Customer Ratings & Reviews

The price is a bit of a tough pill to swallow. However, after using it for a few days, this is a premium console/handheld for the price. The display is fantastic. The updated joy cons feel so much better. It's beefier but not in an uncomfortable way. It feels "just right". Now, looking past the hardware, I would not recommend this to someone on a fixed budget. Sure, you can use original joy cons with it but you'll soon find out, they won't be able to play all the mini games on Mario Party. And annoyingly, Mario Party locks out Mouse AND Motion mini games, without the Joy Con 2's. That's 99 dollars to get two more joy cons(L+R), but you don't get a joy con grip which is absolutely ridiculous. The grip with a charger is another 39 dollars for the branded model. You can buy just a left or right for 50. But now you gotta figure out how you're gonna charge the additional joy cons. There's third party charging stands that are a little cheaper. Oh, thinking about getting an additional dock... 130 dollars for it. And you can't use just any USB charger on the dock, it must be the Nintendo branded as there's a chip inside both the charger and the dock that must communicate with each other. Honestly, this is Apple tier BS. If you wanna bring great gaming and hardware to the masses, don't price out a significant amount of your base. The other problem I have is the eshop is not the value proposition such as a PC store front. When games are costing up to 18% of the console price, it's hard to recommend to a family who might be on a tight budget. It's going to be difficult for Nintendo to compete in a handheld market that is now fully over saturated with premium handhelds that have access to cheaper PC store fronts. Overall, can't recommend. Unless your kid is specifically asking for Nintendo exclusive games, your money would be better spent on a pc handheld with access to cheap libraries. You can get so much more for the same cost and your kid will have more games than they'll know what to do with. Or get this, two joy cons, and 3 first party titles and you'll be into this thing for 800+ dollars.

I really love this over the Switch 1 performance and quality wise. The bigger console is nicer for my hands and my family’s especially. The Switch 2’s performance is great like how it now supports 120fps on games and the improvement of the graphics.

Amazing console with a bright vibrant screen! Mario Kart World is a bunch of fun that I didn't think I would have while playing. Battery life could be better, but it's understood for this level of performance.

I bought my Switch 2 almost a month ago and this is my personal review for it. So the main reason I wanted to buy this console was the handheld aspect of it. Because a good chunk of my game time this past year has been on the go. And I wanted something with power and good games. Now I know at the time I’m doing this review there are only two big games on this console. MK world which is $80… and then the new donkey Kong. So I decided to get the MK bundle so that way it’s like I’m paying 50$ for an 80$ game. And speaking of MK….It’s a pretty good game but it does get old after a while so I would recommend getting the bundle with the game because I don’t think it’s quite worth $80. But overall I’ve been enjoying this console. So if you want a portable console with decent power and years of exclusives go for it. But if you’re not that interested in the games that are out right now I would recommend waiting another year or two for there to be more games with hopefully lower prices. This is my first review on Best Buy so hopefully I did OK. (: If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you will be saved! :)

Most fun system out right now. Perfect for if you game on the go and the new graphics + speed make it way better than the original. To me the way multiplayer works makes it great for the whole family

I had the first round of release for the original Switch and decided to upgrade to the Switch 2 when Madden released. It is so much bigger and so much faster that it’s very worth the price to me. The bundle came with the new Mario Kart which was a good incentive seeing as it only added $50 to the total as opposed to the $80 it would have normally costed. The controls are smooth and do not hold a lot of resistance. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s buying their first Switch or who is looking to upgrade. It’s worth it.

My so loved it, great graphics and smooth gameplay.

Great pickup experience and, with high demand items, Best Buy has had the most solid system with their variety of bundles! I have a PS5 and Switch 2 both thanks to them. The Switch 2 itself is a wonderful upgrade and fixes the frustrating frame rate and graphical issues with games like Xenoblade 3, Pokemon Scarlet/Violet, and Pokemon Legends: Arceus. The free upgrades to Switch 1 games is a very nice perk. The kickstand is much more comfortable, the battery life is improved, and the charging port on both top and bottom is a wonderfully needed correction.

The Nintendo Switch 2 builds on the beloved hybrid gaming formula of the original Switch but brings meaningful upgrades in performance, visuals, and features. It’s designed to appeal to both longtime Nintendo fans and new players alike — delivering handheld flexibility and enhanced home-console power.

The console performs very well! Graphics are a major improvement, but at the cost of the battery life being noticeably shorter.

I had a very easy & efficient purchase with best buy. I gave it some time to review & honestly it is worth upgrading from the original switch. The redesign in details is what makes me like the switch so much more. It comes with 2 holders & 1 controller already. There’s not really a need to buy anything else unless you want the camera which seems to be very fun if you have games that offer it.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but this experience deserves one. From start to finish, Best Buy made buying my son’s Nintendo Switch 2 one of the smoothest purchases I’ve ever had. I added it to my cart, grabbed the protection plan, checked out, and within minutes I had a confirmation saying it was ready for pickup. No confusion. No delays. Just straight efficiency. Pickup was ridiculous, in the best way. I walked in, showed my info, and I was out in about 30 seconds. No waiting around, no back-and-forth, no stress. That alone deserves props. But the real moment was Christmas morning. Watching my son open that brand new Switch 2 was everything. Pure excitement. Wide eyes. Big smile. He didn’t even know what to say, just straight joy. He was up and playing within minutes, and I could tell instantly this wasn’t just a game system, it was a core memory. Best Buy didn’t just sell me a console, they delivered an experience that was easy, reliable, and genuinely meaningful for my family. If you’re looking for hassle free shopping and moments that actually matter, this is it. 10/10. Would absolutely do it again

Very sleek system with a beautiful screen. I appreciate the higher frame rates and 4k support the most!

loveeee the new switch! it feels amazing in my hand and plays so well. i do wish the battery charge lasted a bit longer but still overall amazing new console for nintendo and definitely a nice upgrade from the original nintendo switch

Great product! Soo much fun! Cheers to Best Buy for easy purchase and delivering a day earlier than listed.

I bought the new Nintendo switch 2 and it’s been one of the best console I had it fun to use I use it at work cause I do delivers and I just be chilling and playing in the car.

Better than switch 1. eShop doesn't lag, the boot time is fast, but battery life is poor. The joy cons controller are magnetic versus the snap of switch 1. Different sounds too when using the system. A lot more base storage space versus switch one. Can play switch one games on switch 2

I love this thing. Nice upgrade from the switch 1. The screen and performance are noticeable upgrades. Looking forward to building my switch 2 collection with best buy’

Really enjoying it as an upgrade to the original Nintendo Switch. It feels very premium compared to my launch Switch and I'm very impressed with the specs for a portable console.

Bigger brighter and a better battery. LOVE the new magnetic JoyCons! Dock works with my case and screen protector, which is fantastic! I was bummed about requiring a different (express) SD card but tech is not going to stop advancing just for me.
