Customer Ratings & Reviews

Upgraded my 7.5 year old switch to switch 2. Runs like a dream! Gorgeous graphics! Smooth feel and smoother data transfer! Super happy with my new switch 2

Excellent console. Controller can be split up and used by two people, although not as comfy. Mario Cart is pretty fun. Games from Switch 1 work fine. Storage could be a little bigger for downloaded games.

I liked the graphics on mario kart world its nice being able to play on the go with friends and family a truly great handheld console.

My boyfriend purchased this and he really liked it. He liked that it was portable and pretty good for any game you’d want to play.

Very happy with this purchase. The Switch 2 feels solid, the Joy-Cons are improved, and games run much better than on the original Switch. Setup was quick and everything worked right out of the box. Buying from Best Buy was hassle-free.

Amazing bundle and tons of fun right out of the box. The Switch 2 feels faster and smoother, and Mario Kart World is a perfect game to enjoy with family and friends. Great value and an awesome upgrade for Nintendo fans.

[Employee of bestbuy] Love the switch! I got this as a birthday present for my son’s 11th birthday. He loves it so much! I love the quality and the new size of the screen.

Use this all the time. Its exactly how the original switch should have been. Only downside is the mediocre initial storage, but can easily add micro SD express storage.

Purchased the Switch2 with the Mario Kart World Bundle, and my son says it's awesome. He says it looks "live" and crisp video. No lagging, no storage problems.

Very fun. The portability makes it easy to bring around and the graphics are better

This is one of the premier gaming platforms currently out there and with the number of titles, the easy of game play, the ability to play alone, with friends or online makes this a must get. Mario Kart has always been a great game in every incarnation of Nintendo systems, and here it's even better than ever with lots of challenging courses, each with their own special surprises.

Love the new nintendo switch 2, it is bigger, color on screen are brighter, excited that it came as a bundle with Super Mario Kart World! and I can still use my cartridges from my old Nintendo Switch that's just going the extra mile!

Love the switch 2. It runs more smoothly than the switch 1 and has better quality graphics. The only downside is that it dies rather fast. When playing Fortnite it only lasts maybe 2-3 hours. I’d still get it again.

I love my switch 2! It’s a significant upgrade from the original switch. Switch 1 games run better, and switch 2 games are phenomenal.

I’ll be honest, with Mario Kart World included, I’m not sure it’s worth $500. If you got the upgreades for the two Zelda games, yes the look better and run smoother, but they weren’t unplayable on the Switch. I still occasionally break out Breath of the Wild just to get closer to 100% on my Wii U and that still does just fine, so the app still makes the hardware. I’m still waiting to see how the new features work in games like Mario Party Jamboree that take advantage of the mouse and camera. I don’t play Nintendo games online, so Game Chat is a useless feature that I feel Nintendo leined way too heavily on for the launch of this console. Game Cube on the Switch 2, cool, I guess. If im going to play Game Cube games I’ll play on my actual Game Cube, or Wii, or Wii U. They didn’t even include the best games to play on the sustem at launch. In conclusion, do you need a Switch 2? No. As of right now I’d say it’s only for the die hard Nintendo fans that have always purchased Nintendo hardware. 3 weeks after launch and I still find myself playing on PC or my PS5 more than the Switch 2.

This system is amazing and I cannot recommend it enough. The graphics and performance dwarf the performance of the switch 1 allowing for 4k performance and 120hz for certain titles. The games are pricey but I think most titles will provide you with the gameplay hours you are looking for.

Switch 2 is better than advertised! The controls are more smooth than the original switch and the graphics are sensational. If you are a nintendo fan, what are you waiting for? Get this system now!!

There are a lot of pros with the Switch 2. I like that it is still compatible with the original Switch games, I already have a ton of those. As an adult player I like that the remotes got a little bigger, add a cheap case or cover and it will feel better when playing handheld. I like that we can now play 4k docked. I wish they would have added more memory and had more Switch 2 games at launch.

It’s a Switch, but better. I like how most original Switch games seem to run better even if they’re not optimized to do so. The screen is nice, but not nearly as durable or pretty as the Switch OLED’s. Absolutely recommend a screen protector because just taking it in and out of the dock will absolutely cause micro scratches. I also like the larger form factor, it feels so much better than the original. 256GB of storage is diabolical in 2025..

I still have my launch day switch, and given the small game library of the switch2 at launch, i didnt feel the need to upgrade. Got it as a gift, and the experience is so much smoother than the original. TOTK doesnt chug as hard, and that alone is worth it.
