    Love the switch 2. Our son loves it and it works a lot better than switch 1. Graphics are a lot better and we like the bigger design.

    Who doesn't know Nintendo? I've played almost every console the brand has released. The Nintendo Switch was a brilliant innovation because you can have a portable game in your hands or play with your family at home. I was waiting for the new Switch 2 and eager to see the improvements it would bring compared to the previous one, and I have to say there's a lot to praise about this new console. The price is around $500 or more in almost all stores, but as a Total Tech member at Best Buy, I was able to save $50, something I wouldn't have found anywhere else. I highly recommend it; it's the perfect console for playing alone or with family, and its portability makes it fantastic.

    The Perfect Bundle for Instant Fun

    This bundle delivers incredible value and entertainment right out of the box. The Nintendo Switch 2 runs smoothly with impressive visuals and fast load times, making both handheld and docked play equally enjoyable. Including Mario Kart World is a huge bonus—it’s an engaging, family-friendly game that’s easy to jump into but challenging enough to stay exciting. Setup was straightforward, and everything worked flawlessly. This is an excellent choice for families, casual gamers, or anyone looking to upgrade their gaming experience.

    What a great machine! This is such an awesome way to play your games. I owned a switch og and eventually sold it because i wasnt happy with the way the games had started to look. Then i see the switch 2, and was so excited to finally play a worthy successor to the og switch. Buying it was so easy, and using zip to make the payments was awesome. So if you dont have all the money up front you can try to set up payments through a company like zip. It was paid off after 2 months and reflects good when you might wanna use zip again. The switch 2 is such an awesome console and i have to pinch myself sometimes as im playing these games that look like theyre being played on a ps5!

    I had been putting off getting this because I did not like how the battery life is. However, that is a small part and every thing else about the system is great.

    This is my first Nintendo System since the Wii. I play mostly in handheld mode but even on a 4k tv it looks and plays great. The only area I would improve is the battery. I do think a slightly larger battery would be a benefit. I feel like I am plugging in a bit more than my Steam Deck, likely due to the much larger screen. Overall great purchase.

    Bought this a few months ago with MKW bundle, DKB and Sonic Gen. Been a long time getting a handheld since the PSP days. Very slick-looking and well-made hardware and generally pretty intuitive. A bit bulky and heavy but pleasant to touch and hold. So far enjoying the games when playing during lunch times at work. Biggest minus is the battery life as you can't play too long without having to recharge again. As well as having to pay to play online, albeit no different from other console systems.

    Love the switch 2 - got it for my boyfriend and son for the holidays. The screen is a lot bigger. Graphics are great. We had the 1st, but wanted to upgrade and we're all happy that we did. :)

    My daughter has been saving up for this. She got over halfway and asked if I could put in the rest for a birthday present. So I did. She absolutely loves it! The handheld is bigger than the old one. Tge graphics are awesome on the tv. It loads a lot faster as well. After seeing how great it is now I want one too.

    This switch is definitely bigger then the others . It has a great display , and it’s working great so far. Games seem like they won’t take the long to download which is great for me .

    It’s better than switch one but not revolutionary

    I bought it over a year ago at launch and have used it a bit. Overall if you don’t care about the price you might as well buy it but at $450 it’s not worth it compared to other consoles and used switch 1’s. It’s nice to have better resolution, faster loading times, and higher fps but being a handheld console it doesn’t really matter and I would prefer amazing battery life.

    The only way I can get any gaming in as a new dad. An upgrade from the first, and its been great with all the old games coming back. Have never experienced any performance issues and highly recommended!

    Switched to Switch 2 (and you can switch, too!!)

    I'm very pleased with my purchase of the Switch 2 Mario Kart World bundle. The system is as intuitive as the first and the upgrades take it up a notch. I'm upgrading from the original Switch, and the improved display shines. Its 1080p, 120hz display is much improved over the original console's 720p, 60hz screen. Video is buttery smooth and the colors really pop at 98% DCI-P3. It feels heftier than the original and rightly so with its increased processing and graphics power. Getting Mario Kart with the console for $30 less than getting it separately was great, too. I'm disappointed in the quality of the Joycon straps that come with this one (empty rubber shell vs. the solid plastic of the original) but that's hardly a deal breaker. I highly recommend the Switch 2. It's great for 1 person or the whole family

    I traded in my OLED Switch and upgraded to the Switch 2. It was definitely worth it! I love the larger screen and the magnetic joy-con. The battery life could be better, but overall, worth the upgrade
