Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch 2 is awesome—screen looks better, battery lasts longer, and games run smoother. Feels like the old Switch but way more polished. Super fun to use and totally worth upgrading.

Nintendo Switch 2 is a much wanted item. Larger screen and great graphics. Best Buy had this in stock for my grandson and son. This brought so much joy to the young and old.

My Switch 2 is definitely awesome and moving from my old Switch to the new Switch 2 was super easy.

I picked up the Nintendo Switch 2 on launch night at Best Buy in Big Flats, NY. The staff did a great job keeping things organized and moving, even with a busy crowd. After a few days of use, I can say the system feels like a meaningful step forward. The performance is noticeably better—games load quicker and run more smoothly overall. The updated Joy-Cons feel sturdier and more comfortable in-hand, and the new kickstand is a nice improvement for tabletop play. I also appreciated that it's compatible with my existing Switch library, so I could jump right back into my favorite games without any hassle. The new titles available at launch are promising and show off what the system can do. Overall, I’m glad I upgraded. It’s not a radical departure from the original, but it improves on enough things to make it worthwhile for regular Switch users.

I picked up the console at launch. Definitely an overall improvement from the first Switch. The performance is better, the controllers feel nice, and transferring data from an old switch is extremely easy. However, the products for the Switch 2 (including many of the games) are very pricy. Expect a $70+ price tag on first party Nintendo games for this console, and don't expect them to go on sale. The durability of the console is excellent in terms of functionality (excluding joycon drift). However, the console is extremely prone to cosmetic damage. The built-in screen protector is extremely easy to scratch. Even a fingernail can cause permanent cosmetic damage to the plastic screen. Get a glass screen protector if you plan on traveling a lot with the console (do not remove the plastic screen protector). If you are buying this for your children, please do not let them try to modify the console or the software whatsoever. I did that with the Wii and 3DS as a child and faced no consequences. However, this console is different. Nintendo WILL ban you permanently from many of their services if they catch you trying to modify anything on the console.

Our boys received this from Santa for Christmas and absolutley love it! The larger screen and easy to remove control handles are awesome improvements to the new platform. We are excited to see what games come out, while still being able to use the old games as they are backwards compatible.

The system is amazingand easily improves on everything that was already great about the original Switch! Screen quality is beautiful. The compatibility of the GameShare is a literal game changer. Love the matte finish on it as well.

Great product. Screen is way bigger than the first switch and graphics look way better!

Love the speed and size of the new model. Charge drains a bit quickly but it is just the way it goes.

Overall a solid upgrade if you be coming from switch 1 or lite. A little more expensive but has the power to justify its upgrade price, 120 hz lcd panel less likely to oled burn in and games from previous gen run smoothly. Loving the backwards compatibility but a screen protector is 100% recommended to have the plastic film they place on this console is very scratch able. Still using old joycon controller tech sadly but upside is 240ish gb memory system storage

Much faster than the original Switch — snappier menus, quicker load times. Larger, higher-quality screen. More vivid visuals, HDR support, better frame rates. And the last thing I would like to say for a “con” is. Battery life. In handheld mode, battery drains faster under heavy usage. Some reviews say it can be disappointing if you play a lot on the go.

I love the new Nintendo Switch 2! It is sleek, the game graphics are next level and the processor is fast

One of the best systems I like the blogger screen to play on the road but on the Dock everything looks great on 4k

Awesome console, love the improvements. Makes easy to play on table

Works great. Lots of fun with my family. Great to travel with.

Really good idea, and excellent graphics, the only thing the batter only last for about two hours

Super fun and compact. Great graphics and easy to use. Highly recommend.

Love it!The Nintendo Switch 2 builds smartly on the original’s success, offering smoother performance, sharper visuals, and a more comfortable handheld experience. Improved Joy-Cons and better battery life make portable play more enjoyable, while backward compatibility keeps existing games relevant. It’s a refined, confident upgrade that stays true to Nintendo’s fun-first philosophy.

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."

Great console and great games! Bigger and better than the original and a blast to play all around
