Customer Ratings & Reviews

excellent machine. battery life is a bit short, but it is still wonderful.

The switch 2 is Nintendo’s most iterative console in decades; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The original switch was nearly a perfect console and the switch 2 improves on its predecessor in nearly every metric focusing specifically on performance. It has dramatically increased ram, storage and a much more powerful gpu. Excited to see what 1st party Nintendo devs can do with this new hardware. The console also feels more premium in hand with a a better build quality and screen is also brighter. My only complaints are the lack of an oled screen, middling battery life and frankly terrible ergonomics in handheld mode

My original Nintendo switch was on its last legs when the Nintendo Switch 2 was announced, so I was in obvious need of an upgrade. The original Nintendo switch struggled handling games such as Pokemon SV and Legends Arceus. The performance thankfully improved for the Nintendo Switch 2. I no longer saw flying Pokemon animation frame by frame. Additionally, this bundle came with Mario Kart World which was a plus. I recommend upgrading to the Nintendo Switch 2 if your switch is at the end of its life, or you’re looking for upgraded graphics.

Great for gaming on the go. Screen looks so much better than the first switch. Really fun to play

Very well made! I do wish they included a few more basic accessories. But overall easy to set up and use and plenty of fun to be had!

It is one the best console of all time because very powerful for a handheld and graphics look really good

So much better than the first switch! This one runs so smooth and feels and looks great. Me and the wife play on it all the time handheld mode and we love the bulit in mic when playing with friends. Tv mode is amazing but we mostly bought it for handheld mode. I would buy more if i had the money lol

Love the Nintendo Switch 2, despite there being only one Nintendo game at launch they delivered in being able to play switch 1 games, like both Zelda’s and free updates to others to make them more standard for 2025. When I heard about the Switch 2, all I really cared about is that it was just a better switch, so those games that didn’t run well on the original switch can now hit their frame caps. Another thing about the Switch 2 I wanna mention is that it has this new mouse mode for games that play better with a mouse, Which was really cool and puts it over Playstation and Xbox in my eyes. The Joycons themselves are okay, definitely better than the old ones for the Switch 1, the sticks are a bit too sensitive. The GameChat and built in Microphone into the Switch 2 works really well and sounds great, it filters out background noises and you can even talk from super far away and your pals will be able to hear you great. Mario Kart World is a great switch 2 game and excites me for the new ones to come, a perfect example of a great nintendo game. The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great package especially if you get Mario Kart World with it, definitely worth it.

Love my Switch 2. I bought a memory card for it and love that I can easily take all my games with me. The screen is nice and large and the battery life is acceptable. I play table top, handheld, and docked. The only problem is that the ZR button on my controller didn't work, but Nintendo sent me a replacement. I bought an extra set of controllers and really enjoy having a spare set.

I bought this 100% expecting the worse based off other reviews. Well if there is one thing I learned in this world, its to not listem to all the bad reviews since most people are hard to please and expecr the world. The screen looks amazing even after coming frol the Switch OLED. Colors look nice and gameplay is alot smoother. Ive tested the new Madden 26 and was very skeptical but again, I read reviews saying it was "unplayable" when it actually is. I have a steam deck OLED but ive caught myself playing on the switch alot more frequently lately. Also the docked quality on some games looks amazing. Its so nice to finally play some nintendo games at 4k resolution. If your skeptical of purchasing this, id say try it out for yourself and see if it meets YOUR needs. Im glad I did, because its definitely met mine. Happy Gaming!

Switch 2 is an excellent console for both kids and adults. We’re having a great time with it and have deemed it a worthy follow up to the original Switch console. The big screen helps a lot for older family members with visibility issues and the joycons are very comfortable. I haven’t noticed any drift yet but we’ll see.

[Employee of bestbuy] The Nintendo Switch 2 is amazing: improved graphics, a spectacular screen, and longer battery life. Perfect for playing at home or on the go. I highly recommend it!

Amazing! Love how big the screen is, and how crystal clear the picture is. Only con that i can tell is the amount of play time which is 2 and a half hours. Charging is a breeze though. Glad i got the mario cart bundle as well

Bigger screen and better graphics But i still have seen any new game really shine Im hoping in the future when newer titles come out We can see the switch 2 potential

The Switch 2 feels like a natural evolution of Nintendo’s hybrid console. I love how smooth and immersive the games run, and the portability is still unbeatable. It captures the fun spirit of the original while feeling more modern. Overall, it’s a joy to play anywhere.

Love the console so far the games are pretty good I’m loving the Pokemon violet upgrade the game is a lot smoother now and I love how much bigger the screen is can’t go wrong!

Son loves the new controllers and bigger screen! The graphics are awesome!

When the Switch first got released, I got lucky and found a Best Buy that had some in stock the morning after the midnight release. The console had the typical 1st gen issues (overheating and drifting). When the Switch 2 was announced my boys both saved up to buy it. One bought it at Best Buy and the other at another retailer. The one who bought it from the other retailer received it on release day. The one who bought from Best Buy did not. In fact, the console from Best Buy was shipped from NY to Florida on release day. It was expected to arrive two days later, but a problem from the freight company made it another day late. The purchase from Best Buy was the bundle with Mario Kart. Both boys say the performance of the console is much better than the original Switch. That performance improvement is whether used as a handheld or connected to the TV. The expense of the express SD card has held up those purchases, but the on-board memory has been sufficient so far. They are both still waiting to get cases and other accessories which will probably be when they finally take a break from playing.

I have a PS5 and being honest, that is just a media center compared to the Nintendo. Being able to take Pokopia or Hogwarts legacy (or both) on the go, then coming home and docking the system to play has just been awesome. 10/10 you will start playing video games with your kids or your gf or your wife - maybe all of them together!

I’m extremely happy with my Switch 2 purchase. The system feels polished and well-designed, with smooth performance whether I’m playing handheld or docked. The display looks great, load times are fast, and switching between modes is seamless. It’s perfect for quick gaming sessions as well as longer play time, and it’s already become a go-to system in my household. Overall, it’s a fantastic upgrade and absolutely worth it for both casual and longtime Nintendo fans.
