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.

Me and my partner got it as a gift for ourselves and have been enjoying it ever since. We're both out and about often so being able to kill time with games on the go or to other people's places with ease. Me personally it's what I was looking for in the first switch: better performance, better screen, and bigger form factor as the og switch was too small for my hands and cramped after half an hour of playtime.

Joycon's are better, screen is better and looks much nicer, handheld life is pretty good. I enjoy the graphic improvement on older titles and it is nice to have gamecube games on here. Can't wait for more third party games. I highly recommend getting a pro controller for extended gaming sessions

Our boys received this from Santa for Christmas and absolutley love it! The larger screen and easy to remove control handles are awesome improvements to the new platform. We are excited to see what games come out, while still being able to use the old games as they are backwards compatible.

Excellent console. A gift, its sleek looking and a bigger screen, one of the greatest handheld consoles.

I’m really enjoying the nintendo switch 2 , It runs older switch 1 games way better and the visuals look fantastic on the switch 2. I know there’s not alot of games out yet for the switch 2, But I really like Mario Kart World and Dk Bonanza. Fast Fusion is also a very good game that you can get in the Nintendo eshop for $14.99. Everything just feels so much more fluid and games run so much better on switch 2. Also the Nintendo switch 2 pro controller is way better and a must have. The screen on the Nintendo switch 2 imo is very good and it’s so good that I sold my Oled switch. Another great thing about the Nintendo switch 2 is Nintendo actually listened and the cover for the game card slot is very easy to open now and feels so much more premium. More great games will be coming and I’m excited to see what Nintendo brings to the table. Imo Nintendo Switch 2 is worth the upgrade, You don’t need to wait for Oled. So if you’re in the market for a Nintendo switch 2 , I would say go for it. Hope this helps and happy gaming everyone.

The Switch 2 is a solid upgrade from the original. Performance is noticeably better, games run smoother, and load times are much faster. The screen looks great in handheld mode, and the console feels more polished overall. Setup was easy, and it works perfectly with my existing Switch games and accessories. If you enjoyed the original Switch, this is absolutely worth the upgrade.

Switch 2 is absolutely amazing! Insane build quality, runs buttery smooth, and full backward compatibility means all my old games look and play better than ever. Nintendo nailed it best console I've ever owned! Games like Zelda Tears of the Kingdom run way smoother than on the previous generation it was worth every single dollar spent on this console."

Was talked into getting the new Switch 2 when buying games for my son's Switch 1 and I am really glad I did. Even though it was a Christmas gift for my son I think my husband and I have played it the same amount as our son :) it's so fun. The controllers are way better than the 1, and the bigger screen is perfect when it's not hooked up to the TV.

Love the Switch 2. Can play all my old digital purchases from Switch 1 and my new games in stunning quality. Finding it in store was kind of a pain. The poor floor guy did't even know they had them in stock and I was about to go to a different store to pick it up. Luckily I had an instore pick up for another item and found it there. All in all a great system.

Great product for anyone of all ages. The system is very easy to use for a new person to get the hang of. The system is very friendly to those who have used any of the Nintendo Switch systems before. Only downside is storage. If want to have a lot of games on your console, you will need to dish out the extra money for the MicroSD card, but they aren't terribly expensive. If you only have 2-5 games, you can use the internal storage.

The switch 2 is not miles but lightyears a head of the switch 1 in terms of overall enjoy ability thanks to a number of changes such as the larger and sharper display, the extremely satisfying snap due to the magnetic catch and release of the joycon 2, and is given tons of storage compared to the switch 1 which allows you even more time to buy the optional expansion (if need be) allows you to enjoy more games at once before needing to delete any content or upgrade with and express micro so card. Those are only a few pros to name along with my ONLY CON about the console, which would be its heavier weight in comparison to the original switch but can be easily forgotten while using in hand held, largely due to the benefits of all the PROS! This console has been extremely enjoyable with family, friends, and especially on the go!

I LOVE my switch 2. The negative hype is beyond wild when you look at the specs and price. $450 for a console more powerful than a steam deck for virtually the same price. I could finally play games like Pokemon Violet and TotK without terrible load time and glitches. Mario Kart World is… fine. Not my favorite switch 2 game and def not one to show off the full capabilities. DK is much better at that and I’m excited to see the differences in the new games to come. Handheld mode is a true winner. While not as rich of a screen like the OLED switch, def a huge bonus in screen size and smoothness of pixels, which in turn, doesn’t bother me in the slightest. Anyway, if you’ve been teetering, wait for more games if you want, but if replaying some older games with the updates (since if you have a Nintendo subscription they are free) sounds appeasing, pull the trigger. That’s what I’ve been doing and already logged 200+ hours into the console.

Runs much better than the switch 1. I love the bigger screen. Only issue is storage, but this can be rememdied with extra storage that you have to buy separately

Love it!The Nintendo Switch 2 builds smartly on the original’s success, offering smoother performance, sharper visuals, and a more comfortable handheld experience. Improved Joy-Cons and better battery life make portable play more enjoyable, while backward compatibility keeps existing games relevant. It’s a refined, confident upgrade that stays true to Nintendo’s fun-first philosophy.

Solid system, battery life is a bit short but with the graphic upgrades it makes sense. The larger size is much better on the hands which I appreciate. Donkey Kong bananza has been my top played game.

Nintendo Switch 2: A Monumental Leap Forward! ​I've been a dedicated Switch fan since day one, but the Nintendo Switch 2 is more than just an upgrade—it's a complete revolution for hybrid gaming. Nintendo has taken everything that made the original great and polished it to a mirror sheen, delivering an experience that feels truly next-gen. ​Performance & Graphics: Stunning Clarity ​The immediate difference is the visual fidelity. The new, larger OLED screen is absolutely gorgeous, making old favorites look brand new and giving launch titles a stunning depth and clarity. Playing The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom at a buttery-smooth 60fps, in true 4K resolution when docked, is an experience I didn't know I was missing. Load times are practically non-existent thanks to the new processor, which keeps the action fast and fluid whether you're docked or on the go. ​ The Joy-Con Pro: Finally Perfected ​The redesigned "Joy-Con Pro" controllers are a massive improvement. The dreaded drift issue seems to be completely resolved, and the new magnetic locking mechanism feels sturdy and satisfying. I particularly love the improved ergonomic grips and the new haptic feedback, which provides incredibly subtle and realistic sensations—a real game-changer for immersion. ​ Battery Life and Design ​Battery life has seen a significant boost, easily getting me through long travel days without needing a charge. The console itself retains the brilliant hybrid design, but the new, robust kickstand is a small but critical detail that makes tabletop mode much more stable and enjoyable. ​ Final Verdict ​The Nintendo Switch 2 is not just a console; it’s an ecosystem perfected. If you were holding out for an upgrade or are looking to jump into the Nintendo world for the first time, this is the console to get. It delivers the magic, power, and portability that gaming deserves. Highly, highly recommended!

I had the first generation Nintendo Switch, which was enjoyable. But, it was time. Improved performance, graphics, and a larger size….it was just time! PLUS, picked up Mario Cart World in the bundle, which was a welcomed discount as opposed to buying separately.

The Switch 2 is a worthwhile purchase, $450. The console’s improved screen quality and speed make a real difference in both handheld and docked modes. Everything feels smoother, and the new display is a big win. The Mario Kart World bundle is fantastic value. The game looks beautiful and offers the classic, highly addictive racing that is perfect for local or online play. If you're ready to upgrade or looking to jump into the Nintendo ecosystem, this is a great, solid bundle.

Not worth 450-500 by a long shot but I used gift cards accumulated through my employer. A solid performing and well bullt console. Cant wait to see what games come out to really push this hardware. Solid build quality. The screen and battery life are excellent. Sound is acceptable for a handheld. It annoys me that we have to buy upgrade packs to take advantage of the better performace on games already owned. As a PC gamer this feels like being robbed tbh. For this reason the switch 2 gets 4 stars. If it goes on sale or some amazing exlusive pops up (cough cough FROMSOFT) go for it. Otherwise its just not worth the money right now.
