    The bigger screen compared to the first gen is great. Gaming is awesome on the switch.

    The Switch 2 is a massive upgrade over the Switch, whether that be the first edition, Lite, or even the OLED version. I've noticed improved performance in many games, like Xenoblade 3, Pokemon Violet, super steady 30fps on Fire Emblem 3 houses, faster load times on many other switch 1 titles as well. Of course, playing an actual Switch 2 game is where the console shines brightest. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Zelda BOTW and TOTK switch 2 versions are incredible. I do wish there were more switch 2 games at launch, though, many are coming soon and next year. Overall, very happy! If you for sure are itching to play any switch 2 games and its within budget, do it! If the current titles, or the upcoming Legends ZA Pokémon game doesn’t excite you much, hold off for now until the library does expand.

    Awesome!! Gave it to my son for his birthday and he instantly loved it! He’s a gamer, has just about every console, oldschool and new, and he hasn’t played on any other system since the end of July. Bigger screen, better display resolution and the magnetic joycons are an amazing upgrade =)

    Everything about this device is great, minus some from the battery life, which feels a little disappointing for longer couch sessions. Very impressed that it doesn’t overheat, and runs very well both docked and in handheld mode. The build feels way more solid than Switch 1 and the JoyCons feel much more stable.

    This definitely felt like an upgrade. Initially, I was a bit hesitant about buying it, but I’m glad I did. The larger display is really nice, and it runs incredibly smoothly. My only complaint is that I wish they made Joy-Cons that were a bit thicker. The larger design makes it uncomfortable to hold the console for extended periods, especially for someone with large hands.

    The Switch 2 plays well with good graphics, built-in memory, and AMAZING kickstand. I actually like playing it as a handheld device but the battery only lasts around 3 or 4 hours. Could he worse but could be better. I like how you can control the battery life so that the battery doesn’t overcharge and cause issues further down thr line.

    Better then the previous switch, you can actually enjoy your time playing without a TV but need a better battery though

    I like it! I couldn't be happier that Nintendo was going out of their way to get most / all the old Switch1 games to work on the new console! That is awesome! Looking at e.g. Cyberpunk shows what the console can do - and I am looking forward to see more titles like this! The game Mario Kart World was also a lot of fun to play. Unfortunately though a *new* and stellar launch title like the Zelda games are still outstanding from Nintendo. I hope that happens soon! Now to the things to think about: 1. I own a Switch 1 Pro controller. It works on the Switch2 ... except for it cannot wake up the console. Why? Sorry I have to say that this has a smell of squeezing out money for accessories again to get one button which is alreay there and which worked in the past. On the bright side: I have now at least 2 controllers. 2. The docking station experience is somehow similar. But overall I recommend it.

    A nice, but not absolutely necessary upgrade

    Switch 2 is a nice upgrade from Switch 1. Went to midnight launch event and found that more "fun" than the actual Switch 2 itself. In time with newer games released for it I think it will shine but not a 100% necessary upgrade. Screen is nice, larger joy cons are also very appreciated. Speakers are nice as well in handheld. I'm not sure I fully appreciate the "surround sound" Nintendo touts. Build quality seems on par with Nintendo products. Battery is challenging - I mostly play in docked but Switch 1 definitely had longer handheld time. If you need/want the "latest" and "greatest" then sure, upgrade, but if you have a Switch 1 and would be taking debt to buy this, then hold off for now.

    The new Nintendo Switch 2 with the Mario Kart World bundle is an amazing addition to my new hobby of gaming. The console itself runs smoothly, graphics are impeccable and battery life is really long-lasting. Mario Kart gives the essence of childhood everytime I play the game. Overall, an amazing purchase.

    Best portable device EVER!!! So so so glad I had the opportunity to pre-order the NS2 Mario bundle for my wife. Seeing her light up after opening it was definitely worth it! The quality is unmatched, graphical fidelity is superb, I would recommend it to any casual or hardcore gamer!

    I love the upgraded visuals and fps, the hdr screen, the magnetic joycons, and the charge ports at top and bottom! The back has two tiny dot sized chip indents that make me worry about the durability of the device however I'm not sure if those were caused by me or from the factory.
