Customer Ratings & Reviews

This device has been a great upgrade from my OLED switch with a larger screen and a more premium feel. The backwards compatibility is great because all your old switch games carry over to the Switch 2 with upgraded visuals. The price is a little higher but its to be expected with the rising cost. Save $30 by going with this version instead of buying mario kart world and the console seperately.

This is AMAZING puece of tech for you and the whole family. It may not be an OLED but I've honestly not seen a major difference in display. The graphics and smoother gameplay is next level. Especially when playing it on the television. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the battery isn't the best. You have to carry a charger or be at home if you plan to play it for over 3hrs. Other than that I'd recommend this to anyone.

The console is a great upgrade from the switch. I’m primarily a handheld user and the extra screen size is noticeable. The updated joycons are leagues better. Not too many 1st party games yet but the ones that do exist are great.

I’ve had the original Switch for years, and the Switch 2 is exactly what I was hoping for. The screen looks way better (especially in handheld mode), games load much faster, and everything just feels smoother. I love that I can still play all my old games, but now they run better. The new Joy-Cons feel sturdier too. If you’re on the fence, go for it—this feels like the Switch we were waiting for.

The Switch 2 is an amazing upgrade from the Switch 1. It is fast, better graphics. It doesnt have the best battery if it isnt being charged. So if you travel a lot get a external battery for it.

Everything about this device is great, minus some from the battery life, which feels a little disappointing for longer couch sessions. Very impressed that it doesn’t overheat, and runs very well both docked and in handheld mode. The build feels way more solid than Switch 1 and the JoyCons feel much more stable.

I already have 1 month with the console and I don't stop playing, I loved that they made the screen bigger and it is light very comfortable to grip, 100% recommended

Best portable device EVER!!! So so so glad I had the opportunity to pre-order the NS2 Mario bundle for my wife. Seeing her light up after opening it was definitely worth it! The quality is unmatched, graphical fidelity is superb, I would recommend it to any casual or hardcore gamer!

Never had Nintendo so I am very happy with it so far. The graphics are very good in handheld mode. The battery is not the best, but I’m used to it with handheld.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great console. I like the upgraded graphics and that it’s faster when scrolling through the eshop. It is a good deal with the Mario Kart included since it’s a $80 game so you save $30. One of the few things this new system is lacking is new games when it first came out. It should have came out with DK banaza to go along with Mario Kart because Mario Kart was is a short game but the graphics are really good and it is a fun game. The great thing about the Nintendo Switch 2 is that it backwards compatible. One other thing about Nintendo is that they should make more physical game cartridges and get rid of the game key cards. Digital is ok but I’d rather have a physical copy or digital copy because you can’t play the game if you don’t have game key cartridge in the system if you want to play a game that is game key cartridge and if you have digital version there’s no need to worry about it you have game key cartridge. Having physical games available is what gives a better experience when buying new video games. People want something to look at and hold and is better for those who like to trade or collect. But overall the Nintendo Switch 2 is a good console which I believe will be even better with time as new Nintendo Switch 2 games are released that take advantage of the new systems hardware. I ask Nintendo to please take their time with pokemon generation 10 and other future legends games because when you make the graphics not just for the pokemon but for the environment better you’ll see better feedback and sales. Also if possible make different difficulty modes like easy/normal/hard would make the games more challenging and fun. Also making good music for the games will be Make the games more fun! I look forward to the new Yoshi and hope to see a new Mario maker 3 , new 2d Mario and also don’t forget about Starfox !! Star fox was missed last generation and would help give the other IPs a break . A brand new starfox in 4K would be awesome and addition to starfox zero remaster in 4K with adjustment of controls because Wii U was a little awkward and star fox 64 remake !

I picked up the console at launch. Definitely an overall improvement from the first Switch. The performance is better, the controllers feel nice, and transferring data from an old switch is extremely easy. However, the products for the Switch 2 (including many of the games) are very pricy. Expect a $70+ price tag on first party Nintendo games for this console, and don't expect them to go on sale. The durability of the console is excellent in terms of functionality (excluding joycon drift). However, the console is extremely prone to cosmetic damage. The built-in screen protector is extremely easy to scratch. Even a fingernail can cause permanent cosmetic damage to the plastic screen. Get a glass screen protector if you plan on traveling a lot with the console (do not remove the plastic screen protector). If you are buying this for your children, please do not let them try to modify the console or the software whatsoever. I did that with the Wii and 3DS as a child and faced no consequences. However, this console is different. Nintendo WILL ban you permanently from many of their services if they catch you trying to modify anything on the console.

I love this new switch. Now this is coming from someone who doesn’t really game. I prefer Mario games and easy pace games really but I think the switch 2 is amazing. I love the way it looks and the games look amazing too, in my opinion.

I only purchased it because i wanted the updated graphics on BOTW/TOTK It was worth it . The texture and lighting as well as everything else. Added 4k when docked and a crisp 1080p in handheld. Battery last about 3 hours or so. Price of wanting more power i guess. There adding an exclusive FromSoftware videogame called blood dusk and thats another added reason why i got this.

The Switch 2 plays well with good graphics, built-in memory, and AMAZING kickstand. I actually like playing it as a handheld device but the battery only lasts around 3 or 4 hours. Could he worse but could be better. I like how you can control the battery life so that the battery doesn’t overcharge and cause issues further down thr line.

Switch 2 is a nice upgrade from Switch 1. Went to midnight launch event and found that more "fun" than the actual Switch 2 itself. In time with newer games released for it I think it will shine but not a 100% necessary upgrade. Screen is nice, larger joy cons are also very appreciated. Speakers are nice as well in handheld. I'm not sure I fully appreciate the "surround sound" Nintendo touts. Build quality seems on par with Nintendo products. Battery is challenging - I mostly play in docked but Switch 1 definitely had longer handheld time. If you need/want the "latest" and "greatest" then sure, upgrade, but if you have a Switch 1 and would be taking debt to buy this, then hold off for now.

As a family of four, finding a gaming system that works for everyone—from the adults to our 12-and 9 year-old—isn’t easy. The Nintendo Switch 2 has honestly been one of the best upgrades we’ve made for our home entertainment, and here’s why. First, the improvements are noticeable right away. The new screen is brighter and sharper, which makes a huge difference when the kids are playing in handheld mode. Our 12-year-old loves the smoother graphics and faster load times, especially for action games. For the adults, it just feels more polished and modern. What we liked most is how family-friendly it is. With so many of us, the ability to quickly switch between docked mode and handheld is a lifesaver. We can have a group playing Mario Kart on the TV while someone else uses the handheld for homework breaks or quiet time. The upgraded Joy-Cons feel sturdier too—important in a house where controllers get “enthusiastically” used. Multiplayer nights are where the Switch 2 shines. The system handles multiple users and profiles easily. Local multiplayer feels smoother, and online play has been much more stable compared to our old Switch. If we had one complaint, it’s that some of the accessories and extra controllers add up in cost when buying for the family. But the quality of the system itself makes it worth it. Overall, the Nintendo Switch 2 has been a great fit for our large family and especially for our 12-year-old and 9- year old, who use it daily. It’s fast, fun, and flexible—exactly what we needed.

The new nintendo switch 2 provides a bigger screen and controllers with more immersive gameplay, at the expense of handheld batter life (about 1 hour). Well worth it for both docked and handheld, understanding that external batteries are common.

My son is obsessed! After many years of owning the original Switch we upgraded to the newest model and he has been playing non-stop! He loves the improved graphics and larger screen. Was a great buy!

The Nintendo Switch OLED is everything I hoped for and more! The upgraded OLED screen is absolutely stunning, the colors are brighter, the blacks are deeper, and every game feels more alive. Playing titles like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Mario Kart looks breathtaking compared to the original model. The enhanced audio is another pleasant surprise. Whether docked or in handheld mode, the sound is clearer and more immersive, making long gaming sessions even better. The wider kickstand is a game-changer too, it feels sturdy and makes tabletop gaming with family so much easier. Battery life is solid, setup is seamless, and the portability makes it perfect for both at-home play and gaming on the go. It truly feels like Nintendo perfected an already amazing console. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade, this is the version you want. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We love the switch 2. The new Mario kart makes it worth it and the screen size is nice. Controllers are different from the original switch which we like. We play this as a family a lot. So far it’s great.
