    Full disclaimer: I am a Nintendo fanboy. I love this console. The controllers feel smooth and overall are just better. The screen is great and the performance is truly amazing. Even the Switch 1 games just run better and faster.

    The graphics and the wholehearted gameplay of nintendo is here in the Switch2. It runs so smoothly, making gameplay that much more enjoyable and I am excited for Kirby, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon games to get this smooth frame rate with their new games this year! As someone who recently went to the Nintendo Museum, the care and history of this company is singular and I am thrilled to be a part of this evolution in its gaming. I do recommend the procontroller because it enriches gameplay and as someone who enjoys home console gameplay, the huge screen really displays an enriched game experience.

    Absolutely amazing system. The new mouse controls are fantastic and MKW looks awesome. The battery life is just OK but that’s My only gripe with the system. It’s a lot of fun you won’t regret buying one. The game chat feature is really cool.

    I had the first round of release for the original Switch and decided to upgrade to the Switch 2 when Madden released. It is so much bigger and so much faster that it’s very worth the price to me. The bundle came with the new Mario Kart which was a good incentive seeing as it only added $50 to the total as opposed to the $80 it would have normally costed. The controls are smooth and do not hold a lot of resistance. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s buying their first Switch or who is looking to upgrade. It’s worth it.

    I like the switch 2. I feel they just right, what they got wrong on the first one. SD cards are a rip off, but games do download much faster. Hardware can actually handle modern games. I personally purchased the 2 year warranty, but truth be told, I most likely will not need it. I think the switch 2 feels much more premium as opposed to the switch. If you don’t have the money, I say save up for the switch 2 rather than games right now. Switch games are backwards compatible. My advice start buying physical media. I don’t know about the youngest dudes but us that are 30 and up should demand physical copies. Within reason of course. Like ports are ok. You know what I mean. Good Purchase, get your bread up.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is practically buzzing with excitement it's ready to leap off the shelf and into the hands of gamers everywhere! With upgraded internals, a sharper, more vibrant display, and lightning fast load times, it knows it's the future of portable and home gaming. The moment it boots up, it's as if it’s shouting, “Let’s a go!” eager to launch into sprawling adventures, high octane races, and intense showdowns. It can’t wait to show off its new tricks, dazzle with 4K graphics, and connect players in ways never before possible. The Switch 2 isn’t just a console it’s a celebration of everything gaming can be, and it's thrilled to be the star of the show.

    I was one of those who stayed out for the midnight launch for the switch 2, and im so glad i did. With the backwards compatibility, I've been catching up on some older pokemon games on top of the Nintendo online expansion + having a lot of games from regular Nes to gamecube. I haven't got all the attachments yet like the camera but most likely will eventually. They have a lot of games coming out that will be a must play like donkey kong bonanza and tony hawk pro skater and a new 007 james bond game which will make the Nintendo switch2 a great holiday gift for the family this year. -PW

    I bought my Switch 2 almost a month ago and this is my personal review for it. So the main reason I wanted to buy this console was the handheld aspect of it. Because a good chunk of my game time this past year has been on the go. And I wanted something with power and good games. Now I know at the time I’m doing this review there are only two big games on this console. MK world which is $80… and then the new donkey Kong. So I decided to get the MK bundle so that way it’s like I’m paying 50$ for an 80$ game. And speaking of MK….It’s a pretty good game but it does get old after a while so I would recommend getting the bundle with the game because I don’t think it’s quite worth $80. But overall I’ve been enjoying this console. So if you want a portable console with decent power and years of exclusives go for it. But if you’re not that interested in the games that are out right now I would recommend waiting another year or two for there to be more games with hopefully lower prices. This is my first review on Best Buy so hopefully I did OK. (: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved! :)

    The console performs very well! Graphics are a major improvement, but at the cost of the battery life being noticeably shorter.

    As someone who's rocked a day one switch for 8 years, this has been a fantastic step up in just about every regard. The new joycons feel a lot more comfortable to use and seeing a performance jump across the board for all of my old switch 1 games has helped to make them all feel better to play. Getting this bundles with mario kart has also been great (mainly cause I'm not paying 80 freaking dollars for it). While I'm not too jazzed about the pricing for most games and accessories, the console itself I think manages to justify its own price with what it's capible of.

    Amazing console with a bright vibrant screen! Mario Kart World is a bunch of fun that I didn't think I would have while playing. Battery life could be better, but it's understood for this level of performance.

    I bought this bundle mainly for Mario Kart and it didn’t disappoint. The new Switch feels faster and the screen looks great compared to the original one I had. Mario Kart World is a lot of fun, especially playing with family — the tracks and graphics are really impressive. Setup was easy and everything worked right out of the box. Overall, I’m really happy with this bundle and would definitely recommend it if you’re a Mario Kart fan.

    Most fun system out right now. Perfect for if you game on the go and the new graphics + speed make it way better than the original. To me the way multiplayer works makes it great for the whole family

    I love the switch 2 and although many complain about the limit pool of games, it hasn’t bothered me! I genuinely recommend getting a switch 2 because it runs so smoothly and the graphics are many levels above the switch

    Great product my son is 8 with adhd and he does really well with it. It’s not only fun but it’s helping him learn patience. It’s got a great picture and tons of game options. Along with so many control options, joysticks, steering wheel, great selection! Love it

    I wanted one of these bad boys since they announced it, even despite all the hate it originally received. Finally got one, and honestly havent wanted to put it down. Now not every game runs smoother or better, but a huge majority definitely do. Performance aside, this device feels really nice, its got a nice size and weight, and the whole thing feels premium ESPECIALLY in comparison to the switch 1. All in all i love my 2 and cant w as it to see how games adapt to it
