Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is the best gaming experience for your family in 2025. Great parental controls. Great games. Nintendo exclusives like Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, and Metroid are all fantastic. Almost all third party favorites are available to play as well (You can play Fortnite, Apex, Madden, FIFA - but no Call of Duty). The screen quality is fantastic, and having your old switch games be compatible with a boost in performance is a huge win. 4k mode on the TV with HDR also looks fantastic. You can’t go wrong with a switch. It’s fun for the whole family and this is the best console Nintendo has released since the Wii.

I’ve had the Nintendo Switch 2 since June, and honestly, it’s all I’ve been playing ever since. The portability combined with the massive boost in graphics and performance over the original Switch is incredible. Even older Switch games look and run way better — the improvements in performance for titles like Pokémon Scarlet & Violet and Breath of the Wild are immediately noticeable. What really blew me away, though, are the new Switch 2 titles like Donkey Kong Bananza, Hogwarts Legacy, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, and others. They look and play amazingly well on this system, and I love being able to take that full experience on the go. I’ve honestly been neglecting my PS5 and Xbox Series X because I find myself choosing the Switch 2 every time. I even plan to start buying most of my third-party games for the Switch 2 just so I can play anywhere and everywhere. If you loved the original Switch but wanted more power, smoother gameplay, and even better visuals — this is 100% the upgrade you’ve been waiting for. Nintendo really nailed it with this one!

A major upgrade from the first Switch. The Switch 2 delivers big improvements in performance and speed, but the hardware upgrades are just as impressive. The screen looks great, the system feels more premium, and the controllers are definitely better.

I’ve been a fan of the original Nintendo Switch, but after picking up the Nintendo Switch 2, it’s clear that this new version is a serious upgrade. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed with the sleek design. The 7.9-inch HDR screen looks stunning, with sharp, vibrant colors that make games pop in a way the original just couldn’t. The design is sleek and modern, yet still maintains that signature hybrid feel. The new Joy-Con controllers are more comfortable and feel sturdier, with a better connection. I love the new magnetic attachment feature – no more worrying about loose connections during gameplay. In terms of performance, the Switch 2 is a powerhouse. Games load faster, run smoother, and the 4K capabilities when docked are a huge win for anyone who enjoys playing on a bigger screen. Plus, the fact that it supports ray tracing is a fantastic touch that brings a whole new level of immersion to some of my favorite titles. Battery life is decent, and while it’s not a huge jump from the original, I still get plenty of playtime on the go. The improved kickstand also makes tabletop gaming way more enjoyable. All in all, if you're a fan of the Switch or just looking for a portable gaming device with a bigger punch, the Nintendo Switch 2 is an excellent choice. Highly recommend it!

Great upgrade from the original Switch. Almost every aspect is better, the larger screen (LED not like the Switch OLED version), larger JoyCon controllers and feels better. Playing it docked gets you 4k 60hz gaming which is way nicer than the original Switch. Although it feels similar battery life in handheld mode as the original Switch at around 2 hours. I would have hoped for longer battery life for the Switch 2. There aren’t very many new games for the launch of the system, so time will tell how good this system will be. One other thing is the packaging of the system was concerning with the system/screen not being very protected as it sits right at the top of the box.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a massive leap forward from the original Switch in every way. The build quality feels more premium and solid, the display is sharper with incredible color and brightness, and performance is outstanding. Games load faster, graphics look cleaner, and the overall experience feels smoother and more next-gen. Nintendo truly perfected the hybrid console concept with the Switch 2 — handheld or docked, it delivers stunning visuals and flawless gameplay. The improved battery life, enhanced Joy-Con stability, and higher resolution screen make it a dream upgrade for any gamer. It’s everything fans wanted and more.

The Nintendo Switch 2 feels like a true next-gen upgrade. Games run smoother, look sharper, and load faster. The screen is bright, battery life is solid, and it’s fully compatible with original Switch games. It works great both docked and handheld. A bit pricey, but totally worth it if you’re a Nintendo fan. Highly recommended.

Nintendo Switch 2 delivers a meaningful generational upgrade — faster hardware, sharper visuals, bigger screen, better controls, and modern console features — but it’s tempered by battery life. If you value versatile play and Nintendo’s game library, it’s one of the best handheld consoles available in 2026.

Came with no staples 10/10 got my switch 2 at early launch and employees were so organized and kind and made the experience fun the switch 2 is made very well and definitely an upgrade from the og switch and seitch oled the colors on s2 are more vibrant and if youre worried about it not looking as good as your oled you shouldnt be i compared both side by side ans perfer my s2. The size is mich bigher while still being light and easy to hold even for small girl hands and the joys cons snap in so nice and snug with no wiggle and wont just fall off. The material the s2 is made of makes my oled and my s1 feel lile cheap knock offs.couldnt be more pleased if you enjoy mobile gamimg or if you love your s1 or oled and you have the money i say its worth the upgrade

The Switch 2 is phenomenal. It’s exactly what a lot of us were asking for. I have such a massive backlog that was struggling on my original Switch, now I can finally get through those games with a solid frame rate and upscale resolution. The thing I’m most excited for is this will be the system my kids grow up on playing Mario Kart and tons of other Nintendo games. I’m so excited for how pumped they are about it. People are complaining about the battery life, but what they don’t understand is that this is substantially thinner and lighter than the steam deck and other premium handhelds that are priced up to $1,000. To the haters of the Switch 2, let us have our fun. Go enjoy your other handheld PC games and let us enjoy our Nintendo games with our families.

I picked up the Switch 2 from Best Buy recently, and overall I'm impressed. The performance bump is noticeable - smoother frame rates, faster load times, and much better battery life compared to the original Switch. The screen is crisp and bright, making handheld mode more enjoyable. Build quality feels solid, and the improved Joy-Cons have less drift (at least so far). Game compatibility is excellent - my old library works fine, and the new titles optimized for Switch 2 look great. If you're on the fence about upgrading from the OG Switch or Lite - this is the version Nintendo should've launched years ago. Definitely recommend it.

I loved the Nintendo Switch 2, I like it because it is bigger than the previous one, it is more fluid, I like its design, I love it.

Good leap in performance over original switch and oled (aside from screen), with steady frame rates on many older games which struggled on the original switch. Storage is adequate for first party titles so it’s generally worth waiting for prices to go down on micro sd express for future expansion. The magnetic joycons lock in and are noticeably less wobbly than the old rails of the original. The lcd screen is vibrant with a wide color gamut compared to the old switch and the backlight bleed was minimal with no obvious pressure points of light bleed on the edges unlike the original steam deck. The permanently applied plastic protective film which should not be removed scratches easily so it’s recommended to get a screen protector. Battery life % went down very fast on the first week but after a few cycles, the battery life reading was more as advertised.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is nothing short of a triumph — a hybrid gaming powerhouse that beautifully blends innovation, performance, and Nintendo’s signature fun into one sleek package. Whether you’re a longtime Nintendo fan or just love great games, this console truly delivers on what modern gamers want.

Much improved performance, larger screen, USB-C ports on the top and bottom. Almost completely backward compatible. The joy cons are much nicer too, though I'm reading they may still be liable to experience stick drift. Additionally, compared to the OLED screen on my Switch 1, this screen is worse. Worse response time, worse contrast. BUT both of these cons are outweighed by the improved performance and size. If you game docked/with a pro controller, these shouldn't concern you at all. Even so, it's the only way to play mario kart world and DK bananza. Don't feed the scalpers and buy it retail.

The Nintendo Switch 2 console is almost perfect. Almost. The 1080p screen is a nice upgrade. The 4K capability while docked is awesome, I just wish it was also like that handheld since that's how I play the most. The upgraded memory and processor are big wins, especially noticeable with Switch 1 games. Load times are greatly reduced! The electromagnetic joycons are super cool, snapping them in and out is a breeze and there's no worry about accidentally sliding the joycon in the wrong direction and getting it stuck on the rails. The console also comes with a built in screen protector which is really nice because I don't have to go out and buy my own. Now on to the bad... it's the only fault I have found so far in the switch 2, and that's the battery life on handheld mode. Obviously this isn't a huge deal to those who only play while docked, but if you're like me and you play handheld most of the time, then it'll come as a shock how quickly the battery drains. I used to game handheld for days with the Switch 1, only charging it once it got to 10% battery or lower. With the Switch 2, the battery is almost dead within 2 or 3 hours. I haven't taken the time to actually clock the duration of the battery, but it is god awful. I'm hoping beyond hope that 3rd party accessory makers for the Switch 2 hurry up and make an external battery case for it because I can't imagine taking my Switch 2 on a long plane ride and having it die on me midway through. All in all, I give it a 4/5 stars. The console is immaculate except the battery issue which warrants the loss of a star.

I have been having a blast with my Switch 2. The screen is a great size and looks great. Playing in docked mode is amazing on a 4K TV. I've been replaying BOTW Switch 2 edition on my TV and I forgot how much I enjoyed it. My wife was impressed with it enough that she asked for one for Xmas. Spoiler, I got one for her already. The OG Switch was great and this just builds on it.

I just want to say that I love my new NS2! It's definitely a better and improved version os NS1, great speakers, sharp images, build quality and so on One thing I want to mention is the baterry life, it's not great at all, around 2 hours until it gets to 15 - 20% left and I need to dock it, don't like the option to charge it and use it at the same time, I feel like it can damage the baterry but besides that, no complaints

The Switch 2 exceeded all my expectations. The graphics are noticeably smoother and more vibrant, and the faster loading times make a huge difference when jumping between games. I also love the upgraded screen—it looks incredible whether I’m playing docked or handheld. The battery life is solid, and everything feels more responsive overall. Nintendo really listened to what fans wanted. Backward compatibility is a huge plus, and the new titles optimized for the Switch 2 run beautifully. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading or getting your first console, this is the one to get. Zero regrets—worth every penny!

I’m really impressed with this product. The build quality is solid, everything feels durable, and it works exactly as promised. It was easy to set up and even better than I expected. The design is sleek, the performance is smooth, and it definitely adds convenience to my daily routine. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering it—well worth the purchase!
