Excellent upgrade from my Switch 1. Screen is bright and sharp, and the system is snappy and intuitive. Plays Legends ZA like a dream which is all I could ask for.

I’ve had the Nintendo Switch 2 for a few weeks now, and honestly, it’s everything I hoped the next Switch would be. It feels familiar but way more powerful and polished.
The new screen is absolutely gorgeous — brighter, sharper, and just makes every game pop. Docked mode looks great too; being able to play in 4K makes a bigger difference than I expected. Load times are super fast, and games run buttery smooth.
The new Joy-Cons are a huge upgrade. They feel sturdier, the buttons have a nice click, and best of all — no drift! Battery life is also noticeably better. I’ve played a few long sessions on the go and still had plenty of juice left.
I’ve been jumping between Zelda: Echoes of Hyrule, Mario Kart 9, and some older titles thanks to backwards compatibility, and everything runs perfectly. It really feels like Nintendo finally nailed the hybrid console idea completely this time.
If I had to nitpick, I’d say the internal storage could still be bigger (thankfully microSDs are cheap), but that’s about it.
Overall, the Switch 2 just makes gaming fun again — whether I’m playing on the couch, traveling, or killing time between classes. Nintendo absolutely crushed it with this one.

TLDR: This console is a triumph of human imagination, ingenuity, and just a testemant to having a good time with multimedia that is more about people and stories!
In an era of low-effort and innovation games, Nintendo is still on top of their game as though the competition is fierce. The most important plus is the games… This console is currently the highest performer in its individual niche, but even when there is “better hardware”, if the games aren’t as good, it means nothing. The first-party games are overflowing with joy, wonder, and creativity. The second and third party games do actually join this party to be able to get into the special occasion that is this console.
One caveat is the prices… However, I recommend getting second-hand physical copies of temporary games and reselling them after you ahd your fun. I saved hundreds of dollars this way, especially thanks to the backwards compatibility.
Finally, and least importantly, ergonomics are better than ever, though I still recommend getting grips for the joycons. The battery capacity goes for a while (a while that is unhealthy to play in one sitting), so I recommend you not worry about battery capacity and instead focus on what you do and imagine during your breaks from the special world that this console is a magical door to.
I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys visual and musical arts, as well as anyone who wants to get into Nintendo!

I love it! Came early on release day and has lived up to all my expectations. The screen is much larger than the previous iterations of the Switch and the vibrant colors make everything look amazing. Mario Kart World has been super fun playing against other players online, and the open world is a neat little thing that I can just chill out with. I'm gonna be getting all my games on the Switch 2 for the foreseeable future.

The perfect upgrade from a launch Nintendo Switch. I would've loved an OLED screen, but the 120hz 1080 LED screen is still pleasant to the eyes. I love this device, game selection is growing, and backwards capability is essential with high rez upgrades.

Very good, had it for awhile now. Works perfectly. Everyone was lovely when I went to pick it up. The bundle includes the download as soon as you set up the Switch 2. Very fun game !! totally worth the money

I just upgraded to the Nintendo Switch 2 from Best Buy, and it’s been an awesome experience. The new display is super vibrant, the system runs much faster, and I’m getting a lot more playtime on the battery. Best Buy made it really easy to grab on release day, and their service was top-notch. Couldn’t be happier with both the console and where I bought it!

I recently visited Bestbuy on 86th.st. in Manhattan and asked one of the associates what would he suggest for a 9yr old boy for Xmas. He highly recommended Nintendo Switch 2. He went to say my grandson will enjoy hrs of play on Mariocart. He was right. The graphics are incredible. We've been back to purchase 2 additional games since. This guarantees that he completes his all homework assignments and pass tests with 80's and better. He also helps me with everything around the house. Thx Bestbuy, you're the best.

The switch 2 is a much more capable successor to the switch 1. So far I have enjoyed playing hallow knight, silksong, DK Banaza and pokemon ZA. It has even made pokemon scarlet/violet run smoother. I'm eagerly awaiting my friends to buy one so we can use the game chat feature.
