    This should have been the Switch originally. Nintendo is lucky this is still what I am looking for in a portable console. It’s better in every way from the original. Game fidelity is finally acceptable. Screen quality is finally acceptable. Happy to have this console. For many who enjoyed the original Switch, this will not be as compelling of an upgrade, but for those of us who had issues with the original, this console is amazing and fixes everything wrong with the original.

    I bought the switch 2 online and asked for picking it up at the store. The package was quickly made available for picking up. I recommend this option to other users. About Switch 2, it excelled my expectations, great quality and better design, and thw screen is way bigger.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is everything I hoped for and more. The upgraded graphics and smoother frame rates make a huge difference, and the battery life is noticeably better than the original. I love how seamless the transition is between handheld and docked mode—it really feels like a true next-gen portable console. Perfect balance of portability and power.

    This was a christmas present for my son and his eyes lit up on christmas morning. I worked an overtime shift as a nurse to afford it, however it was totally worth it. The graphics and screen are great!

    A very impressive upgrade! The screen size and quality is so nice. Personally, I like the heft of the console in handheld mode. It is a little heavy but I find it easier to hold onto, and it feels less breakable. It charges quick, responds appropriately, and is the latest and greatest.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is the upgrade we've all been asking for and it's finally here. The ergonomics for larger hands are significantly better than its predecessor. The color scheme is quite tame, but the build quality overall is much more refined and doesn't feel like a cheaper toy. Nintendo did it right this time around. The display leaves me wanting to play Nintendo releases in handheld as if they're optimized more for the console and not the TV, which is shocking because before I felt it was the other way around. It runs really well on our LG 4K OLED with HDR. My favorite part is the screen size and the joy cons. The joy cons just feel so much better. Buttons aren't loose, everything's firm, it feels premier. We haven't experienced any issues with the console since release and expect to run this thing into the ground for the next decade. If you are on the fence and have an original Nintendo Switch, I'd say it's a great investment. I would trade in you console and pick one of these up to continue the journey with Nintendo's NS2 specific releases. If you have an NS OLED, that would be harder for me, but I came from the OLED and it feels like a noticeable upgrade. I do not miss my OLED at all as this console feels like jumping from a Gamecube and playing an Xbox Series X. Nintendo nailed it. Mario Kart World, it's tons of fun. It's just a racing game, so it's not like it's a massive title like Super Mario Odyssey or Donkey Kong Bananza, but it's worth having in the collection since we all play Mario Kart. Loads of fun and collectibles

    Honestly a great product. I love being able to play games like Madden on the switch 2! Games load and play a lot better at least for me. But playing it while it's on the dock it tends to get pretty warm.

    Im a light gamer who plays short games often. But i enjoy playing single player games including Zelda (botw & totk) when i have time for myself. The switch 2 is a great option to upgrade from switch lite which i used to play for a while (since 2019) i give it some time till the new games come out, and its best console for playing backwards compatible games. Other than the pricetag, i have no complaints on switch 2. I play cyberpunk on handheld and i love the mouse control option. I would recommend to someone who never owned a switch and plan to get a handheld that can play classic nintendo games (nintendo online sold separately)

    We got the Swicth 2 at midnight release. It is a great console, following up to the first one, and while the display is not as good as the OLED model, it makes up for in size, better joy cons and capacity. We have a blast evrytime we play it, and that's what I like about the Switch 2: Everyone can play it, you can use it handheld or docked and it's easy to use.

    We love our Nintendo Switch 2! It’s fast, smooth, and the graphics are a big step up from the first model. The bigger screen makes games look amazing, and the improved battery life means we can play longer without worrying about charging. It’s super versatile for both handheld play and docked on the TV. Definitely worth it—fun for the whole family!

    Bought it to play the new Mario Kart World, as well as play Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild at a higher framerate/resolution. Plays games flawlessly and everything feels very premium. My only downsides are the screen (It ghosts a very small bit but is not a dealbreaker.) and the battery life (It doesn’t last a long time, but comparable to launch Switch 1 as well as pc handhelds like the Asus Rog Ally and the Steam Deck.)

    Well made and i haven’t had any problems with it. The joycon magnets definitely make it feel more solid than the Switch. I can play off the dock for a couple of hours before I have to recharge it. The screen size is much easier on the eyes. I’ve only played 2 exclusive Switch 2 titles so far: Mario Kart World and DK Bananza. I can’t say that it has blown my socks off, performace wise, but I do notice better performance.

    The Good Stuff (Things I really like): • The Graphics are SO Much Better. In games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Switch 2 Edition, everything is super clear. On the first Switch, things could look blurry or fuzzy, and that was just irritating because my brain had to work harder to process the visual detail. Now, it's sharp and clean. I can see all the details in the grass and the characters' clothes. It's very visually satisfying. • Faster Loading Times! This is maybe the best part. Waiting for games to load gives me major anxiety. The screen is blank, I don't know if it's frozen, and the suspense is just… not good. With the Switch 2, games like Cyberpunk 2077 (yes, it’s on Switch 2!) load way faster. Less waiting means less worry and more time to focus on the game's patterns. • The New Joy-Con 2 Controllers: They feel bigger and more solid. The clicking noise when you attach them is still there, but they don't wiggle as much when they're on the console. The magnets are strong, and the "snap" is a good, dependable sound and feeling. Less unexpected movement is a plus for sure.
