Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have never owned a Nintendo switch and I’m so happy with my decision

It’s awesome!!!! Wooohooo yippe!!! I’m going to play it every night!

Good didnt launch with many games but for sure better than switch 1

Best Buy always has the hook up for the Tech I need.

Controls feel great. The quality is amazing, and easy to set up

Mario and I love the switch 2, magnets are fun and cool

Great fast and new. Mario kart is more fun than ever.

Very fast order very fast good price and very happy

Not the most expensive console, but DEFINITELY the most expensive games.

Like it so far. Wish they had a few more games and Netflix. I’m sure Netflix and the switch 2 games will come.

Good but Nintendo is a bad company and has become anti consumer in the recent years.

The product arrived incomplete and I have been complaining for several days without receiving a solution. Purchase Bundle Switch 2 + Mario Kart Game, and they only sent me the Switch 2 console. It was a gift for my son, and I couldn't give it to him in its entirety for him to enjoy.

Switch 2 is cool. Needs some games and price of console is a bit high.

Waiting in line was worth it. Customer service good.

Admittedly the Switch 2's release is a little underwhelming compared to the original Switch's. Hopefully in time the games will make this console a must-buy like Breath of the Wild did for the original Switch.

Battery doesn’t last long. Other than that it’s fun

This review is for the console only since best buy did a good job on delivering the switch on time. I got it the day it was released. Right now my switch is unusable i honestly dont know what happened it just randomly turned off while i was playing it and when it turned back on i couldn't get the joycons to reconnect. No matter what i tried they wont coknect i tried everything. I ultimately factory reset it but still nothing. I dont know how to fix.

I give the item one star, because the Switch 2 with Mario Kart was not the item that was sent to me. I was sent the basic Switch 2 system, but was still charged the same price as the Mario Kart edition. I also had to spend extra for the Mario Kart game through the Nintendo store, due to the circumstances I was in I was unable to send the console back or wait even more days for one to come. The roadies had already sent part of my order to another address so I did not trust it after this experience.

The Nintendo Switch 2 delivers a noticeably sleeker package—thinner at 0.55 inches, with a premium matte finish, sturdier kickstand, and refined 10.7-inch-wide body weighing just 1.2 lbs with controllers attached. It's more portable yet imposing, blending familiarity with polish. Magnetic Joy-Con 2 controllers are a revelation—a satisfying snap-on/off beats the old rail system's wobble and wear, with larger grips, chunkier buttons, and mouse mode for precise pointing in games like Fortnite. No drift issues yet, and they're comfier for extended play. The 7.9-inch 1080p LCD shines in handheld with HDR, 120Hz VRR, and pretty crisp visuals. Some downsides to note. Battery lasts 2-6.5 hours (often 2-3 for AAA like Mario Kart World), shorter than OLED. Wish they carried over the OLED screen as the LCD shows some ghosting vs. OLED blacks.

The Evolution of Play: A Review of the Nintendo Switch 2 The original Nintendo Switch revolutionized gaming by truly putting the "home console" in our hands. Seven years later, the question on everyone's mind is: Can lightning strike twice? With the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo doesn't just aim for lightning—they've brought a whole storm, refining a winning formula into a next-generation powerhouse that honors its legacy while boldly leaping forward. First Impressions: A Sleek, Familiar, yet Premium Feel Unboxing the Switch 2 feels like meeting an old friend who just got back from the gym. The console itself sports a similar, iconic silhouette but now features a slimmer bezel around the screen, allowing for a full 8-inch OLED display that is breathtakingly vibrant. The new Joy-Cons attach with a more satisfying, solid click, addressing a minor but common concern from the first generation. The overall build quality feels more premium, signaling that this is a significant upgrade, not just a minor refresh. Performance: Where the Real Magic Happens This is the heart of the upgrade, and it does not disappoint. While Nintendo keeps official specs close to its chest, the leap in performance is immediately apparent. Visual Fidelity: Games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, when played via backward compatibility, run at a rock-solid 60 frames per second in full 1080p handheld mode. Docked, the console confidently outputs stunning 4K resolution using NVIDIA's DLSS technology. This means games are not only sharper but also richer, with more detailed textures, better lighting, and draw distances that make open worlds feel truly limitless. Load Times: Say goodbye to lengthy loading screens. Fast-traveling in massive games is nearly instantaneous, keeping you immersed in the experience. Gameplay: Refined and Expanded The new Joy-Cons feature improved analog sticks with Hall Effect sensors, virtually eliminating the dreaded "Joy-Con drift." Haptic feedback is more nuanced, allowing you to feel the difference between walking on grass, sand, or cobblestones. The console also introduces new, innovative gameplay features that developers are already leveraging, promising unique experiences we can't yet imagine. The Library: The Best of Both Worlds The Switch 2 launches with the ultimate advantage: an incredible library from day one. Full backward compatibility with both physical and digital Switch 1 games means your entire collection gets an instant, free upgrade. Playing Super Mario Odyssey or Animal Crossing: New Horizons with enhanced performance feels like rediscovering them all over again. Coupled with launch titles like a stunning new 3D Mario game and a teaser for the next Monster Hunter running flawlessly, the message is clear: the Switch 2 is the definitive place to play, both past and future. The Verdict: A Must-Own for Everyone The Nintendo Switch 2 is a masterclass in iterative design. It understands what made its predecessor a cultural phenomenon and focuses its upgrades precisely where they matter most: performance, display quality, and build refinement. It doesn't abandon the playful, accessible soul of the Switch; it elevates it. Final Score: 9.5/10 Pros: Massive generational leap in power and visual fidelity, beautiful new OLED screen, full backward compatibility, improved Joy-Cons, innovative new features. Cons: Battery life, while decent, can be shorter when pushing maximum performance in handheld mode. The premium feel comes with a slightly higher price point. Whether you're a lifelong Nintendo fan or someone who missed the first Switch, the Switch 2 is an essential purchase. It’s a confident, polished, and incredibly fun console that secures Nintendo's place at the forefront of creative and accessible gaming for years to come.
