Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

Everyone we wanted in the switch 1 upgrade - graphics, material quality, better screen, and nicer form factor. We got it all

This thing has quickly become mine and my kiddos favorite console. I like the easy backwards compatibility for their old games and controllers, but finally can enjoy some update resolution from my old switch. Do wish Nintendo would include some more of their old games in the online subscription service though.

My son loves his Christmas gift. This is definitely a positive improvement over the switch 1 model which was starting to fail. I may buy another next year to play games with my son. Very happy with my buying experience, in and out in under 30 mins. The service representative was helpful in answering my questions.

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!

An excellent product that has the Nintendo DNA, it comes with Mario Kart, the Switch 2 looks like an upgrade from Switch1, the only thing missing is that we need more games

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!

I’ll start with the high definition resolution which makes older games feel like new again. Specifically Zelda BOTW and Zelda TOTK. It also has quicker loading/refresh rate times. The controllers are larger and have a new magnetic snap to lock vs the slide to lock, making them easier to remove and charge. I purchased the Bundle with the new Mario Kart World and have tons of fun with family and friends! Now just waiting in new games to come out hopefully for the holidays. 10 out of 10 recommend!

The Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart is incredibly fun and easy to use. The console runs smoothly, and Mario Kart offers fast-paced, exciting races that never get boring. Perfect for all ages and great for playing alone or with friends. Highly recommended for endless fun!

Honestly, the Switch 2 just feels like a solid upgrade all around. Games run smoother, load faster, and look way better, especially in handheld mode. It still has that same easy switch between TV and handheld, which I love, but everything feels a bit more polished now. Battery life is better, the controllers feel nicer, and the fact that I can still play my old games is a huge win. It’s not a crazy reinvention, but it didn’t need to be—it just makes a good system even better.

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.

Large screen with high definition and quality graphics! Nintendo is certainly keeping up with the times!

Ive had mine a couple weeks now and its a really nice upgrade from the OG one. The screen looks great and games run fast and smooth. Had to recalibrate the battery, but that was an easy fix

The kids love this system! Doesnt take up a lot of space and so nice that it is portable!

I love my switch 2. Definite upgrade from the switch 1. Battery life could be better handheld when running it at full potential but I usually play with it docked. Once you adjust the graphic setting it runs fine on a tv or monitor

A much better switch overall. Games so far run much better and the screen is great.

The screen is so much bigger than the original switch and plays great!

Great console. High-quality device. Larger and feels more premium than OG switch. Going to be even easier to recommend once the library inevitably fills up in the years to come.

Great product, such an improvement from the one, It feels so deluxe, I just can't wait for the new games to come

Yes, this is an expensive piece of hardware. However, this is also an investment in the future of Nintendo. This is truly a better Switch if you're a gaming enthusiast. A bonus is that the vast majority of your Switch library will not only work on this device, it'll run better than ever before. I still use my switch pro controller with the switch 2, however, it won't wake up the console because it's not a "Switch 2" controller - an easy work around is to just tap the power button on the docked console before you sit down. The device feels premium and less toy-like than the original Switch. If I had young kids, I would probably keep them on the original for now.
