Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t a radical reinvention, but it’s the kind of steady, smart upgrade longtime fans were waiting for. From improved visuals to expanded storage and refined controls, it feels like a more polished, future-proofed version of the original hybrid console. **Display & Visuals** The biggest everyday difference comes from the new OLED+ screen. Games look crisper, colors pop more vibrantly, and there’s noticeably less motion blur in fast-paced titles. Whether docked or handheld, the Switch 2 pushes higher resolutions and smoother frame rates, especially with first-party games optimized for the new hardware. **Storage & Performance** Nintendo finally addressed one of the original Switch’s biggest pain points: storage. With a default 256GB internal memory, most players won’t immediately feel forced to buy a microSD card. Load times are quicker, thanks to both the upgraded processor and faster internal memory, making switching between games and apps feel much snappier. **Battery & Build** Battery life holds up surprisingly well, considering the performance jump. On average, I got around 5–6 hours playing games like Tears of the Kingdom. The console feels sturdier too—joy-con drift hasn’t been an issue so far, and the new magnetic kickstand is genuinely useful. **Final Thoughts** If you already have a Switch OLED and mostly play docked, this may feel like a minor step up. But for handheld-first players or those still using the launch model, Switch 2 feels like what the original Switch always wanted to be: better picture, better storage, better overall.

Long overdue upgrade to the Nintendo Switch! Some say it's too expensive. But considering how the original Switch was around for nearly a decade, I'd say it's a pretty good deal if you break it down to a year-by-year cost! While the new system doesn't break a whole lot of new ground, aside from the mouse controls that might be used by some games, the upgrades keep Nintendo up to date with the most essential new TV and video game graphics technology. Playing more advanced games on the go, with a larger and much-improved screen from the original Switch is great. I also love that it's backward compatible with games and controllers from the original Switch! I suddenly have a great four-player setup thanks to the ability to use my old Joy-Cons. The bundled Mario Kart World is a perfect escape from today's reality. There's so much going on in each course, it's like playing an amusement park ride. Of course, the real test will be how good the games not yet released will be. So far indications are good we'll have some winners. I'm looking forward to Donkey Kong Bananza and Metroid Prime 4, among others. Nintendo's got a good track record, so fans of their games likely have nothing to worry about.

My daughter has been saving up for this. She got over halfway and asked if I could put in the rest for a birthday present. So I did. She absolutely loves it! The handheld is bigger than the old one. Tge graphics are awesome on the tv. It loads a lot faster as well. After seeing how great it is now I want one too.

Thought it was ugly when I first saw the videos of it being announced. Absolutely love it when I got to hold it for the first time. Never leave the house without it. So much better than the Nintendo switch and oled much better quality and bigger screen!!

The Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World is a no-brainer pickup for anyone looking to buy both. The bundle comes with everything plus a digital download code and is very worth priced. The game is super fun and actually really well made. The console is a good upgrade tech wise and is well made in quality. While the graphics may not be a PS5 or Xbox Series quality, the handheld is super impressive for being not that big and with backwards compatibility, makes a good pickup. The console is impressive for the size, and compared to others on the market, portability is appreciated and therefore justified the price for me. Overall, i would recommend this console to people who are fans and need it. If you dont want it now, a price drop or sale would justify a pickup later on if you don't plan on purchasing now.

Such an upgrade compared to my switch oled. Loading times, graphics, bigger screen and controls and l so much more. Play switch 1 games so much better. If you are on the fence just do it you won't regret it. Now that the switch oled has a price increase just pay the extra for the switch 2. Or if you have an oled just sell it and covee some of the cost of the switch 2.

Much larger than I had expected when compared to original switch. Controllers that snap on and off is 100% better as well. Compatible with original games was so important. Really think this is an amazing upgrade and though it's a bit pricey, i feel it's worth it if you're invested in the switch already.

The console is a direct improvement over the original. More base memory; bigger screen; dual plugs for charging and accessories; and better performance. Everything that the original Nintendo Switch was, the Switch 2 is better at. A definite must buy if you enjoy Nintendo games.

it’s only been a bit over a week since release and i find the NS2 to be really nice. all of the switch games that might have run a little funny (like certain parts in the newest zeldas) run beautifully on this even if you don’t get the game upgrade. the screen is bigger and brighter and the joycons are much sturdier feeling. i have no complaints and i don’t expect to have any for a while, if at all. if you like the switch - this one is def a good upgrade.

Amazing console! Once I had it in my hands I could tell that it is way more than just a "Nintendo Switch Pro". It is fast, versatile, it has a beautiful screen that has nothing to envy an OLED. This is in another label and in my opinion it is worth the price. The battery life is the only downside in my opinion, but it won't stop me from giving this thing a 5 star review!

Feels like a premium product. Its impressive screen stands out right away. Somehow it comes across as "this is what Switch is meant to be." Games at 60fps are NICE. And sharp graphics are very welcome. It is a little bit expensive considering Nintendo is generally your more accessible family console, but knowing the hardware here it's pretty reasonable.

Only 4 stars cause battery is short but when it’s docked it’s beautiful and when it’s not it’s a nice large screen.

This is my first Nintendo System since the Wii. I play mostly in handheld mode but even on a 4k tv it looks and plays great. The only area I would improve is the battery. I do think a slightly larger battery would be a benefit. I feel like I am plugging in a bit more than my Steam Deck, likely due to the much larger screen. Overall great purchase.

The Switch 2 is the best Nintendo console, yet. It is 10 times more comfortable than the original switch. It also has more space to download games. The nintendo switch games finaly run smoothly, so i was finally able to play games like pokemon Violet without lag. But its lack of themes draws it back. The 3ds had about 10 different colors to choose from. So if in a future update we get more themes, it will make the home menu more enjoyable. My only other complaint is its battery is bad, but when it gets down to one percent, I can play for another hour before it dies, so hopefully, in a future update, nintendo fixes that. But 4.5 stars best video game console of all yet, and if nintendo fixes the few problems, it will be 5 stars

The Switch 2 is a massive upgrade over the Switch, whether that be the first edition, Lite, or even the OLED version. I've noticed improved performance in many games, like Xenoblade 3, Pokemon Violet, super steady 30fps on Fire Emblem 3 houses, faster load times on many other switch 1 titles as well. Of course, playing an actual Switch 2 game is where the console shines brightest. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Zelda BOTW and TOTK switch 2 versions are incredible. I do wish there were more switch 2 games at launch, though, many are coming soon and next year. Overall, very happy! If you for sure are itching to play any switch 2 games and its within budget, do it! If the current titles, or the upcoming Legends ZA Pokémon game doesn’t excite you much, hold off for now until the library does expand.

The Switch 2 is a major upgrade from the Nintendo Switch OLED. It has a bigger screen, can handle bigger games and is a joy to play Mario Kart with friends and family! This bundle is worth it because you get the game cheaper than you would’ve if you bought it separately.

It's good, better graphics, bigger screen. Only downside is slightly less battery life

A huge upgrade from the original Switch. The way the joycons are magnetic is amazing. The screen size and clarity is vey nice. I would recommend this to anyone into gaming.
