Customer Ratings & Reviews

An excellent console, now bring on the games!! Many improvements over the original in every way imaginable. Feels more premium, has a better screen, the buttons are bigger, decent battery life, magnetic joy cons are amazing. I can’t wait to see what comes out for this thing in the future.

Great release of the Switch 2! Visuals are stunning and gameplay feels smooth. I’ve enjoyed Nintendo games all my life and playing future Nintendo games with this updated tech has me stoked. Only disappointment console-wise is the battery life. To this, the Switch 2 feels like a catch-up with other consoles and handhelds (namely the Steam Deck). Doesn’t have that feel of exceeding current tech. If you’re a big Nintendo fan, make plans to get it. If you’re not that into Nintendo games but enjoy video games in general, may need to put more thought into purchasing.

Switch 2 – Worth Every Penny! I just got my hands on the Nintendo Switch 2 from Best Buy, and wow—this thing is a beast! The upgraded visuals are jaw-dropping, and the speed boost makes everything feel so snappy. I’ve been diving into my favorite games and the experience is smoother, brighter, and more immersive than ever. The new Joy-Cons feel like they were made for my hands, and the battery life? Chef’s kiss. Best Buy nailed it with fast shipping and great packaging. If you're on the fence, jump off—it’s totally worth it.

I like the new size for the Switch and the magnetic Joy Cons. Much easier and user friendly than needing to slide them on and off. The bundle is the way to go if you are a Mario Kart fan. You are saving $30 off the regular price of the game. The graphics are good, but I don't notice much of a difference. Sound is better as well.

I was against buying one for the longest time but they are kind of forcing everyone to if you want to play the new games. Pretty soon they will only release to the Switch 2 and the 1 will be obsolete. However, I caved. Because I love Pokemon and wanted to keep playing the games. I was honestly surprised at how much better the 2 is. It far exceeded my expectations. They really improved this console compared to the original and the OLED. I think its definitely worth it.

Great system overall, its pretty much a "2" really so no major surprises Sofware wise, if you like the original Switch you will love this one. It is far more comfortable than the original one, I could finish Donkey Kong Bananza on portable mode, in the original I could not play any game more than an hour. The 2 major drawbacks of this console are 3 No oled screen whcih is a shame. Although powerful for a portable considering the price I think Nintendo could have made it a bit more powerful to secure 60 fps 3rd party games The UI is way too simple and lack customization just like the original. All that aside is a great console thats worth the money.

Switch 2 is an excellent console for both kids and adults. We’re having a great time with it and have deemed it a worthy follow up to the original Switch console. The big screen helps a lot for older family members with visibility issues and the joycons are very comfortable. I haven’t noticed any drift yet but we’ll see.

Im loving this device. Out the gate a lot of the enhanced games run way better now on the switch 2 over the original. This device performs way better than i expected and looked better in person than online. I see the hate online over it but if this is the console you want just get it. The current library of games as I write this is low for the switch 2 games but with upcoming releases this device is going to truly shine even more. I find the new magnetic joycons to ve very secure and should take a greatt amount of force to remove them without using the release latch.

Love the Nintendo Switch 2, despite there being only one Nintendo game at launch they delivered in being able to play switch 1 games, like both Zelda’s and free updates to others to make them more standard for 2025. When I heard about the Switch 2, all I really cared about is that it was just a better switch, so those games that didn’t run well on the original switch can now hit their frame caps. Another thing about the Switch 2 I wanna mention is that it has this new mouse mode for games that play better with a mouse, Which was really cool and puts it over Playstation and Xbox in my eyes. The Joycons themselves are okay, definitely better than the old ones for the Switch 1, the sticks are a bit too sensitive. The GameChat and built in Microphone into the Switch 2 works really well and sounds great, it filters out background noises and you can even talk from super far away and your pals will be able to hear you great. Mario Kart World is a great switch 2 game and excites me for the new ones to come, a perfect example of a great nintendo game. The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great package especially if you get Mario Kart World with it, definitely worth it.

I love the Nintendo switch 2. My first Nintendo product I bought with my own money. I am very impressed with the design as well as the performance I highly recommend.

I particularly enjoy using this product on the daily. I’m one of the few people who have never owned a switch console, so I haven’t much to compare it to, however what I can say is I am thoroughly happy with the Switch 2, particularly when it is connected to a capable 4K display. It takes care of the fast battery drainage problem I noticed, though it could just be a software issue. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys handheld consoles. The only regret I have is not waiting until the Pokemon Z-A switch 2 bundle.

The switch 2 hands down is the best console this year!! Amazing graphics, handling is way better the quality of the games are out of this world and not to mention handheld is perfect! Best money I've ever spent!!

Nintendo did a great job of improving on an already great console while not overthinking it and changing the things that worked. The new joy cons feel even more premium, the magnetic attachment is addicting, and the larger size makes them feel much better if using a singly joy con for gaming (i.e. local play on Mario Kart with friends). Screen is larger and comes with a built in screen protector which balances not being too bulky when in handheld mode while not feeling to small. Kick stand is also a HUGE upgrade. Also, a lot of the negatives have more to do with the launch lineup (which isn't an issue with the console itself but Nintendo release time frame or decision making) and because people think naming it Switch 2 is the equivalent to the Wii U debacle. For some reason people seem to forget that other companies create a product and just use a numbering system for their next iteration (PS1, PS2, PS3, iPhone X, iPhone XI, iPhone XII, Galaxy, tablets, etc). Easily the best handheld gaming experience, the steam deck is unwieldy compared.

Bigger screen! Fast and fun! You can argue catered more for kids! But Nintendo exclusives always delivers! Waiting for Metroid 4! Until then it will be Mario Kart and Donkey Kong!

When the Switch first got released, I got lucky and found a Best Buy that had some in stock the morning after the midnight release. The console had the typical 1st gen issues (overheating and drifting). When the Switch 2 was announced my boys both saved up to buy it. One bought it at Best Buy and the other at another retailer. The one who bought it from the other retailer received it on release day. The one who bought from Best Buy did not. In fact, the console from Best Buy was shipped from NY to Florida on release day. It was expected to arrive two days later, but a problem from the freight company made it another day late. The purchase from Best Buy was the bundle with Mario Kart. Both boys say the performance of the console is much better than the original Switch. That performance improvement is whether used as a handheld or connected to the TV. The expense of the express SD card has held up those purchases, but the on-board memory has been sufficient so far. They are both still waiting to get cases and other accessories which will probably be when they finally take a break from playing.

Switch 2 has improved literally everything from its predecessor and is so much more enjoyable to play Switch games on. Better performance, improved graphics and the joycons are the best they have ever been! Highly recommend picking one of these up when in stock!

The game is awesome, I love the bigger screen as well. Flawless. Only thing I don’t like is that the battery life is not all that great in handheld mode but it’s not bad either.

Great system coming from the first NS. Battery could be better but it runs amazing game titles. Both handheld and docked experiences are great.

Love this Nintendo switch 2. So happy I was able to get my hands on this. The larger screen size is a great welcome and the new joy cons are mint. So far all my switch games are backwards compatible, and run great. Boost a few of your old games too like Pokémon, Scarlet and Violet. So happy with this purchase.

Great improvement from switch1. bigger and better. Still accommodates and able to play Switch1 games on this console.
