    I just want to say that I love my new NS2! It's definitely a better and improved version os NS1, great speakers, sharp images, build quality and so on One thing I want to mention is the baterry life, it's not great at all, around 2 hours until it gets to 15 - 20% left and I need to dock it, don't like the option to charge it and use it at the same time, I feel like it can damage the baterry but besides that, no complaints

    Great upgrade over the original and the oled

    Good leap in performance over original switch and oled (aside from screen), with steady frame rates on many older games which struggled on the original switch. Storage is adequate for first party titles so it’s generally worth waiting for prices to go down on micro sd express for future expansion. The magnetic joycons lock in and are noticeably less wobbly than the old rails of the original. The lcd screen is vibrant with a wide color gamut compared to the old switch and the backlight bleed was minimal with no obvious pressure points of light bleed on the edges unlike the original steam deck. The permanently applied plastic protective film which should not be removed scratches easily so it’s recommended to get a screen protector. Battery life % went down very fast on the first week but after a few cycles, the battery life reading was more as advertised.

    My Review of the Nintendo Switch

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve been using the Nintendo Switch 2 for a while now, and I can honestly say it’s the upgrade I was hoping for. Nintendo kept everything I loved about the original Switch but made it faster, smoother, and more enjoyable in just about every way. The first thing I noticed was the performance boost. Games load quicker, run more smoothly, and look significantly sharper both in handheld and docked mode. The new display is bright and vibrant, and it makes every game—from big adventures to simple indies—look amazing. I also really appreciate the improved battery life. I can play for much longer periods without worrying about charging, and the handheld mode feels much more comfortable thanks to the refined design and sturdier build. The updated Joy-Cons feel better in my hands, the menus are faster, and the whole system just feels more modern and polished. The fact that it’s backward compatible is a huge plus, because I was able to bring my entire Switch library with me right away. Overall, the Nintendo Switch 2 feels like a natural evolution of the original. It doesn’t change what makes the Switch special—it just makes everything better. I’m genuinely impressed, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves Nintendo or portable gaming.

    Came with no staples 10/10 got my switch 2 at early launch and employees were so organized and kind and made the experience fun the switch 2 is made very well and definitely an upgrade from the og switch and seitch oled the colors on s2 are more vibrant and if youre worried about it not looking as good as your oled you shouldnt be i compared both side by side ans perfer my s2. The size is mich bigher while still being light and easy to hold even for small girl hands and the joys cons snap in so nice and snug with no wiggle and wont just fall off. The material the s2 is made of makes my oled and my s1 feel lile cheap knock offs.couldnt be more pleased if you enjoy mobile gamimg or if you love your s1 or oled and you have the money i say its worth the upgrade

    This console is the perfection of handheld gaming. The thought of trying something like this may be hard to get into for some, but if you ever find an opportunity to try it… do it. You will find yourself enjoying life a lot more with this thing trust me. Nintendo knocks it out by perfecting many flaws of its predecessor. Couldn’t recommend it more if you love video games. It’s beautiful.

    The Switch 2 is phenomenal. It’s exactly what a lot of us were asking for. I have such a massive backlog that was struggling on my original Switch, now I can finally get through those games with a solid frame rate and upscale resolution. The thing I’m most excited for is this will be the system my kids grow up on playing Mario Kart and tons of other Nintendo games. I’m so excited for how pumped they are about it. People are complaining about the battery life, but what they don’t understand is that this is substantially thinner and lighter than the steam deck and other premium handhelds that are priced up to $1,000. To the haters of the Switch 2, let us have our fun. Go enjoy your other handheld PC games and let us enjoy our Nintendo games with our families.

    Great console, terrible battery life

    The Nintendo Switch 2 console is almost perfect. Almost. The 1080p screen is a nice upgrade. The 4K capability while docked is awesome, I just wish it was also like that handheld since that's how I play the most. The upgraded memory and processor are big wins, especially noticeable with Switch 1 games. Load times are greatly reduced! The electromagnetic joycons are super cool, snapping them in and out is a breeze and there's no worry about accidentally sliding the joycon in the wrong direction and getting it stuck on the rails. The console also comes with a built in screen protector which is really nice because I don't have to go out and buy my own. Now on to the bad... it's the only fault I have found so far in the switch 2, and that's the battery life on handheld mode. Obviously this isn't a huge deal to those who only play while docked, but if you're like me and you play handheld most of the time, then it'll come as a shock how quickly the battery drains. I used to game handheld for days with the Switch 1, only charging it once it got to 10% battery or lower. With the Switch 2, the battery is almost dead within 2 or 3 hours. I haven't taken the time to actually clock the duration of the battery, but it is god awful. I'm hoping beyond hope that 3rd party accessory makers for the Switch 2 hurry up and make an external battery case for it because I can't imagine taking my Switch 2 on a long plane ride and having it die on me midway through. All in all, I give it a 4/5 stars. The console is immaculate except the battery issue which warrants the loss of a star.

    Much improved performance, larger screen, USB-C ports on the top and bottom. Almost completely backward compatible. The joy cons are much nicer too, though I'm reading they may still be liable to experience stick drift. Additionally, compared to the OLED screen on my Switch 1, this screen is worse. Worse response time, worse contrast. BUT both of these cons are outweighed by the improved performance and size. If you game docked/with a pro controller, these shouldn't concern you at all. Even so, it's the only way to play mario kart world and DK bananza. Don't feed the scalpers and buy it retail.

    The Switch 2 exceeded all my expectations. The graphics are noticeably smoother and more vibrant, and the faster loading times make a huge difference when jumping between games. I also love the upgraded screen—it looks incredible whether I’m playing docked or handheld. The battery life is solid, and everything feels more responsive overall. Nintendo really listened to what fans wanted. Backward compatibility is a huge plus, and the new titles optimized for the Switch 2 run beautifully. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading or getting your first console, this is the one to get. Zero regrets—worth every penny!

    Better than switch 1. eShop doesn't lag, the boot time is fast, but battery life is poor. The joy cons controller are magnetic versus the snap of switch 1. Different sounds too when using the system. A lot more base storage space versus switch one. Can play switch one games on switch 2

    The Nintendo Switch is a great console with the best of both worlds—you can play it at home or on the go. The game library is fantastic, and it’s super convenient for travel. Battery life could be better and Joy-Con drift is a known issue, but overall it’s an excellent system. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys versatility and Nintendo’s unique games.

    I’ve been wanting a Switch for so long, so when the Switch 2 came out, i had to buy it. I love the console because it’s hand held and easy to travel with. I’ve always been a Nintendo Girly, and have a lot of their products so this came just in time. I haven’t played on the big screen yet, but I’ll get there in due time. Mario Kart is a blast! I have so much fun and love how crispy and clear it is on the screen! Lately, I’ve been playing old school games with my online account. Great job Nintendo!

    Been playing my Switch 2 nonstop. The new games like Donkey Kong Bananza are amazing but it plays all my old switch games too, but with even better performance. The quality and feel of the console also feels premium, not cheap like the first Switch. And the screen is massive!! Picture quality is wayyy better than the original switch. Highly recommended. Just be sure to get a screen protector and a carrying case.

    Exactly What I Wanted from Nintendo's Next Console

    |

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have had this system for over a week now, and let me just say that it is absolutely everything I've wanted and more from Nintendo this generation. I got my switch for my birthday 7 years ago in 2018. I fell in love, and ever since I've spent hundreds of hours on Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, Splatoon, Pokemon, and more. (I have a total of 550 hours on smash, which is a lot for me!) Now with the switch 2, and now that I'm a lot older, I really feel like this is going to be a system I'm really going to enjoy. Especially since it's just continuing the Switch line of consoles, and making it so much better! So to start with the things I love about it so far: I love the new design. This console definitely feels like a $450 device. The metal-ish combined with plastic-y design feels so premium, and when I held it for the first time, I really felt like it was premium, and worth it (in terms of design). Next, I love the magnetic joy cons. This was a great idea, Nintendo because it's a great new gimmick that is just really cool this time around. On the original switch, it was the satisfying slide onto the joy con rail. Now it's the magnetic 'CLICK' that is even more satisfying than the original method. The joy cons this time around, with the magnetism, are also way more durable and sturdy than the original Switch joy cons! I can't really even get them off of the system by just pulling anymore. (That was an issue later in my old switch's life!) Next, I HAVE to talk about the games, specifically Mario Kart World. I have absolutely loved this game, and I've already put in 15 hours in 1 week. I won't spoil anything, but this game is massive, and just what we all needed from a Mario Kart refresh 10 years later! I also have loved having the backwards compatibility this time around. The system transfer brought over all of my old games, and now I can play most of them (if not all) on the new system, and some with huge Switch 2 editions and upgrades! The console's power has also been something that I've really liked. It really has delivered on the power this time around. It isn't quite ps5 level, but it's in between Xbox series S and PS4 Pro, which for me, is perfect, actually beyond perfect! So all in all, the system I have absolutely loved. I also can't wait to see what other Nintendo games are in store for the rest of this year, and on. Honestly for my concerns, the only thing I would say that I don't like about the system, along with many others, are the prices. $80 for a video game is really pushing it, and luckily I bought the bundle for Mario Kart World so I saved $30. But I won't be buying any other $80 video games unless I think it is genuinely worth it! All in all, great console, Nintendo. Keep it up, and I hope everyone who's read this now has a better understanding of what a great console this is!

    Nintendo has done it again—and this time, they've broken the speed limit of joy. The Switch 2 is not just an upgrade; it’s a leap forward in imagination, technology, and sheer playability. Sleek, snappy, and whisper-quiet, it blends console-grade power with the soul of handheld gaming. The OLED+ display is jaw-droppingly vibrant, the loading times are near-instant, and the new adaptive haptics make every game feel alive in your hands. It’s everything fans dreamed of—and more. But the real crown jewel? Mario Kart World. This is not just another kart racer—this is the ultimate celebration of everything Mario Kart has ever been, plus everything we never knew we needed. Imagine world tour-style tracks, gorgeous open-world hubs between cups, real-time online tournaments with 100+ racers, weather systems that change the game, and kart customization so deep you’ll feel like a motorsport engineer in the Mushroom Kingdom. From gliding through a futuristic Neo-Tokyo track at sunset, to speeding across a frozen waterfall in Antarctica, every single course feels like a work of art you can race on. The soundtrack? Pure serotonin. The visuals? So clean and colorful they look unreal. The controls? Silk-smooth. The competitive and co-op modes? Addictive and full of surprises. Mario Kart World isn't just a game—it’s a global phenomenon waiting to happen. It blends nostalgia, innovation, and multiplayer magic into the most exhilarating racing experience Nintendo has ever crafted. Final Verdict: If fun had a face, it would be smiling behind the wheel of a red kart on the Switch 2. Whether you're a veteran racer or new to the track, Mario Kart World on Switch 2 is a MUST-PLAY masterclass in game design and entertainment. Score: 11/10 – “Too fun to stop. Too pretty to blink.”

    It's as simple as the title. Runs smooth, smaller than other handhelds in the market, has an already impressive library of switch games, cheaper than a Steam Deck, easier setup. A good family console.
