Customer Ratings & Reviews

I picked up the Switch 2 on release day, and it’s been a great upgrade so far. In handheld mode, the screen looks brighter, sharper, and a bit larger, which makes games feel nicer to play on the go. The controllers also feel more solid and a little more premium than the older model. When I hook it up to the TV, the improvements are even clearer. The picture looks sharper, the frame rate feels smoother, and I don’t notice the little slowdowns I used to see on the first Switch. It just runs better overall. The only downside for me right now is the limited game selection, but I’m sure more titles will show up as time goes on. It did come with Mario Kart, and that has already been a lot of fun with friends and family. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed using it and I’m glad I bought it.

The system works so nicely and well fast smoothly I really love the stand on back just don’t like how the memory chip goes into system. The mouse works good just don’t know what games it uses the controller as a mouse controller on & the controller how it snap back into the system is so different, I like it better on the old switch system when it slides into the system & holding this new switch 2 system is a bit more heavy than the old one & I like the bigger screen on the system as long as you don’t have to hold it’s good.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Nintendo Switch 2 — Absolutely Worth It! The Nintendo Switch 2 is everything I hoped for and more. The upgraded performance makes games run smoother and look better than ever, and the new screen is bright, crisp, and a huge step up from the original. I love how quickly it switches between handheld and docked mode, and the improved battery life really makes a difference on the go. Nintendo kept the charm of the original Switch but added the power and features fans have been waiting for. Whether you’re a longtime Nintendo fan or new to the system, the Switch 2 feels like the perfect all-around console. Highly recommended!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a solid upgrade in every way. Performance is noticeably better, games run smoother, and load times are faster compared to the original Switch. The screen looks great, and it still keeps the flexibility of handheld and docked play. Setup was easy and everything feels more responsive. If you liked the original Switch, this is definitely worth upgrading to.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is really good and lives up to the hype. The performance feels smooth, games look great, and everything runs faster and more responsive than before. I love how easy it is to switch between handheld and docked mode, and the overall design feels more refined and comfortable. Battery life is solid, and loading times are noticeably improved. It’s a great upgrade and definitely worth it for both longtime Nintendo fans and new players.

Even with the price, I still find this a great step in right direction for Nintendo. The only thing I wish they had done differently, is change the UI but that can always be addressed with updates. The actual hardware itself has been great. Size of the screen, joycons are a better improvement over the Switch 1, and everything is much faster compared to Switch 1

Another amazing release from Nintendo! My kids love the new Switch 2. The controllers are a lot easier to detach and manage so less likely to get broken during play. The graphics are amazing and definitely stand up to the other systems we have in the house. I love that they made the system backwards compatible since my family has a ton of Switch games already. This is definitely a recommended purchase especially if you have a family that loves to play games together.

To start with: my thoughts on the Switch 2 are complicated by its price and the rising prices of games in general. $450 - $500 is no small ask for the successor to the perpetually $300 - $350 Switch. I agonized over making the purchase for quite some time. Even now I can't say I'm as 'happy' with it after purchase as the Switch 1...but perhaps that has to do with the fact it feels so much like the Switch 1 at times that I forget it's the Switch 2? That is probably one of the Switch 2's greatest strengths and weaknesses for me. It feels like the Switch, but better in pretty much every way. Which isn't a problem, but the UI is also nearly identical. In some ways it's like I didn't purchase a new console at all, so it lacks that 'new console' feel. But this is hardly some major issue and more a personal hang up, I suppose. The actual device itself is excellent. Everything runs so much smoother than the original, including many games from the original Switch. The sheer backward compatibility is wonderful, as well. After so many generations of Nintendo consoles that lacked any backwards compatibility, the Switch 2 is a breath of fresh air. I've spent about as much time on older games than on the ones I purchased for Switch 2, in fact. Vampire Survivors in particular runs way better without any compatibility updates having happened. The battery life is about as expected. Not amazing on graphically intensive games, but you can squeeze a lot more out of it by playing games that take less power. Also: there's an option you can set to only charge the device to about 85 - 90%, extending the long-term life of the battery considerably. I appreciate that after my launch Switch 1's battery started dying recently. Another pleasant surprise? The new Joy-Cons. I've long loved the split controller concept, starting with the Wii and its nunchuk. I never realized how much arm straight I've had from constantly holding my hands together until then. Unfortunately, the Switch 1 Joy-Cons had a lot of issues - size being one of them, connection problems, drifting, etc. While I haven't had my Switch 2 for long enough to say if the drifting was fixed, I've had zero connection issues with the new Joy-Cons. They're also a much better size for my hand and they even feel weightier and less cheap than the originals. A huge improvement, and if they truly corrected the Joy-Con drift? Then I'll call them just about perfect for me. Uh, can't say much about the mouse controls though, haven't used them much as yet. On the downside, while you do get a decent amount of internal storage (256gb)? If you want to expand that you need SD Express cards specifically. I didn't know this and so the old SD card I used for extra storage on my Switch is useless, which means I would need to spend even more money for it. Now being fair: 256gb is significantly more than the original Switch's 32gb. And Nintendo actually knows how to use compression to get even their largest games down to about 20 gigs in size. So it's not that big of a deal, especially if you don't have a massive library. Just something to keep in mind. I got the bundle that comes with Mario Kart World too, which is a very fun game. I admit I am less into racing games and can only play piecemeal, so I had to purchase a few more games that would keep my attention better. But if you're somebody who'll get really absorbed by a Mario Kart game, this is a really good deal. Overall, I love this thing. It has its downsides, price more than anything else, but what isn't suffering price issues lately? But if you can justify the price (or save up for it), then I highly recommend it. It's a wonderful console that acts as a perfect successor to the original Switch. Just don't break your bank purchasing it, yeah?

Nintendo Switch 2 with the Mario Kart bundle is absolutely amazing. This console works great for gaming on the go or on the big screen. The Nintendo Switch 2 is easy to set up, fast to install, and the Mario Kart bundle makes it even more fun right out of the box. Graphics are sharp, gameplay is smooth, and the performance is a big step up. The controllers feel solid, battery life is strong, and it’s easy to use for players of all ages. Hard work clearly went into the design—it feels premium and reliable. The Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle is perfect for families, friends, and anyone who loves amazing gaming. Best Buy service was fast, the store pickup was quick, and everything went smoothly. I would definitely buy the Nintendo Switch 2 again and highly recommend this Mario Kart bundle to anyone who wants an amazing, easy to use console that works flawlessly.

I’ve been really enjoying the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s sleek, responsive, and truly brings the joy of handheld and docked gaming together beautifully. The performance is excellent. Games load swiftly, visuals are crisp, and the system handles multitasking and large titles effortlessly. Whether navigating menus or jumping into fast-paced gameplay, the experience feels smooth and polished. Storage capacity is decent out of the box, but pure digital gamers will want to add a micro-SD card sooner rather than later. Given the high console price, I’d prefer a bit more built-in flexibility, but I appreciate that expanding storage is straightforward when needed. Controllers feel solid and responsive so far. I’m keeping an eye on potential stick drift, but at this stage, everything is working great, and the ergonomics are comfortable for extended play sessions. Joy-Con fit is a mixed bag. Compared to the OLED model, the Joy-Con 2 feel noticeably larger and more rounded. That’s totally expected given the bigger 7.9-inch screen and chunkier chassis. For my hands, it’s a bit more to grip, but not uncomfortable, in fact, the size contributes to a more substantial, premium feel. It’s a fair trade-off. Extra breadth adds heft, but also makes the controls feel more solid and intentional. Mario Kart World is where my main frustrations lie. The game leans heavily on “intermission” tracks. Long, straight cross-country connections that feel more like filler than fun. They break the flow of actual racing, replacing the classic three-lap circuits that made the series iconic. Before a recent patch, “Random” votes in online mode reliably brought back traditional multi-lap races. Now, “Random” often selects these intermission tracks instead, making three-lap races rare unless you play via friend-only or custom lobbies. Community feedback has been loud: many players find three-lap tracks more engaging and better designed, while intermissions feel generic and repetitive. It seems Nintendo is prioritizing the open-world structure, even if it comes at the expense of player choice and the classic race experience.

The system I have been waiting for since its release and I am so pleazed with it. Excellent performance, screen, and i am addicted to taking the joy cons off the screen witht the magnetic feature. Wish there was a little more storage space to it but over all its an amazing console.

Alright, spent some good time with the Switch 2, and here's the lowdown: It still feels like a Switch, just a bit bigger and more solid. The 1080p, 120Hz screen is a clear upgrade, making games look sharper and smoother. Those new magnetic Joy-Cons are awesome – super satisfying to attach, and they feel much more secure. Performance-wise, it's definitely got more power. Games run smoother, and everything feels snappier. It's not a powerhouse like other consoles, but it's a huge step up for portable gaming. Should you upgrade? If you have the original Switch, yes, definitely. If you've got an OLED, it's still a really nice upgrade for the performance and new features, but maybe not a total must-have. Basically, it's everything good about the Switch, just... better.

Greatly improved from it's predecessor. The controllers are much better with the magnetic attachment although I'm unsure why the sticks aren't Hall effect given this thing is brand new. I do like the mouse style functionality that the joy cons can assume which is a neat addition but its a bit gimmicky and probably not comfortable to use long term. Nintendo added a second USB-C port on the top of the system so you can plug chargers or accessories in on the bottom or top of the device. The screen size is bigger and I prefer the dock on this one as well as the improved storage capacity although I wish 3rd party docks like my Mirabox 36W (Switch 1) dock were compatible so I could take a second one without having to unplug everything from the TV. Performance is much improved and 4K looks great for Zelda (if you buy the upgrade... ) but battery life is still not the best and it needs MicroSD express cards to expand the internal storage so your old SD cards aren't compatible. I think if they'd opted for a 2230 NVME instead, it would have been a better expansion solution than the cards but I get there's a lot to cram into a small space. Overall a solid upgrade for the switch but could benefit from some minor tweaks. I'd love a variant/2nd gen model with a 1tb NVME, Hall effect controllers and a larger battery.

I've only plaid a few games on this console but so far it is pretty nice. The screen is much larger, the graphics and resolution looks great and the controllers are comfortable. Though it is bigger, it feels more cumbersome to hold as hand held, but the detachable controllers are nice. It's much easier to use them as single controllers too since they are larger and the kick stand on the screen is much better to balance on a table. If you have the spare money to upgrade to the switch 2, it's worth it.

Positives: Big and beautiful screen, almost Oled like for colors and contrast. Improved gtaphics and smoothness. Runs games much better and they look great. When playing multiplayer the controllers are much more comfortable and easier to use due to their size increase. Same familiar experience for the UI, if you know how to use a regular switch, you wont need to figure out hot to use this one. Extra usb C port, better more adjustable stand, and access to bigger games due to the performance increase. Plays switch cartridges. The build on hard drive space of 256GB is more than plenty to hold tons of games. Negatives: battery life is notably worse but, just means you need a battery pack or charger nearby for extended sessions. Hand held mode has terrible ergonomics. As an adult with smaller hands it hurts to use after a short time. Taking the controllers off and using the accessory that links them together is infinitely more comfortable. Game prices are ridiculous. You cannot use a standard mini SD card anymore. It Must be an SD Express which currently only comes in smaller sizes, its not even needed though because games are much much smaller and you can fit tons as mentioned. Final Thoughts: I sold my oled switch in advance knowing this was coming. I have yet to finish games like Zelda so I will benefit playing older games with the improvements in performance. Its a good buy if you can sell your previous switch for this just because its better in every way except battery life, which can be mitigated. If youve beaten all the previous switch games then im not sure this is worth it. Its very expense with only one to two launch titles. I did not get far in cyberpunk so I may get it. It just depends on your situation. I would not have any FOMO though because theres only a few games that are “new” some of which you may not even care to play or beat already.

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.

I recently bought a Nintendo Switch, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! The flexibility of being able to play on the TV or on the go is amazing, and the performance is super smooth. Games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe look great and run flawlessly. The Joy-Cons are fun to use, especially for multiplayer sessions with friends and family. It’s the perfect mix of fun, portability, and great game selection—definitely worth every penny!

The Switch 2 is a strong upgrade with a bigger 1080p screen, sturdier Joy-Con 2 controllers, and smoother performance in both handheld and docked mode (up to 4K). Backward compatibility and launch exclusives like Mario Kart World make it appealing, though battery life is shorter and the $449.99 price is steep. Overall, it’s a polished much better system then the first generation switch.

The Switch 2 is everything I hoped for in an upgrade. It has a bigger, sharper screen that makes handheld gaming a lot more immersive, and the new Joy-Cons feel sturdier and more comfortable. Games run smoother and look better, especially docked in 4K. Upgrades packs for Switch games - at least the ones I’ve tried - are worth it. Zelda Breath of the Wild and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom both look incredible. The Switch 2 is backwards compatible, so games that don’t have an upgrade are still playable. Battery life could be better when playing demanding games, and I do wish it had an OLED display like the Switch OLED model. That said, this is a fantastic system that feels like a natural step up from the original.

I picked up the Switch 2 with the Mario Kart World bundle and it has been awesome from the start. The Switch 2 is noticeably faster than the original system. Menus load quicker, games start almost instantly, and everything feels smoother overall. The upgraded screen makes a big difference too. Colors look brighter, details are clearer, and it just feels more modern to use whether I’m playing handheld or docked. The new Joy-Cons feel sturdier and more comfortable in the hand. I haven’t had any drifting or connection issues. The whole system feels like a proper upgrade while still keeping everything people loved about the original. Mario Kart World included in the bundle is a great bonus. It plays perfectly on the new hardware with smooth performance and vibrant visuals. It’s one of those games that’s fun whether you’re playing alone or with friends, and having it included makes this bundle feel like a really good value. Setting up the console was quick and simple. Transferring data from my old Switch didn’t take long, and connecting to my TV was plug and play. Storage feels more generous than before and I like that I can still expand it with a microSD card if I need to. Overall, this bundle feels like the best way to jump into the Switch 2. You get the upgraded console plus a top tier game right out of the box. Whether you’re upgrading or buying a Switch for the first time, this is definitely the bundle to go with.
