Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch 2 has a ton of thought put into it, making it feel like a proper gaming device instead of a toy like the original Switch. The Switch 2 can finally play modern games, making it a viable standalone console instead of supplementary to the other consoles.

This is exactly what every fan of the OG nintendo switch wanted, a more powerful console that could run those bigger titles but without sacrificing the portability. Nintendo just deliver with this one.

The Nintendo Switch 2 isn’t a radical reinvention, but it’s the kind of steady, smart upgrade longtime fans were waiting for. From improved visuals to expanded storage and refined controls, it feels like a more polished, future-proofed version of the original hybrid console. **Display & Visuals** The biggest everyday difference comes from the new OLED+ screen. Games look crisper, colors pop more vibrantly, and there’s noticeably less motion blur in fast-paced titles. Whether docked or handheld, the Switch 2 pushes higher resolutions and smoother frame rates, especially with first-party games optimized for the new hardware. **Storage & Performance** Nintendo finally addressed one of the original Switch’s biggest pain points: storage. With a default 256GB internal memory, most players won’t immediately feel forced to buy a microSD card. Load times are quicker, thanks to both the upgraded processor and faster internal memory, making switching between games and apps feel much snappier. **Battery & Build** Battery life holds up surprisingly well, considering the performance jump. On average, I got around 5–6 hours playing games like Tears of the Kingdom. The console feels sturdier too—joy-con drift hasn’t been an issue so far, and the new magnetic kickstand is genuinely useful. **Final Thoughts** If you already have a Switch OLED and mostly play docked, this may feel like a minor step up. But for handheld-first players or those still using the launch model, Switch 2 feels like what the original Switch always wanted to be: better picture, better storage, better overall.

it’s only been a bit over a week since release and i find the NS2 to be really nice. all of the switch games that might have run a little funny (like certain parts in the newest zeldas) run beautifully on this even if you don’t get the game upgrade. the screen is bigger and brighter and the joycons are much sturdier feeling. i have no complaints and i don’t expect to have any for a while, if at all. if you like the switch - this one is def a good upgrade.

Greatest Console So far. Screen is clean and crystal clear and quick and fast console. Coming from a Nintendo switch lite its 10x better. And battery life is great so far.

The Nintendo Switch 2 bundle with Mario Kart World is a no-brainer pickup for anyone looking to buy both. The bundle comes with everything plus a digital download code and is very worth priced. The game is super fun and actually really well made. The console is a good upgrade tech wise and is well made in quality. While the graphics may not be a PS5 or Xbox Series quality, the handheld is super impressive for being not that big and with backwards compatibility, makes a good pickup. The console is impressive for the size, and compared to others on the market, portability is appreciated and therefore justified the price for me. Overall, i would recommend this console to people who are fans and need it. If you dont want it now, a price drop or sale would justify a pickup later on if you don't plan on purchasing now.

The same old switch with improved performance and screen!! Can't wait for Elden Ring port and The Duskbloods!

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!

Bought the original Switch during the pandemic and finally updated. Notable improvement in graphics, same great gameplay.

Feels like a premium product. Its impressive screen stands out right away. Somehow it comes across as "this is what Switch is meant to be." Games at 60fps are NICE. And sharp graphics are very welcome. It is a little bit expensive considering Nintendo is generally your more accessible family console, but knowing the hardware here it's pretty reasonable.

I had been putting off getting this because I did not like how the battery life is. However, that is a small part and every thing else about the system is great.

Who doesn't know Nintendo? I've played almost every console the brand has released. The Nintendo Switch was a brilliant innovation because you can have a portable game in your hands or play with your family at home. I was waiting for the new Switch 2 and eager to see the improvements it would bring compared to the previous one, and I have to say there's a lot to praise about this new console. The price is around $500 or more in almost all stores, but as a Total Tech member at Best Buy, I was able to save $50, something I wouldn't have found anywhere else. I highly recommend it; it's the perfect console for playing alone or with family, and its portability makes it fantastic.

What a great machine! This is such an awesome way to play your games. I owned a switch og and eventually sold it because i wasnt happy with the way the games had started to look. Then i see the switch 2, and was so excited to finally play a worthy successor to the og switch. Buying it was so easy, and using zip to make the payments was awesome. So if you dont have all the money up front you can try to set up payments through a company like zip. It was paid off after 2 months and reflects good when you might wanna use zip again. The switch 2 is such an awesome console and i have to pinch myself sometimes as im playing these games that look like theyre being played on a ps5!

Love the switch 2 - got it for my boyfriend and son for the holidays. The screen is a lot bigger. Graphics are great. We had the 1st, but wanted to upgrade and we're all happy that we did. :)

Such an upgrade compared to my switch oled. Loading times, graphics, bigger screen and controls and l so much more. Play switch 1 games so much better. If you are on the fence just do it you won't regret it. Now that the switch oled has a price increase just pay the extra for the switch 2. Or if you have an oled just sell it and covee some of the cost of the switch 2.

It's good, better graphics, bigger screen. Only downside is slightly less battery life

I loved the original switch but the switch 2 is better in every way. It's faster and has better graphics. Playing with friends is better with the chat and video streaming as well. I highly recommend getting the switch 2!

This switch is definitely bigger then the others . It has a great display , and it’s working great so far. Games seem like they won’t take the long to download which is great for me .

This is my first Switch and I love it. Easy to use, smooth performance, and I really like being able to play handheld or on the TV. Games look great and load fast. Very happy with my purchase!

The improved performance, vibrant display, and versatile play modes make every session feel fresh and exciting. Whether docked or handheld, it brings people together effortlessly—an essential console for social gaming and memorable
