    This was a gift to my kid, he loves it. Though it’s a bit on the expensive end, the technology is quite impressive given its small size. Backward compatibility is a plus but graphics of the old games on the new console still look old (unless they provide upgrades which are okay at best). My biggest issue is, lack of games. Apart from the new Kart racing game, and very few new games made especially for Switch 2 (not including upgrades) the games library is rather small. Hoping we’ll get more good games soon.

    The Nintendo Switch 2 is the next generation of gaming. Even old games that used to lag at some points no longer experience lag. Minecraft is smoother. Boomerang Fu is smoother. Split Fiction is breathtaking. My family and I have played it at least 100 hours in the 1st 10 days. Best Buy did a great job with my preorder, and thankfully did not staple a receipt to my switch 2 box haha. 5 star experience.

    Best Buy’s website is easy to navigate, and it clearly shows different Switch options (standard, OLED, bundles, and sometimes refurbished units). I was able to see prices, compare models, and check store availability — which was helpful for planning whether to order online or go in person. When I visited the physical store, staff were friendly and able to confirm stock for the unit I wanted, even though the website showed limited availability. My order was ready quickly at the pickup counter, and that part of the process went smoothly.

    The switch 2 is in my opinion a must buy

    The switch 2 feels very premium and has a good weight and battery life. The games looks crisp on the new bigger screen. The bigger joycons make it easier to hold for bigger hands. The new Mario kart is great and I love that it has a free roam mode. I can’t wait until the new donkey kong game comes out. I think it is a great upgrade and I’m glad I was and am an early adopter.

    The Switch 2 is a huge upgrade compared to the switch 1/switchlite! System is easy to use, controllers disconnect and reconnect so much easier and the display quality is amazing!

    The console works fantastic! I want to give a shout out to Steve, the manager at the Best Buy near the Westminster mall in Westminster CA. My Nintendo Switch 2 box was damaged when I went to pick it up during the midnight release event and he was able to get it replaced for me. Every employee that was working that night at the midnight release event did a phenomenal job. Big Thank you to Steve!

    When first seeing the Switch 2, I was so excited especially since the system is backwards compatible with the original switch and launched with Mario Kart World. Despite the price and spike increase in games and accessories, the games so far play beautifully and load a lot faster. I mainly upgraded for the new Donkey Kong and Metroid game coming up, so I’d say grab one if you see one available!

    Buy one (if you can)

    Buy one (if you can) It is worth it. The controversy is fake. If they are in stock in your area and you have the money it is worth it. If you like Mario Kart it is a must buy. If you haven’t yet played either of the best Zelda games (BOTW/TOTK) it is a night and day difference. There is no valid argument against the switch 2 aside from “I don’t have 450 to spend on a console right now”

    Actually runs the games

    Feels worth the hype, the graphics for things are genuinely a lot better and it actually runs games smoothly (That’s probably a low bar but hey it makes me happy). Same terrible joycon design, so if you plan to play on it a lot I definitely recommend getting a separate controller to avoid bad hand cramping. My Bluetooth controller for my switch 1 still connects to the switch 2 which is great.

    While not much has changed from the original Nintendo Switch at first glance, it is obvious after playing on it a little bit that there is better processing, the graphics are better, and more advanced games are now able to offer their products on the Nintendo Switch platform.

    I loved the switch 1, I have 100s of hours into it, so I bought the switch 2, mainly to play yakuza 0 with English dub, because I love that game so much. Everyone says Switch 2 is overpriced, I don't think so, sure there isn't many exclusives right now but it's only $150 over the OG switch and it's a ton faster, and bigger. Load times are drastically reduced. Its well worth it.
