Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you already own a Switch, I’d recommend waiting. There aren’t enough new exclusives yet to justify the upgrade, and most of the games you’ll be playing are carried over from the original Switch. There are only a couple of new titles, so it doesn’t really offer a fresh experience. It’s essentially the same console with some quality-of-life improvements and slightly better performance, which is expected and not necessarily disappointing—but it doesn’t feel new. If you’ve never owned a Switch before, it’s a great option. If you already have or had one, it’s okay, just not worth the price yet in my opinion. The cost of new games is also ridiculous, and having to pay for voice chat such a basic feature feels unreasonable. And if you’re into hacking, don’t even bother.

Absolutely love the switch too. Graphics are so much better gameplay is way smoother and loading times are next to nothing.

I love how they have upgraded the screen size as well as how the controller just clicks into place…Can’t wait for my son to play with it on Christmas

My daughter has been waiting for this and it has not disappointed. She has been playing with it almost nonstop. Liked having the Mario cart attached to the purchase.

Great product, all devices worked well and the migration of games from switch 1 to this product was easy.

My wife love this gift. The game graphics is amazing. Worth the money for an upgrade from the 1st switch.

Switch is so much fun and the graphics are amazing!!

Gaming system reminds me of being a kid! Fun to use and the graphics are great!

Worked perfectly. Took a bit of time to sync data from previous Switch, but otherwise, an excellent gaming system

The Switch Two is a great improvement from the Switch. Much improved graphics and a lot of fun.

I bought the Nintendo Switch for my six-year-old, and it has quickly become one of the best family purchases we’ve made. The system is incredibly easy for kids to use, and the flexibility of switching between handheld mode and TV mode is a huge plus. My child can play on the go, in the car, or dock it to the TV for a bigger-screen experience.

Wanted a handheld for the longest and ended up with the switch 2. Yes, I could’ve gotten a pc handheld but just having a device that could run all the games without tweaking a bunch of settings is nice.

I had the previous switch oiled model and still thought it looked better visually but the bigger screen is a bonus and the upgraded hardware is definitely noticeable socially on some original switch 1 games.

Works great, can run new titles much smoother. If you can afford and are thinking about the upgrade it wouldn’t hurt to get it now despite the switch 2 not having many exclusives

My time with it is still pretty early, but I'm really enjoying the Switch 2 and consider it a considerable technical upgrade from the original Switch. I mainly play docked, but it feels good in hand, and of the few Switch 2 games I've played, it's managing them well. Very glad that it's backward compatible too.

I'm loving my time with the Switch 2. Everything about it is an upgrade from the original. The magnetic click for the joy cons is so satisfying, and popping them in and out of the console or any accessories is so much easier with the new mechanism. Mario Kart World is a blast to play with my family. I am also enjoying the free roam mode, it's relaxing to just cruise around with no real goal other than to see what's beyond the next horizon. I like that there are upgraded versions of classic switch games. Even non-upgraded games are greatly benefited from the beefier hardware, as load times that used to be significant are reduced by huge margins. Being able to use my legacy controllers with no real loss in functionality (other than losing access to the new social button) is really great because otherwise I'd probably be spending just as much as a new system to deck my family out in new gear just to play together.

Overall, it's a nice improvement from the original. The enlarged screen is nice, and the joycons feel much nicer. Unfortunately, setup was a pain, and having to switch out both the HDMI and the power source to make it work properly was annoying. The old ac adaptor wouldn't power it in the dock, and apparently, my old HDMI cord wasn't shielded enough and caused the joycon to disconnect every 15 seconds. Long story short, just save yourself the trouble and hook it up with everything that comes in the box.

Absolutely love this console! Powerful and versatile, with a great variety of games!

Works great - no complaints. Got it for my fianceé and she loves it.

A huge upgrade from the original Switch. The way the joycons are magnetic is amazing. The screen size and clarity is vey nice. I would recommend this to anyone into gaming.
