Customer Ratings & Reviews

So Nintendo technical told a bunch of half-truths about the technical specs of the screen and video output, but it doesn't change the fact that they known how to make great games. The device is also still a pretty tremendous upgrade on the Switch 1 in basically every way. For anyone who owned a switch and has a back catalog, this device has been actually transformative for so many of those games on top of it. It may be worth the upgrade just to get the added benefit to older switch 1 games you love or havent played yet because of performance issues. There are a lot of reasons to be frustrated with Nintendo, but they still have it where it counts. FYI, I have had to swap out my dock 2 times now for faulty Ethernet ports on the back. Make sure you periodically check your internet settings if you plug the deck into wired ethernet so that if yours goes back you can RMA it through nintendo.

The larger screen and smooth display makes for a big improvement over the OLED version. Very happy with my purchase and now it's time to get more Switch 2 specific games

Battery life is not as long as prior models. (Around 2-3 hours). System also is prone to getting overly warm in handheld and docked mode.

Awesome product, smooth processing, bigger screen, better visuals, controllers could be bigger but I have bigger hands so to each their own. Overall this is a great product and fun for the whole family.

First! Price range isnt the best but its okay i believe it is worth getting, I don't write alot of reviews so here I go, this Console feels nothing new to the switch 1 BUT worth the upgrade... the new Joy cons has grown on me i love them alot way better than the first gens. I have bought a few games Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and Donkey kong Bananaza runs smooth no frame drops, loading is so much better and faster and those game looks great! Battery life is okay I ran about maybe 2-5 hours worth of battery but really depends what you are playing. Also the dock has a ethernet port and two usb. Also the switch do be running 4k when its dock of course and it is backwards compatible with you old games from the switch 1, overall it is worth it, i almost went for the ps5 but glad I didnt since i own a PC so getting the Switch 2 made more sense for me also nintendo exclusives cant go wrong, i recommend buying this switch 2 if you're interested in buying one.

Don't listen to unnecessary hate, there's a lot of lies that are spread about this console. Nintendo made a great product, it was easy to set up, it's comfortable to use, the performance is great, game chat is actually really good, BUY IT. THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE AT BEST BUY FOR MAKING MY DAY ONE PURCHASE EASY.

So much fun! The family loves it, the graphics are a big improvement and i like the new sleek look.

Switch 2 is heavier, feels better made, plays better. Only issue I have is the battery life.

I've been using the Nintendo Switch 2 for a few weeks now, and it's a major improvement over the original. The OLED screen is stunning—colors are vibrant, and it’s noticeably brighter, which makes a big difference in handheld mode. The performance boost is real: games load faster, run smoother, and the battery life has improved significantly. I also appreciate the improved ergonomics of the Joy-Cons—they feel more comfortable during longer play sessions, and I haven't experienced any drift issues so far. The new kickstand is wide and stable, making tabletop gaming a lot more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

The main menu is a lot smoother over the OLED switch. The screen is a lot bigger as well. Worth the upgrade if you primarily use it as a portable console.

Im happy with this console just sucked there was not enough games.

Love this switch. I love the bigger screen and better graphics. Way to go Nintendo

Major update from the original switch. Larger screen is a massive upgrade that makes everything look better. The battery life could be better though with most games only lasting 2 hours.

The game console bundle truly delivers on its promises, providing an excellent gaming experience. The visuals are stunning, making the racing experience immersive and enjoyable. It's easy to pick up and play, making it a perfect choice for both casual and experienced gamers. Additionally, the bundle includes everything needed to start racing immediately, as advertised. Overall, it's a fantastic product that lives up to expectations.

it has better resolution and better screen than switch 1. but it has a few flaws. one is youtube app doesnt work on it. and battery life is really short

Love the new screen and bigger kickstand. Quality of graphics is better as well.

The switch 2 is absolutely amazing. I was very apprehensive about purchasing a switch 2 until I played a couple different games on my daughters. I went directly to BB and purchased one. Now we all (the entire family 8 of us) all have game night and it is hilarious. They live in various parts of the U.S. and we all go online and have a great time. Rather than sitting in front of the TV watching mind numbing shows we have all seen 100 times before, get a switch 2 and enhance your mind and quicken your mental response. Trust me I am 68 and I still kick my young familys butt in some games....

Very fun gaming system. We have been playing donkey kong and the graphics are definitely improved. The magnetic controllers are definitely an improvement also.

I love it! The graphics are amazing and I love how the controllers are magnetic!

Bought this because I’m on the road a lot and I’m always looking for a good way to game. This was a massive upgrade from my original switch that I had years ago!
