Large screen with high definition and quality graphics! Nintendo is certainly keeping up with the times!

Worth the upgrade! I know lots are hesitant because of the lack of games and price but its worth it in my opionion. You get a larger better screen, better joy cons, improved aesthetics, 4k and docked mode!

The switch 2 is such a good upgrade from the switch 1. The processing speed, graphics, and screen size makes this the perfect upgrade

Should probably be 3 stars but I’ll give it 4 because I never had the original Switch. Not sure this is worth it for people who have Switch 1. It should really be called a Switch Pro since it is essentially the same console as the previous model with some marginal upgrades. It now has the power of a PS4 so I guess that’s good. Overall it’s fun, and nice for kids but I’m finding the game selection to be pretty bad and basically right now we just have a bunch of Switch 1 titles along with the new Mario Kart. This console is very underwhelming and they took streaming apps away. Unreal. Nintendo has gone downhill. I also don’t like joy cons. They charge $100 for those things WITHOUT the connector dock. You have to spend so much for accessories. I prefer the pro controller but it’s also like $90. How that controller costs more than a dualsense is mind boggling.one more negative that in handheld mode the thing is just too heavy. That’s coming from an adult. For a kid it’s just too much to hold. My kids use it more on the tv or tabletop.

If you regularly use the original Switch and are wanting the latest and greatest, this is it. Games that struggle on the Switch 1 such as the newer Zelda titles and Pokemon play flawlessly on the Switch 2. Solid performance with no frame drops. I would say as a disclaimer though that if the currently released Switch 2 titles are not one of your ‘must-haves’ and the current Switch games that you play run fine, you may not get the full worth out of a Switch 2 until more games that take advantage of the Switch 2 are released. Overall though a great system.

The Switch 2 has improved upon every aspect of the original, of course the OLED has a great screen, but for the low power draw and vibrancy, it’s one of the best for the size. I’ve put probably a hundred or two hours into this since launch, and can confirm that it will stay a staple of my gaming for years. I used to use my PC every day, now it’s mainly me on the couch using the switch 2 and maybe every other day with the PC.

it has better resolution and better screen than switch 1. but it has a few flaws. one is youtube app doesnt work on it. and battery life is really short

Great upgrade from the switch oled. I own all three models of the switch and the switch 2 is the one I have been using often. The graphic for the switch 2 have been amazing however the only issue is the battery I do find myself charging it sooner than my oled.

Overall had a good experience with this console, a major improvement over the Switch 1, Just get ready to spend a bit extra to expand the storage with an Express SD card as regular SD cards don't work for storage

Amazing upgrade compared to the 1st switch. So much fun. Battery needs to be longer on its own, however the USB-c on the top of system will charge the unit so makes it easier to play while charging

Was super excited about getting this and it did NOT disappoint me. The graphics are amazing and its a good size for a handheld gaming system.

Works great and I love the graphics. The size is perfect too.

The upgrades to the hardware and the larger size make for a great on the go handheld and some pretty graphics on the big screen.

Portability and great battery life . Graphics are sharper and it’s easy to switch between handheld and other mode . Highly recommend.

I preordered this first day it was available and had it delivered. Best buy let me down because it was 3 days after launch that I finally received it. Quite disappointing to have been the first to pre-order it and then have to wait several days to get it. Note for the future, don't have pre-orders delivered. I figured a day late max. For me personally, The switch 2 hasn't wowed me since upgrading from the switch 1. I buy every console. I have the playstation 5 and xbox series x as well. Is it fun? Yeah. Does it excite me like when I first got every other next gen console in the past? No. Do I crave playing it? No. The graphics are not that much better to me. For the price honestly I expect more. I have mario kart world, donkey kong bananza, and zelda breath of the wild. They are all okay games to me. The controllers seem good. I like the new joy cons and how they attach. This is buy far the most exciting thing Nintendo did. Other than that, evertyhing else is the same to me.

The switch finally has the power to run next gen games and the screen size makes such a huge difference. Definitely worth the upgrade for anyone who loves playing on the switch since the games are also backwards compatible.

Everyone we wanted in the switch 1 upgrade - graphics, material quality, better screen, and nicer form factor. We got it all

This was written within one month of the console's launch. Much may change over time. Console: Overall, I'm satisfied with Switch 2. The console itself feels comfortable to use handheld. It runs better than the original Switch, even with Switch 1 games. The mouse controls are an addition with a lot of potential, though it has yet to be fully utilized. Technology like DLSS will hopefully allow the system to run demanding games acceptably. Currently there aren't a lot of original games on it which I'm interested in playing on the system, but I'm confident that will improve quickly over the first year based on Nintendo's history. The motion-clarity of the screen has become a complaint for some. It doesn't bother me personally, but I'd recommend testing the system first to see if you're sensitive to it. It also remains to be seen if design problems like joystick drift will happen over time the way they did with Switch 1. Mario Kart World: "Mario Kart World" is a good game, and perhaps may be improved by Nintendo over time. However, as it stands at launch I'd rate it 8/10; it's fun but clearly a first iteration on a new open-world concept. Exploration lacks a satisfying sense of progression, and it's easier to fall out-of-bounds during normal races because the boundaries are less clear than past games. For comparison I'd rate "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" 9/10; it's currently the best version of the traditional formula even if there's room for improvement. Given the choice between MKW and MK8 I'd probably recommend MK8 even if they were the same price. But I'm happy to have MKW.

Don't listen to unnecessary hate, there's a lot of lies that are spread about this console. Nintendo made a great product, it was easy to set up, it's comfortable to use, the performance is great, game chat is actually really good, BUY IT. THANK YOU TO THE PEOPLE AT BEST BUY FOR MAKING MY DAY ONE PURCHASE EASY.

Great product, very fast and convenient with the handheld ability. Would recommend to anyone who likes the switch but wants more intensive games on it
