Upgrade on every level, great graphics, great screen. Tons of fun and free Mario Kart plus it with $50 off.

great for on the go gaming. battery life could be better.

I really enjoy the versatility, you can play anywhere, bad the battery

We love our Nintendo Switch 2! We had a blast all winter break playing games as a family. It is great that the joyc9ns from the original switch and the pro remotes can be paired to this. The slightly bigger screen is awrsome for handheld play although ours mostly stays on the dock for family time! Super easy to purchase with Best Buy onlinr and got when they had a $50 off deal with the Mario Kart World game included and super simple to pick up in store.

Much larger display that the switch 1. Which can make it more difficult to hold and play for some. I like the fact that it has backwards compatibility and I think the graphics are improved. I think it is priced a bit high, but if you trade in a previous model as I did at BestBuy, it makes the price a little easier to deal with. Unless you need your previous switch, it is nice that this will continue to play them.

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’m super excited to share that after all the waiting, I finally got my hands on the Nintendo Switch 2! My first impressions after picking it up from Best Buy are absolutely fantastic. it’s clear that Nintendo has created a wonderful successor. You can really see the upgrades right away. The larger, more vibrant screen is the first thing that grabs your attention. Even though it’s not an OLED, the LCD quality is really impressive, giving a noticeable boost in visual quality for both new games and those classic Switch titles. Revisiting games like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom feels like a whole new experience thanks to smoother frame rates and faster load times!

The nintendo switch too was a great buy.Better graphics, bigger.My grandson really loves playing it.I'd recommend it for anybody

An excellent console, now bring on the games!! Many improvements over the original in every way imaginable. Feels more premium, has a better screen, the buttons are bigger, decent battery life, magnetic joy cons are amazing. I can’t wait to see what comes out for this thing in the future.

So glad I upgraded - worth it for the larger screen and faster uploads. Really enjoying DK bonanza and Mario Kart World.

Very happy kid on Christmas. Super easy to transfer data and games. Ease of use is amazing. Game is top notch. Very happy.

really good console, i enjoy the games available, and it runs much better than the original, though it loses battery a little wuicly

Works great as handheld or docked. Looks great on the tv when docked.

The new nintendo switch 2 provides a bigger screen and controllers with more immersive gameplay, at the expense of handheld batter life (about 1 hour). Well worth it for both docked and handheld, understanding that external batteries are common.

I was able to upgrade to this from the original switch. It’s a HUGE upgrade. The performance is night and day. The screen looks great and games look awesome with the Switch 2 update.

Nintendo did a great job of improving on an already great console while not overthinking it and changing the things that worked. The new joy cons feel even more premium, the magnetic attachment is addicting, and the larger size makes them feel much better if using a singly joy con for gaming (i.e. local play on Mario Kart with friends). Screen is larger and comes with a built in screen protector which balances not being too bulky when in handheld mode while not feeling to small. Kick stand is also a HUGE upgrade. Also, a lot of the negatives have more to do with the launch lineup (which isn't an issue with the console itself but Nintendo release time frame or decision making) and because people think naming it Switch 2 is the equivalent to the Wii U debacle. For some reason people seem to forget that other companies create a product and just use a numbering system for their next iteration (PS1, PS2, PS3, iPhone X, iPhone XI, iPhone XII, Galaxy, tablets, etc). Easily the best handheld gaming experience, the steam deck is unwieldy compared.

I love this new switch. Now this is coming from someone who doesn’t really game. I prefer Mario games and easy pace games really but I think the switch 2 is amazing. I love the way it looks and the games look amazing too, in my opinion.

The Nintendo switch 2 is an amazing gaming console. I love the big screen and new joy cons. I’ve always had issues with the old joy cons as the knobs seem to go bad quickly. I also love the new features on this system including the chat option. It makes online play more fun. I also appreciate that if you have the original game that was for the switch you can upgrade the game for the switch 2 for a cheaper price. Overall loving this system. It is a great update.

Great release of the Switch 2! Visuals are stunning and gameplay feels smooth. I’ve enjoyed Nintendo games all my life and playing future Nintendo games with this updated tech has me stoked. Only disappointment console-wise is the battery life. To this, the Switch 2 feels like a catch-up with other consoles and handhelds (namely the Steam Deck). Doesn’t have that feel of exceeding current tech. If you’re a big Nintendo fan, make plans to get it. If you’re not that into Nintendo games but enjoy video games in general, may need to put more thought into purchasing.

I love everything about the Switch 2: 1) The bigger & faster screen, 2) The more comfortable joy-cons, 3) The faster frame-rates and higher resolution in games. I think that is price difference is definitely warranted (when comparing it to the Steamdeck, ROG Ally, etc.)
