    Very awesome how games/titles from Switch moved to the Switch 2, and Switch 2 has supported all the Switch games we already had. The Nintendo Parental Controls app synced settings to the Switch 2. The new Joy Con release triggers are much better than the Switches small button, plus the magnetic attachment rather than sliding into the rails os really cool. Screen is much bigger, its without a doubt a step up from the Switch, but still has all of the awesome characteristics, just a little refined, smooth & crisp. Alot of thought must have gone into it, having the charging port for USB-C on the bottom for docking a d then also ontop so you can comfortable play handheld while charging. Nintendo's team must have listened to customer feedback because it does show.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is a magnificent leap forward that manages to feel both familiar and brand new. While it retains the core hybrid concept that made the original so beloved, every aspect has been refined and upgraded, making it a truly exceptional console. For those looking for the definitive portable gaming experience, the Switch 2, especially bundled with the brilliant Mario Kart World, is a fantastic purchase. The most noticeable improvements are in the hardware and build quality. The console feels sturdier and more premium than its predecessor, with a refined design that is both elegant and durable. The new, bigger 7.9-inch screen is a major highlight, offering a sharp 1080p resolution and a vibrant display that makes games look absolutely gorgeous in handheld mode. This is a huge upgrade from the original Switch and makes a world of difference. The new speed and graphics are a game-changer. The custom NVIDIA chip delivers a massive performance boost, allowing for faster loading times and more fluid gameplay. Games look significantly better, with enhanced visuals and smoother frame rates that breathe new life into both new and backward-compatible titles. The bundled Mario Kart World is the perfect showcase for this power, with its stunning graphics and dynamic courses. The console is a testament to Nintendo's genius, providing an overdue but well-executed upgrade that feels more polished, powerful, and fun than ever before.

    True Game-Changer – Nintendo Has Outdone Itself!

    Coming over from the Steam Deck OLED, I wasn’t sure what to expect — but the Nintendo Switch 2 has absolutely blown me away. From the moment I powered it on, it was clear that this is more than just a sequel — it’s a complete reimagining of what portable gaming can be. Performance-wise, the Switch 2 is a beast. Games that previously struggled to maintain 30 FPS now run buttery smooth at 60 FPS, and load times are dramatically reduced. Titles like Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Smash Ultimate don’t just play better — they feel like upgraded versions, all thanks to the improved internals. One of the biggest surprises for me has been the backwards compatibility. My entire digital Switch library carried over effortlessly, and many of those games now run better out of the box — higher frame rates, more stability, and just an overall smoother experience. No re-buying, no hassle — just better performance. As someone used to the heft and size of the Steam Deck, I was amazed by how portable and comfortable the Switch 2 is. It’s lighter, more ergonomic, and the battery life feels significantly improved. The handheld mode is a dream — I can game for hours without hand fatigue, and the display is sharp, vibrant, and super immersive. In short: the Switch 2 is everything I hoped for and more. It honors your existing library, packs a serious punch in performance, and redefines what a hybrid console can be. If you’re on the fence, especially coming from something like a Steam Deck — this is 100% worth the upgrade. Nintendo absolutely nailed it.

    Good console, fun game, decent price for what it is! The new screen is bigger & the graphics are very good as well. I like how the controllers are magnetic & have a button you press to pull them off (so they don’t just fall off) instead of the slide on the original switch, overall good purchase, very fun for family game night!

    What you would expect a switch but with better, bigger screen, a better display than the original switch, no oled model yet but not a huge dealbreaker in my opinion and a much more powerful console overall, only wish the battery was better

    I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 for my son, and he absolutely loves it. It’s become one of his favorite ways to play, whether he’s using it at home or taking it with him on the go. He picked it up quickly and has had no trouble navigating the system or starting games on his own. What I like as a parent is how smooth and reliable it has been. The system runs well, games look great, and it’s easy to switch between handheld and docked modes. The console feels solid and well-built, which gives me confidence it will hold up to regular use. Overall, this has been a great purchase. Seeing how much my son enjoys it makes it worth it, and I would definitely recommend it to other parents looking for a fun and versatile gaming system for their kids.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is a solid upgrade with better graphics, faster performance, and improved controllers. It keeps the same hybrid design that made the original great, now with smoother gameplay and 4K support when docked. Battery life could be better, but overall it’s a fantastic console for the price.

    The Essential Launch Kit

    I finally snagged the Switch 2 bundled with Mario Kart World, and the upgrade is massive. If you were holding off on upgrading, this is the time. Everything feels faster—from menu navigation to game loading—and the visual leap is immediately noticeable, especially when docked to the TV. It still keeps that magic of jumping from the big screen to handheld mode, but now with a legitimate performance boost. The Mario Kart World inclusion is brilliant. It’s the ultimate console-launch title because it’s instant fun for everyone, and it really shows off the system’s smooth multiplayer capabilities right out of the box. The new controllers feel solid, too; a noticeable improvement in comfort and responsiveness. This is more than just a minor refresh; it's a huge step forward for Nintendo. This specific bundle provides immediate, high-quality fun and showcases the console's full potential. It's truly the essential way to dive into the Switch 2 ecosystem.

    My daughter is thrilled with the Nintendo Switch 2. Everything works perfectly, and Mario Kart World is especially fun for us, particularly when we play on the TV—it looks amazing! She loves playing with it in the car. I highly recommend it. To avoid running out of power on the Nintendo, I suggest keeping a power bank in the car. I bought a very inexpensive case at Best Buy, and it's been working perfectly so far.

    I absolutely love the Nintendo switch 2. I’ve been team PlayStation for over 25 years and I can honestly say this system has some innovative features! The fact that you can play it 3 different ways is innovative on its own. It can be docked (connected to play) on the tv screen, handheld (play on the small screen) or you can just pull out the kickstand behind the switch screen to prop up the screen (you can disconnect the controllers on the side and both attachments turn into 2 controllers). I was mind blown. The Switch really took play anywhere to another level. I didn’t have a Switch 1 but I have no complaints about the Switch 2 so maybe they worked out the kinks and made a great console. The switch 2 doesn’t have a lot of new games but all the switch 1 games work on the switch 2. Including the switch 1 controllers… you just have to pair it. I personally bought the pro controller and switched “A and B buttons” in the system settings because I was so used to the traditional PlayStation controller. At first it was a learning curve but after I made action and back bottoms on the controller work like the PlayStation I was having a great time!!! Great investment. Another recommendation is a portable charger if you plan to have it on the go all the time. I’ve only heard the battery lasts about 4hrs. The most I can play a game is about 1.5hrs maybe 2… then I’m ready to be productive in life. I played for a hour and the battery went down only 23%. I just put it on the dock to change until next time. The controllers charge there too. Connect everything and dock it and your golden. However, If you’re a 5 -8 hr gamer keep that in mind. Another great feature is the dock takes up a small footprint. It’s about 6-8 inches max compared to PlayStations’ console looking like an old school thick encyclopedia- game console still well worth it by the way! Last night I just found out there’s an online feature where you can download all the classic Nintendo games from old Nintendo game boy advanced, game boy, game boy color, sega genesis, and Nintendo’s pixelated arcade era FOR FREE! Some require a $2 fee… some you can only play if you subscribe to the online membership. There’s a 7 day trial to check it out. If you’re a serious gamer $40 a year is well worth it to have all the Nintendo classics on your new 2025 console. I personally only downloaded Tetris but theres Pokémon snap, Pokémon stadium, bajo tootsie… all the Mario’s ever created on each Nintendo system….. the list goes on. I’ve had it for about 2 weeks and I still haven’t gone into all the features. Oh and you NEED A MICRO SD EXPRESS for saving the games!!!! Regular micro SD won’t be fast enough. The switch 2 has a temper glass already on it but it scratches. I’d recommend a screen protector as soon as it comes out the box to protect your investment… or not.

    I’m loving my switch too. I had this switch one and I was able to use the Best Buy trade-in program to put it towards a gift card for the switch to Best Buy actually paid more money than anybody else around would pay for the switch one we love the switch to the screen is a lot bigger. It’s really nice for traveling on the plane. I enjoy the new controller too, and how the joy cons just magnet on versus having to slide in and out all around a great product worth the upgrade from the first version.

    I had the first Switch and I think the Switch 2 is a great upgrade from the original system. Screen is large and games look beautiful. It runs better, storage is a LOT bigger and the joy-cons are very satisfying to detach and re-attach. The console's price is a little high in my opinion, but if you love Nintendo it's worth it. Biggest downside is the battery, barely lasts an hour depending on if you're playing a graphics intensive game or not; same as the first Switch.

    Nintendo Switch 2 Review

    The console itself is an improvement on the original Switch: larger console but not so much that it feels unwieldy, crisper display, and faster processing power. I like how the Joy-Cons magnetically snap into the console as opposed to sliding in on the original Switch. However, I have noticed that the loading time for a few games feels just as long if not longer than on the Switch but I have not measured the time elapsed so I cannot definitively confirm. Its battery life also seems to drain faster when the Switch 2 is simply sitting on my TV stand undocked but in sleep mode. The price is exorbitant for the limited selection of dedicated Switch 2 games and I bought this begrudgingly so I could play titles such as Mario Kart World with my friends. Speaking of which, the game itself is fine but nothing stellar. You are presented with many characters and vehicles to select from and it includes a few new items to utilize during races. However, the course selection feels limited for a 'world' game especially after playing Mario Kart 8 for so many years. The sheer number of opponents in races feels overwhelming and almost frustrating because you are constantly bombarded with items depending on what place you're in which makes progress difficult. I don't really like how, in the Grand Prix mode, most of the time spent during the subsequent races is traversing the area between the former course to the next one so by the time you reach the latter, the race is practically over. That just feels weird to me. Finally, the Free Roam is by far my least favorite; it is mind-numbingly boring with practically nothing to do except drive around. Those challenges interspersed throughout the land are not engaging enough either to compel me to continue exploring. Overall, the Switch 2 is an improvement on the first Switch but is quite expensive and Mario Kart World is better off being played with friends but even then you might find yourself losing interest. I would recommend this product only if you have enough money saved and there are multiple upcoming Switch 2 games you are interested in playing

    I’m really enjoying the nintendo switch 2 , It runs older switch 1 games way better and the visuals look fantastic on the switch 2. I know there’s not alot of games out yet for the switch 2, But I really like Mario Kart World and Dk Bonanza. Fast Fusion is also a very good game that you can get in the Nintendo eshop for $14.99. Everything just feels so much more fluid and games run so much better on switch 2. Also the Nintendo switch 2 pro controller is way better and a must have. The screen on the Nintendo switch 2 imo is very good and it’s so good that I sold my Oled switch. Another great thing about the Nintendo switch 2 is Nintendo actually listened and the cover for the game card slot is very easy to open now and feels so much more premium. More great games will be coming and I’m excited to see what Nintendo brings to the table. Imo Nintendo Switch 2 is worth the upgrade, You don’t need to wait for Oled. So if you’re in the market for a Nintendo switch 2 , I would say go for it. Hope this helps and happy gaming everyone.

    Awesome!!! My son loves it! 1 of the best things I could’ve gotten him for Christmas. Although I had to take it back within 2/3 weeks after purchasing because it malfunctioned. They took it back and replaced it with a brand new one. An even swap. Warranty and all transferred over. I will rate this as a 5 star 10 out of 10 rating. Nice size screen. Great graphics. Just wonderful. Love how the games are versatile as far as using the regular switch 1 games for switch 2. Looooove it!!!
