Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Nintendo Switch 2 on launch night at Best Buy in Big Flats, NY. The staff did a great job keeping things organized and moving, even with a busy crowd. After a few days of use, I can say the system feels like a meaningful step forward. The performance is noticeably better—games load quicker and run more smoothly overall. The updated Joy-Cons feel sturdier and more comfortable in-hand, and the new kickstand is a nice improvement for tabletop play. I also appreciated that it's compatible with my existing Switch library, so I could jump right back into my favorite games without any hassle. The new titles available at launch are promising and show off what the system can do. Overall, I’m glad I upgraded. It’s not a radical departure from the original, but it improves on enough things to make it worthwhile for regular Switch users.

Bought this system for my kids for christmas.This year so i'm giving it a five out of five because I have played it.And it is nice.I love.How the screen is big?I love how easy you can download things. The only thing that I do not like is I have other switches, and I can only share an account with one other system. So that being said, if you are a nintendo family and you buy the download games and you have multiple downloads.You can't download them on a third system.You can only have them on two systems.to play

The game is awesome, I love the bigger screen as well. Flawless. Only thing I don’t like is that the battery life is not all that great in handheld mode but it’s not bad either.

Switch 2 – Worth Every Penny! I just got my hands on the Nintendo Switch 2 from Best Buy, and wow—this thing is a beast! The upgraded visuals are jaw-dropping, and the speed boost makes everything feel so snappy. I’ve been diving into my favorite games and the experience is smoother, brighter, and more immersive than ever. The new Joy-Cons feel like they were made for my hands, and the battery life? Chef’s kiss. Best Buy nailed it with fast shipping and great packaging. If you're on the fence, jump off—it’s totally worth it.

The Nintendo Switch 2 takes everything players loved about the original and elevates it into a smoother, more powerful, and more immersive experience. It’s not just an upgrade — it feels like a confident next step in hybrid gaming. Highly recommended!

I know the release of this console has been somewhat controversial, but I am absolutely in love with my Switch 2. It improves on the original switch in every way and every game runs better on this thing. I have played it every day for the last four months and have appreciated the changes to hardware as well. There have been some great exclusive titles so far with many more to come. If you have the original switch and you feel it’s showing its age, come on over. You won’t regret it.

Amazing console with perfect size of screen at par in graphics a great choice to play on tv or on the go

My grandson collapsed with joy when he opened this Christmas gift! At 8 years old, he's very tech savvy and loves his Switch 2. Now, I'm the # 1 Grandma. Best Buy gave me the best deal & it's the best money I've ever spent!

Build quality is greatly improved over previous Switch models. Performance is solid all around, holding a steady 120 fps with the Breath of the Wild Switch 2 edition/upgrade. Not many games to use as a baseline for its long-term prospects, but if you have a decent catalog already and are looking for an upgrade, it may be worth considering. This will largely depend on your budget as Nintendo games rarely go on sale. Even Breath of the Wild is still full priced after over 8 years. While Nintendo overall creates high quality software, it feels unreasonable to keep prices the same as the day it launched nearly a decade later.

I was really expecting a lot more for the hefty price tag. I was met with a slightly heftier and durable device with a slightly larger screen compared to the large size of the device itself. The battery life is just as bad as the original which was where I would’ve preferred better quality for handheld play.

Overall a solid upgrade if you be coming from switch 1 or lite. A little more expensive but has the power to justify its upgrade price, 120 hz lcd panel less likely to oled burn in and games from previous gen run smoothly. Loving the backwards compatibility but a screen protector is 100% recommended to have the plastic film they place on this console is very scratch able. Still using old joycon controller tech sadly but upside is 240ish gb memory system storage

Absolutely loving the Switch 2 so far! The performance is smooth, graphics are noticeably improved, and the overall build quality feels premium. Setup was easy, gameplay is fast and responsive, and it’s a huge upgrade from the original Switch. Totally worth the purchase.

Say what you want about the high prices. Def helped to get the Mario Kart bundle. Transferring data from Switch 1 to Switch 2 was a bit tedious but very doable. Great system overall and improves on just about everything from the Switch 1. Highly recommend DK Bananza as well!

With many handhelds entering the market this one isby far the most polished. Growing library and access to the previous generation games makes it a must buy

Great new system, awesome graphics, bigger screen.

I particularly enjoy using this product on the daily. I’m one of the few people who have never owned a switch console, so I haven’t much to compare it to, however what I can say is I am thoroughly happy with the Switch 2, particularly when it is connected to a capable 4K display. It takes care of the fast battery drainage problem I noticed, though it could just be a software issue. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys handheld consoles. The only regret I have is not waiting until the Pokemon Z-A switch 2 bundle.

Excellent new Nintendo system. The controllers are much better for sensitivity and durability. It's easy to startup and transfer accounts. Wish it was cheaper but with how much my family uses this on weekends, worth buying. They do need to increase its standard storage capacity.

Works great so far. Bigger and better than the original.

The switch 2 is exactly what it is, a decent upgrade to the system but not exactly a whole new system. It's much better design then the first and plays games better and faster

Great new Nintendo hours of fun great graphics and large screen
