I love the new Nintendo Switch 2! It is sleek, the game graphics are next level and the processor is fast

Love the Switch 2. Can play all my old digital purchases from Switch 1 and my new games in stunning quality. Finding it in store was kind of a pain. The poor floor guy did't even know they had them in stock and I was about to go to a different store to pick it up. Luckily I had an instore pick up for another item and found it there. All in all a great system.

Performance is on par with the steam deck, and although the LCD display is bigger than the previous switch the backlighting is very noticable and color vibrancy and accuracy is not as good as the oled of the previous model. Battery life is not great, only get about an hour and a half with the brightness at around 80%. Still a very fun console, not worth all the hype surrounding it but would still get it once there is more availablity and more games available to play.

One of the best systems I like the blogger screen to play on the road but on the Dock everything looks great on 4k

Really good idea, and excellent graphics, the only thing the batter only last for about two hours

I got the Nintendo Switch 2 for my boyfriend, and honestly we’ve both been having so much fun with it. The graphics look super clean, and the games load fast, which is really nice. The screen is brighter and the battery lasts way longer than the old one. The controllers feel better too, not cheap or flimsy. Overall, totally worth it and now it’s kinda our thing to play together.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a huge upgrade. Performance feels smoother, load times are faster, and the graphics look noticeably sharper in both handheld and docked mode. Battery life is solid, and the new features make gameplay more immersive. It keeps everything great about the original, just better overall.

Great console and great games! Bigger and better than the original and a blast to play all around

Fun fast clear screen for both adults and kids to play games together

I'm more of a casual gamer and I love my switch! The bigger screen looks flawless and the touchscreen works well even with a tempered glass screen protector. Sometimes it is a little big for me to hold but the included joycon controller is perfect for me!

This console has been awesome. Donkey Kong Bonanza, Metroid Prime 4 and Mario Kart World have been incredible games to play while the system is in its brand new phase. I can’t wait to see what other amazing games are yet to come with this console. Zelda BOTW was an awesome upgrade as well as Mario Party Jamboree. The graphics on the screen as well as the tv are a huge improvement from the Switch 1. You can’t beat Nintendo for game play.

"Nintendo Smith 2 offers an engaging and captivating gaming experience that combines classic gameplay with modern graphics. The storyline is compelling, and the controls are smooth and intuitive. Perfect for both newcomers and seasoned gamers, this game provides hours of entertainment. Highly recommended for fans of action and adventure genres!"

Nintendo really went about fixing all of the minor annoyances of the swtich 1 - better kickstand, bigger screen, easier blue tooth connectivity. Mario kart world has surprising depth, although I still think it's difficulty curve has swung down too much. Also a huge congrats/thankyou to nintendo and best buy on making these so easily available. pre-ordered for release day - picked up without issue. As a lifelong nintendo fan this was not my normal experience. Way to go nintendo on keeping this lifelong nintendo fan happy as well as the next generation.

Compared with the previous Switch models, the biggest difference is not the concept but the execution. The original Switch was innovative, but it often felt underpowered, especially late in its life. Reviewers noted that Switch 2 improves the experience with a larger screen, faster loading, easier library transfer, and more refined hardware, while still feeling familiar to anyone who has used the first Switch or Switch OLED. The new magnetic controller attachment and improved processing headroom make the system feel more modern without losing the portability that defined the original

LOVE my switch 2! Went from OLED to this and the graphics are amazing as well as gameplay

I picked up the Nintendo Switch 2 on launch night at Best Buy in Big Flats, NY. The staff did a great job keeping things organized and moving, even with a busy crowd. After a few days of use, I can say the system feels like a meaningful step forward. The performance is noticeably better—games load quicker and run more smoothly overall. The updated Joy-Cons feel sturdier and more comfortable in-hand, and the new kickstand is a nice improvement for tabletop play. I also appreciated that it's compatible with my existing Switch library, so I could jump right back into my favorite games without any hassle. The new titles available at launch are promising and show off what the system can do. Overall, I’m glad I upgraded. It’s not a radical departure from the original, but it improves on enough things to make it worthwhile for regular Switch users.

Performance is leauges better than the switch 1. Pokemon Scar/Vi don't run like they're being played in a jar of peanut butter now. The membership getting you access to a ton of classic games is awesome. I can finally play XD Gale of Darkness after all these years. The data transfer from my switch 1 was seamless. Wouldn't accept the SD card for some reason, though. Even still, all my saved data is fully intact. The joycons snapping on the side instead of sliding on from the top makes it a bit more awkward to put them back on if your switch is docked in a cramped space; but the magnets are strong, so they snap themselves on pretty easily (and quite satisfyingly.) I don't really play in handheld much, but the screen being bigger than the switch 1 is nice for that.

was amazed how easily it was to purchase one from bestbuy. Switch 2 is everything the original switch should have been. The online store move quickly, some of the games that ran poorly run seemlessly on the switch 2 & it has made feel fall in love with Nintendo all over again as I been buying games left & right. Now I'm playing with power Switch 2 power!

The system is amazingand easily improves on everything that was already great about the original Switch! Screen quality is beautiful. The compatibility of the GameShare is a literal game changer. Love the matte finish on it as well.
