It feels like this is the promise of everything that the Switch should have been. It's a joy to hold and play on portably, and in a dock it shines in 4k. Games, especially updated ones, are plentiful. It has become my preferred platform, knocking my beloved Steam Deck down from the winners podium. I'll ding it a tiny bit for Game Key Cards, but I feel like that problem will solve itself in the future. A must buy for any fan of gaming.

has worked great having something I can use at home & and be able to take it with me has been awesome

The console is everything I want it to be. The design is sleek and beautiful. It runs like a gem. And it gives me all that I could ever need out of a console. A portable video game console!

It's a great update with bigger screen, faster performance and more storage. Battery life could be better, but overall it's a strong improvement over Siwtch 1

A worthy upgrade to the original Nintendo Switch. Bigger screen, better resolution, still has excellent battery life - and the Joycons are a bit bigger and it makes a difference! (Even though I’ll probably still buy a grip attachment) I’ve had the Nintendo Switch 2 for a little over a week and playing games on it has to be experienced because words can’t express how amazing Pokemon Violet feels at a smooth 60FPS… words can’t express the resolution bump and FPS bump Mario Odyssey (already perfect game) experience in this transition. And there are plenty others that’ve taken advantage of the Switch 2’s extra horsepower. The Nintendo Switch 2 is worth the upgrade. Thank you Nintendo. I look forward to another wonderful 7 years of gaming greatness.

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've only plaid a few games on this console but so far it is pretty nice. The screen is much larger, the graphics and resolution looks great and the controllers are comfortable. Though it is bigger, it feels more cumbersome to hold as hand held, but the detachable controllers are nice. It's much easier to use them as single controllers too since they are larger and the kick stand on the screen is much better to balance on a table. If you have the spare money to upgrade to the switch 2, it's worth it.

Graphics are great, processor, and over all operating system is worth it. Not sure how much of an upgrade it is from the original switch, but it’s worth the upgrade from switch lite. Wish the battery lasted longer, but overall it charges quickly so time between restoring power while playing is minimum. Especially since it can be played while charging.

I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 for my 8- and 10-year-old kids, and it’s been perfect for them. The best part is how easily it switches from handheld to TV mode—they play at home, take it outside, and continue right where they left off. The games, performance, and portability make it a better fit for our family than the PS5. Simple, fun, and great for young kids. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a family-friendly console.

Even with the price, I still find this a great step in right direction for Nintendo. The only thing I wish they had done differently, is change the UI but that can always be addressed with updates. The actual hardware itself has been great. Size of the screen, joycons are a better improvement over the Switch 1, and everything is much faster compared to Switch 1

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.

First off ive had a couple switch one consoles since release. Im actively still using my switch oled to this day. The Nintendo Switch 2 is not a huge generational leap from its predecessor, but is has alot of premium features that will help carry it to the future. The positives are the larger screen ans overall size, it personal fits the shape of my hands better. The new joycons connect and disconnect with a new magnet system that is amazing. The dock has a cooling fan and wired ethernet port for a fast connection. 4k 60 to 120 is a nice bump. Battery life in older games is decent and from the few plays throughts in cyberpunk im getting at least two hours of charge. So there are some cons. The screen is larger but after having a oled swtich this new screen will never compare to it. Hopefully Nintendo will release oled 2. New switch 2 games are few and far betweem with most being upgrades of previous games and only dockey kong really showcasing the new systems compatibility. Joy con drift will be a issue since they haven’t improved the sticks. My biggest complaint isnthe new digital only games in a case situation that they are currently doing. Some game will only come with a digital code, no cartridge

I remember buying a Switch lite back in 2021, and I ended up returning it. I was disappointed in a lot of things - the system wasn't very powerful, the default storage ran out quickly, and it wasn't very ergonomic. The culmination of all of these flaws meant it didn't really feel like a console - it felt like a toy. I guess that's a silly distinction to make for devices meant for playing video games, but it's how I felt. The Switch 2 doesn't feel like that at all. It's pretty impressive how it keeps all of the things that worked about the Switch 1, just in a more powerful, appealing package. The kickstand is solid and versatile, instead of flimsy and weak. The screen is a beautiful, 1080p at a size that makes it shine. The new controllers aren't perfectly ergonomic, but they're a huge step up from the gen 1 Joy-Cons. It feels very comparable, and even better in a few ways to my Steam Deck, which is a huge accomplishment. My main reason for knocking off a star is that I don't think there's a huge reason to get one now, especially if you already own a Switch 1. The only real exclusive experience is has right now is Mario Kart, which is great, but probably not worth $500 on it's own. I think for most people, I would say to wait a few months. Give the developers time to made ports and Switch 2 upgrade packs, see what Nintendo reveals in the next direct.

It is such a massive upgrade from the regular Nintendo switch. I been using up to almost a year primarily on portable mode and it’s been going strong. HOWEVER the battery life is like 3 hours MAX. For those who like to play on docked it won’t be much of an issue but it’s been a small problem for individuals like me who enjoys gaming on portable. But other than that I donff to have any other complaints.

I recently bought a Nintendo Switch, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! The flexibility of being able to play on the TV or on the go is amazing, and the performance is super smooth. Games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe look great and run flawlessly. The Joy-Cons are fun to use, especially for multiplayer sessions with friends and family. It’s the perfect mix of fun, portability, and great game selection—definitely worth every penny!

Excellent screen design, long battery life, and good screen pixel quality.

Big upgrade to the original Switch. Especially in handheld mode. The screen alone is worth the price.

Easily one of my favorite gaming consoles yet Bringing the nostalgia of simple, intuitive Nintendo controls to portable gaming. The amount of fun I've been able to have with friends and family has been great. Games play smoothly out of the dock and the graphical presentation on an OLED monitor is stunning. The system itself is sturdy and has classy presentational look about it that won't look akward in a living room setup. Has been a great way to pass the time on my work commutes on the train. If you can get one, which was a painless process on the Best Buy app, I can't recommend it enough.

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.

The Switch 2 with the Mario Kart World bundle is everything I hoped the next generation of Nintendo hardware would be. The system feels faster, smoother, and more refined in every way, while still keeping the simplicity and fun that made the original Switch so special. Mario Kart World is the perfect showcase title. The visuals are sharper, the performance is rock solid, and the larger tracks and expanded modes make it feel fresh without losing the classic Mario Kart charm. Whether you’re playing solo, online, or with friends on the couch, it’s pure fun from the moment you boot it up. The improved hardware really shines in both handheld and docked modes. Load times are noticeably faster, gameplay feels more responsive, and the display upgrade makes colors pop and motion look incredibly smooth. It still switches instantly between TV and handheld play, which remains one of Nintendo’s best ideas. What really stands out is how polished the experience feels. Setup is quick, the interface is clean, and everything just works. This bundle is an incredible value, you’re getting a flagship Nintendo system paired with a must-have game that shows exactly what the Switch 2 is capable of. If you’re upgrading from the original Switch or jumping into Nintendo for the first time, this bundle is a no-brainer. It’s fun, refined, and instantly feels like the future of Nintendo gaming.
