    I still have my launch day switch, and given the small game library of the switch2 at launch, i didnt feel the need to upgrade. Got it as a gift, and the experience is so much smoother than the original. TOTK doesnt chug as hard, and that alone is worth it.

    Make the Switch to Switch 2! Whether you have the first Switch or not at all, give the Switch 2 a go. It’s not perfect—could have more storage, screen could’ve been OLED, could’ve been assured no repeat issues of drift, but there are definitely improvements.

    Nintendo Switch 2, An expected upgrade

    The switch 2 is the upgrade the original Nintendo Switch needed. It improves on pretty much everything from the original. From the storage space over doubling in size, as well as the actual size of the console and controllers increasing. The performance gets just as big as of upgrade. Bigger and better is the best way to describe the Nintendo Switch 2. Totally satisfied.

    Very happy with this purchase. The Switch 2 feels solid, the Joy-Cons are improved, and games run much better than on the original Switch. Setup was quick and everything worked right out of the box. Buying from Best Buy was hassle-free.

    I love my switch 2 but I shouldn't have bought it. There are only 3 games worth playing, Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, and the updated mario party jamboree with the tv add on. I really have enjoyed the product but, there's not anything scheduled for 2026 that I want other than dusk blood. It does have some other good games, but I already own those titles on my ps5 or pc.

    The screen is shockingly bigger and clearer. Controllers feel way better too. Get the Switch 2 in a bundle so it makes the price tag feel a little more bearable.

    The Switch 2 is an okay sequel

    This review is designed for people who are interested in buying a Switch 2, but aren't sure if it's a good time or not. Main issues: - Larger than the Switch 1 OLED, so it feels slightly strange use in handheld mode. Mostly designed to be used with built in-stand. - The Switch 2 joycon controller adaptor has a large gap, making it substabtially more uncomfortable than the original. I can't imagine using it for prolonged periods of time. Unfortunately, I highly recommend the Pro Controller 2, as it's very comfortable and has many features that probably should come with pack-in controller, like a headphone jack, or powering on the console by holding the home button. (yes. only the right joycon 2 and pro controller 2 can power on the system wirelessly) Be warned, as I have heard that both the joycon 2 and pro controller 2 have drift issues just like the originals, but I have yet to experience this. Otherwise, it's just a more powerful Switch. It's difficult to gauge how meaningful that is, as most of the games are also on the original Switch. It's nice for the handful of games that have Switch 2 versions, but ultimately unnecessary. Realistically, if you're a Nintendo fan, you're going to have to buy a Switch 2 at some point. As of right now, only buy one if you want to be at the forefront of the gaming scene. I recommend saving up and buying the pro controller 2 alongside the console because it will be be that much more enjoyable(this is a major flaw)

    The switch 2 is amazing!!! I love it so much, it’s such better quality and definitely an upgrade from the original switch. The kickstands are super convenient for multiplayer travel.

    My wife bought this for me on a whim to replace our old OLED Switch. The screen is MUCH easier due to size. The size is also more comfortable to hold, although it still can cause hand cramps. The extra processing power allows for more updated games to be played. Docked mode is a favorite at our house so we can all play the new Mario Kart! Fantastic console for family especially with younger kids!

    Great graphics, fun for the whole family. Wide variety of games, both known franchises and third party via the built in app. High quality console and controllers. Plus - largest mobile display I’ve ever seen on a mobile gaming device. The Switch 2 is awesome!

    Didnt get lucky with preordering, so went and camped out at our local BestBuy for 8 hours to be first in line for the midnight release! The time flew by waiting with other Nintendo fans and chatting it up. Now Ive clocked in 100+ hours tring to 100% Super Mario Kart World. My boys love the system and we are truly enjoying it together as a family. Evwrything is better than the first gen Switch. Cannot wait for DK Bananza and more GameCube games! Nintendo for the win baby!

    We purchased two Mario cart Nintendo switch two for the twin grandkids and they both love them especially my daughter since she has the power to put a time limit for the boys to play.

    Love the new nintendo switch 2, it is bigger, color on screen are brighter, excited that it came as a bundle with Super Mario Kart World! and I can still use my cartridges from my old Nintendo Switch that's just going the extra mile!

    Ive had my switch 1 since about 2016 or 2017 and it was really starting to slow down in some aspects. The fan would kick on trying run any persona game. Ive had my switch 2 for about a month now and it works beautifully! Ive been a fan of nintendo products since me and my dad would play mario on his gamecube so im glad the switch 2 isnt bad like everyone said it would be.
