Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch 2 is a good hardware improvement over the original. Nintendo continues the tradition of putting out great first party games with novel features. Unfortunately, they continue their tradition of having their online/DRM experience be rather poor. For instance, be sure to transfer your previous Switch if you have one at the startup process, otherwise making your new Switch 2 your primary console is a pain, requiring a factory reset. Animal crossing fans also need to be careful and follow directions exactly to transfer islands. TL;DR Great games and good hardware, not so great online and DRM experience

Grandsons love them They have switch 1. Like this one better. They play it all the time.

A lot better than the original switch don’t listen the haters

Love the upgrade. Its bigger than the switch 1. Its got more memory in it so I can put more games in there.

Excellent product. The system is fun and get access to great games.

Live the console and LOVE playing Mario kart with my family & friends

Amazing console, the best original AAA videogames like Mario Kart or Donkey Kong Bananza are easy candidates to GOTY 2025

This console delivered. It's quite a bit more powerful, more action packed, and of course the new Mario kart is wonderful with all the platforming mechanics. Worth the price increase.

Great console with dramatic improvements to the graphics. Looking forward to many years of playing on the Switch 2 system.

Comparing this to the original switch, this one has great upgrades larger screen the joy cons feel more comfortable in hand

Very good console. Nintendo being Nintendo, I totally recommend it

I love this system and the donkey kong great fun for the family

I've never owned a computer before that the manufacturer forces me to agree to let them remotely disable the machine permanently "at their sole discretion" before they will allow me to use it. The worst any respectable company has ever done before is threaten to lock you out of their online shops and multiplayer to protect their ecosystem from modified machines. They literally tell you, ONLY AFTER OPENING IT AND MAKING IT UNRETURNABLE, that you must agree to this or "do not use the console". This is the very definition of agreeing to something under duress. I imagine since I never plan to modify the machine, this won't be an issue, but the very principle of it is unconscionable and opens the possibility for bad actors to hack into Nintendo's system and activate the remote bricking mechanism. If your ok with that risk, then the Switch 2 has been a very nice piece of hardware. I love the bigger screen, larger storage, bigger and stable magnet locking high l controls, etc. Virtually everything about it is an improvement to the original except the repairability. I've really only been playing my existing backlog from the first switch and Metroid 4, I'm not taking any chances buying non exclusive games for this console with the looming threat of a remote bricking, I'd rather minimize my losses in the event that happens.

Best investment in the whole year, happy to buy it, much faster, games are awesome, and new titles coming!!

Expensive, but has renewed my interest in Nintendo gaming that I lost back in 2018. The system itself is very well made, with some nice quality of life improvements that quite frankly make it what it always should have been--an essential part of any real gamer's living room setup.

Great console, family friendly, and super portable

Better than the OG and worthy of the upgrade. Recommend.

The kids enjoyed it every hour every minute a great purchase

Kids were pumped to play the new Donkey Kong and Mario Kart

Great gaming system. My first one so far. Update pending…
