Customer Ratings & Reviews

So much better than the first switch! This one runs so smooth and feels and looks great. Me and the wife play on it all the time handheld mode and we love the bulit in mic when playing with friends. Tv mode is amazing but we mostly bought it for handheld mode. I would buy more if i had the money lol

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great console. I like the upgraded graphics and that it’s faster when scrolling through the eshop. It is a good deal with the Mario Kart included since it’s a $80 game so you save $30. One of the few things this new system is lacking is new games when it first came out. It should have came out with DK banaza to go along with Mario Kart because Mario Kart was is a short game but the graphics are really good and it is a fun game. The great thing about the Nintendo Switch 2 is that it backwards compatible. One other thing about Nintendo is that they should make more physical game cartridges and get rid of the game key cards. Digital is ok but I’d rather have a physical copy or digital copy because you can’t play the game if you don’t have game key cartridge in the system if you want to play a game that is game key cartridge and if you have digital version there’s no need to worry about it you have game key cartridge. Having physical games available is what gives a better experience when buying new video games. People want something to look at and hold and is better for those who like to trade or collect. But overall the Nintendo Switch 2 is a good console which I believe will be even better with time as new Nintendo Switch 2 games are released that take advantage of the new systems hardware. I ask Nintendo to please take their time with pokemon generation 10 and other future legends games because when you make the graphics not just for the pokemon but for the environment better you’ll see better feedback and sales. Also if possible make different difficulty modes like easy/normal/hard would make the games more challenging and fun. Also making good music for the games will be Make the games more fun! I look forward to the new Yoshi and hope to see a new Mario maker 3 , new 2d Mario and also don’t forget about Starfox !! Star fox was missed last generation and would help give the other IPs a break . A brand new starfox in 4K would be awesome and addition to starfox zero remaster in 4K with adjustment of controls because Wii U was a little awkward and star fox 64 remake !

I only purchased it because i wanted the updated graphics on BOTW/TOTK It was worth it . The texture and lighting as well as everything else. Added 4k when docked and a crisp 1080p in handheld. Battery last about 3 hours or so. Price of wanting more power i guess. There adding an exclusive FromSoftware videogame called blood dusk and thats another added reason why i got this.

My son is obsessed! After many years of owning the original Switch we upgraded to the newest model and he has been playing non-stop! He loves the improved graphics and larger screen. Was a great buy!

We love the switch 2. The new Mario kart makes it worth it and the screen size is nice. Controllers are different from the original switch which we like. We play this as a family a lot. So far it’s great.

I picked up the console at launch. Definitely an overall improvement from the first Switch. The performance is better, the controllers feel nice, and transferring data from an old switch is extremely easy. However, the products for the Switch 2 (including many of the games) are very pricy. Expect a $70+ price tag on first party Nintendo games for this console, and don't expect them to go on sale. The durability of the console is excellent in terms of functionality (excluding joycon drift). However, the console is extremely prone to cosmetic damage. The built-in screen protector is extremely easy to scratch. Even a fingernail can cause permanent cosmetic damage to the plastic screen. Get a glass screen protector if you plan on traveling a lot with the console (do not remove the plastic screen protector). If you are buying this for your children, please do not let them try to modify the console or the software whatsoever. I did that with the Wii and 3DS as a child and faced no consequences. However, this console is different. Nintendo WILL ban you permanently from many of their services if they catch you trying to modify anything on the console.

Cool device. I like the bigger screen. Kids love that i comes with mariokart world. Little bit expensive in my opinion. Definitely better performance than the forst switch.

Everyone is right, the price is a little insane. I did upgrade from the original switch however and I absolutely love the 2. I think the Mario kart bundle is the way to go if you love Mario kart. I do wish it came with more personalized stuff as it is a bundle, so usually they do fun stuff with those. I also with the accessories weren't a million dollars to just get new joycons or a dang racing wheel. I love the screen and the joycons. The updated games are really fun to play. I think switch just makes it a one stop shop for these games as most people don't know how to play games on other devices at a better quality.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle delivers an impressive next-generation experience while keeping the hybrid charm that made the original Switch so popular. With faster performance, sharper visuals, and seamless handheld-to-TV transitions, it feels like a true upgrade. *Mario Kart World*, the included game, expands the classic racing formula with open-world elements and polished multiplayer that runs smoothly even in chaotic races. While some players wish for more post-game content and full open-world multiplayer freedom, the bundle still offers great value and a fun, energetic showcase of what the new console can do.

The switch 2 is Nintendo’s most iterative console in decades; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The original switch was nearly a perfect console and the switch 2 improves on its predecessor in nearly every metric focusing specifically on performance. It has dramatically increased ram, storage and a much more powerful gpu. Excited to see what 1st party Nintendo devs can do with this new hardware. The console also feels more premium in hand with a a better build quality and screen is also brighter. My only complaints are the lack of an oled screen, middling battery life and frankly terrible ergonomics in handheld mode

I love everything about the Switch 2: 1) The bigger & faster screen, 2) The more comfortable joy-cons, 3) The faster frame-rates and higher resolution in games. I think that is price difference is definitely warranted (when comparing it to the Steamdeck, ROG Ally, etc.)

Been playing this every day since getting it, the upgrade is much better than I thought from the original switch. The larger screen and refreshed joycons make it a lot more satisfying to play handheld.

I haven’t play any of the Mario, Zelda and Do key King games. The ones I did play were on the SNES and GameCube like Mario Sunshine. I bought a Wii, but really didn’t play it. Anyways, I missed playing the classic games and bought this Switch 2. I picked here on Best Buy because it was the one offering Mario Car on the bundle and no other store did. I bought it the switch 2 and got me the subscription to play some of the classics and so far I been enjoying myself a lot. The reason I wanted a switch was to play the classics and some old games and because there are times that I don’t want to seat and play games and just want to lay on bed and instead of looking at my phone, play some games online and that’s what the switch brought to me and even if I want to play it on a big screen, the switch provide me with that option too. A friend told me I could had bought the PS5, but I got the PS4 and still haven’t play all the games that I got on my PS4, so a PS5 isn’t that appealing to me right now.

I like the new size for the Switch and the magnetic Joy Cons. Much easier and user friendly than needing to slide them on and off. The bundle is the way to go if you are a Mario Kart fan. You are saving $30 off the regular price of the game. The graphics are good, but I don't notice much of a difference. Sound is better as well.

An excellent console, now bring on the games!! Many improvements over the original in every way imaginable. Feels more premium, has a better screen, the buttons are bigger, decent battery life, magnetic joy cons are amazing. I can’t wait to see what comes out for this thing in the future.

Nintendo Switch 2 is a much wanted item. Larger screen and great graphics. Best Buy had this in stock for my grandson and son. This brought so much joy to the young and old.

Love the Nintendo Switch 2, despite there being only one Nintendo game at launch they delivered in being able to play switch 1 games, like both Zelda’s and free updates to others to make them more standard for 2025. When I heard about the Switch 2, all I really cared about is that it was just a better switch, so those games that didn’t run well on the original switch can now hit their frame caps. Another thing about the Switch 2 I wanna mention is that it has this new mouse mode for games that play better with a mouse, Which was really cool and puts it over Playstation and Xbox in my eyes. The Joycons themselves are okay, definitely better than the old ones for the Switch 1, the sticks are a bit too sensitive. The GameChat and built in Microphone into the Switch 2 works really well and sounds great, it filters out background noises and you can even talk from super far away and your pals will be able to hear you great. Mario Kart World is a great switch 2 game and excites me for the new ones to come, a perfect example of a great nintendo game. The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great package especially if you get Mario Kart World with it, definitely worth it.

Switch 2 is an excellent console for both kids and adults. We’re having a great time with it and have deemed it a worthy follow up to the original Switch console. The big screen helps a lot for older family members with visibility issues and the joycons are very comfortable. I haven’t noticed any drift yet but we’ll see.

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.

Great release of the Switch 2! Visuals are stunning and gameplay feels smooth. I’ve enjoyed Nintendo games all my life and playing future Nintendo games with this updated tech has me stoked. Only disappointment console-wise is the battery life. To this, the Switch 2 feels like a catch-up with other consoles and handhelds (namely the Steam Deck). Doesn’t have that feel of exceeding current tech. If you’re a big Nintendo fan, make plans to get it. If you’re not that into Nintendo games but enjoy video games in general, may need to put more thought into purchasing.
