    One of the best systems I have ever bought. It is a super charged switch essentially. The storage is a little in the low side- Recommend picking up an SD card.

    breaking a sweat. It plays Cyberpunk 2077 surprisingly well for a handheld. The battery life is solid (about 4–5 hours on heavy games), and the screen is beautiful even though it's LCD. It feels like a premium piece of tech. Best Buy’s store pickup was fast and easy as usual. 10/10."

    Switch 2 is an improvement over the Switch 1 in almost every way. With better graphics and framerate as well. Even some switch 1 games run and look better on this. The transfer process from a Switch 1 to 2 was seamless and easy to follow. It also didn’t erase my old one after the transfer which I appreciated. Specs added that were not in the Switch 1: -HDR (Available in both handheld screen and through the dock to your tv) -VRR (As of now it is only available when playing on the handheld screen) -4k and 1440p resolution -120 fps (Available depending on the game, also doesn’t work with 4k resolution) -Bigger handheld screen

    First off ive had a couple switch one consoles since release. Im actively still using my switch oled to this day. The Nintendo Switch 2 is not a huge generational leap from its predecessor, but is has alot of premium features that will help carry it to the future. The positives are the larger screen ans overall size, it personal fits the shape of my hands better. The new joycons connect and disconnect with a new magnet system that is amazing. The dock has a cooling fan and wired ethernet port for a fast connection. 4k 60 to 120 is a nice bump. Battery life in older games is decent and from the few plays throughts in cyberpunk im getting at least two hours of charge. So there are some cons. The screen is larger but after having a oled swtich this new screen will never compare to it. Hopefully Nintendo will release oled 2. New switch 2 games are few and far betweem with most being upgrades of previous games and only dockey kong really showcasing the new systems compatibility. Joy con drift will be a issue since they haven’t improved the sticks. My biggest complaint isnthe new digital only games in a case situation that they are currently doing. Some game will only come with a digital code, no cartridge

    Scree is big and controllers better fit adult hands. Great clarity docked or handheld. The online aubscription gets acces to some older games from older nintendo products. Games are currently pricy but you can find some decent ones in the $40-$50 price range.

    it’s not the most powerful out of all the gaming consoles but definitely one of the most portable ones. You’re able to remove the joy cons and store them separately from the display and that allows you to put it in different bags store differently when you need to take it on the go. My only hiccup is the battery for that I did buy a portable battery pack and that gives me at least 2 to 3 gaming sessions if I’m not close to a outlet but apart from that a big step up from the original switch. Can’t wait to see what Nintendo has to offer in regards to your first party exclusive.

    Very happy with added performance. Was worth waiting to start and finish TOTK. The bigger screen size is nice but something like Dbrand’s Killswitch makes it much more comfortable to game on. The screen feels pretty nice considering the overall package and honestly I play docked on an OLED screen most of the time away. Considering the price of stuff like the ROG XBOX Ally, the price to performance feels pretty good to me

    Use this all the time. Its exactly how the original switch should have been. Only downside is the mediocre initial storage, but can easily add micro SD express storage.

    Switch 2 Is Where It's At

    Easily one of my favorite gaming consoles yet Bringing the nostalgia of simple, intuitive Nintendo controls to portable gaming. The amount of fun I've been able to have with friends and family has been great. Games play smoothly out of the dock and the graphical presentation on an OLED monitor is stunning. The system itself is sturdy and has classy presentational look about it that won't look akward in a living room setup. Has been a great way to pass the time on my work commutes on the train. If you can get one, which was a painless process on the Best Buy app, I can't recommend it enough.

    A Worthy Upgrade

    A worthy upgrade to the original Nintendo Switch. Bigger screen, better resolution, still has excellent battery life - and the Joycons are a bit bigger and it makes a difference! (Even though I’ll probably still buy a grip attachment) I’ve had the Nintendo Switch 2 for a little over a week and playing games on it has to be experienced because words can’t express how amazing Pokemon Violet feels at a smooth 60FPS… words can’t express the resolution bump and FPS bump Mario Odyssey (already perfect game) experience in this transition. And there are plenty others that’ve taken advantage of the Switch 2’s extra horsepower. The Nintendo Switch 2 is worth the upgrade. Thank you Nintendo. I look forward to another wonderful 7 years of gaming greatness.

    I became a switch person during the pandemic, playing Animal Crossing for 200+ hours. The new switch 2 has great graphics & a larger screen. It plays all of the original games & updates are less than $10 for games you love to be a little more crisp.

    Very mediocre

    Should probably be 3 stars but I’ll give it 4 because I never had the original Switch. Not sure this is worth it for people who have Switch 1. It should really be called a Switch Pro since it is essentially the same console as the previous model with some marginal upgrades. It now has the power of a PS4 so I guess that’s good. Overall it’s fun, and nice for kids but I’m finding the game selection to be pretty bad and basically right now we just have a bunch of Switch 1 titles along with the new Mario Kart. This console is very underwhelming and they took streaming apps away. Unreal. Nintendo has gone downhill. I also don’t like joy cons. They charge $100 for those things WITHOUT the connector dock. You have to spend so much for accessories. I prefer the pro controller but it’s also like $90. How that controller costs more than a dualsense is mind boggling.one more negative that in handheld mode the thing is just too heavy. That’s coming from an adult. For a kid it’s just too much to hold. My kids use it more on the tv or tabletop.

    Beautiful new design!! The controllers are meatier, and the screen on the handheld device is crisp, clear, and larger. Transferring data was seemless and Mario Kart is so much more fun with multiple options, creative designs, and character choices.

    A more powerful switch

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I remember buying a Switch lite back in 2021, and I ended up returning it. I was disappointed in a lot of things - the system wasn't very powerful, the default storage ran out quickly, and it wasn't very ergonomic. The culmination of all of these flaws meant it didn't really feel like a console - it felt like a toy. I guess that's a silly distinction to make for devices meant for playing video games, but it's how I felt. The Switch 2 doesn't feel like that at all. It's pretty impressive how it keeps all of the things that worked about the Switch 1, just in a more powerful, appealing package. The kickstand is solid and versatile, instead of flimsy and weak. The screen is a beautiful, 1080p at a size that makes it shine. The new controllers aren't perfectly ergonomic, but they're a huge step up from the gen 1 Joy-Cons. It feels very comparable, and even better in a few ways to my Steam Deck, which is a huge accomplishment. My main reason for knocking off a star is that I don't think there's a huge reason to get one now, especially if you already own a Switch 1. The only real exclusive experience is has right now is Mario Kart, which is great, but probably not worth $500 on it's own. I think for most people, I would say to wait a few months. Give the developers time to made ports and Switch 2 upgrade packs, see what Nintendo reveals in the next direct.

    Love the switch 2. Our son loves it and it works a lot better than switch 1. Graphics are a lot better and we like the bigger design.

    Great Console, Needs More Games

    Amazing console with excellent battery life! I’ve been using the Switch 2 for about 2 months now and enjoy how light weight, versatile, and fast this console is. I’ve played Mario Kart, Fortnite, and Hades 2 and each game has run flawlessly and smooth! What’s truly lacking is more Switch 2 titles, which Nintendo has been really slow to release - Pokemon isn’t available until mid-Oct and Meteor Prime doesn’t come out until the end of the year.

    This bundle delivers incredible value and entertainment right out of the box. The Nintendo Switch 2 runs smoothly with impressive visuals and fast load times, making both handheld and docked play equally enjoyable. Including Mario Kart World is a huge bonus—it’s an engaging, family-friendly game that’s easy to jump into but challenging enough to stay exciting. Setup was straightforward, and everything worked flawlessly. This is an excellent choice for families, casual gamers, or anyone looking to upgrade their gaming experience.
