    They did what they were supposed to that and make a stronger switch, feels good overall just wished they launched with a little more exclusive software

    It is a good console but I wish I could add more applications, for example Netflix, so I could watch movies

    Decent upgrade from the oled. The screen don’t seem as great at the oled and battery life on it while undocked isn’t that great. Definitely better on your hands compare to the switch 1.

    Powerful little thing. It's a little over priced but the 4K when it's Docked and on the TV is an Amazing Picture

    Innovative, but lacks games to go along with it, with most of the premier titles being a bore after a couple of hours.

    My switch 2 came swith stick drift on my right joycon. Nothing has been done about it so far but besides for that, the purchase and console has been great. For the price tag, and the fact its new, the right joycon coming out defective out the box is a big let down

    Why does the battery die so fast? I would play a game or two and the battery would be dead. Really?

    Not a $500 console

    [Employee of bestbuy] -1 star for Nintendo saying you cant fix your own switch or they’ll brick your whole system, -1 for lack of performance/quality and -1 more star for the price. Recently played Mario Kart World and although it was fun my wife and I pretty much finished it in a couple of days. The open world is single player so that was a massive disappointment. If the Switch 2 cant handle 2 people split screening an open world game like Mario Kart World then why is it $500? A $500 console should be able to handle something like that. Now youre probably reading this review and thinking well its $500 because you can also travel with it but from what Ive seen the screen scratches far too easily and the controllers could easily break off if you drop it so definitely do the Geek Squad protection. Last thing Ill say is there are other handheld gaming devices for around the same price with much better performance. The switch 2 isnt a $500 console and certainly didnt feel any better than my normal switch.
