Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch 2 is a big improvement on the first one in MOST ways. Its biggest shortcoming is the battery life. This thing drains FAST! I think I get an hour of gameplay at most before I have to plug it in. Despite this, the visual fidelity is improved on, and the games run smoothly thus far. I am also a really big fan of the size. I have really big hands, so for me it’s quite comfortable. I know that won’t be the same for everyone though. Overall, pretty fun system! Also you are REALLY gonna want to buy one of those Express SD Cards. I know the system already comes with 256GB of storage, but if you are transferring your old Switch data to the new one, then I imagine that will run low pretty quickly. I wouldn’t get anything lower than a 512 GB one. Just some advice. Do with it what you may.

I had high expectations and waited so long for this console, and I can say those expectations were not only met but surpassed. The hardware itself overall is just a much more premium and nicer feeling experience. The new Joy-cons are a huge improvement over the originals. Bigger, higher quality buttons, and just a better more satisfying ergonomic feel, especially when playing in handheld. The way they just snap onto the magnetic rails is just pure magic. Perfectly satisfying and super seamless. The screen itself is once again a huge improvement. Not an OLED, but the increased resolution and overall higher quality LCD display looks miles better than the original Switch 1 display. There’s so many more small Improvements as well like bigger SR SL buttons, better kickstand, better dock design, and much much better built in speakers. I seriously respect the incredibly talented engineers who designed it all as it’s clear a lot of care and effort went into its design. With the original switch I mostly played dock as I felt handheld was an inferior experience compared to dock play. I’m so glad with the switch 2 that the experience in dock and handheld is much closer, so I find myself switching between them more and it’s even more seamless in that both dock and handheld feel like a high-quality gaming experience. It really feels like the vision of the switch is now fully realized when I play in handheld and it genuinely feels like I’m having a full TV console level experience, but in the palm of my hands. It’s nothing short of magic. Of course, the games are what’s most important and, yep, Mario Kart World alone makes this console worth it. It’s a magical gaming experience like no other. It’s so much fun. Then there’s also the fact that pretty much every game from your switch 1 collection is compatible and many games run even better, which I feel adds SO much value to the console. The performance across many different games is fantastic, just super crisp and buttery smooth. There's also so many more fantastic games coming this year that I'm excited for like DK bananaza, Metroid prime 4, Hyrule warriors: Age of imprisonment, and more. The only problem I can think of with It is that HDR calibration was a bit tricky and annoying. Then again, I now know it’s because I have an older 2019 4k TV. If it was a modern one that had HDR tone mapping, it would have been much easier so it’s not even a Switch 2 specific problem. That’s it really. I still can’t believe it myself just how perfect this console is. It’s the Switch perfected in every way. I genuinely believe this is the most fun and joyful device ever made.

I Went to gamestop first to attempt to buy my mario kart world bundle because thats the only franchise i buy my consoles and games from even play n trade but they went out of business. So Due to bad experiences with gamestop i went next door to best buy and maannn i dont regret my decision what so ever the retailers who helped me that worked in the homewood/glenwood area of Illinois were so nice, kind and very patient so if i need to buy anything else in the future i will be back to that specific location for sure. They didn’t have none in stock so it was shipped to me Package was delivered today few hours ago, setting it up was a breeze, downloaded the game from eshop as seen online and I haven’t been able to put it down since taking it out the box. I absolutely dont regret buying my FIRST EVER SWITCH

Work as intended, don't worry about not having a code on the box. The system is tide to get the game via Nintendo eshop Having more storage would definitely help, especially with games and the amount of space they take.

My daughter is thrilled with the Nintendo Switch 2. Everything works perfectly, and Mario Kart World is especially fun for us, particularly when we play on the TV—it looks amazing! She loves playing with it in the car. I highly recommend it. To avoid running out of power on the Nintendo, I suggest keeping a power bank in the car. I bought a very inexpensive case at Best Buy, and it's been working perfectly so far.

I'm loving the bigger screen and Joy cons on the Switch 2. Everything about the system seems better than the original Switch. My only complaints are that with the size increase it is a little more awkward to hold for longer periods if that's how's you play it and the battery could stand to be a bit better. Can't do half stars though so I stuck with 5 stars based on all the other improvements making this console worth the upgrade.

An excellent successor to the original Switch console. It takes everything awesome about the original and adds some new features and QoL uodates to keep the avid Nintendo fan happy. Over 60+ hours of playtime with the new system already and it performs like a dream, with a larger screen, buttons, and an extra USB-C port for charging/ accessories. With more Switch 2 updates for last gen games likely coming in the future, it adds a lot of value with performance improvements in certain games and the eshop is night day compared to the original switch, with next to no waiting around for it to load.

What you would expect a switch but with better, bigger screen, a better display than the original switch, no oled model yet but not a huge dealbreaker in my opinion and a much more powerful console overall, only wish the battery was better

Love the upgraded graphics and processing. Does multiplayer flawlessly. Have had no issues with backwards compatibility. Upgraded screen size is a plus.

Like everyone has said, it is the Switch 1 but better in every way. The screen is much larger, but it is still easy to handle. Games play so much better and I am very happy.

Excellent game for grandkids. Great size and great product. Easy to handle and carry anywhere they go. I would recommend this game bundle for all ages. Satisfied customer.

I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 for my son, and he absolutely loves it. It’s become one of his favorite ways to play, whether he’s using it at home or taking it with him on the go. He picked it up quickly and has had no trouble navigating the system or starting games on his own. What I like as a parent is how smooth and reliable it has been. The system runs well, games look great, and it’s easy to switch between handheld and docked modes. The console feels solid and well-built, which gives me confidence it will hold up to regular use. Overall, this has been a great purchase. Seeing how much my son enjoys it makes it worth it, and I would definitely recommend it to other parents looking for a fun and versatile gaming system for their kids.

I’m loving my switch too. I had this switch one and I was able to use the Best Buy trade-in program to put it towards a gift card for the switch to Best Buy actually paid more money than anybody else around would pay for the switch one we love the switch to the screen is a lot bigger. It’s really nice for traveling on the plane. I enjoy the new controller too, and how the joy cons just magnet on versus having to slide in and out all around a great product worth the upgrade from the first version.

As a long time Playstation owner, I was pleasantly surprised by the Switch 2 - it's got more going for it than I would have thought. My partner and I have had a blast playing Mario Kart World and DK Banaza. Games look great, play great, and the portability factor is a plus. Would definitely recommend it you are looking to play games on the go, or if you want to play with younger family members. Nintendo commitment to quality shines through.

Good console, fun game, decent price for what it is! The new screen is bigger & the graphics are very good as well. I like how the controllers are magnetic & have a button you press to pull them off (so they don’t just fall off) instead of the slide on the original switch, overall good purchase, very fun for family game night!

This Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart bundle exceeded my expectations! The improved hardware feels noticeably faster with crisp visuals, and Mario Kart loads quickly and runs super smooth. The Joy-Cons have great responsiveness with minimal drift — definitely an upgrade. I love the versatility of docking it to play on my TV or using it handheld. Battery life easily lasts through long sessions. Great bundle, especially with Mario Kart included!

I absolutely love the Nintendo switch 2. I’ve been team PlayStation for over 25 years and I can honestly say this system has some innovative features! The fact that you can play it 3 different ways is innovative on its own. It can be docked (connected to play) on the tv screen, handheld (play on the small screen) or you can just pull out the kickstand behind the switch screen to prop up the screen (you can disconnect the controllers on the side and both attachments turn into 2 controllers). I was mind blown. The Switch really took play anywhere to another level. I didn’t have a Switch 1 but I have no complaints about the Switch 2 so maybe they worked out the kinks and made a great console. The switch 2 doesn’t have a lot of new games but all the switch 1 games work on the switch 2. Including the switch 1 controllers… you just have to pair it. I personally bought the pro controller and switched “A and B buttons” in the system settings because I was so used to the traditional PlayStation controller. At first it was a learning curve but after I made action and back bottoms on the controller work like the PlayStation I was having a great time!!! Great investment. Another recommendation is a portable charger if you plan to have it on the go all the time. I’ve only heard the battery lasts about 4hrs. The most I can play a game is about 1.5hrs maybe 2… then I’m ready to be productive in life. I played for a hour and the battery went down only 23%. I just put it on the dock to change until next time. The controllers charge there too. Connect everything and dock it and your golden. However, If you’re a 5 -8 hr gamer keep that in mind. Another great feature is the dock takes up a small footprint. It’s about 6-8 inches max compared to PlayStations’ console looking like an old school thick encyclopedia- game console still well worth it by the way! Last night I just found out there’s an online feature where you can download all the classic Nintendo games from old Nintendo game boy advanced, game boy, game boy color, sega genesis, and Nintendo’s pixelated arcade era FOR FREE! Some require a $2 fee… some you can only play if you subscribe to the online membership. There’s a 7 day trial to check it out. If you’re a serious gamer $40 a year is well worth it to have all the Nintendo classics on your new 2025 console. I personally only downloaded Tetris but theres Pokémon snap, Pokémon stadium, bajo tootsie… all the Mario’s ever created on each Nintendo system….. the list goes on. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks and I still haven’t gone into all the features. Oh and you NEED A MICRO SD EXPRESS for saving the games!!!! Regular micro SD won’t be fast enough. The switch 2 has a temper glass already on it but it scratches. I’d recommend a screen protector as soon as it comes out the box to protect your investment… or not.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a magnificent leap forward that manages to feel both familiar and brand new. While it retains the core hybrid concept that made the original so beloved, every aspect has been refined and upgraded, making it a truly exceptional console. For those looking for the definitive portable gaming experience, the Switch 2, especially bundled with the brilliant Mario Kart World, is a fantastic purchase. The most noticeable improvements are in the hardware and build quality. The console feels sturdier and more premium than its predecessor, with a refined design that is both elegant and durable. The new, bigger 7.9-inch screen is a major highlight, offering a sharp 1080p resolution and a vibrant display that makes games look absolutely gorgeous in handheld mode. This is a huge upgrade from the original Switch and makes a world of difference. The new speed and graphics are a game-changer. The custom NVIDIA chip delivers a massive performance boost, allowing for faster loading times and more fluid gameplay. Games look significantly better, with enhanced visuals and smoother frame rates that breathe new life into both new and backward-compatible titles. The bundled Mario Kart World is the perfect showcase for this power, with its stunning graphics and dynamic courses. The console is a testament to Nintendo's genius, providing an overdue but well-executed upgrade that feels more polished, powerful, and fun than ever before.

Coming over from the Steam Deck OLED, I wasn’t sure what to expect — but the Nintendo Switch 2 has absolutely blown me away. From the moment I powered it on, it was clear that this is more than just a sequel — it’s a complete reimagining of what portable gaming can be. Performance-wise, the Switch 2 is a beast. Games that previously struggled to maintain 30 FPS now run buttery smooth at 60 FPS, and load times are dramatically reduced. Titles like Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Smash Ultimate don’t just play better — they feel like upgraded versions, all thanks to the improved internals. One of the biggest surprises for me has been the backwards compatibility. My entire digital Switch library carried over effortlessly, and many of those games now run better out of the box — higher frame rates, more stability, and just an overall smoother experience. No re-buying, no hassle — just better performance. As someone used to the heft and size of the Steam Deck, I was amazed by how portable and comfortable the Switch 2 is. It’s lighter, more ergonomic, and the battery life feels significantly improved. The handheld mode is a dream — I can game for hours without hand fatigue, and the display is sharp, vibrant, and super immersive. In short: the Switch 2 is everything I hoped for and more. It honors your existing library, packs a serious punch in performance, and redefines what a hybrid console can be. If you’re on the fence, especially coming from something like a Steam Deck — this is 100% worth the upgrade. Nintendo absolutely nailed it.

Mario Kart World bundle has been a blast! The console’s 7.9″ vibrant screen and powerful hardware make games look great in handheld and docked modes, and performance is smooth whether you’re racing or exploring other titles. Mario Kart World is a fun, fresh take on the classic racing series with seamless world design and up to 24‑player races that keep every session exciting. The included Joy‑Con 2 controllers feel comfortable, and the overall package delivers excellent value. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a versatile gaming system with a great launch title
