    Almost the handheld you're looking for...

    Greatly improved from it's predecessor. The controllers are much better with the magnetic attachment although I'm unsure why the sticks aren't Hall effect given this thing is brand new. I do like the mouse style functionality that the joy cons can assume which is a neat addition but its a bit gimmicky and probably not comfortable to use long term. Nintendo added a second USB-C port on the top of the system so you can plug chargers or accessories in on the bottom or top of the device. The screen size is bigger and I prefer the dock on this one as well as the improved storage capacity although I wish 3rd party docks like my Mirabox 36W (Switch 1) dock were compatible so I could take a second one without having to unplug everything from the TV. Performance is much improved and 4K looks great for Zelda (if you buy the upgrade... ) but battery life is still not the best and it needs MicroSD express cards to expand the internal storage so your old SD cards aren't compatible. I think if they'd opted for a 2230 NVME instead, it would have been a better expansion solution than the cards but I get there's a lot to cram into a small space. Overall a solid upgrade for the switch but could benefit from some minor tweaks. I'd love a variant/2nd gen model with a 1tb NVME, Hall effect controllers and a larger battery.

    I picked up the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle and it’s been a great value. The console is easy to set up and works well whether playing on the TV or in handheld mode. Having Mario Kart World included in the bundle is a big plus since it’s one of the most fun games to play with friends and family. The performance of the Switch 2 feels smooth and the graphics look great while gaming. Overall, this bundle is a great choice if you’re looking to get the new console along with one of the most popular multiplayer games right away. Pros: Great bundle value, fun multiplayer game included, versatile console Cons: Storage space can fill up quickly if you download many games

    Positives: Big and beautiful screen, almost Oled like for colors and contrast. Improved gtaphics and smoothness. Runs games much better and they look great. When playing multiplayer the controllers are much more comfortable and easier to use due to their size increase. Same familiar experience for the UI, if you know how to use a regular switch, you wont need to figure out hot to use this one. Extra usb C port, better more adjustable stand, and access to bigger games due to the performance increase. Plays switch cartridges. The build on hard drive space of 256GB is more than plenty to hold tons of games. Negatives: battery life is notably worse but, just means you need a battery pack or charger nearby for extended sessions. Hand held mode has terrible ergonomics. As an adult with smaller hands it hurts to use after a short time. Taking the controllers off and using the accessory that links them together is infinitely more comfortable. Game prices are ridiculous. You cannot use a standard mini SD card anymore. It Must be an SD Express which currently only comes in smaller sizes, its not even needed though because games are much much smaller and you can fit tons as mentioned. Final Thoughts: I sold my oled switch in advance knowing this was coming. I have yet to finish games like Zelda so I will benefit playing older games with the improvements in performance. Its a good buy if you can sell your previous switch for this just because its better in every way except battery life, which can be mitigated. If youve beaten all the previous switch games then im not sure this is worth it. Its very expense with only one to two launch titles. I did not get far in cyberpunk so I may get it. It just depends on your situation. I would not have any FOMO though because theres only a few games that are “new” some of which you may not even care to play or beat already.

    Larger, Higher Resolution & Graphics

    I've only plaid a few games on this console but so far it is pretty nice. The screen is much larger, the graphics and resolution looks great and the controllers are comfortable. Though it is bigger, it feels more cumbersome to hold as hand held, but the detachable controllers are nice. It's much easier to use them as single controllers too since they are larger and the kick stand on the screen is much better to balance on a table. If you have the spare money to upgrade to the switch 2, it's worth it.

    The Ultimate Family Console: Seamless Fun

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As a family of four, finding a gaming system that works for everyone—from the adults to our 12-and 9 year-old—isn’t easy. The Nintendo Switch 2 has honestly been one of the best upgrades we’ve made for our home entertainment, and here’s why. First, the improvements are noticeable right away. The new screen is brighter and sharper, which makes a huge difference when the kids are playing in handheld mode. Our 12-year-old loves the smoother graphics and faster load times, especially for action games. For the adults, it just feels more polished and modern. What we liked most is how family-friendly it is. With so many of us, the ability to quickly switch between docked mode and handheld is a lifesaver. We can have a group playing Mario Kart on the TV while someone else uses the handheld for homework breaks or quiet time. The upgraded Joy-Cons feel sturdier too—important in a house where controllers get “enthusiastically” used. Multiplayer nights are where the Switch 2 shines. The system handles multiple users and profiles easily. Local multiplayer feels smoother, and online play has been much more stable compared to our old Switch. If we had one complaint, it’s that some of the accessories and extra controllers add up in cost when buying for the family. But the quality of the system itself makes it worth it. Overall, the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a great fit for our large family and especially for our 12-year-old and 9- year old, who use it daily. It’s fast, fun, and flexible—exactly what we needed.

    I recently bought a Nintendo Switch, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! The flexibility of being able to play on the TV or on the go is amazing, and the performance is super smooth. Games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe look great and run flawlessly. The Joy-Cons are fun to use, especially for multiplayer sessions with friends and family. It’s the perfect mix of fun, portability, and great game selection—definitely worth every penny!

    The Switch 2 is everything I hoped for in an upgrade. It has a bigger, sharper screen that makes handheld gaming a lot more immersive, and the new Joy-Cons feel sturdier and more comfortable. Games run smoother and look better, especially docked in 4K. Upgrades packs for Switch games - at least the ones I’ve tried - are worth it. Zelda Breath of the Wild and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom both look incredible. The Switch 2 is backwards compatible, so games that don’t have an upgrade are still playable. Battery life could be better when playing demanding games, and I do wish it had an OLED display like the Switch OLED model. That said, this is a fantastic system that feels like a natural step up from the original.

    The Switch 2 is a strong upgrade with a bigger 1080p screen, sturdier Joy-Con 2 controllers, and smoother performance in both handheld and docked mode (up to 4K). Backward compatibility and launch exclusives like Mario Kart World make it appealing, though battery life is shorter and the $449.99 price is steep. Overall, it’s a polished much better system then the first generation switch.

    Great console, bad battery duration

    I recently got the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle, and overall, I’m very impressed with what Nintendo has delivered this time. The console feels solid and well-built, with a clear emphasis on quality. The Joy-Con 2 controllers have a magnificent magnetic attachment that makes connecting and removing them feel smooth and satisfying – a big upgrade from the original. One of my favorite improvements is the larger screen, which offers bright colors, sharp resolution, and great visibility, even in bright environments. Whether you’re racing in Mario Kart World or exploring another game, the visuals look fantastic. Another major plus is backward compatibility. I love that I can still play my Nintendo Switch 1 games on this new console. It saves money and lets me continue enjoying my old favorites without needing to repurchase anything. As for the Mario Kart World game included in the bundle, it’s an exciting upgrade to the classic. It combines traditional tracks with new, global-inspired courses and adds more online features and challenges that keep the gameplay fresh and competitive. The only concern I have so far is the battery life. While it’s not terrible, I feel it could last longer, especially during longer play sessions in handheld mode. Hopefully, future updates or newer versions improve on this. Final Thoughts: If you’re a Nintendo fan or someone looking for a high-quality, portable gaming console with a strong library of games, the Nintendo Switch 2 – especially with this Mario Kart World bundle – is a great choice. Just be aware of the battery duration if you plan to game on the go for long hours.

    I picked up the Switch 2 with the Mario Kart World bundle and it has been awesome from the start. The Switch 2 is noticeably faster than the original system. Menus load quicker, games start almost instantly, and everything feels smoother overall. The upgraded screen makes a big difference too. Colors look brighter, details are clearer, and it just feels more modern to use whether I’m playing handheld or docked. The new Joy-Cons feel sturdier and more comfortable in the hand. I haven’t had any drifting or connection issues. The whole system feels like a proper upgrade while still keeping everything people loved about the original. Mario Kart World included in the bundle is a great bonus. It plays perfectly on the new hardware with smooth performance and vibrant visuals. It’s one of those games that’s fun whether you’re playing alone or with friends, and having it included makes this bundle feel like a really good value. Setting up the console was quick and simple. Transferring data from my old Switch didn’t take long, and connecting to my TV was plug and play. Storage feels more generous than before and I like that I can still expand it with a microSD card if I need to. Overall, this bundle feels like the best way to jump into the Switch 2. You get the upgraded console plus a top tier game right out of the box. Whether you’re upgrading or buying a Switch for the first time, this is definitely the bundle to go with.

    I love my switch 2~ it's been a few months, still works great, no stick drift or problems. The battery dies fast, but its never been too much of a problem for me personally. Feels much better than a switch 1, although it's a bit heavy. Mario Kart World itself is kinda mid, but I don't regret getting it at a discount with the bundle. The download was pretty seemless when I got it. $500 is a hefty price to pay, but I think it was well worth it~

    As someone coming from the multicolored red and blue Nintendo switch this was a huge upgrade for me. My switch was basically on its last leg and it didn’t make sense for me to buy a replacement or to buy an Oled when I knew the switch 2 was coming out so I held on and just hoped my switch didn’t give out before the release date. Comparing this to my Og switch the screen size and brightness alone was worth it. The quality of the pixels on games are also a huge upgrade. Playing splatoon 3 feels more smooth now for me and the graphics is amazing. Batter life could be better but it also depends on what games you’re playing, I get about 5 hours on splatoon 3, 3 hours on cyberpunk 2077, and 3 hours on Mario kart world.

    Big upgrade from Nintendo

    I’ve been using the Nintendo Switch 2 for a few months now, and honestly, it feels like its what i have been looking for. The first thing I noticed is the screen. It’s brighter, sharper, and the colors look way better than LCD screen and very similar to OLED NS1. Games like Mario World 2 and the new Zelda just pop on this display. Load times are also way faster, which makes jumping into games feel almost instant. Performance-wise, it’s a big step up. Games run smoother and look cleaner, and I haven’t heard the fan spin like a jet engine. When playing on dock, you may hear spin a little since performing on 2k screen and i enjoyed playing Split fiction on it. The new Joy-Cons are surprisingly solid. Better grip, no drift so far, and they feel more durable. Docking and undocking the console is smoother too. Overall, it still feels like a Switch — just finally modern. If you loved the original but always wanted better performance and a better screen, this is the one. I’m really happy with my purchase and honestly didn’t expect it to be this big of a difference.

    Let me preface this by saying that I am not a pc gamer and so I will not be comparing this to any pc handhelds. I primarily purchased this console for the Nintendo exclusives. The Nintendo Switch 2 has met my expectations while disappointing me on some other fronts. I'll begin with the screen. Having been a original switch (non-oled) owner for 6 years, this screen is a MASSIVE upgrade. The brightness is way better, and the "hdr" is a great feature and makes games like TOTK really stand out. The performance is also much improved but this is where I got into my first caveat. The games ONLY look that much better when they A) have a Switch 2 edition or B) have reveved a free switch 2 update. Otherwise you are not going to notice a difference, and because of scaling issues with the larger screen, some games might actually look worse in handheld mode. Another caveat is the battery life. Long story short, you can expect about 2.5 hrs. when playing any game that has been optimized or made for the Switch 2 in handheld mode. However, if you look beyond these minor issues, the console is a great evolution of the original and feels more like a serious computer and competitor to the PS5 than a kids toy.

    Review: Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundl

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Nintendo has done it again, combining the release of its next-generation console, the Nintendo Switch 2, with a killer app to match: Mario Kart World. This bundle is the ultimate introduction to Nintendo’s powerful new system, packing everything you need to dive into an exhilarating and renewed gaming experience. With hardware upgrades, enhanced visuals, and the multiplayer madness of Mario Kart, this bundle sets the gold standard for the next era of gaming. The Nintendo Switch 2 Hardware The Nintendo Switch 2 lives up to its promises and then some. With improved performance thanks to a custom Nvidia chipset, the console offers 4K resolution in docked mode and an OLED screen for handheld play. The visuals are crisp, vibrant, and smooth with frame rates up to 60 FPS — a huge leap from its predecessor. Load times have also been drastically reduced, and players will immediately notice the seamless transition when docking and undocking the console from its TV mode. A much-requested feature — improved Joy-Con design — has been implemented, featuring more ergonomic grips and drift-free analog sticks that feel durable and precise. Battery life also sees a notable improvement, allowing for longer gaming sessions in handheld mode, and the console’s rear kickstand has been redesigned to offer a wider, more stable base. Overall, the Switch 2 hardware exudes quality, making it clear that Nintendo has taken years of player feedback to heart. Mario Kart World: Racing Perfection The standout of this bundle is undoubtedly Mario Kart World, the latest entry in the legendary racing franchise. Expanding on the formula of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, this game offers an incredible graphical overhaul with hyper-realistic tracks, dynamic weather systems, and even more detailed character animations. The courses are varied and exciting, with some of the series’ greatest tracks reimagined alongside new global-themed racetracks inspired by cities like Tokyo, Paris, New York, and Sydney. Mario Kart World truly shines with its revamped multiplayer mode. The game features a new online World Tour mode, where players can compete in global tournaments and weekly challenges for rewards and bragging rights. The addition of customizable vehicles and characters allows even greater personalization, while new power-ups and items keep every race feeling fresh and unpredictable. For the more serious crowd, Nintendo has included an intriguing skill-based Ranked Mode for competitive online play. For those who prefer local multiplayer, the Switch 2’s updated hardware doesn’t disappoint. The hardware’s enhanced Bluetooth capabilities ensure a seamless connection for up to eight players locally, and the OLED screen provides improved shared-screen experiences when playing in tabletop mode. The Bundle Value What sets this package apart is the extra value it offers. The Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle includes the console itself, upgraded Joy-Cons, and a physical or digital copy of Mario Kart World, all for a slight discount compared to purchasing everything separately. To sweeten the deal, Nintendo has also added some bonus perks, including exclusive in-game content: a stylish new kart, a one-month free trial of Nintendo Switch Online+, and custom Joy-Con grips featuring a Mario and Yoshi design for the ultimate themed experience. What’s Not So Perfect As with any new console bundle, the price is likely to be a bit steep, especially for players upgrading from the existing Switch. While Mario Kart World is a phenomenal showcase for the system, it’s still an iteration on an already polished formula, and some fans might be craving a greater leap in innovation. Additionally, supply constraints could make this bundle tricky to get your hands on during its initial launch. Conclusion The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle is a standout starting point for gamers diving into Nintendo’s latest generation of gaming. Packed with hardware improvements, enhanced portability, and the endlessly fun racing experience of Mario Kart World, it’s a bundle that delivers both value and excitement. Existing Switch users may hesitate to upgrade, but the improved visuals, faster performance, and new features make this bundle a strong contender for gamers ready to step into Nintendo’s next chapter.
