Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch 2 is an incredible upgrade! The graphics are absolutely stunning, the bigger screen makes gameplay more immersive, and the built-in speakers sound surprisingly good for such a small device. I personally use the docking station more than handheld, and I love that it’s backward compatible—my Nintendo Switch 1 games work seamlessly on the new system. As for Mario Kart World, I have mixed feelings. The graphics are off the hook—truly next level—but I’m not a fan of the new Battle Mode. Unlike Mario Kart 8, where you could come back with fewer balloons and keep playing until time ran out, once you lose your life here, you’re done. That said, the game still has its own strengths and is visually amazing.

Improved CPU and graphics really make this console a great upgrade from the OLED Switch. I really like how the controller attaches magnetically attaches to the main console. I really appreciate that most controllers from the prior generation is compatible with this one, just wished that I could use the older memory cards. While the battery life seems to be less, it’s expected for a more powerful system. Overall, this is another great console from Nintendo.

I upgraded to the Switch 2 from my original launch-day Switch, and the difference is night and day. The larger, upgraded screen is a game-changer—I find myself playing in handheld mode far more than I ever did with the OG model. It’s vibrant, immersive, and makes every session feel fresh again. Performance is another huge win. Games like Breath of the Wild run noticeably smoother—no more frame drops disrupting the experience. Nintendo clearly stepped up their hardware game. The updated Mario Kart included with the system is a great bonus. It’s not just a rehash—it feels like a thoughtful refresh of a classic that makes jumping back into races feel exciting again. If you’ve got kids, this is a fantastic console to have around. It’s easy to use, family-friendly, and packed with games that are fun for all ages.

Great product for anyone of all ages. The system is very easy to use for a new person to get the hang of. The system is very friendly to those who have used any of the Nintendo Switch systems before. Only downside is storage. If want to have a lot of games on your console, you will need to dish out the extra money for the MicroSD card, but they aren't terribly expensive. If you only have 2-5 games, you can use the internal storage.

Great overall improvement. Battery life is nothing spectacular, controller that comes with is garbage, and storage is low. However, system runs fast and smooth and looks great compared to switch 1

The Switch 2 is a worthwhile purchase, $450. The console’s improved screen quality and speed make a real difference in both handheld and docked modes. Everything feels smoother, and the new display is a big win. The Mario Kart World bundle is fantastic value. The game looks beautiful and offers the classic, highly addictive racing that is perfect for local or online play. If you're ready to upgrade or looking to jump into the Nintendo ecosystem, this is a great, solid bundle.

Joycon's are better, screen is better and looks much nicer, handheld life is pretty good. I enjoy the graphic improvement on older titles and it is nice to have gamecube games on here. Can't wait for more third party games. I highly recommend getting a pro controller for extended gaming sessions

I had the first Switch since it came out. Loved it. Bought many games for it for my kids and I. The switch 2 is a huge upgrade. The display alone makes the upgrade worth it. It is a lot easier to play games on it instead of having to doc it to the tv. I find myself rarely doing that actually. I would definitely recommend upgrading if you are able to do so.

Supee fast shipping. The switch itself is super cool. The graphics are super clear and more detailed. You can pass down previous downloads from the first switch. So you can play even more games. The controller is smooth and has good grip. Really fast changing. The switch is bigger and has a nice screen super light in weight. Super good gift or for oneself. When you play games the graphics are clear very good definition. And easy for all ages. Love it highly recommend. :)

best console. every switch 1 game just .... works. except they're now magically at 4k and high framerate. handheld is perfect and the object itself is a seamless curvy work of art.

The Switch 2 is a solid upgrade from the original. Performance is noticeably better, games run smoother, and load times are much faster. The screen looks great in handheld mode, and the console feels more polished overall. Setup was easy, and it works perfectly with my existing Switch games and accessories. If you enjoyed the original Switch, this is absolutely worth the upgrade.

A great little system, so far. My kids absolutely love Mario Kart World, and this version just updates and upgrades all the things we liked about Switch 1. The controllers are especially nice, but only time will tell if the drift issue from the previous models has actually been fixed, like they said. We all love the bigger screen, and enhanced graphics as well, all though it is less portable, although not egregiously so. Biggest plus is being able to use all our previous games and even getting a free upgrade to some of them via our Nintendo Online account. Breath of the Wild has been given new life and I'm playing it again. It's pricey but considering the lifespan of the previous system (which was much longer than the average Games Workshop game) and all the fun we had with it, we expect to get a lot of use out of this one, so it was worth the cost.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great console. I like the upgraded graphics and that it’s faster when scrolling through the eshop. It is a good deal with the Mario Kart included since it’s a $80 game so you save $30. One of the few things this new system is lacking is new games when it first came out. It should have came out with DK banaza to go along with Mario Kart because Mario Kart was is a short game but the graphics are really good and it is a fun game. The great thing about the Nintendo Switch 2 is that it backwards compatible. One other thing about Nintendo is that they should make more physical game cartridges and get rid of the game key cards. Digital is ok but I’d rather have a physical copy or digital copy because you can’t play the game if you don’t have game key cartridge in the system if you want to play a game that is game key cartridge and if you have digital version there’s no need to worry about it you have game key cartridge. Having physical games available is what gives a better experience when buying new video games. People want something to look at and hold and is better for those who like to trade or collect. But overall the Nintendo Switch 2 is a good console which I believe will be even better with time as new Nintendo Switch 2 games are released that take advantage of the new systems hardware. I ask Nintendo to please take their time with pokemon generation 10 and other future legends games because when you make the graphics not just for the pokemon but for the environment better you’ll see better feedback and sales. Also if possible make different difficulty modes like easy/normal/hard would make the games more challenging and fun. Also making good music for the games will be Make the games more fun! I look forward to the new Yoshi and hope to see a new Mario maker 3 , new 2d Mario and also don’t forget about Starfox !! Star fox was missed last generation and would help give the other IPs a break . A brand new starfox in 4K would be awesome and addition to starfox zero remaster in 4K with adjustment of controls because Wii U was a little awkward and star fox 64 remake !

After using it for a few months I can honestly said that I’m truly happy of buying it. Zelda looks incredible and runs perfect! (Remember that you must pay for the Switch2 upgrade). I’m amaze how good Cyberpunk looks too, I hope that they give the Witcher 3 an upgrade too, since the Switch2 is a more powerful handheld. Other than that I totally recommend you to buy one and to get ready for Metroid Prime 4!

It feels like this is the promise of everything that the Switch should have been. It's a joy to hold and play on portably, and in a dock it shines in 4k. Games, especially updated ones, are plentiful. It has become my preferred platform, knocking my beloved Steam Deck down from the winners podium. I'll ding it a tiny bit for Game Key Cards, but I feel like that problem will solve itself in the future. A must buy for any fan of gaming.

I recently got the Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle, and overall, I’m very impressed with what Nintendo has delivered this time. The console feels solid and well-built, with a clear emphasis on quality. The Joy-Con 2 controllers have a magnificent magnetic attachment that makes connecting and removing them feel smooth and satisfying – a big upgrade from the original. One of my favorite improvements is the larger screen, which offers bright colors, sharp resolution, and great visibility, even in bright environments. Whether you’re racing in Mario Kart World or exploring another game, the visuals look fantastic. Another major plus is backward compatibility. I love that I can still play my Nintendo Switch 1 games on this new console. It saves money and lets me continue enjoying my old favorites without needing to repurchase anything. As for the Mario Kart World game included in the bundle, it’s an exciting upgrade to the classic. It combines traditional tracks with new, global-inspired courses and adds more online features and challenges that keep the gameplay fresh and competitive. The only concern I have so far is the battery life. While it’s not terrible, I feel it could last longer, especially during longer play sessions in handheld mode. Hopefully, future updates or newer versions improve on this. Final Thoughts: If you’re a Nintendo fan or someone looking for a high-quality, portable gaming console with a strong library of games, the Nintendo Switch 2 – especially with this Mario Kart World bundle – is a great choice. Just be aware of the battery duration if you plan to game on the go for long hours.

Huge upgrade with better performance, faster loading, and improved graphics while keeping the fun portable experience.

Graphics are great, processor, and over all operating system is worth it. Not sure how much of an upgrade it is from the original switch, but it’s worth the upgrade from switch lite. Wish the battery lasted longer, but overall it charges quickly so time between restoring power while playing is minimum. Especially since it can be played while charging.

Even with the price, I still find this a great step in right direction for Nintendo. The only thing I wish they had done differently, is change the UI but that can always be addressed with updates. The actual hardware itself has been great. Size of the screen, joycons are a better improvement over the Switch 1, and everything is much faster compared to Switch 1

Was talked into getting the new Switch 2 when buying games for my son's Switch 1 and I am really glad I did. Even though it was a Christmas gift for my son I think my husband and I have played it the same amount as our son :) it's so fun. The controllers are way better than the 1, and the bigger screen is perfect when it's not hooked up to the TV.
