LOVE my switch 2! Went from OLED to this and the graphics are amazing as well as gameplay

Im loving this device. Out the gate a lot of the enhanced games run way better now on the switch 2 over the original. This device performs way better than i expected and looked better in person than online. I see the hate online over it but if this is the console you want just get it. The current library of games as I write this is low for the switch 2 games but with upcoming releases this device is going to truly shine even more. I find the new magnetic joycons to ve very secure and should take a greatt amount of force to remove them without using the release latch.

The switch 2 is exactly what it is, a decent upgrade to the system but not exactly a whole new system. It's much better design then the first and plays games better and faster

I got the Nintendo Switch 2 for my boyfriend, and honestly we’ve both been having so much fun with it. The graphics look super clean, and the games load fast, which is really nice. The screen is brighter and the battery lasts way longer than the old one. The controllers feel better too, not cheap or flimsy. Overall, totally worth it and now it’s kinda our thing to play together.

It’s amazing, love this thing! The fact it doesn’t have that many games isn’t a big deal to me. I never owned a switch 1, so this being my first is a big deal. So far I’m playing all the classics. Only complaint I have is the hdr, Mario kart worlds colors look a bit washed in dock mode (the only switch 2 title I own) . On handheld however it looks great. Older titles I own play beautifully in docked or hand held mode. I hope Nintendo can fix this problem as soon as possible because I can’t wait for Metroid prime 4.

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."

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.

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.

I love having a switch! A good mix of a Nintendo DS and a Wii. Very customizable and can play a wide range of games. I also thoroughly enjoy Mariokart that came with.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is an absolute triumph! From the moment I powered it on, I was blown away by the vibrant display, improved performance, and incredibly comfortable Joy-Cons. The games look stunning, load times are snappy, and the overall experience feels polished and premium. Nintendo has truly outdone themselves with the enhancements to both handheld and docked modes. If you're a fan of Nintendo or looking for a versatile gaming experience, you absolutely need this console. My only minor quibble, and it's a small one, is the continued absence of Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube Classics app. It's such a beloved title, and it would be the perfect addition to an already fantastic library. Despite that tiny wish, the Switch 2 is easily my favorite console. Highly, highly recommend!

Great update to Nintendos portable lineup. Same portability as the first switch but with way better graphics.

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

Fun fast clear screen for both adults and kids to play games together

Really enjoying the Switch 2 so far. The bigger screen looks awesome and games run way smoother than on my old Switch. The new Joy-Cons feel nicer in the hands too.

We loved both versions of the original Switch, so it was a no-brainer to pick up the new system when we were ready. Well worth it, all around. Bigger, nicer screen. The joycons are awesome. The game upgrades are reasonably priced and worth the few extra dollars. All in all, a great experience from setup to gameplay - and we haven't even checked out all the new features yet!

The Switch 2 offers everything that worked in the original Switch but with updated hardware. There was a seamless transition between consoles, and it's refreshed while feeling and looking familiar in that way we've grown accustomed to over the past 8 years. I'm happy I bought when I did but can understand why you may wait until there are Switch 2 specific mainstream titles that you want to play before upgrading. I look forward to another 8+ years of faithful service from this hardware!

Best controllers I've ever used: good feel, long battery life. I've played several games on this console: MKW (of course), RE9 (10/10, standard classic modex3), FF Tactics (latest remake, played it twice back-to-back), DQ7 (cute AF, super fun). Console and games are a little pricey, but everything I've played is high quality.

The Nintendo switch 2 is a big upgrade to my Nintendo switch 1 I can now play games so much smoother now is everything is bigger too would recommend to any Nintendo switch fan and the extra storage is great also.

I was really expecting a lot more for the hefty price tag. I was met with a slightly heftier and durable device with a slightly larger screen compared to the large size of the device itself. The battery life is just as bad as the original which was where I would’ve preferred better quality for handheld play.

was amazed how easily it was to purchase one from bestbuy. Switch 2 is everything the original switch should have been. The online store move quickly, some of the games that ran poorly run seemlessly on the switch 2 & it has made feel fall in love with Nintendo all over again as I been buying games left & right. Now I'm playing with power Switch 2 power!
