    Everything about this device is great, minus some from the battery life, which feels a little disappointing for longer couch sessions. Very impressed that it doesn’t overheat, and runs very well both docked and in handheld mode. The build feels way more solid than Switch 1 and the JoyCons feel much more stable.

    Awesome!! Gave it to my son for his birthday and he instantly loved it! He’s a gamer, has just about every console, oldschool and new, and he hasn’t played on any other system since the end of July. Bigger screen, better display resolution and the magnetic joycons are an amazing upgrade =)

    I don't care that people are complaining about Nintendo. This is a significant upgrade on all levels and I MEAN all levels. I don't need to go into full detail because this product not only smashed the standards of the last one, it set a new bar for Nintendo. That and it cost the same price the OLED did uppon first release. The cost is just as affective as before with better gear, just buy it and you'll see what I mean.

    Good product, much better than the original switch 1. I’ve spent several hours playing with this device on the go. The display is great and the ergonomics aren’t as bad as people say. Big downside is the cost of first party games and not having the biggest selection of games even several months after launch.

    I like it! I couldn't be happier that Nintendo was going out of their way to get most / all the old Switch1 games to work on the new console! That is awesome! Looking at e.g. Cyberpunk shows what the console can do - and I am looking forward to see more titles like this! The game Mario Kart World was also a lot of fun to play. Unfortunately though a *new* and stellar launch title like the Zelda games are still outstanding from Nintendo. I hope that happens soon! Now to the things to think about: 1. I own a Switch 1 Pro controller. It works on the Switch2 ... except for it cannot wake up the console. Why? Sorry I have to say that this has a smell of squeezing out money for accessories again to get one button which is alreay there and which worked in the past. On the bright side: I have now at least 2 controllers. 2. The docking station experience is somehow similar. But overall I recommend it.

    Excellent service. I bought this product through the website and the customer service was very friendly and fast. I was able to pick it up at my chosen Best Buy branch without any problems a few days later.

    A Worthy Upgrade for Nintendo Fans

    I recently purchased the Nintendo Switch 2, and I am thoroughly impressed with the improvements over the original model. The upgraded display is brighter and sharper, making games look fantastic whether I’m playing in handheld mode or docked on my TV. One feature I really appreciate is the enhanced game performance. The system runs more demanding games without any stutter, giving me a more immersive experience. Overall, the Switch 2 is a fantastic upgrade and totally worth it for both casual and dedicated players. Highly recommended!

    The Switch 2 is a massive upgrade over the Switch, whether that be the first edition, Lite, or even the OLED version. I've noticed improved performance in many games, like Xenoblade 3, Pokemon Violet, super steady 30fps on Fire Emblem 3 houses, faster load times on many other switch 1 titles as well. Of course, playing an actual Switch 2 game is where the console shines brightest. Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Zelda BOTW and TOTK switch 2 versions are incredible. I do wish there were more switch 2 games at launch, though, many are coming soon and next year. Overall, very happy! If you for sure are itching to play any switch 2 games and its within budget, do it! If the current titles, or the upcoming Legends ZA Pokémon game doesn’t excite you much, hold off for now until the library does expand.

    Mario Kart gets Better and Better

    Mario Kart on the Switch 2 is everything fans want and then some. The game keeps the classic Mario Kart chaos but feels smoother, faster, and more competitive thanks to upgraded hardware. Races look sharper, load quicker, and multiplayer feels more intense whether you’re playing online or locally with friends. Tracks are colorful, creative, and packed with shortcuts that reward skill, while items keep things unpredictable and fun. It’s easy to pick up but hard to master, which makes it perfect for both casual players and try-hards. If you like competition, couch co-op, and pure fun, this is a must-play title.

    Best portable device EVER!!! So so so glad I had the opportunity to pre-order the NS2 Mario bundle for my wife. Seeing her light up after opening it was definitely worth it! The quality is unmatched, graphical fidelity is superb, I would recommend it to any casual or hardcore gamer!

    The Switch 2 is a great device. They is a huge increase in quality over the previous generation. I transferred all my data from my old switch quickly and Mario Kart World is definitely a good step up over the old game. Definitely runs Nintendo games well but if you want to play modern console games that have been adapted for the switch you may be disappointed as you miss out on some animation details. Make sure you get a screen protector!

    Bought this for the GC emulator and Mario Kart. There are a lot free updates to other switch games that make it more fun or playable like Pokemon S/V running at an acceptable frame rate. Coming from a launch Switch 1 but im enjoying better frame rates and some games getting better graphics and a bigger screen
