    I’m super excited to share that after all the waiting, I finally got my hands on the Nintendo Switch 2! My first impressions after picking it up from Best Buy are absolutely fantastic. it’s clear that Nintendo has created a wonderful successor. You can really see the upgrades right away. The larger, more vibrant screen is the first thing that grabs your attention. Even though it’s not an OLED, the LCD quality is really impressive, giving a noticeable boost in visual quality for both new games and those classic Switch titles. Revisiting games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom feels like a whole new experience thanks to smoother frame rates and faster load times!

    I was able to upgrade to this from the original switch. It’s a HUGE upgrade. The performance is night and day. The screen looks great and games look awesome with the Switch 2 update.

    The features of this compared to the first switch have improved tremendously. The larger size is still portable. The controllers are souch smoother in the hands and connect to the main device even better with the magnet to secure and the button to release. The screen resolution is noticeably better and has more clarity than the original device. All of these new features improved on the original device and makes it well worth the money!

    A nice, but not absolutely necessary upgrade

    Switch 2 is a nice upgrade from Switch 1. Went to midnight launch event and found that more "fun" than the actual Switch 2 itself. In time with newer games released for it I think it will shine but not a 100% necessary upgrade. Screen is nice, larger joy cons are also very appreciated. Speakers are nice as well in handheld. I'm not sure I fully appreciate the "surround sound" Nintendo touts. Build quality seems on par with Nintendo products. Battery is challenging - I mostly play in docked but Switch 1 definitely had longer handheld time. If you need/want the "latest" and "greatest" then sure, upgrade, but if you have a Switch 1 and would be taking debt to buy this, then hold off for now.

    I'm more of a casual gamer and I love my switch! The bigger screen looks flawless and the touchscreen works well even with a tempered glass screen protector. Sometimes it is a little big for me to hold but the included joycon controller is perfect for me!

    I had the first Switch since it came out. Loved it. Bought many games for it for my kids and I. The switch 2 is a huge upgrade. The display alone makes the upgrade worth it. It is a lot easier to play games on it instead of having to doc it to the tv. I find myself rarely doing that actually. I would definitely recommend upgrading if you are able to do so.

    Best portable device EVER!!! So so so glad I had the opportunity to pre-order the NS2 Mario bundle for my wife. Seeing her light up after opening it was definitely worth it! The quality is unmatched, graphical fidelity is superb, I would recommend it to any casual or hardcore gamer!

    The Switch 2 feels like a completely different platfom than the Switch. It works so much more flawlessly than the first one. The Best Buy that I purchased my console from was extremely helpful, and made my trip to Best Buy verysmooth!

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is a big leap forward over the Switch 1. As an owner of both, I love my new Nintendo Switch 2! All my original games work on the new console, including my Pro Controller. Some of the games have even been upgraded for Switch 2 with better graphics. Mario Kart World is an essential Switch 2 experience.l Everyone who gets this console should get Mario Kart World! My biggest disappointment was the change with the MicroSD cards. A new type of card is required; thus, I could not carry forward the original external storage card I used on my Switch 1.

    I am more than happy with my NS2. It was a great bday gift to myself. I enjoy playing it most with my 5 year old son, who loves Mario. We play a plethora of Mario games together and I even got him into Zelda. Whether its on the big screen or handheld, I just couldn’t have asked for a better gaming console. Very versatile, great game options and enhaced graphics makes this an easy chose as my go to gaming system. Well done Nintendo and thank you Best Buy for having it in stock when none else did. 10/10

    I bought this 100% expecting the worse based off other reviews. Well if there is one thing I learned in this world, its to not listem to all the bad reviews since most people are hard to please and expecr the world. The screen looks amazing even after coming frol the Switch OLED. Colors look nice and gameplay is alot smoother. Ive tested the new Madden 26 and was very skeptical but again, I read reviews saying it was "unplayable" when it actually is. I have a steam deck OLED but ive caught myself playing on the switch alot more frequently lately. Also the docked quality on some games looks amazing. Its so nice to finally play some nintendo games at 4k resolution. If your skeptical of purchasing this, id say try it out for yourself and see if it meets YOUR needs. Im glad I did, because its definitely met mine. Happy Gaming!

    Amazing! Love how big the screen is, and how crystal clear the picture is. Only con that i can tell is the amount of play time which is 2 and a half hours. Charging is a breeze though. Glad i got the mario cart bundle as well

    Backward compatibility

    Much larger display that the switch 1. Which can make it more difficult to hold and play for some. I like the fact that it has backwards compatibility and I think the graphics are improved. I think it is priced a bit high, but if you trade in a previous model as I did at BestBuy, it makes the price a little easier to deal with. Unless you need your previous switch, it is nice that this will continue to play them.

    The console is a great upgrade from the switch. I’m primarily a handheld user and the extra screen size is noticeable. The updated joycons are leagues better. Not too many 1st party games yet but the ones that do exist are great.
