Customer Ratings & Reviews

I was able to upgrade to this from the original switch. It’s a HUGE upgrade. The performance is night and day. The screen looks great and games look awesome with the Switch 2 update.

The new nintendo switch 2 provides a bigger screen and controllers with more immersive gameplay, at the expense of handheld batter life (about 1 hour). Well worth it for both docked and handheld, understanding that external batteries are common.

I love this new switch. Now this is coming from someone who doesn’t really game. I prefer Mario games and easy pace games really but I think the switch 2 is amazing. I love the way it looks and the games look amazing too, in my opinion.

Nintendo did a great job of improving on an already great console while not overthinking it and changing the things that worked. The new joy cons feel even more premium, the magnetic attachment is addicting, and the larger size makes them feel much better if using a singly joy con for gaming (i.e. local play on Mario Kart with friends). Screen is larger and comes with a built in screen protector which balances not being too bulky when in handheld mode while not feeling to small. Kick stand is also a HUGE upgrade. Also, a lot of the negatives have more to do with the launch lineup (which isn't an issue with the console itself but Nintendo release time frame or decision making) and because people think naming it Switch 2 is the equivalent to the Wii U debacle. For some reason people seem to forget that other companies create a product and just use a numbering system for their next iteration (PS1, PS2, PS3, iPhone X, iPhone XI, iPhone XII, Galaxy, tablets, etc). Easily the best handheld gaming experience, the steam deck is unwieldy compared.

The Nintendo switch 2 is an amazing gaming console. I love the big screen and new joy cons. I’ve always had issues with the old joy cons as the knobs seem to go bad quickly. I also love the new features on this system including the chat option. It makes online play more fun. I also appreciate that if you have the original game that was for the switch you can upgrade the game for the switch 2 for a cheaper price. Overall loving this system. It is a great update.

Great release of the Switch 2! Visuals are stunning and gameplay feels smooth. I’ve enjoyed Nintendo games all my life and playing future Nintendo games with this updated tech has me stoked. Only disappointment console-wise is the battery life. To this, the Switch 2 feels like a catch-up with other consoles and handhelds (namely the Steam Deck). Doesn’t have that feel of exceeding current tech. If you’re a big Nintendo fan, make plans to get it. If you’re not that into Nintendo games but enjoy video games in general, may need to put more thought into purchasing.

I love everything about the Switch 2: 1) The bigger & faster screen, 2) The more comfortable joy-cons, 3) The faster frame-rates and higher resolution in games. I think that is price difference is definitely warranted (when comparing it to the Steamdeck, ROG Ally, etc.)

The Nintendo Switch OLED is everything I hoped for and more! The upgraded OLED screen is absolutely stunning, the colors are brighter, the blacks are deeper, and every game feels more alive. Playing titles like Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom or Mario Kart looks breathtaking compared to the original model. The enhanced audio is another pleasant surprise. Whether docked or in handheld mode, the sound is clearer and more immersive, making long gaming sessions even better. The wider kickstand is a game-changer too, it feels sturdy and makes tabletop gaming with family so much easier. Battery life is solid, setup is seamless, and the portability makes it perfect for both at-home play and gaming on the go. It truly feels like Nintendo perfected an already amazing console. If you’ve been waiting to upgrade, this is the version you want. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

New Screen, Console, Joycons are much better. Battery life isn't as good but it still last decent time. The games are backwards compatible so you dont loose any of your older games. Whats not to like?

Bought before taking a long haul flight and it turned out to be a great decision! Mario Kart World is enjoyable and challenging and the switch is great.

I was on the fence on upgrading now, but my old switch was just showing it's age. Also the Mario Kart bundle is out of production. I am so happy I did it. This console is so insanely better than the switch 1. It's so smooth everything runs fast and great. If you're interested in Mario kart. You should buy this now before it isn't available anymore. The game is super fun and looks incredible on this system.

A well thought out and designed handheld! Many improvements over the OG Switch. Much faster load times and frame rates as well. Battery life is exceptional and charges fast with the new 100W Charger.

This is AMAZING puece of tech for you and the whole family. It may not be an OLED but I've honestly not seen a major difference in display. The graphics and smoother gameplay is next level. Especially when playing it on the television. The only reason I gave it a 4 star is because the battery isn't the best. You have to carry a charger or be at home if you plan to play it for over 3hrs. Other than that I'd recommend this to anyone.

Love this Nintendo switch 2. So happy I was able to get my hands on this. The larger screen size is a great welcome and the new joy cons are mint. So far all my switch games are backwards compatible, and run great. Boost a few of your old games too like Pokémon, Scarlet and Violet. So happy with this purchase.

The switch 2 has amazing graphics and is a greater improvement from the original. The handheld play the battery life feels shorter and that is the only thing I've noticed that is a bother.

Better then the previous switch, you can actually enjoy your time playing without a TV but need a better battery though

Much better than the Switch 1. The controllers are magnetic and function better than the slide on ones from before. The graphics are great. Mario Kart World has been a lot of fun as well.

Best handheld console out. Fun games to play. Needs more games

The Switch 2 is a very easy to use gaming device. It has excellent 4k graphics and works well as both a handheld as well as console device.

★★★★★ The Nintendo Switch 2 is a huge step forward. The graphics are noticeably sharper and more detailed, and games look smoother and more vibrant than ever. Colors really pop, environments feel more alive, and everything just runs better overall. Whether you’re playing docked or handheld, the visual upgrade is immediately noticeable and makes familiar games feel brand new. Nintendo really delivered with this one—if you care about better visuals and a more immersive gaming experience, this system is absolutely worth it.
