Customer Ratings & Reviews

I liked the Switch 2s screen, and the joy-cons. Didn't care for Mario Kart World, but it was a game to play on it. There aren't that many games to play on it yet. So I found a few games like Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Quest 1&2, and Skyrim. Skyrim I had on the Switch, and transferred the game, and saved data to the Switch 2. Quick and easy to do. I haven't used the portability of it yet while playing. The connection to my TV was simple, and the joy-cons on the controller it comes with gave me a good time.

Much Improved performance,graphics, larger display, and second USB. Battery life about the same but overall a great Nintendo improved design to add to the enjoyment of any gamer. Grandsons Christmas Present. Gonna Love It!

Switch 2 is a major upgrade over its predecessor the Nintendo Switch. The system itself is much larger and runs much smoother. Games are faster so the experience is much better.

Excellent platform, Nintendo has outdone itself. Amazing screen size.

[Employee of bestbuy] It is definitely an improvement over the first switch and competes with a lot of other handhelds, but it definitely feels bare. Mario Kart World is a great launch title, but it still feels like it would benefit from some other releases. The backwards compatibility is a great feature and I hope developers add some more Switch 2 game upgrades to maximize the new features. Additionally, I think the screen is able to compete with the OLED from last gen, but I do hope the option becomes available again.

I definitely say it’s worth it especially if you have the original switch you’re getting better graphics battery life a bigger screen clearer visuals and it can connect to the WiFi with Ethernet

This is a really great console. I had a Switch 1 for 7 years but it’s been showing its age recently so the Switch 2 came out at just the right time. Switch 2 is better than the Switch 1 in every way. The games run so smoothly and fast, and the graphics look beautiful. The Joy-Cons 2 feel really nice and the buttons are bigger. I love how they connect with magnets instead of the rails like the Switch 1. This bundle comes with Mario Kart World which is soooo much fun, especially when playing with friends. I am very excited for future exclusive games for this console and I’m happy I was able to get it. If you loved the Switch 1, you’ll love the Switch 2. If you’re considering getting a Nintendo console and are not sure whether to get a Switch 1 or Switch 2, I strongly suggest getting the Switch 2 because it will give you much better performance, will last you more years, and give you access to all the upcoming exclusives.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a strong evolution of its predecessor, blending handheld convenience with boosted performance. The upgraded hardware delivers noticeably smoother gameplay, faster load times, and enhanced graphics — finally bringing Nintendo closer to current-gen standards while still focusing on fun over raw power. The OLED display (if included) is vibrant, and the improved Joy-Con drift resistance is a welcome fix. Backward compatibility with original Switch games adds major value, and new exclusive titles help show off what the system can do. Still, it’s not a huge leap — more of a refined upgrade than a total reinvention. But for fans of Nintendo’s ecosystem or newcomers seeking versatility, the Switch 2 is an easy recommendation.

The Switch 2 is next level. The shame the switch has carried in the past can be crushed by this new console. The graphics are incredible, games that seemed unplayable on a switch 1 or switch lite are smooth and lack any sort of lag the previous gens have struggled keeping up with. The games are outstanding, and as more get released and upgrade packs become available to give your old games a new life, the potential the console has to offer in the future can excite you with reason now. I love the switch 2. Best purchase of 2025!

One of the best purchases you can make for you and your family, allowing several people to play and feel like a family. The screen is very wide and allows you to see the designs very well. I recommend it 100%.

Console is overall great. Battery life off the dock is barely 2 hours biggest disappointment. The LCD screen surprised me honestly didn’t think it would be that great but exceeded my expectations. If you plan on keeping it docked and playing on monitor / tv I think it’s great but if you’re mobile then get used to being near a charger.

The Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle from Best Buy is awesome! The console is super fast, runs smooth, and the screen looks great whether you’re playing handheld or on the TV. Mario Kart is included and it’s super fun right out of the box, perfect for playing with friends and family. Totally worth the money—one of the best gaming bundles you can get!

I really love this over the Switch 1 performance and quality wise. The bigger console is nicer for my hands and my family’s especially. The Switch 2’s performance is great like how it now supports 120fps on games and the improvement of the graphics.

Nintendo did well on the Switch 2. Small and slim. Graphics are great.

Was very happy with my items I received.This switch 2 is a lot bigger then my switch 1 everything about it is nice.I do like how the paddles go on there like a magnet as opposed to the slide like the 1.Very happy with it the included game Mario kart is very fun to play but I have not stopped playing the new Pokemon.

Great improvement on the switch! Love the bigger screen and the visuals are awesome!

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!

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.

Although the switch 2 library is limited I'm more concerned about the performance of the console. It's quick to load screens that took forever on the switch OLED. Games from the original switch play like a dream with the increased performance upgrades. Switch 2 games look incredible in docked mode but seem to struggled at times undocked.

The price is a bit of a tough pill to swallow. However, after using it for a few days, this is a premium console/handheld for the price. The display is fantastic. The updated joy cons feel so much better. It's beefier but not in an uncomfortable way. It feels "just right". Now, looking past the hardware, I would not recommend this to someone on a fixed budget. Sure, you can use original joy cons with it but you'll soon find out, they won't be able to play all the mini games on Mario Party. And annoyingly, Mario Party locks out Mouse AND Motion mini games, without the Joy Con 2's. That's 99 dollars to get two more joy cons(L+R), but you don't get a joy con grip which is absolutely ridiculous. The grip with a charger is another 39 dollars for the branded model. You can buy just a left or right for 50. But now you gotta figure out how you're gonna charge the additional joy cons. There's third party charging stands that are a little cheaper. Oh, thinking about getting an additional dock... 130 dollars for it. And you can't use just any USB charger on the dock, it must be the Nintendo branded as there's a chip inside both the charger and the dock that must communicate with each other. Honestly, this is Apple tier BS. If you wanna bring great gaming and hardware to the masses, don't price out a significant amount of your base. The other problem I have is the eshop is not the value proposition such as a PC store front. When games are costing up to 18% of the console price, it's hard to recommend to a family who might be on a tight budget. It's going to be difficult for Nintendo to compete in a handheld market that is now fully over saturated with premium handhelds that have access to cheaper PC store fronts. Overall, can't recommend. Unless your kid is specifically asking for Nintendo exclusive games, your money would be better spent on a pc handheld with access to cheap libraries. You can get so much more for the same cost and your kid will have more games than they'll know what to do with. Or get this, two joy cons, and 3 first party titles and you'll be into this thing for 800+ dollars.
