I have had the switch 2 for a month now sofar i love it the bigger screen helps with seeing the larger sticks helps with these big hands i have the game has no lag very quick on its feet mario kart im loving just like the old 64 would recommend this system

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

Big upgrade to the original Switch. Especially in handheld mode. The screen alone is worth the price.

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.

I dont know what i was exspecting in a S2. Maybe I got my expectations a little to high. It looks the same with a bigger screen. Some upgraded parts here and there. Overall it is more powerful from it’s predecessor graphic wise. Battery power is worse. LCD screen quality is worse. I only play docked anyways…. I think nintendo should focus on an actual home console rather than a hybrid unit. Do yourself a favour and get a screen protector. I do have fun with there games though. Just wish this key card and download code in a box thing was not happening. Overall good first party games and experience. Would have been so much happier if the Mario Kart bundle came with the actual game box rather than a download code.

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.

I haven’t play any of the Mario, Zelda and Do key King games. The ones I did play were on the SNES and GameCube like Mario Sunshine. I bought a Wii, but really didn’t play it. Anyways, I missed playing the classic games and bought this Switch 2. I picked here on Best Buy because it was the one offering Mario Car on the bundle and no other store did. I bought it the switch 2 and got me the subscription to play some of the classics and so far I been enjoying myself a lot. The reason I wanted a switch was to play the classics and some old games and because there are times that I don’t want to seat and play games and just want to lay on bed and instead of looking at my phone, play some games online and that’s what the switch brought to me and even if I want to play it on a big screen, the switch provide me with that option too. A friend told me I could had bought the PS5, but I got the PS4 and still haven’t play all the games that I got on my PS4, so a PS5 isn’t that appealing to me right now.

Switch 2 has been pretty awesome so far. Mario cart is always a win with the while fam. Looking forward to playing the new Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong looks pretty solid. The Switch 2 is built pretty well and handles better than the.original. The new joy cons are great how they connect now instead of the slide then click in place. I know alot of people have been giving it grief but it.does what is me t to do play kick butt nintendo games just like all the systems before. SNES that was the best overall but hey im old school :)

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.

We just love and play this all of the time! Good fun for the whole family and its so great to be able to play the old games and downloads, and most of the old controllers on it as well and retire the old Switch to the box. Beautiful graphics! A bit pricey though than it should be. But its Nintendo and we always buy them going back to the 80s!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a fantastic improvement over the original. The graphics are smoother, load times are much faster, and the overall performance feels very polished. The portability is still one of the best features—you can easily switch from handheld to TV mode without any hassle. The included Mario Kart World makes it even better; it’s colorful, exciting, and perfect for playing with friends or family. The controls are responsive, and the new tracks add tons of replay value. I would highly recommend this bundle to anyone looking for a console that combines fun, flexibility, and great value.

A clear upgrade over the original Nintendo Switch in nearly every way. Far better performance, great build quality (the system feels great to play in handheld mode), and most Switch games work through backwards compatibility in addition to the growing library of Switch 2 games. My only disappointment is that the battery life is a little lacking, but it's still good enough in most cases.

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.

Great new system,way better than my switch 1.the thing i like most is the larger screen I bought this on sale for $ 335.00the best part about both switches is your getting a great display and stand alone system I own a ps 5 and xbox x,the ps 5 is my favorite

It's a great update with bigger screen, faster performance and more storage. Battery life could be better, but overall it's a strong improvement over Siwtch 1

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."

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.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is everything I hoped for and more. The graphics are sharper, load times are faster, and the battery life is noticeably improved. The new screen is vibrant and smooth whether playing handheld or docked. Pairing it with Mario Kart World was the perfect choice, it’s fast, colorful, and great for family game nights. Setup was quick, the controls feel solid, and the performance is flawless so far. If you loved the first Switch, this upgrade is 100% worth it.

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.

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.
