The larger screen and smooth display makes for a big improvement over the OLED version. Very happy with my purchase and now it's time to get more Switch 2 specific games

Coming from an older model, the Switch 2 is a dream. Everything runs much faster and looks incredible on the new display, both handheld and docked. The new Mario Kart World is the perfect launch title, with a massive new world to explore and super fun gameplay. This bundle is worth every penny. I also had an amazing experience purchasing at BestBuy. I traded in my original Switch and the team made the experience seeemless and easy for me. I will definitely shop there again.

The size and power that the switch 2 has is amazing! The battery can be way better but besides that its a phenomenal console.

Excellent System and a very good Mario game! My daughters have been loving this game and the System!

The Switch 2 brings literally everything I had hoped a successor would. For years, I would say if a Switch came out that ran just like (and in this case, better than) a ps4, it would be a massive hit. The Switch 2 is that. While screen quality is not amazing, native 120FPS already had me play games on it over my Steam Deck OLED. Performance will vary, but games like SF6 run great in handheld, and to me performance is what matters. Not to mention, a big portion of your Switch 1 caralogue get a performance and graphical boost as well. The Switch 2 is the right direction for the Switch system. The entire library, leaps of better performance, and even a new gimmick! (Mouse controls)

Say what you want about the high prices. Def helped to get the Mario Kart bundle. Transferring data from Switch 1 to Switch 2 was a bit tedious but very doable. Great system overall and improves on just about everything from the Switch 1. Highly recommend DK Bananza as well!

Absolutely loving the Switch 2 so far! The performance is smooth, graphics are noticeably improved, and the overall build quality feels premium. Setup was easy, gameplay is fast and responsive, and it’s a huge upgrade from the original Switch. Totally worth the purchase.

Portability and great battery life . Graphics are sharper and it’s easy to switch between handheld and other mode . Highly recommend.

The Nintendo Switch 2 takes everything players loved about the original and elevates it into a smoother, more powerful, and more immersive experience. It’s not just an upgrade — it feels like a confident next step in hybrid gaming. Highly recommended!

Should probably be 3 stars but I’ll give it 4 because I never had the original Switch. Not sure this is worth it for people who have Switch 1. It should really be called a Switch Pro since it is essentially the same console as the previous model with some marginal upgrades. It now has the power of a PS4 so I guess that’s good. Overall it’s fun, and nice for kids but I’m finding the game selection to be pretty bad and basically right now we just have a bunch of Switch 1 titles along with the new Mario Kart. This console is very underwhelming and they took streaming apps away. Unreal. Nintendo has gone downhill. I also don’t like joy cons. They charge $100 for those things WITHOUT the connector dock. You have to spend so much for accessories. I prefer the pro controller but it’s also like $90. How that controller costs more than a dualsense is mind boggling.one more negative that in handheld mode the thing is just too heavy. That’s coming from an adult. For a kid it’s just too much to hold. My kids use it more on the tv or tabletop.

I've been using the Nintendo Switch 2 for a few weeks now, and it's a major improvement over the original. The OLED screen is stunning—colors are vibrant, and it’s noticeably brighter, which makes a big difference in handheld mode. The performance boost is real: games load faster, run smoother, and the battery life has improved significantly. I also appreciate the improved ergonomics of the Joy-Cons—they feel more comfortable during longer play sessions, and I haven't experienced any drift issues so far. The new kickstand is wide and stable, making tabletop gaming a lot more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Crystal clear graphics and interesting gameplay! Looks great on tv.

So Nintendo technical told a bunch of half-truths about the technical specs of the screen and video output, but it doesn't change the fact that they known how to make great games. The device is also still a pretty tremendous upgrade on the Switch 1 in basically every way. For anyone who owned a switch and has a back catalog, this device has been actually transformative for so many of those games on top of it. It may be worth the upgrade just to get the added benefit to older switch 1 games you love or havent played yet because of performance issues. There are a lot of reasons to be frustrated with Nintendo, but they still have it where it counts. FYI, I have had to swap out my dock 2 times now for faulty Ethernet ports on the back. Make sure you periodically check your internet settings if you plug the deck into wired ethernet so that if yours goes back you can RMA it through nintendo.

Kids love playing it. Cool graphics, fun for all. A great upgrade to the first switch

I bought this for my son. Overall it's a very nice unit and upgrade from the switch 1. Recently, the right controller started having issues and I'm not sure why. It's only 2 months or so old. Maybe it's a glitch? But, I do like the graphics and usability overall. The only other thing that was a little off-putting is you have to buy a special micro SD and can't use the old one. Also, the charger from the last one doesn't work correctly with this Nintendo base. I feel like Nintendo should create hardware that can transfer each of those small items over because it ends up being an extra 100-200 dollars on top.

The upgrades to the hardware and the larger size make for a great on the go handheld and some pretty graphics on the big screen.

So much is missing in the retail environment. Not one of your employees seem to care. Workin the customer experience…very little help with buying more to enjoy the product. Yes I pre bought on line, but why not upsell? Not one persons tried. It was here ya go. No wonder people buy from Amazon. I’ve spent thousands over years with your company. And now it’s just a “robot experience”! Can’t say bad about the best. But it definitely lacks on what what Best Buy should mean. I can spend my $ anywhere. But “Best Buy” is boring buy! Get it?

The NIntendo Switch 2 is definitely the upgrade we all wanted! I highly recommend the Switch 2 for any gamer who just plainly wants to play games on the go or on the television.

The Nintendo Switch is solid and versatile. Performance is quick, setup is simple, and the build quality still holds up. The bundle I bought included the new Mario Kart, which turned out to be the standout—fast, polished, and really fun. For anyone looking for a flexible system with a great game right out of the box, I would get this bundle.

We got this to play the new Mario Kart and it didn't disappoint. It really is a switch 2, with backwards compatibility (was easy to transfer my digital game library over). Feels and looks better than the OG switch. Like everything about it except the dock. They've made it so you have to use it to hook up to a TV. With the old Switch you could use a powered USB-C to HDMI dongle, which was sooooo much better for travel. If you need a switch, get this, not the switch 1, you'll be sad you won't be able to play the latest and greatest.
