    I really have trouble honestly recommending this switch because yes it’s more powerful, sleeker, slightly bigger and better feel for the detachment of the controller but there’s not much to this system. SOME games are 60 fps and what we can see Nintendo do is just re release games to run in 60 fps. Mario kart world is ok and other than finally being able to play Zelda in 60 fps there isn’t much to it and so I regret buying it. It’s faster but a downgrade to oled. The only handheld so far that I feel is far ahead than the rest is the oled steam deck. For the price and what you get, I just don’t think it’s worth it.

    Meh, boring. I got Mario Kart World on this, played for about 4 hours, and now it collects dust. Nintendo's move to use "Game key cards" which are glorified codes to redeem Nintendo online downloads, is a terrible move. Nintendo seems to be leading the charge to the dystopian world where you'll own nothing. Would've expected Microsoft to do it first. It's also substantially less powerful than a PS4 pro, but nobody should be expecting "power" from a Nintendo product. They're the Apple of the gaming world. Every single console that has a third party game that is also on the Switch 2, plays better on those other consoles. This includes cell phones. Nintendo also hasn't added achievements. They've finally added usernames for online though, instead of "friend codes". How Nintendo manages to provide a worse experience than the Sega Dreamcast for online play truly baffles me. Oh yeah, Nintendo still hasn't added Hall Effects to their controllers, so expect stick drift later. But this is no different than Microsoft or Sony. Weird that the Dreamcast had hall effects on their controllers and they still work just fine, 20 years later. The price doesn't justify the product. Instead of being a loss leader to sell software, they make a substantial profit on these things. That tells me they don't have much faith in their games.

    Wanna pay $70-$80 for video games that look (or very well may be) 10+ years old? Do you want to have absolutely no way to tweak games to your liking? Do you enjoy paying more money for the games that are half the price or even less on other platforms? Do you enjoy supporting a company that are trying to patent basic gameplay features? Did you enjoy the uncomfortable joy cons from the original Switch and wish you could have them again, still prone to stick drift, except they're slightly larger now? Do you want to pay more for a worse screen than the last Switch model? Well do I have the console for you!

    -1 star for Nintendo saying you cant fix your own switch or they’ll brick your whole system, -1 for lack of performance/quality and -1 more star for the price. Recently played Mario Kart World and although it was fun my wife and I pretty much finished it in a couple of days. The open world is single player so that was a massive disappointment. If the Switch 2 cant handle 2 people split screening an open world game like Mario Kart World then why is it $500? A $500 console should be able to handle something like that. Now youre probably reading this review and thinking well its $500 because you can also travel with it but from what Ive seen the screen scratches far too easily and the controllers could easily break off if you drop it so definitely do the Geek Squad protection. Last thing Ill say is there are other handheld gaming devices for around the same price with much better performance. The switch 2 isnt a $500 console and certainly didnt feel any better than my normal switch.

    Decent but there’s not a lot of new games. I enjoyed using it but I would recommend waiting another year or 2 for more games to come out. Also expensive lol

    Such an underwhelming console. its a bit to high priced for what you're getting out of the box. their game price increases are pretty absurd. looks nice when you hook it up to your tv and stuff not sure if its worth the price. but if you like mario kart and i guess now donkey kong go for it. i would say hold off for a price drop or something worth buying on it to come around. You're not missing out on much. Most of the time you get under 3 hours of play time on battery. Still like my OLED switch more.
