I had the first round of release for the original Switch and decided to upgrade to the Switch 2 when Madden released. It is so much bigger and so much faster that it’s very worth the price to me. The bundle came with the new Mario Kart which was a good incentive seeing as it only added $50 to the total as opposed to the $80 it would have normally costed. The controls are smooth and do not hold a lot of resistance. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s buying their first Switch or who is looking to upgrade. It’s worth it.

I bought a Switch 2 (S2) as an upgrade for the many Switches (S1) in my household of four. It is a nice handheld and the build quality seems better than the S1. The set-up was frustrating (*this does not apply to those without a Nintendo account). Basically, the unit requires a Express (EX) SD card to transfer the information from your old S1 to the S2. We have all kinds of SD cards, but none were EX. This meant that we were not able to play on day one (Xmas). Got the correct SD card the next day, which was an additional $60, wasn't happy about that. After doing the transfer the system was up and running. I then decided to download the bundled game. That took longer than expected, probably because I had a kid asking if it was ready every 5 minutes. The game finally downloaded and my kids got to play the system a day after they received it. The new Mariokart was well received. My son also enjoyed the larger format. We got some additional controllers, Donkey Kong Bonanza, Metroid and FC 26. Nothing has been touched and the kids have mostly been playing the S1 games on the S2. I think that the S2 is a good upgrade as compared to the S1. Nothing has really sparked my interest as an adult gamer, but hopefully their will be some good titles coming out in 2026.

Full disclaimer: I am a Nintendo fanboy. I love this console. The controllers feel smooth and overall are just better. The screen is great and the performance is truly amazing. Even the Switch 1 games just run better and faster.

The console performs very well! Graphics are a major improvement, but at the cost of the battery life being noticeably shorter.

The graphics and the wholehearted gameplay of nintendo is here in the Switch2. It runs so smoothly, making gameplay that much more enjoyable and I am excited for Kirby, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon games to get this smooth frame rate with their new games this year! As someone who recently went to the Nintendo Museum, the care and history of this company is singular and I am thrilled to be a part of this evolution in its gaming. I do recommend the procontroller because it enriches gameplay and as someone who enjoys home console gameplay, the huge screen really displays an enriched game experience.

I bought my Switch 2 almost a month ago and this is my personal review for it. So the main reason I wanted to buy this console was the handheld aspect of it. Because a good chunk of my game time this past year has been on the go. And I wanted something with power and good games. Now I know at the time I’m doing this review there are only two big games on this console. MK world which is $80… and then the new donkey Kong. So I decided to get the MK bundle so that way it’s like I’m paying 50$ for an 80$ game. And speaking of MK….It’s a pretty good game but it does get old after a while so I would recommend getting the bundle with the game because I don’t think it’s quite worth $80. But overall I’ve been enjoying this console. So if you want a portable console with decent power and years of exclusives go for it. But if you’re not that interested in the games that are out right now I would recommend waiting another year or two for there to be more games with hopefully lower prices. This is my first review on Best Buy so hopefully I did OK. (: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved! :)

The Nintendo Switch 2 is practically buzzing with excitement it's ready to leap off the shelf and into the hands of gamers everywhere! With upgraded internals, a sharper, more vibrant display, and lightning fast load times, it knows it's the future of portable and home gaming. The moment it boots up, it's as if it’s shouting, “Let’s a go!” eager to launch into sprawling adventures, high octane races, and intense showdowns. It can’t wait to show off its new tricks, dazzle with 4K graphics, and connect players in ways never before possible. The Switch 2 isn’t just a console it’s a celebration of everything gaming can be, and it's thrilled to be the star of the show.

Absolutely amazing system. The new mouse controls are fantastic and MKW looks awesome. The battery life is just OK but that’s My only gripe with the system. It’s a lot of fun you won’t regret buying one. The game chat feature is really cool.

Love the Nintendo switch 2. No glitches, it arrived in great condition. The system runs smoothly and it included the mario Cart game which is awesome. Easy set up and I was able to transfer games from my old Nintendo switch

Disappointed that it is not an OLED display. Feels like a step back in comparison to the switch OLED. The battery life is also bad. The only positives are the slightly larger screen size, larger joy-cons, and quicker load times. Hard to recommend if you already have a Switch OLED.
