Customer Ratings & Reviews

Major upgrade from the original switch. With the larger screen, larger joycons, and improved hardware, this is what gaming on the switch was meant to be. A bit pricey (close to a ps5 in price) which is why I give it 4 stars. But I love Nintendo and I’m sure down the line with a new Mario and Zelda exclusively for the switch 2, this console will be 100% worth it. For those who can wait I recommend waiting for more games. For those who are die hard Nintendo fans it’s a no brainer. Nintendo FTW

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience deserves one. From start to finish, Best Buy made buying my son’s Nintendo Switch 2 one of the smoothest purchases I’ve ever had. I added it to my cart, grabbed the protection plan, checked out, and within minutes I had a confirmation saying it was ready for pickup. No confusion. No delays. Just straight efficiency. Pickup was ridiculous, in the best way. I walked in, showed my info, and I was out in about 30 seconds. No waiting around, no back-and-forth, no stress. That alone deserves props. But the real moment was Christmas morning. Watching my son open that brand new Switch 2 was everything. Pure excitement. Wide eyes. Big smile. He didn’t even know what to say, just straight joy. He was up and playing within minutes, and I could tell instantly this wasn’t just a game system, it was a core memory. Best Buy didn’t just sell me a console, they delivered an experience that was easy, reliable, and genuinely meaningful for my family. If you’re looking for hassle free shopping and moments that actually matter, this is it. 10/10. Would absolutely do it again

Honestly, I didn't have any expectations other than to enjoy a classic game. Sure, most people are always going to make comparisons about all the previous game versions prior to MKW, but it is very fun. As a person who grew up with the original gaming systems from the regular nintendo console, this is definitely an upgrade. As far as price, I'm not going to go into it as that is a different subject matter, however, I was able to score a bundle when the pre-orders were finally live. I didn't think I'd get my hands on one, but I did and it was worth the waiting game. This is a console that I can definitely say that my family and I will share as the expansion opportunities for certain games, like Jamboree, for example. I hadn't upgraded from my original switch since i first bought it. I'm glad I was able to transfer my downloaded games onto the NS2. This is something I look forward to using with family and friends, especially on gaming nights.

Console is overall great. Battery life off the dock is barely 2 hours biggest disappointment. The LCD screen surprised me honestly didn’t think it would be that great but exceeded my expectations. If you plan on keeping it docked and playing on monitor / tv I think it’s great but if you’re mobile then get used to being near a charger.

I like the switch 2. I feel they just right, what they got wrong on the first one. SD cards are a rip off, but games do download much faster. Hardware can actually handle modern games. I personally purchased the 2 year warranty, but truth be told, I most likely will not need it. I think the switch 2 feels much more premium as opposed to the switch. If you don’t have the money, I say save up for the switch 2 rather than games right now. Switch games are backwards compatible. My advice start buying physical media. I don’t know about the youngest dudes but us that are 30 and up should demand physical copies. Within reason of course. Like ports are ok. You know what I mean. Good Purchase, get your bread up.

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!

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.

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%.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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.

I’m very happy with my Switch 2 purchase from Best Buy. The system itself is great, but what really stood out was the in-store experience. The staff was knowledgeable, helpful, and made the whole process smooth and stress-free. I didn’t feel rushed, and my questions were answered clearly. Compared to other retailers I checked, Best Buy was easily the better experience from start to finish. Everything was straightforward, well organized, and professional. I’d definitely recommend buying from this location and would choose Best Buy again over the competition.
