    The Switch 2 is next level. The shame the switch has carried in the past can be crushed by this new console. The graphics are incredible, games that seemed unplayable on a switch 1 or switch lite are smooth and lack any sort of lag the previous gens have struggled keeping up with. The games are outstanding, and as more get released and upgrade packs become available to give your old games a new life, the potential the console has to offer in the future can excite you with reason now. I love the switch 2. Best purchase of 2025!

    I liked the Switch 2s screen, and the joy-cons. Didn't care for Mario Kart World, but it was a game to play on it. There aren't that many games to play on it yet. So I found a few games like Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Quest 1&2, and Skyrim. Skyrim I had on the Switch, and transferred the game, and saved data to the Switch 2. Quick and easy to do. I haven't used the portability of it yet while playing. The connection to my TV was simple, and the joy-cons on the controller it comes with gave me a good time.

    Console is overall great. Battery life off the dock is barely 2 hours biggest disappointment. The LCD screen surprised me honestly didn’t think it would be that great but exceeded my expectations. If you plan on keeping it docked and playing on monitor / tv I think it’s great but if you’re mobile then get used to being near a charger.

    Full disclaimer: I am a Nintendo fanboy. I love this console. The controllers feel smooth and overall are just better. The screen is great and the performance is truly amazing. Even the Switch 1 games just run better and faster.

    Absolutely amazing system. The new mouse controls are fantastic and MKW looks awesome. The battery life is just OK but that’s My only gripe with the system. It’s a lot of fun you won’t regret buying one. The game chat feature is really cool.

    The graphics and the wholehearted gameplay of nintendo is here in the Switch2. It runs so smoothly, making gameplay that much more enjoyable and I am excited for Kirby, Donkey Kong, and Pokémon games to get this smooth frame rate with their new games this year! As someone who recently went to the Nintendo Museum, the care and history of this company is singular and I am thrilled to be a part of this evolution in its gaming. I do recommend the procontroller because it enriches gameplay and as someone who enjoys home console gameplay, the huge screen really displays an enriched game experience.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart bundle from Best Buy is awesome! The console is super fast, runs smooth, and the screen looks great whether you’re playing handheld or on the TV. Mario Kart is included and it’s super fun right out of the box, perfect for playing with friends and family. Totally worth the money—one of the best gaming bundles you can get!

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is a lovely piece of hardware to run all the Nintendo games you like, just better. The change from sliders to a magnetic connection of the joycons is nice to use. Many of the additional features are interesting, but not captivating enough to be worth it. An integrated ethernet port as well as the additional usb type-c port on the console are extremely nice to have. Overall a good improvement to the original Nintendo Switch. Is it worth the price? Depends on how much you want improved performance!

    This is a fantastic new console from Nintendo. I could go on and on about the screen, the power and all the other little touches here and there but one of the biggest things for me is it's backwards compatibility. Quite a few games that don't even have official upgrades or improvement patches just look better and run smoothly if the game had dynamic resolution and didn't have a capped frame rate. The games just simply play outstanding on the Switch 2, which is quite the surprise and a very welcome one! Overall, I am quite happy with the switch 2 and can't wait for all the new games and such to come in the future.

    I was one of those who stayed out for the midnight launch for the switch 2, and im so glad i did. With the backwards compatibility, I've been catching up on some older pokemon games on top of the Nintendo online expansion + having a lot of games from regular Nes to gamecube. I haven't got all the attachments yet like the camera but most likely will eventually. They have a lot of games coming out that will be a must play like donkey kong bonanza and tony hawk pro skater and a new 007 james bond game which will make the Nintendo switch2 a great holiday gift for the family this year. -PW

    As an owner of all the Nintendo Switch systems, this console blew all my expectations out of the water. It runs games that feel like they were made for the next generation, including Mario Kart World bundled with it. If you’re on the fence about it, I’d say personally, even as someone casually enjoying it, the quality of previous Nintendo Switch consoles is improved upon ten fold with the Nintendo Switch 2. I couldn’t imagine running many heavy hitters like Donkey Kong Bananza on those systems; well worth the investment.

    [Employee of bestbuy] As someone who's rocked a day one switch for 8 years, this has been a fantastic step up in just about every regard. The new joycons feel a lot more comfortable to use and seeing a performance jump across the board for all of my old switch 1 games has helped to make them all feel better to play. Getting this bundles with mario kart has also been great (mainly cause I'm not paying 80 freaking dollars for it). While I'm not too jazzed about the pricing for most games and accessories, the console itself I think manages to justify its own price with what it's capible of.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is practically buzzing with excitement it's ready to leap off the shelf and into the hands of gamers everywhere! With upgraded internals, a sharper, more vibrant display, and lightning fast load times, it knows it's the future of portable and home gaming. The moment it boots up, it's as if it’s shouting, “Let’s a go!” eager to launch into sprawling adventures, high octane races, and intense showdowns. It can’t wait to show off its new tricks, dazzle with 4K graphics, and connect players in ways never before possible. The Switch 2 isn’t just a console it’s a celebration of everything gaming can be, and it's thrilled to be the star of the show.

    Although the switch 2 library is limited I'm more concerned about the performance of the console. It's quick to load screens that took forever on the switch OLED. Games from the original switch play like a dream with the increased performance upgrades. Switch 2 games look incredible in docked mode but seem to struggled at times undocked.
