    The Switch 2 is better than I thought it would be. It was bought as Pokotopia was coming out and I wanted to give it a try. I have had a lot of fun with almost daily my husband and I are playing Mario Kart. It has been a blast. I’m happy we bought it. Can’t wait for more Nintendo Exclusives as that is what we use this system for.

    Got rid of my switch 1 a few years and was getting FOMO so I bought the switch 2 and haven’t looked back since! Such a fun console that I can play anywhere!

    Honestly, I didn't have any expectations other than to enjoy a classic game. Sure, most people are always going to make comparisons about all the previous game versions prior to MKW, but it is very fun. As a person who grew up with the original gaming systems from the regular nintendo console, this is definitely an upgrade. As far as price, I'm not going to go into it as that is a different subject matter, however, I was able to score a bundle when the pre-orders were finally live. I didn't think I'd get my hands on one, but I did and it was worth the waiting game. This is a console that I can definitely say that my family and I will share as the expansion opportunities for certain games, like Jamboree, for example. I hadn't upgraded from my original switch since i first bought it. I'm glad I was able to transfer my downloaded games onto the NS2. This is something I look forward to using with family and friends, especially on gaming nights.

    Nintendo Switch 2 is what I expected. A well deserved upgrade from the first generation Nintendo Switch. It’s faster and the graphics are better. Much better. Don’t listen to anyone on YouTube saying otherwise. Because if or when you buy it, you may just enjoy it too regardless of what others say. You don’t even have to play Nintendo branded games on it. Play Doom (2016), Marvel Vs Capcom Fighting Collection or Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga. They’re all fun. Trust.

    [Employee of bestbuy] It is definitely an improvement over the first switch and competes with a lot of other handhelds, but it definitely feels bare. Mario Kart World is a great launch title, but it still feels like it would benefit from some other releases. The backwards compatibility is a great feature and I hope developers add some more Switch 2 game upgrades to maximize the new features. Additionally, I think the screen is able to compete with the OLED from last gen, but I do hope the option becomes available again.

    First time owning a switch console and it's tons of fun. The screen is a great size, the quality of gameplay is amazing, there's lots of different games to browse through. Donkey Kong country tropical freeze is my favorite game so far, reminds me of the old school donkey kong country games I used to play on super Nintendo. I also purchased a screen protector & a 2 year warranty plan to ensure the safety of my switch 2 console. I also bought a great Pikachu switch 2 case from Best Buy, the best case I've ever bought for a handheld game.

    I suggest you get one before they raise the prices nonetheless I love my Nintendo been a fan since SNES. Graphics actually look pretty good esp. for pragmata game. Load times a way quicker, online subscription is the cheapest from all consoles, also better to hold &play on hands compared to steam deck/lenovo handheld pcs

    This is a really great console. I had a Switch 1 for 7 years but it’s been showing its age recently so the Switch 2 came out at just the right time. Switch 2 is better than the Switch 1 in every way. The games run so smoothly and fast, and the graphics look beautiful. The Joy-Cons 2 feel really nice and the buttons are bigger. I love how they connect with magnets instead of the rails like the Switch 1. This bundle comes with Mario Kart World which is soooo much fun, especially when playing with friends. I am very excited for future exclusive games for this console and I’m happy I was able to get it. If you loved the Switch 1, you’ll love the Switch 2. If you’re considering getting a Nintendo console and are not sure whether to get a Switch 1 or Switch 2, I strongly suggest getting the Switch 2 because it will give you much better performance, will last you more years, and give you access to all the upcoming exclusives.

    Switch 2 is a major upgrade over its predecessor the Nintendo Switch. The system itself is much larger and runs much smoother. Games are faster so the experience is much better.

    Switch 2!!

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is a strong evolution of its predecessor, blending handheld convenience with boosted performance. The upgraded hardware delivers noticeably smoother gameplay, faster load times, and enhanced graphics — finally bringing Nintendo closer to current-gen standards while still focusing on fun over raw power. The OLED display (if included) is vibrant, and the improved Joy-Con drift resistance is a welcome fix. Backward compatibility with original Switch games adds major value, and new exclusive titles help show off what the system can do. Still, it’s not a huge leap — more of a refined upgrade than a total reinvention. But for fans of Nintendo’s ecosystem or newcomers seeking versatility, the Switch 2 is an easy recommendation.

    It really is a bigger and better switch. It's great More comfortable without a grip. Proper high-end OLED with HDR is recommend or o you'll ssom see for yourself if you have a lower tier Tv that says it does HDR but really it's not good enough and I recommend mostly having it off. Or else you will see a reduced of color. And some games look worse. and even a Pikmin 4 for example you see reduce foliage and tremendous loss in color

    Nintendo iterated on the Switch and made everything better. The controllers snap better, the screen is bigger and better and most importantly the OS is much quicker and responsive. Highly recommends grip for handheld mode for longer sessions. Bought a 2nd one for my partner so we can both enjoy our games

    First time playing with Nintendo Switch 2 and installing it was super easy. It connects to the TV easily and really fun on the big screen. I love the digital feature they have of purchasing games online instead of buying physical discs.

    I purchased this for my son's birthday. He loved this as an upgrade from the Nintendo switch. It's bigger, and he enjoyes the larger display. He says the controllers are easier to remove and overall it looks nicer. I love that ot doesn’t take up a lot of space.

    One of the best purchases you can make for you and your family, allowing several people to play and feel like a family. The screen is very wide and allows you to see the designs very well. I recommend it 100%.
