Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a lovely piece of hardware to run all the Nintendo games you like, just better. The change from sliders to a magnetic connection of the joycons is nice to use. Many of the additional features are interesting, but not captivating enough to be worth it. An integrated ethernet port as well as the additional usb type-c port on the console are extremely nice to have. Overall a good improvement to the original Nintendo Switch. Is it worth the price? Depends on how much you want improved performance!

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience deserves one. From start to finish, Best Buy made buying my son’s Nintendo Switch 2 one of the smoothest purchases I’ve ever had. I added it to my cart, grabbed the protection plan, checked out, and within minutes I had a confirmation saying it was ready for pickup. No confusion. No delays. Just straight efficiency. Pickup was ridiculous, in the best way. I walked in, showed my info, and I was out in about 30 seconds. No waiting around, no back-and-forth, no stress. That alone deserves props. But the real moment was Christmas morning. Watching my son open that brand new Switch 2 was everything. Pure excitement. Wide eyes. Big smile. He didn’t even know what to say, just straight joy. He was up and playing within minutes, and I could tell instantly this wasn’t just a game system, it was a core memory. Best Buy didn’t just sell me a console, they delivered an experience that was easy, reliable, and genuinely meaningful for my family. If you’re looking for hassle free shopping and moments that actually matter, this is it. 10/10. Would absolutely do it again

As an owner of all the Nintendo Switch systems, this console blew all my expectations out of the water. It runs games that feel like they were made for the next generation, including Mario Kart World bundled with it. If you’re on the fence about it, I’d say personally, even as someone casually enjoying it, the quality of previous Nintendo Switch consoles is improved upon ten fold with the Nintendo Switch 2. I couldn’t imagine running many heavy hitters like Donkey Kong Bananza on those systems; well worth the investment.

The Switch 2 has been incredible so far, mainly because of how good the games are. Donkey Kong feels fresh but still keeps that classic fun platforming style, and it runs super smooth. The new Mario Kart is honestly addictive, the graphics are a big step up, races feel faster, and the tracks are really creative. Overall, the combination of these games makes the Switch 2 feel 100% worth it. It’s fun whether you’re playing solo or with friends, and it already has a really strong lineup.

Full disclaimer: I am a Nintendo fanboy. I love this console. The controllers feel smooth and overall are just better. The screen is great and the performance is truly amazing. Even the Switch 1 games just run better and faster.

The graphics and the wholehearted gameplay of nintendo is here in the Switch2. It runs so smoothly, making gameplay that much more enjoyable and I am excited for Kirby, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon games to get this smooth frame rate with their new games this year! As someone who recently went to the Nintendo Museum, the care and history of this company is singular and I am thrilled to be a part of this evolution in its gaming. I do recommend the procontroller because it enriches gameplay and as someone who enjoys home console gameplay, the huge screen really displays an enriched game experience.

Absolutely amazing system. The new mouse controls are fantastic and MKW looks awesome. The battery life is just OK but that’s My only gripe with the system. It’s a lot of fun you won’t regret buying one. The game chat feature is really cool.

I had a very easy & efficient purchase with best buy. I gave it some time to review & honestly it is worth upgrading from the original switch. The redesign in details is what makes me like the switch so much more. It comes with 2 holders & 1 controller already. There’s not really a need to buy anything else unless you want the camera which seems to be very fun if you have games that offer it.

Bigger brighter and a better battery. LOVE the new magnetic JoyCons! Dock works with my case and screen protector, which is fantastic! I was bummed about requiring a different (express) SD card but tech is not going to stop advancing just for me.

Storage capacity is like 5x better than the previous switch, also the screen display and the controllers feel and look much better, feels sturdier and more durable as well

The Nintendo Switch 2 is practically buzzing with excitement it's ready to leap off the shelf and into the hands of gamers everywhere! With upgraded internals, a sharper, more vibrant display, and lightning fast load times, it knows it's the future of portable and home gaming. The moment it boots up, it's as if it’s shouting, “Let’s a go!” eager to launch into sprawling adventures, high octane races, and intense showdowns. It can’t wait to show off its new tricks, dazzle with 4K graphics, and connect players in ways never before possible. The Switch 2 isn’t just a console it’s a celebration of everything gaming can be, and it's thrilled to be the star of the show.

I had the first round of release for the original Switch and decided to upgrade to the Switch 2 when Madden released. It is so much bigger and so much faster that it’s very worth the price to me. The bundle came with the new Mario Kart which was a good incentive seeing as it only added $50 to the total as opposed to the $80 it would have normally costed. The controls are smooth and do not hold a lot of resistance. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s buying their first Switch or who is looking to upgrade. It’s worth it.

This is a fantastic new console from Nintendo. I could go on and on about the screen, the power and all the other little touches here and there but one of the biggest things for me is it's backwards compatibility. Quite a few games that don't even have official upgrades or improvement patches just look better and run smoothly if the game had dynamic resolution and didn't have a capped frame rate. The games just simply play outstanding on the Switch 2, which is quite the surprise and a very welcome one! Overall, I am quite happy with the switch 2 and can't wait for all the new games and such to come in the future.

I was one of those who stayed out for the midnight launch for the switch 2, and im so glad i did. With the backwards compatibility, I've been catching up on some older pokemon games on top of the Nintendo online expansion + having a lot of games from regular Nes to gamecube. I haven't got all the attachments yet like the camera but most likely will eventually. They have a lot of games coming out that will be a must play like donkey kong bonanza and tony hawk pro skater and a new 007 james bond game which will make the Nintendo switch2 a great holiday gift for the family this year. -PW

I bought my Switch 2 almost a month ago and this is my personal review for it. So the main reason I wanted to buy this console was the handheld aspect of it. Because a good chunk of my game time this past year has been on the go. And I wanted something with power and good games. Now I know at the time I’m doing this review there are only two big games on this console. MK world which is $80… and then the new donkey Kong. So I decided to get the MK bundle so that way it’s like I’m paying 50$ for an 80$ game. And speaking of MK….It’s a pretty good game but it does get old after a while so I would recommend getting the bundle with the game because I don’t think it’s quite worth $80. But overall I’ve been enjoying this console. So if you want a portable console with decent power and years of exclusives go for it. But if you’re not that interested in the games that are out right now I would recommend waiting another year or two for there to be more games with hopefully lower prices. This is my first review on Best Buy so hopefully I did OK. (: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved! :)

Very sleek system with a beautiful screen. I appreciate the higher frame rates and 4k support the most!

loveeee the new switch! it feels amazing in my hand and plays so well. i do wish the battery charge lasted a bit longer but still overall amazing new console for nintendo and definitely a nice upgrade from the original nintendo switch

The console performs very well! Graphics are a major improvement, but at the cost of the battery life being noticeably shorter.

As someone who's rocked a day one switch for 8 years, this has been a fantastic step up in just about every regard. The new joycons feel a lot more comfortable to use and seeing a performance jump across the board for all of my old switch 1 games has helped to make them all feel better to play. Getting this bundles with mario kart has also been great (mainly cause I'm not paying 80 freaking dollars for it). While I'm not too jazzed about the pricing for most games and accessories, the console itself I think manages to justify its own price with what it's capible of.

I gotta say I'm really liking my new switch 2. I'm one of those people that bought it only for Pokopia lol because I didn't think it was going to be that much different than the OLED switch. But it's been a big upgrade so far! The graphics are really good and the biggest thing is the full screen on the TV! No more of those black side bars, and handheld mode is awesome too with the bigger screen. Oh and get you a Killswitch from dbrand it makes it sooooo much better.
