Customer Ratings & Reviews

Switch 2 is an excellent console for both kids and adults. We’re having a great time with it and have deemed it a worthy follow up to the original Switch console. The big screen helps a lot for older family members with visibility issues and the joycons are very comfortable. I haven’t noticed any drift yet but we’ll see.

An excellent console, now bring on the games!! Many improvements over the original in every way imaginable. Feels more premium, has a better screen, the buttons are bigger, decent battery life, magnetic joy cons are amazing. I can’t wait to see what comes out for this thing in the future.

Buying the Nintendo Switch 2 for my son’s 10th birthday turned into an unforgettable experience thanks to Best Buy. These consoles were impossible to find — none in stock at Target, Nintendo.com, Best Buy online, or anywhere else. I stopped by my local Best Buy just to check availability, fully expecting to be told the same thing. At first, that was the case… until the associate went the extra mile. They took a moment to think through all the possibilities and realized that someone had returned a Switch 2 just five minutes earlier after buying two when they first launched. Because of their attention and willingness to dig a little deeper instead of simply sending me on my way, I was able to purchase it on the spot. My son was beyond excited on his birthday, and I’m incredibly grateful for the associate who cared enough to look beyond the obvious and make it happen. They made me look like a hero to my son. That level of customer service is rare and deserves recognition. Way to go, Best Buy! You absolutely made our day.

I love everything about the Switch 2: 1) The bigger & faster screen, 2) The more comfortable joy-cons, 3) The faster frame-rates and higher resolution in games. I think that is price difference is definitely warranted (when comparing it to the Steamdeck, ROG Ally, etc.)

Love the speed and size of the new model. Charge drains a bit quickly but it is just the way it goes.

Had it delivered to my home! Upon arrival we opened it to find a larger screen and backwards compatibility. If you’re a Switch fan this is worth it.

My family and I love this system, great graphics and the controller is easy to use.

We loved both versions of the original Switch, so it was a no-brainer to pick up the new system when we were ready. Well worth it, all around. Bigger, nicer screen. The joycons are awesome. The game upgrades are reasonably priced and worth the few extra dollars. All in all, a great experience from setup to gameplay - and we haven't even checked out all the new features yet!

so easy to setup, just plug in in the power and connect the HDMI. The joy cons already had a charge to be used out of the box, but better to let it sit in the dock all together to get a full charge before much use. Looks amazing on the a 4k tv, and the HDMI-CEC communicates to turn the tv on and change to the right input very well.

Really good idea, and excellent graphics, the only thing the batter only last for about two hours

When the Switch first got released, I got lucky and found a Best Buy that had some in stock the morning after the midnight release. The console had the typical 1st gen issues (overheating and drifting). When the Switch 2 was announced my boys both saved up to buy it. One bought it at Best Buy and the other at another retailer. The one who bought it from the other retailer received it on release day. The one who bought from Best Buy did not. In fact, the console from Best Buy was shipped from NY to Florida on release day. It was expected to arrive two days later, but a problem from the freight company made it another day late. The purchase from Best Buy was the bundle with Mario Kart. Both boys say the performance of the console is much better than the original Switch. That performance improvement is whether used as a handheld or connected to the TV. The expense of the express SD card has held up those purchases, but the on-board memory has been sufficient so far. They are both still waiting to get cases and other accessories which will probably be when they finally take a break from playing.

Nintendo did a great job of improving on an already great console while not overthinking it and changing the things that worked. The new joy cons feel even more premium, the magnetic attachment is addicting, and the larger size makes them feel much better if using a singly joy con for gaming (i.e. local play on Mario Kart with friends). Screen is larger and comes with a built in screen protector which balances not being too bulky when in handheld mode while not feeling to small. Kick stand is also a HUGE upgrade. Also, a lot of the negatives have more to do with the launch lineup (which isn't an issue with the console itself but Nintendo release time frame or decision making) and because people think naming it Switch 2 is the equivalent to the Wii U debacle. For some reason people seem to forget that other companies create a product and just use a numbering system for their next iteration (PS1, PS2, PS3, iPhone X, iPhone XI, iPhone XII, Galaxy, tablets, etc). Easily the best handheld gaming experience, the steam deck is unwieldy compared.

I love the new Nintendo Switch 2! It is sleek, the game graphics are next level and the processor is fast

We love the switch 2. The new Mario kart makes it worth it and the screen size is nice. Controllers are different from the original switch which we like. We play this as a family a lot. So far it’s great.

Great console and great games! Bigger and better than the original and a blast to play all around

Great upgrade...bigger screen, great performance, comfortable joy-cons.

My son is obsessed! After many years of owning the original Switch we upgraded to the newest model and he has been playing non-stop! He loves the improved graphics and larger screen. Was a great buy!

I already have 1 month with the console and I don't stop playing, I loved that they made the screen bigger and it is light very comfortable to grip, 100% recommended

Great release of the Switch 2! Visuals are stunning and gameplay feels smooth. I’ve enjoyed Nintendo games all my life and playing future Nintendo games with this updated tech has me stoked. Only disappointment console-wise is the battery life. To this, the Switch 2 feels like a catch-up with other consoles and handhelds (namely the Steam Deck). Doesn’t have that feel of exceeding current tech. If you’re a big Nintendo fan, make plans to get it. If you’re not that into Nintendo games but enjoy video games in general, may need to put more thought into purchasing.

Never had Nintendo so I am very happy with it so far. The graphics are very good in handheld mode. The battery is not the best, but I’m used to it with handheld.
