    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

    Great system! Love the big screen and looks far btter than my ally x. Only thing I am not a fan of if you dont have a grip case, it is a little awkard to hold and hands get tired.

    As the successor to the switch, the product does all the things that the switch did but better. The graphics are smoother, the colors are brighter, and the screen being larger makes the handheld experience even better. There are some things that could be improved, like battery performance and game selection, but as physical performance goes the console is great at what it does.

    If your playing games from the switch one you will feel the graphic difference but may I say that the Zelda wild era runs BEAUTIFULLY on this console and was the main reason for my purchase and I don’t regret it

    Amazing purchase. Haven’t played it much but so far it’s a huge improvement over the switch 1 and Oled. Very fast controls are nice, and looks amazing on screen !

    A nice, but not absolutely necessary upgrade

    Switch 2 is a nice upgrade from Switch 1. Went to midnight launch event and found that more "fun" than the actual Switch 2 itself. In time with newer games released for it I think it will shine but not a 100% necessary upgrade. Screen is nice, larger joy cons are also very appreciated. Speakers are nice as well in handheld. I'm not sure I fully appreciate the "surround sound" Nintendo touts. Build quality seems on par with Nintendo products. Battery is challenging - I mostly play in docked but Switch 1 definitely had longer handheld time. If you need/want the "latest" and "greatest" then sure, upgrade, but if you have a Switch 1 and would be taking debt to buy this, then hold off for now.

    Ive had every Nintendo since the NES. Every generation had had its nuance. This latestest edition definitely delivers on everything, classic feel, portability, and speed. Literally everything is better on this unit. I would say if you sre on the fence go ahead and pull the trigger. Youll be happy you did.

    Was looking forward to this for a long time, and it did not disappoint. it’s a much better version of the 1st Nintendo Switch, with better performance, build quality, screen, and much more. Plus, Mariokart World is a ton of fun and it’s packed with many things to do. 10/10

    Honest review of the Nintendo Switch 2. I purchase this for my kid for christmas. Overall, they are happy with the device. One thing I dont like is the games that you have to purchase aside from this. Keep in mind, the games are 80.00 dollars if they are new games. That's a crazy amount for games. Nintendo needs to lower the prices. Also, this device cost wayyyyyy more than a PS5. The Mario Cart game is included and very fun. I like that you can also unmount the tablet to take it on the go. Do yourself a favor and BUY A SCREEN PROTECTOR AND A HARD CASE. One thing that could suck is if you drop this tablet, it can and will break the screen.

    The console came in great condition, and had over half of a battery left to set the device up quickly. It came with plenty of instructions, and each piece was individually wrapped and sectioned off inside the box. The device is light, made of a very smooth and rigid plastic and the screen is very bright once you turn off the automatic brightness settings. The Joycon 2s are very comfortable now that they are taller and wider than the first Joycons on the original Switch models. The HD Rumble 2 is on par with the Taptic Engine features on an iPhone but aren’t quite as strong as the phone motors, but it’s definitely a finer and more clicky type of rumble which is nice. The battery life is my only gripe, with about 2.5 hours of feasible gameplay if I manage the brightness in Mario Kart World and play with some headphones. Get a case or a screen protector because the screens scratch very easily unfortunately.

    The Switch 2 plays well with good graphics, built-in memory, and AMAZING kickstand. I actually like playing it as a handheld device but the battery only lasts around 3 or 4 hours. Could he worse but could be better. I like how you can control the battery life so that the battery doesn’t overcharge and cause issues further down thr line.

    The switch 2 is absolutely amazing. I was very apprehensive about purchasing a switch 2 until I played a couple different games on my daughters. I went directly to BB and purchased one. Now we all (the entire family 8 of us) all have game night and it is hilarious. They live in various parts of the U.S. and we all go online and have a great time. Rather than sitting in front of the TV watching mind numbing shows we have all seen 100 times before, get a switch 2 and enhance your mind and quicken your mental response. Trust me I am 68 and I still kick my young familys butt in some games....

    I purchased the Nintendo Switch 2 from Best Buy and had a great experience. The online checkout was fast and easy, and the same-day delivery was a huge plus. Everything arrived in perfect condition. The console came with Mario Kart, which makes the experience even better. The data transfer from the Switch 1 to the Switch 2 was quick and very simple, so we were able to start playing right away. The larger screen looks amazing and really enhances gameplay. The Nintendo Switch 2 is an excellent console. My son absolutely loves it and is super happy with it. As always, shopping online at Best Buy is fast, reliable, and very convenient. Highly recommended!

    I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle for my 13-year-old son, and it’s been a great purchase so far. He was super excited the moment we opened it, and Mario Kart kept him hooked for the first couple of weeks. Like most kids, he eventually moved on to another game (Donkey Kong), but he still comes back to Mario Kart here and there. What we’ve enjoyed the most is playing it at home on the TV. Being able to do two players at the same time makes it way more fun, and it’s honestly turned into a nice little family thing. He’s having a blast, and we’ve been enjoying playing with him too.

    The console is a direct improvement over the original. More base memory; bigger screen; dual plugs for charging and accessories; and better performance. Everything that the original Nintendo Switch was, the Switch 2 is better at. A definite must buy if you enjoy Nintendo games.

    This is an excellent bundle to get your if you're thinking about getting a Switch 2. Mario Kart World was one of the flagship titles for the console, so getting it bundled at a slightly lower price was a great deal. The console itself is excellent with new features and a general performance/graphical upgrade from the Nintendo Switch. My only issue so far is that if you already own other Switches, it's a headache to set up the virtual game card syncing the first time. Once I got it set up, I haven't had issues. It felt like a lot of work to play the digital copy of Mario Kart World only on the Switch 2.

    Everything about this device is great, minus some from the battery life, which feels a little disappointing for longer couch sessions. Very impressed that it doesn’t overheat, and runs very well both docked and in handheld mode. The build feels way more solid than Switch 1 and the JoyCons feel much more stable.
