    Great improvement from switch 1, the size of the screen, materials and power makes it more a premium console and less a kid's toy. On the other hand, if you want it for a kid it might be too big and I would recommend getting a grip and a protective cover.

    Very awesome how games/titles from Switch moved to the Switch 2, and Switch 2 has supported all the Switch games we already had. The Nintendo Parental Controls app synced settings to the Switch 2. The new Joy Con release triggers are much better than the Switches small button, plus the magnetic attachment rather than sliding into the rails os really cool. Screen is much bigger, its without a doubt a step up from the Switch, but still has all of the awesome characteristics, just a little refined, smooth & crisp. Alot of thought must have gone into it, having the charging port for USB-C on the bottom for docking a d then also ontop so you can comfortable play handheld while charging. Nintendo's team must have listened to customer feedback because it does show.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is an excellent evolution of the original console. It offers better performance, smoother graphics and faster loading times, which makes the gaming experience much more comfortable and modern. It maintains its great advantage of being hybrid (portable and desktop), ideal for playing anywhere. In addition, the catalog of games is still very varied and fun for the whole family. Without a doubt, a recommended purchase for Nintendo fans and new players

    True Game-Changer – Nintendo Has Outdone Itself!

    Coming over from the Steam Deck OLED, I wasn’t sure what to expect — but the Nintendo Switch 2 has absolutely blown me away. From the moment I powered it on, it was clear that this is more than just a sequel — it’s a complete reimagining of what portable gaming can be. Performance-wise, the Switch 2 is a beast. Games that previously struggled to maintain 30 FPS now run buttery smooth at 60 FPS, and load times are dramatically reduced. Titles like Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Smash Ultimate don’t just play better — they feel like upgraded versions, all thanks to the improved internals. One of the biggest surprises for me has been the backwards compatibility. My entire digital Switch library carried over effortlessly, and many of those games now run better out of the box — higher frame rates, more stability, and just an overall smoother experience. No re-buying, no hassle — just better performance. As someone used to the heft and size of the Steam Deck, I was amazed by how portable and comfortable the Switch 2 is. It’s lighter, more ergonomic, and the battery life feels significantly improved. The handheld mode is a dream — I can game for hours without hand fatigue, and the display is sharp, vibrant, and super immersive. In short: the Switch 2 is everything I hoped for and more. It honors your existing library, packs a serious punch in performance, and redefines what a hybrid console can be. If you’re on the fence, especially coming from something like a Steam Deck — this is 100% worth the upgrade. Nintendo absolutely nailed it.

    A jump, Not a leap - but still worth it

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is a magnificent leap forward that manages to feel both familiar and brand new. While it retains the core hybrid concept that made the original so beloved, every aspect has been refined and upgraded, making it a truly exceptional console. For those looking for the definitive portable gaming experience, the Switch 2, especially bundled with the brilliant Mario Kart World, is a fantastic purchase. The most noticeable improvements are in the hardware and build quality. The console feels sturdier and more premium than its predecessor, with a refined design that is both elegant and durable. The new, bigger 7.9-inch screen is a major highlight, offering a sharp 1080p resolution and a vibrant display that makes games look absolutely gorgeous in handheld mode. This is a huge upgrade from the original Switch and makes a world of difference. The new speed and graphics are a game-changer. The custom NVIDIA chip delivers a massive performance boost, allowing for faster loading times and more fluid gameplay. Games look significantly better, with enhanced visuals and smoother frame rates that breathe new life into both new and backward-compatible titles. The bundled Mario Kart World is the perfect showcase for this power, with its stunning graphics and dynamic courses. The console is a testament to Nintendo's genius, providing an overdue but well-executed upgrade that feels more polished, powerful, and fun than ever before.

    What you would expect a switch but with better, bigger screen, a better display than the original switch, no oled model yet but not a huge dealbreaker in my opinion and a much more powerful console overall, only wish the battery was better

    I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 for my son, and he absolutely loves it. It’s become one of his favorite ways to play, whether he’s using it at home or taking it with him on the go. He picked it up quickly and has had no trouble navigating the system or starting games on his own. What I like as a parent is how smooth and reliable it has been. The system runs well, games look great, and it’s easy to switch between handheld and docked modes. The console feels solid and well-built, which gives me confidence it will hold up to regular use. Overall, this has been a great purchase. Seeing how much my son enjoys it makes it worth it, and I would definitely recommend it to other parents looking for a fun and versatile gaming system for their kids.

    Graphics and framerates/load times are much quicker on the Switch 2, and I appreciate that we can still use cartridge games. I like the magnetic catches for the Joy Cons. However, I do not like the dock aspect of the Switch 2. Wasn’t fixed from the first Switch. As Switch users who generally keep it docked, I don’t like that the Switch isn’t always recognized right away by the TV because of how the console sits on the dock port.

    The system is great, the way the joycons are magnetic and don’t slip out while playing handheld mode is amazing. The games run smooth and look great on the bigger screen. The only downside is the battery life and you have to use a high capacity charger. You can’t hook up just any usb-c to charge it up. The charger for the original or the OLED do not work on this system and vice versa

    Been waiting a long time for something like this. Being a huge Zelda nerd, finally seeing TOTK & BOTW in 4K @ 60hz felt amazing. The data transfer from my Switch 1 to Switch 2 was super easy. All you had to do was just touch them together. The increase screen size is great & the magnetic controller connection is very satisfying. The increase size & weight of the Joy-Con's are also a nice improvement.

    The Essential Launch Kit

    I finally snagged the Switch 2 bundled with Mario Kart World, and the upgrade is massive. If you were holding off on upgrading, this is the time. Everything feels faster—from menu navigation to game loading—and the visual leap is immediately noticeable, especially when docked to the TV. It still keeps that magic of jumping from the big screen to handheld mode, but now with a legitimate performance boost. The Mario Kart World inclusion is brilliant. It’s the ultimate console-launch title because it’s instant fun for everyone, and it really shows off the system’s smooth multiplayer capabilities right out of the box. The new controllers feel solid, too; a noticeable improvement in comfort and responsiveness. This is more than just a minor refresh; it's a huge step forward for Nintendo. This specific bundle provides immediate, high-quality fun and showcases the console's full potential. It's truly the essential way to dive into the Switch 2 ecosystem.
