Great console need more games or upgrades packs for games. Mario Kart is fun i love can’t wait to take it with me on my travels.

Nintendo Switch 2 - a modern version of the Switch 1. Everything is snappier, smoother, etc. Plug and play pretty much with a little bit of setup if transferring data from original Switch to the new one. Better way to play your old games and new games are impressive!

Awesome! Plays all my old Switch games and many of them are performing even better now! Bigger, brighter screen, better controllers! All around win! My kids LOVE the new Mario Cart as well. A great bundle!

The switch 2 was something I've been waiting for for a very long time. I honestly believe that this is a worth while upgrade from the first console. I love the higher resolution, HDR and framerates running on handheld and TV. I also don't think you should get one until there are games that you will actually play on it. Mario Kart World is a wonderful launch title, but DK Bananza truly showcases the power of the switch 2. Mario Kart is not worth $80 but if you get the bundle it's well worth $50 no questions about that.

The Nintendo Switch 2, released on June 5, 2025, is a testament to Nintendo’s enduring ability to blend innovation, nostalgia, and accessibility into a single, irresistible package. As a longtime fan of Nintendo’s consoles, I was eager to get my hands on the Switch 2, and my experience purchasing it at Best Buy, setting it up, and enjoying it with my family has been nothing short of delightful. From its refined design and improved controllers to its seamless integration into family gaming sessions, the Switch 2 delivers a polished evolution of the original Switch, proving once again why Nintendo remains a cornerstone of the gaming industry.

This is a huge step up in many cases compared to the switch 1. If you like playing in hand held mode then you will love this over the original, because just the screen alone is just as big as the switch 1 with both joycon’s attached. Super fast loading times, very smooth 60fps on the nintendo games, havent tried 3rd party yet, plus a lot of switch 1 nintendo games are getting little updates to their fps and anti-aliasing and resolution free of charge, so if you haven’t gotten to play them all, the switch 2 is the way to go.

From a degrading OG Switch (2017) to Switch 2 - it was well worth the upgrade. I have been playing frequently on the Switch 2 for about a month now. The larger screen makes a world of difference. It's still early, but the controls have been very snappy and responsive so far. I've felt that the controls, especially with the joysticks, has been much smoother. Fingers crossed that stick drift is a thing of the past. The price increase of joy-cons is less than impressive considering how liable they were to break. As someone who prefers to play in handheld mode, it became apparent very quickly that this system is unforgiving to those with smaller hands. This is currently my only major complaint with both Switch 1 and 2. The design would greatly benefit from some sort of built-in grips or an option to have grips added. Instead, I had to purchase a third-party "grip system".

It works fantastic. Screen quality is superb, button response is great. It's a great upgrade from the original.

What can I say the graphics and speed are awesome. Worth the upgrade. Bigger screen, my son loves it.

The Switch 2 has been exceeding my expectations in terms of performance. The device rarely ever get overheated (maybe once i experienced that blast of hot air out the vents), the joycons are super secure, the graphics look amazing and games run smoothly. This is definitely a worthy successor to the Switch 1, and I will play it until the next one comes!

Fun to play. Love that I can connect to my tv as well. Great for traveling! Wish it had more internal storage

This is a great product. Good build quality. Good performance. Generally, very pleased. Two call outs: #1) the SD card issue. You need a new spec of SD card. Not a big deal because I want performance out of my devices, but it was another $$$ for an SD card. #2) the transition from the switch 1 to this unit seemed clunky. Again, not the end of the world. At the end, the device is great.

Excellent. Coming from original switch it was a massive upgrade, it's quick in loading games, the screen is great. Im not a pixel peeper, just a regular casual gamer.

I bought the Switch 2 just for the launch title, the Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 bundle, and I am blown away. If you are thinking about upgrading, do it. This is a premium, powerful system that still keeps the magic of the hybrid design. 10/10 must-buy!

Loving it so far. Larger joycons and screen is amazing

It runs smoothly, the games load faster, and its reverse compatible with the other gen

Super good upgrade compared to the basic switch, battery isn’t as good but overall performance is solid

The graphics had a huge improvment. The bigger screen is a huge plus.

Great console. High-quality device. Larger and feels more premium than OG switch. Going to be even easier to recommend once the library inevitably fills up in the years to come.

I bought this so my wife and I could play online games with our grandchildren. While you need to have an online account to do this, Switch Two is lots of fun. My wife and I have played games together and have had a lot of fun playing these games. This is not only for the young, but also the young at heart!
