Customer Ratings & Reviews

Let me preface this by saying that I am not a pc gamer and so I will not be comparing this to any pc handhelds. I primarily purchased this console for the Nintendo exclusives. The Nintendo Switch 2 has met my expectations while disappointing me on some other fronts. I'll begin with the screen. Having been a original switch (non-oled) owner for 6 years, this screen is a MASSIVE upgrade. The brightness is way better, and the "hdr" is a great feature and makes games like TOTK really stand out. The performance is also much improved but this is where I got into my first caveat. The games ONLY look that much better when they A) have a Switch 2 edition or B) have reveved a free switch 2 update. Otherwise you are not going to notice a difference, and because of scaling issues with the larger screen, some games might actually look worse in handheld mode. Another caveat is the battery life. Long story short, you can expect about 2.5 hrs. when playing any game that has been optimized or made for the Switch 2 in handheld mode. However, if you look beyond these minor issues, the console is a great evolution of the original and feels more like a serious computer and competitor to the PS5 than a kids toy.

Love the new screen love the new controller definitely user friendly amazing product and love the accessories for it me and my son who is 3 definitely enjoys it we have fun playing Mario cart

From the moment you pick it up, the system feels more premium and responsive. Performance is noticeably smoother, with faster load times and sharper visuals that elevate both new releases and returning favorites. Games run more consistently, even in handheld mode, without sacrificing the portability that made the original Switch so iconic. What truly stands out is how seamless the experience feels. Backward compatibility allows existing Switch games to shine with improved stability and clarity, making the upgrade feel instantly rewarding. The improved controllers are more comfortable for longer play sessions, and subtle UI enhancements make navigating the system faster and more intuitive. Most importantly, the Switch 2 preserves Nintendo’s core strength: fun. Whether you’re playing docked on a TV with friends or curled up on the couch in handheld mode, the console delivers the same sense of joy and accessibility that defines Nintendo at its best. The Switch 2 isn’t just a successor, it’s a confident step forward. For longtime fans and newcomers alike, it’s a console that feels thoughtfully designed, future-ready, and unmistakably Nintendo.

I love my switch 2~ it's been a few months, still works great, no stick drift or problems. The battery dies fast, but its never been too much of a problem for me personally. Feels much better than a switch 1, although it's a bit heavy. Mario Kart World itself is kinda mid, but I don't regret getting it at a discount with the bundle. The download was pretty seemless when I got it. $500 is a hefty price to pay, but I think it was well worth it~

I had high expectations and waited so long for this console, and I can say those expectations were not only met but surpassed. The hardware itself overall is just a much more premium and nicer feeling experience. The new Joy-cons are a huge improvement over the originals. Bigger, higher quality buttons, and just a better more satisfying ergonomic feel, especially when playing in handheld. The way they just snap onto the magnetic rails is just pure magic. Perfectly satisfying and super seamless. The screen itself is once again a huge improvement. Not an OLED, but the increased resolution and overall higher quality LCD display looks miles better than the original Switch 1 display. There’s so many more small Improvements as well like bigger SR SL buttons, better kickstand, better dock design, and much much better built in speakers. I seriously respect the incredibly talented engineers who designed it all as it’s clear a lot of care and effort went into its design. With the original switch I mostly played dock as I felt handheld was an inferior experience compared to dock play. I’m so glad with the switch 2 that the experience in dock and handheld is much closer, so I find myself switching between them more and it’s even more seamless in that both dock and handheld feel like a high-quality gaming experience. It really feels like the vision of the switch is now fully realized when I play in handheld and it genuinely feels like I’m having a full TV console level experience, but in the palm of my hands. It’s nothing short of magic. Of course, the games are what’s most important and, yep, Mario Kart World alone makes this console worth it. It’s a magical gaming experience like no other. It’s so much fun. Then there’s also the fact that pretty much every game from your switch 1 collection is compatible and many games run even better, which I feel adds SO much value to the console. The performance across many different games is fantastic, just super crisp and buttery smooth. There's also so many more fantastic games coming this year that I'm excited for like DK bananaza, Metroid prime 4, Hyrule warriors: Age of imprisonment, and more. The only problem I can think of with It is that HDR calibration was a bit tricky and annoying. Then again, I now know it’s because I have an older 2019 4k TV. If it was a modern one that had HDR tone mapping, it would have been much easier so it’s not even a Switch 2 specific problem. That’s it really. I still can’t believe it myself just how perfect this console is. It’s the Switch perfected in every way. I genuinely believe this is the most fun and joyful device ever made.

I’ve been using the Nintendo Switch 2 for a little while now and honestly I’ve been enjoying it way more than I expected. At first I thought it was just gonna feel like the same Switch with a few upgrades, but after actually playing on it, everything just feels smoother and cleaner. The graphics look way better, games load faster, and the whole system feels more modern without losing the chill vibe the original Switch had.

Bought this for my son as an upgrade from the original Switch, and it was definitely worth it. The speakers are louder, the screen looks much better, and the controls feel more comfortable in your hands. It is a bit heavier, but it also feels more solid and higher quality than the original Switch. Overall, we’re very happy with the upgrade.

I Went to gamestop first to attempt to buy my mario kart world bundle because thats the only franchise i buy my consoles and games from even play n trade but they went out of business. So Due to bad experiences with gamestop i went next door to best buy and maannn i dont regret my decision what so ever the retailers who helped me that worked in the homewood/glenwood area of Illinois were so nice, kind and very patient so if i need to buy anything else in the future i will be back to that specific location for sure. They didn’t have none in stock so it was shipped to me Package was delivered today few hours ago, setting it up was a breeze, downloaded the game from eshop as seen online and I haven’t been able to put it down since taking it out the box. I absolutely dont regret buying my FIRST EVER SWITCH

I picked up the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle and it’s been a great value. The console is easy to set up and works well whether playing on the TV or in handheld mode. Having Mario Kart World included in the bundle is a big plus since it’s one of the most fun games to play with friends and family. The performance of the Switch 2 feels smooth and the graphics look great while gaming. Overall, this bundle is a great choice if you’re looking to get the new console along with one of the most popular multiplayer games right away. Pros: Great bundle value, fun multiplayer game included, versatile console Cons: Storage space can fill up quickly if you download many games

Work as intended, don't worry about not having a code on the box. The system is tide to get the game via Nintendo eshop Having more storage would definitely help, especially with games and the amount of space they take.

An excellent successor to the original Switch console. It takes everything awesome about the original and adds some new features and QoL uodates to keep the avid Nintendo fan happy. Over 60+ hours of playtime with the new system already and it performs like a dream, with a larger screen, buttons, and an extra USB-C port for charging/ accessories. With more Switch 2 updates for last gen games likely coming in the future, it adds a lot of value with performance improvements in certain games and the eshop is night day compared to the original switch, with next to no waiting around for it to load.

The Switch 2 is a big improvement on the first one in MOST ways. Its biggest shortcoming is the battery life. This thing drains FAST! I think I get an hour of gameplay at most before I have to plug it in. Despite this, the visual fidelity is improved on, and the games run smoothly thus far. I am also a really big fan of the size. I have really big hands, so for me it’s quite comfortable. I know that won’t be the same for everyone though. Overall, pretty fun system! Also you are REALLY gonna want to buy one of those Express SD Cards. I know the system already comes with 256GB of storage, but if you are transferring your old Switch data to the new one, then I imagine that will run low pretty quickly. I wouldn’t get anything lower than a 512 GB one. Just some advice. Do with it what you may.

The Nintendo Switch 2 takes everything fans loved about the original Switch and improves it with better graphics, smoother performance, faster loading times, and upgraded controls. Whether you’re playing handheld or docked, the experience feels more premium and powerful. It’s perfect for casual players and hardcore Nintendo fans looking for a next-generation gaming experience with portability and exclusive games.

I’ve been using the Nintendo Switch 2 for a few months now, and honestly, it feels like its what i have been looking for. The first thing I noticed is the screen. It’s brighter, sharper, and the colors look way better than LCD screen and very similar to OLED NS1. Games like Mario World 2 and the new Zelda just pop on this display. Load times are also way faster, which makes jumping into games feel almost instant. Performance-wise, it’s a big step up. Games run smoother and look cleaner, and I haven’t heard the fan spin like a jet engine. When playing on dock, you may hear spin a little since performing on 2k screen and i enjoyed playing Split fiction on it. The new Joy-Cons are surprisingly solid. Better grip, no drift so far, and they feel more durable. Docking and undocking the console is smoother too. Overall, it still feels like a Switch — just finally modern. If you loved the original but always wanted better performance and a better screen, this is the one. I’m really happy with my purchase and honestly didn’t expect it to be this big of a difference.

I love the console all the way, its ability to play games you can’t imagine playing on such a console like this will blow you away, I love I can play such games like cyberpunk 2077 and Assassins Creed shadows on this thing. Don’t get me wrong this thing keeps you entertained but it shouldn’t surprise anyone or new users to such consoles like this one but despite its power to play third party +AAA titles it has battery life that can at least keep you entertained for 1.5 to 4 hours but remember it’s just the beginning of consoles like this one. But I am happy that it keeps me entertained! I just dislike how fast a 100% battery drains to big titles and in like 15 minutes of gameplay it’s already eighty something percent but it’s switch 1 titles and lower Indie titles will drain it way less it’s the only bummer that the games I want to keep myself locked on I can’t keep a full battery for long enough. But pls don’t let this review discourage you from buying this console and putting the power of it in your hands, unless your wanting to wait for a upgraded switch 2 model but I recommend you buy this prep yourself to buy it till you upgrade. I’d definitely give a 9.8/10 to this console I’m currently in Costa Rica and it’s been able to give my ADHD some stimulation!!!

I recently purchased the Nintendo Switch and I’m very happy with it. The ability to switch between handheld mode and playing on the TV is incredibly convenient and works seamlessly. Whether I’m playing solo or with others, the experience is smooth and enjoyable. The console is easy to set up and navigate, and the controls feel responsive and comfortable. I really like how portable it is it’s perfect for gaming at home or on the go. The game selection is excellent, with a great mix of family-friendly games, multiplayer options, and more immersive titles. Battery life has been solid so far, and the system runs well without lag or issues. It feels well-built and durable, and everything works exactly as expected right out of the box. Overall, the Nintendo Switch delivers a lot of value and fun. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile gaming system that works for all ages and play styles!

Honestly, the Switch 2 just feels like a solid upgrade all around. Games run smoother, load faster, and look way better, especially in handheld mode. It still has that same easy switch between TV and handheld, which I love, but everything feels a bit more polished now. Battery life is better, the controllers feel nicer, and the fact that I can still play my old games is a huge win. It’s not a crazy reinvention, but it didn’t need to be—it just makes a good system even better.

I'm loving the bigger screen and Joy cons on the Switch 2. Everything about the system seems better than the original Switch. My only complaints are that with the size increase it is a little more awkward to hold for longer periods if that's how's you play it and the battery could stand to be a bit better. Can't do half stars though so I stuck with 5 stars based on all the other improvements making this console worth the upgrade.

Overall, performance, scree size, portability I like it

I recently got the Nintendo Switch and it's exceeded all my expectations! The versatility of being able to play on my TV and then seamlessly take it on the go is absolutely game-changing. Whether I'm relaxing at home or traveling, my games come with me. The game library is fantastic - from classics like Mario and Zelda to indie gems, there's something for everyone. The Joy-Con controllers are cleverly designed and make multiplayer incredibly easy. I love that I can just hand one to a friend and instantly start playing together. The battery life is solid for portable play, and the screen is bright and vibrant. Setup was incredibly straightforward - I was playing within minutes of opening the box. The build quality feels premium and durable enough for daily use. What really stands out is how the Switch fits into my lifestyle. Quick gaming sessions during lunch breaks, epic adventures on weekend trips, or family game nights on the big screen - it handles everything beautifully. It's brought back the pure joy of gaming for me. If you're considering a Switch, don't hesitate. It's worth every penny and has become my go-to entertainment device. Highly recommended!
