Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for the GC emulator and Mario Kart. There are a lot free updates to other switch games that make it more fun or playable like Pokemon S/V running at an acceptable frame rate. Coming from a launch Switch 1 but im enjoying better frame rates and some games getting better graphics and a bigger screen

Only 4 stars cause battery is short but when it’s docked it’s beautiful and when it’s not it’s a nice large screen.

I like it! I couldn't be happier that Nintendo was going out of their way to get most / all the old Switch1 games to work on the new console! That is awesome! Looking at e.g. Cyberpunk shows what the console can do - and I am looking forward to see more titles like this! The game Mario Kart World was also a lot of fun to play. Unfortunately though a *new* and stellar launch title like the Zelda games are still outstanding from Nintendo. I hope that happens soon! Now to the things to think about: 1. I own a Switch 1 Pro controller. It works on the Switch2 ... except for it cannot wake up the console. Why? Sorry I have to say that this has a smell of squeezing out money for accessories again to get one button which is alreay there and which worked in the past. On the bright side: I have now at least 2 controllers. 2. The docking station experience is somehow similar. But overall I recommend it.

Best portable device EVER!!! So so so glad I had the opportunity to pre-order the NS2 Mario bundle for my wife. Seeing her light up after opening it was definitely worth it! The quality is unmatched, graphical fidelity is superb, I would recommend it to any casual or hardcore gamer!

Ordered a switch 2 from amazon that came completely destroyed. Returned it and walked into my local best buy to complete a painless and seamless transaction of the new console. It's brought us nothing but joy and the experience of picking it up was excellent. It just goes to show that stores like Best Buy should not close. The switch 2 has been everything it promised to be and more.

The switch 2 is Nintendo’s most iterative console in decades; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The original switch was nearly a perfect console and the switch 2 improves on its predecessor in nearly every metric focusing specifically on performance. It has dramatically increased ram, storage and a much more powerful gpu. Excited to see what 1st party Nintendo devs can do with this new hardware. The console also feels more premium in hand with a a better build quality and screen is also brighter. My only complaints are the lack of an oled screen, middling battery life and frankly terrible ergonomics in handheld mode

It has a bigger screen and the graphics are a lot better. But I will have to say I don’t like how Nintendo did say you technically don’t own it even if you buy it but it is really fun to play games on.

The Switch 2 is a massive upgrade over the Switch, whether that be the first edition, Lite, or even the OLED version. I've noticed improved performance in many games, like Xenoblade 3, Pokemon Violet, super steady 30fps on Fire Emblem 3 houses, faster load times on many other switch 1 titles as well. Of course, playing an actual Switch 2 game is where the console shines brightest. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Zelda BOTW and TOTK switch 2 versions are incredible. I do wish there were more switch 2 games at launch, though, many are coming soon and next year. Overall, very happy! If you for sure are itching to play any switch 2 games and its within budget, do it! If the current titles, or the upcoming Legends ZA Pokémon game doesn’t excite you much, hold off for now until the library does expand.

Switch to is an amazing system. Great graphics ability to use old games with it is great. The battery life could be a little bit better but overall it’s a great system.

Love the Nintendo Switch 2, despite there being only one Nintendo game at launch they delivered in being able to play switch 1 games, like both Zelda’s and free updates to others to make them more standard for 2025. When I heard about the Switch 2, all I really cared about is that it was just a better switch, so those games that didn’t run well on the original switch can now hit their frame caps. Another thing about the Switch 2 I wanna mention is that it has this new mouse mode for games that play better with a mouse, Which was really cool and puts it over Playstation and Xbox in my eyes. The Joycons themselves are okay, definitely better than the old ones for the Switch 1, the sticks are a bit too sensitive. The GameChat and built in Microphone into the Switch 2 works really well and sounds great, it filters out background noises and you can even talk from super far away and your pals will be able to hear you great. Mario Kart World is a great switch 2 game and excites me for the new ones to come, a perfect example of a great nintendo game. The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great package especially if you get Mario Kart World with it, definitely worth it.

So much better than the first switch! This one runs so smooth and feels and looks great. Me and the wife play on it all the time handheld mode and we love the bulit in mic when playing with friends. Tv mode is amazing but we mostly bought it for handheld mode. I would buy more if i had the money lol

Switch 2 is an excellent console for both kids and adults. We’re having a great time with it and have deemed it a worthy follow up to the original Switch console. The big screen helps a lot for older family members with visibility issues and the joycons are very comfortable. I haven’t noticed any drift yet but we’ll see.

System works great thr graphics are great bigger screen so takes a little to get used to if youve had the older sets price is good

I’m loving my switch too. I had this switch one and I was able to use the Best Buy trade-in program to put it towards a gift card for the switch to Best Buy actually paid more money than anybody else around would pay for the switch one we love the switch to the screen is a lot bigger. It’s really nice for traveling on the plane. I enjoy the new controller too, and how the joy cons just magnet on versus having to slide in and out all around a great product worth the upgrade from the first version.

I loved the original switch but the switch 2 is better in every way. It's faster and has better graphics. Playing with friends is better with the chat and video streaming as well. I highly recommend getting the switch 2!

Good product, much better than the original switch 1. I’ve spent several hours playing with this device on the go. The display is great and the ergonomics aren’t as bad as people say. Big downside is the cost of first party games and not having the biggest selection of games even several months after launch.

I like the larger screen compared to the switch one graphics seem better and my grandson and I have both enjoy are Nintendo switches two.

When the Switch first got released, I got lucky and found a Best Buy that had some in stock the morning after the midnight release. The console had the typical 1st gen issues (overheating and drifting). When the Switch 2 was announced my boys both saved up to buy it. One bought it at Best Buy and the other at another retailer. The one who bought it from the other retailer received it on release day. The one who bought from Best Buy did not. In fact, the console from Best Buy was shipped from NY to Florida on release day. It was expected to arrive two days later, but a problem from the freight company made it another day late. The purchase from Best Buy was the bundle with Mario Kart. Both boys say the performance of the console is much better than the original Switch. That performance improvement is whether used as a handheld or connected to the TV. The expense of the express SD card has held up those purchases, but the on-board memory has been sufficient so far. They are both still waiting to get cases and other accessories which will probably be when they finally take a break from playing.

Mario Kart on the Switch 2 is everything fans want and then some. The game keeps the classic Mario Kart chaos but feels smoother, faster, and more competitive thanks to upgraded hardware. Races look sharper, load quicker, and multiplayer feels more intense whether you’re playing online or locally with friends. Tracks are colorful, creative, and packed with shortcuts that reward skill, while items keep things unpredictable and fun. It’s easy to pick up but hard to master, which makes it perfect for both casual players and try-hards. If you like competition, couch co-op, and pure fun, this is a must-play title.

I bought this 100% expecting the worse based off other reviews. Well if there is one thing I learned in this world, its to not listem to all the bad reviews since most people are hard to please and expecr the world. The screen looks amazing even after coming frol the Switch OLED. Colors look nice and gameplay is alot smoother. Ive tested the new Madden 26 and was very skeptical but again, I read reviews saying it was "unplayable" when it actually is. I have a steam deck OLED but ive caught myself playing on the switch alot more frequently lately. Also the docked quality on some games looks amazing. Its so nice to finally play some nintendo games at 4k resolution. If your skeptical of purchasing this, id say try it out for yourself and see if it meets YOUR needs. Im glad I did, because its definitely met mine. Happy Gaming!
