Customer Ratings & Reviews

Switch 2 has been pretty awesome so far. Mario cart is always a win with the while fam. Looking forward to playing the new Metroid Prime and Donkey Kong looks pretty solid. The Switch 2 is built pretty well and handles better than the.original. The new joy cons are great how they connect now instead of the slide then click in place. I know alot of people have been giving it grief but it.does what is me t to do play kick butt nintendo games just like all the systems before. SNES that was the best overall but hey im old school :)

This was written within one month of the console's launch. Much may change over time. Console: Overall, I'm satisfied with Switch 2. The console itself feels comfortable to use handheld. It runs better than the original Switch, even with Switch 1 games. The mouse controls are an addition with a lot of potential, though it has yet to be fully utilized. Technology like DLSS will hopefully allow the system to run demanding games acceptably. Currently there aren't a lot of original games on it which I'm interested in playing on the system, but I'm confident that will improve quickly over the first year based on Nintendo's history. The motion-clarity of the screen has become a complaint for some. It doesn't bother me personally, but I'd recommend testing the system first to see if you're sensitive to it. It also remains to be seen if design problems like joystick drift will happen over time the way they did with Switch 1. Mario Kart World: "Mario Kart World" is a good game, and perhaps may be improved by Nintendo over time. However, as it stands at launch I'd rate it 8/10; it's fun but clearly a first iteration on a new open-world concept. Exploration lacks a satisfying sense of progression, and it's easier to fall out-of-bounds during normal races because the boundaries are less clear than past games. For comparison I'd rate "Mario Kart 8 Deluxe" 9/10; it's currently the best version of the traditional formula even if there's room for improvement. Given the choice between MKW and MK8 I'd probably recommend MK8 even if they were the same price. But I'm happy to have MKW.

Amazing upgrade compared to the 1st switch. So much fun. Battery needs to be longer on its own, however the USB-c on the top of system will charge the unit so makes it easier to play while charging

We love our new switch 2. It does feel like a big upgrade from the switch 1 while docked. Having 60fps 4K is a huge leap and makes games feel transformative and fluid. In handheld mode you can definitely feel and see the issue that they didn’t use as high quality of an LCD screen, but this is a non issue for us because we leave it docked.

Buying the Nintendo Switch 2 for my son’s 10th birthday turned into an unforgettable experience thanks to Best Buy. These consoles were impossible to find — none in stock at Target, Nintendo.com, Best Buy online, or anywhere else. I stopped by my local Best Buy just to check availability, fully expecting to be told the same thing. At first, that was the case… until the associate went the extra mile. They took a moment to think through all the possibilities and realized that someone had returned a Switch 2 just five minutes earlier after buying two when they first launched. Because of their attention and willingness to dig a little deeper instead of simply sending me on my way, I was able to purchase it on the spot. My son was beyond excited on his birthday, and I’m incredibly grateful for the associate who cared enough to look beyond the obvious and make it happen. They made me look like a hero to my son. That level of customer service is rare and deserves recognition. Way to go, Best Buy! You absolutely made our day.

Compared with the previous Switch models, the biggest difference is not the concept but the execution. The original Switch was innovative, but it often felt underpowered, especially late in its life. Reviewers noted that Switch 2 improves the experience with a larger screen, faster loading, easier library transfer, and more refined hardware, while still feeling familiar to anyone who has used the first Switch or Switch OLED. The new magnetic controller attachment and improved processing headroom make the system feel more modern without losing the portability that defined the original

I purchased the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Bundle Pack for my nephew, and he absolutely loves it! The system feels faster and smoother than the original Switch, and the upgraded display really makes the colors pop—especially in the Mario game that comes with the bundle. The package is a great value, and it’s perfect for both kids and longtime Nintendo fans. Seeing how excited my nephew gets every time he plays makes it totally worth it. Highly recommended!

Nintendo really went about fixing all of the minor annoyances of the swtich 1 - better kickstand, bigger screen, easier blue tooth connectivity. Mario kart world has surprising depth, although I still think it's difficulty curve has swung down too much. Also a huge congrats/thankyou to nintendo and best buy on making these so easily available. pre-ordered for release day - picked up without issue. As a lifelong nintendo fan this was not my normal experience. Way to go nintendo on keeping this lifelong nintendo fan happy as well as the next generation.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is an absolute triumph! From the moment I powered it on, I was blown away by the vibrant display, improved performance, and incredibly comfortable Joy-Cons. The games look stunning, load times are snappy, and the overall experience feels polished and premium. Nintendo has truly outdone themselves with the enhancements to both handheld and docked modes. If you're a fan of Nintendo or looking for a versatile gaming experience, you absolutely need this console. My only minor quibble, and it's a small one, is the continued absence of Super Mario Sunshine on the GameCube Classics app. It's such a beloved title, and it would be the perfect addition to an already fantastic library. Despite that tiny wish, the Switch 2 is easily my favorite console. Highly, highly recommend!

I know the release of this console has been somewhat controversial, but I am absolutely in love with my Switch 2. It improves on the original switch in every way and every game runs better on this thing. I have played it every day for the last four months and have appreciated the changes to hardware as well. There have been some great exclusive titles so far with many more to come. If you have the original switch and you feel it’s showing its age, come on over. You won’t regret it.

I particularly enjoy using this product on the daily. I’m one of the few people who have never owned a switch console, so I haven’t much to compare it to, however what I can say is I am thoroughly happy with the Switch 2, particularly when it is connected to a capable 4K display. It takes care of the fast battery drainage problem I noticed, though it could just be a software issue. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys handheld consoles. The only regret I have is not waiting until the Pokemon Z-A switch 2 bundle.

The Nintendo switch 2 is a big upgrade to my Nintendo switch 1 I can now play games so much smoother now is everything is bigger too would recommend to any Nintendo switch fan and the extra storage is great also.

using for 2 weeks everyday, I love it. Materials feels much more premium than previous version. I am not happy with battery time but performance is great for high graphic games.

I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 in-store and I’m extremely satisfied with my purchase. The console works perfectly, the graphics are great, and the performance is smooth. Setup was quick and easy, and everything was included as expected. It’s a great upgrade and definitely worth it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and versatile gaming console.

My son loves his Switch 2. The larger screen an graphics are amazing

I’m happy I upgraded from my original Switch. I really like the graphics and bigger screen.

This thinf is addicting, I like the big screen and form factor. So far I enjoy it and mostly play in handheld.

Great system coming from the first NS. Battery could be better but it runs amazing game titles. Both handheld and docked experiences are great.

I’ve personally really been enjoying my time with Switch 2, the size and quality of the entire console compared to the original Nintendo Switch is amazing as somebody who never got an Oled I really don't mind the fact that it's back to an LCD

I got one of my boys.The bundle switch2 and I must say, it was worth every penny. The graphics are way better and these size is slight bigger. Definitely worth it!
