Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch 2 is a solid upgrade from the original. Performance is noticeably better, games run smoother, and load times are much faster. The screen looks great in handheld mode, and the console feels more polished overall. Setup was easy, and it works perfectly with my existing Switch games and accessories. If you enjoyed the original Switch, this is absolutely worth the upgrade.

The Switch 2 is a worthwhile purchase, $450. The console’s improved screen quality and speed make a real difference in both handheld and docked modes. Everything feels smoother, and the new display is a big win. The Mario Kart World bundle is fantastic value. The game looks beautiful and offers the classic, highly addictive racing that is perfect for local or online play. If you're ready to upgrade or looking to jump into the Nintendo ecosystem, this is a great, solid bundle.

I love my new console! The Nintendo Switch 2 does not disappoint. It may seem similar to the original on first glance, but the hardware diffences make themselves known. The new screen is larger and has a crisper image. It's not OLED, but I found the quality improvements make that virtually unnoticeable. My games load much faster, and the animations seem to be smoother. It feels more ergonomic, possibly because it's wider and the controllers aren't cutting into the base of your palms as much. The new joy-cons feel built with more quality. They fit more comfortably in your hands, and have less annoying "clicky sounds" when playing than the original. Motion tracking games seem to perform better with them. Finally, the included Mario Cart World game is a blast to play and very visually appealing. My family have played it countless times already and it's our new favorite in the series.

Supee fast shipping. The switch itself is super cool. The graphics are super clear and more detailed. You can pass down previous downloads from the first switch. So you can play even more games. The controller is smooth and has good grip. Really fast changing. The switch is bigger and has a nice screen super light in weight. Super good gift or for oneself. When you play games the graphics are clear very good definition. And easy for all ages. Love it highly recommend. :)

Graphics are great, processor, and over all operating system is worth it. Not sure how much of an upgrade it is from the original switch, but it’s worth the upgrade from switch lite. Wish the battery lasted longer, but overall it charges quickly so time between restoring power while playing is minimum. Especially since it can be played while charging.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is an incredible upgrade! The graphics are absolutely stunning, the bigger screen makes gameplay more immersive, and the built-in speakers sound surprisingly good for such a small device. I personally use the docking station more than handheld, and I love that it’s backward compatible—my Nintendo Switch 1 games work seamlessly on the new system. As for Mario Kart World, I have mixed feelings. The graphics are off the hook—truly next level—but I’m not a fan of the new Battle Mode. Unlike Mario Kart 8, where you could come back with fewer balloons and keep playing until time ran out, once you lose your life here, you’re done. That said, the game still has its own strengths and is visually amazing.

Was talked into getting the new Switch 2 when buying games for my son's Switch 1 and I am really glad I did. Even though it was a Christmas gift for my son I think my husband and I have played it the same amount as our son :) it's so fun. The controllers are way better than the 1, and the bigger screen is perfect when it's not hooked up to the TV.

It feels like this is the promise of everything that the Switch should have been. It's a joy to hold and play on portably, and in a dock it shines in 4k. Games, especially updated ones, are plentiful. It has become my preferred platform, knocking my beloved Steam Deck down from the winners podium. I'll ding it a tiny bit for Game Key Cards, but I feel like that problem will solve itself in the future. A must buy for any fan of gaming.

Great overall improvement. Battery life is nothing spectacular, controller that comes with is garbage, and storage is low. However, system runs fast and smooth and looks great compared to switch 1

Even with the price, I still find this a great step in right direction for Nintendo. The only thing I wish they had done differently, is change the UI but that can always be addressed with updates. The actual hardware itself has been great. Size of the screen, joycons are a better improvement over the Switch 1, and everything is much faster compared to Switch 1

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 upgraded to the Switch 2 from my original launch-day Switch, and the difference is night and day. The larger, upgraded screen is a game-changer—I find myself playing in handheld mode far more than I ever did with the OG model. It’s vibrant, immersive, and makes every session feel fresh again. Performance is another huge win. Games like Breath of the Wild run noticeably smoother—no more frame drops disrupting the experience. Nintendo clearly stepped up their hardware game. The updated Mario Kart included with the system is a great bonus. It’s not just a rehash—it feels like a thoughtful refresh of a classic that makes jumping back into races feel exciting again. If you’ve got kids, this is a fantastic console to have around. It’s easy to use, family-friendly, and packed with games that are fun for all ages.

After using it for a few months I can honestly said that I’m truly happy of buying it. Zelda looks incredible and runs perfect! (Remember that you must pay for the Switch2 upgrade). I’m amaze how good Cyberpunk looks too, I hope that they give the Witcher 3 an upgrade too, since the Switch2 is a more powerful handheld. Other than that I totally recommend you to buy one and to get ready for Metroid Prime 4!

best console. every switch 1 game just .... works. except they're now magically at 4k and high framerate. handheld is perfect and the object itself is a seamless curvy work of art.

Runs much better than the switch 1. I love the bigger screen. Only issue is storage, but this can be rememdied with extra storage that you have to buy separately

I’ve had this Switch 2 for a month now and it has been so much fun to go back to gaming basics. Pokemon ZA Legends is so much fun and smooth on the Switch 2. I wish I would have bought it sooner. The only bad thing about it is that the battery lasts 2-3 hours on a full charge.

I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 for my 8- and 10-year-old kids, and it’s been perfect for them. The best part is how easily it switches from handheld to TV mode—they play at home, take it outside, and continue right where they left off. The games, performance, and portability make it a better fit for our family than the PS5. Simple, fun, and great for young kids. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a family-friendly console.

A great little system, so far. My kids absolutely love Mario Kart World, and this version just updates and upgrades all the things we liked about Switch 1. The controllers are especially nice, but only time will tell if the drift issue from the previous models has actually been fixed, like they said. We all love the bigger screen, and enhanced graphics as well, all though it is less portable, although not egregiously so. Biggest plus is being able to use all our previous games and even getting a free upgrade to some of them via our Nintendo Online account. Breath of the Wild has been given new life and I'm playing it again. It's pricey but considering the lifespan of the previous system (which was much longer than the average Games Workshop game) and all the fun we had with it, we expect to get a lot of use out of this one, so it was worth the cost.

Not worth 450-500 by a long shot but I used gift cards accumulated through my employer. A solid performing and well bullt console. Cant wait to see what games come out to really push this hardware. Solid build quality. The screen and battery life are excellent. Sound is acceptable for a handheld. It annoys me that we have to buy upgrade packs to take advantage of the better performace on games already owned. As a PC gamer this feels like being robbed tbh. For this reason the switch 2 gets 4 stars. If it goes on sale or some amazing exlusive pops up (cough cough FROMSOFT) go for it. Otherwise its just not worth the money right now.

I've only plaid a few games on this console but so far it is pretty nice. The screen is much larger, the graphics and resolution looks great and the controllers are comfortable. Though it is bigger, it feels more cumbersome to hold as hand held, but the detachable controllers are nice. It's much easier to use them as single controllers too since they are larger and the kick stand on the screen is much better to balance on a table. If you have the spare money to upgrade to the switch 2, it's worth it.
