Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was going to hold off on the Switch 2 until some reviews accumulated but, it went on sale just before Christmas and couldn't resist. Nintendo has some strict do's and don't's with their consoles aimed against any unofficial modifications and such. It could brick your system, but I never do mods, so I'm good there. Even if you play with the Switch 2 docked, like me, be sure to get a tempured glass screen protector because the Swtich 2 has a light protective film on the LCD that can scratch very easily. Game play is smooth and and beautiful. No functional issues whatsoever. You will need more storage eventually, and the only compatible SD cards are the NEW Micro SD "Exress" cards. Normal micro SD cards will not be recognized, including the one from your original Switch. These "Express" cards are on the expensive side, so maybe hold off until they come down in price or absolutely need one. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase, but these consolest's are just getting too expensive for me. Game purchases will be slow and selective and most likely, only while on discount. Regardless of any slight negatives, every second of use is enjoyable!

This console is so cool! I am a Minecraft lover and was surprised to see how well it runs. It’s a strong game and I think the switch works really well. Even for other games like Mario kart. I enjoy it. I take it to work with me to play on my breaks. I know it’s made for kids mainly but I am 25 and love my switch 2! Graphics are crisp. Sound it good. It’s bigger than the OG switch which is nice.

I love my new console! The Nintendo Switch 2 does not disappoint. It may seem similar to the original on first glance, but the hardware diffences make themselves known. The new screen is larger and has a crisper image. It's not OLED, but I found the quality improvements make that virtually unnoticeable. My games load much faster, and the animations seem to be smoother. It feels more ergonomic, possibly because it's wider and the controllers aren't cutting into the base of your palms as much. The new joy-cons feel built with more quality. They fit more comfortably in your hands, and have less annoying "clicky sounds" when playing than the original. Motion tracking games seem to perform better with them. Finally, the included Mario Cart World game is a blast to play and very visually appealing. My family have played it countless times already and it's our new favorite in the series.

I used my OLED every single day, and since buying the Switch 2, I have still used it every single day for almost the last month. I’ve been unemployed since February, not by choice at all, and life has been a bit overwhelming and lonely. The Switch 2 has been so fun, the new Mario Kart has been addicting to get used to all the new maps for the first time in YEARS. I love how big the screen is, and the magnetic joycons are a game changer. The ONLY complaint I have is the battery life, and we knew that was coming so I guess I can’t be too disappointed. I’ve taken on an airplane and it drained over half its battery life in a 3 hour flight, which was a bummer. But it charges fast and I don’t regret the purchase one single bit!

I’m very happy with my Nintendo Switch 2 purchase. The console feels faster and smoother than the original Switch, and the improved screen makes a big difference when playing in handheld mode. Games run great, and everything feels more responsive overall. It keeps the same versatility I loved before, but with noticeable upgrades in performance and quality. So far, it has exceeded my expectations and feels like a solid upgrade.

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

After good AAA games came out on the thing I realized it’s a lot more powerful than I thought. Battery life short bc of that but valid trade off

I bought this as a birthday gift and they loved it. They are now playing their favorite games ranging from Zelda to Mairo. They bring it on the go but they also love playing the Switch in thsir TV. They had the switch that came out before this one and the graphic an the gameplay is different but a good different.

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!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is an incredible upgrade! The graphics are absolutely stunning, the bigger screen makes gameplay more immersive, and the built-in speakers sound surprisingly good for such a small device. I personally use the docking station more than handheld, and I love that it’s backward compatible—my Nintendo Switch 1 games work seamlessly on the new system. As for Mario Kart World, I have mixed feelings. The graphics are off the hook—truly next level—but I’m not a fan of the new Battle Mode. Unlike Mario Kart 8, where you could come back with fewer balloons and keep playing until time ran out, once you lose your life here, you’re done. That said, the game still has its own strengths and is visually amazing.

I upgraded to the Switch 2 from my original launch-day Switch, and the difference is night and day. The larger, upgraded screen is a game-changer—I find myself playing in handheld mode far more than I ever did with the OG model. It’s vibrant, immersive, and makes every session feel fresh again. Performance is another huge win. Games like Breath of the Wild run noticeably smoother—no more frame drops disrupting the experience. Nintendo clearly stepped up their hardware game. The updated Mario Kart included with the system is a great bonus. It’s not just a rehash—it feels like a thoughtful refresh of a classic that makes jumping back into races feel exciting again. If you’ve got kids, this is a fantastic console to have around. It’s easy to use, family-friendly, and packed with games that are fun for all ages.

Fairly new to the modern Nintendo ecosystem as the previous Nintendo console I owned was the GameCube, but so far this system has exceeded my expectations. The fact you can play games at 4K 60 FPS in handheld mode is awesome, especially considering the thinness/weight of the device. It feels like a premium bit of kit.

Great overall improvement. Battery life is nothing spectacular, controller that comes with is garbage, and storage is low. However, system runs fast and smooth and looks great compared to switch 1

Improved CPU and graphics really make this console a great upgrade from the OLED Switch. I really like how the controller attaches magnetically attaches to the main console. I really appreciate that most controllers from the prior generation is compatible with this one, just wished that I could use the older memory cards. While the battery life seems to be less, it’s expected for a more powerful system. Overall, this is another great console from Nintendo.

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 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.

A great little system, so far. My kids absolutely love Mario Kart World, and this version just updates and upgrades all the things we liked about Switch 1. The controllers are especially nice, but only time will tell if the drift issue from the previous models has actually been fixed, like they said. We all love the bigger screen, and enhanced graphics as well, all though it is less portable, although not egregiously so. Biggest plus is being able to use all our previous games and even getting a free upgrade to some of them via our Nintendo Online account. Breath of the Wild has been given new life and I'm playing it again. It's pricey but considering the lifespan of the previous system (which was much longer than the average Games Workshop game) and all the fun we had with it, we expect to get a lot of use out of this one, so it was worth the cost.

best console. every switch 1 game just .... works. except they're now magically at 4k and high framerate. handheld is perfect and the object itself is a seamless curvy work of art.

Supee fast shipping. The switch itself is super cool. The graphics are super clear and more detailed. You can pass down previous downloads from the first switch. So you can play even more games. The controller is smooth and has good grip. Really fast changing. The switch is bigger and has a nice screen super light in weight. Super good gift or for oneself. When you play games the graphics are clear very good definition. And easy for all ages. Love it highly recommend. :)

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
