Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love the upgraded speed and bigger screen. Very smooth and great size of the controllers.

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.

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 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

This thing is way more powerful than the original. Games load and play so much smoother.

The nintendo is wonderful, my nephew liced having the more updated version due to its screen quality.

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.

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

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.

Good games my kids happy game So easy player for good

Great console, solid performance, sturdy construction.

Long time Nintendo lover. Have a switch 1 that I have played weekly since purchasing in 2016. The only bummer I think, so far, with switch 2 is the need for micro sd express. The cards are more expensive than regular mini sd. Other than that, it's awesome!

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.

Great product, but the battery life is not good at all. So much better than the original switch in terms of performance though.

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.

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.

So far the Switch 2 has exceeded my expectations. I held of on playing Tears of the Kingdom since it played so poorly on the original Switch, but after playing it on the Switch 2 I can safely say I made the right choice. Games run great and the added bonus of Mario Kart World for cheaper than retail is awesome. I can't wait to see what games come next!

After a long while, and a delay from BestBuy themselves, I was finally able to play on the console! It has been amazing, no issues so far. Love how easy it was to transfer my games, data, and profile from the first switch to the Switch 2.

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