    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

    My original Nintendo switch was on its last legs when the Nintendo Switch 2 was announced, so I was in obvious need of an upgrade. The original Nintendo switch struggled handling games such as Pokemon SV and Legends Arceus. The performance thankfully improved for the Nintendo Switch 2. I no longer saw flying Pokemon animation frame by frame. Additionally, this bundle came with Mario Kart World which was a plus. I recommend upgrading to the Nintendo Switch 2 if your switch is at the end of its life, or you’re looking for upgraded graphics.

    The switch 2 is Nintendo’s most iterative console in decades; but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The original switch was nearly a perfect console and the switch 2 improves on its predecessor in nearly every metric focusing specifically on performance. It has dramatically increased ram, storage and a much more powerful gpu. Excited to see what 1st party Nintendo devs can do with this new hardware. The console also feels more premium in hand with a a better build quality and screen is also brighter. My only complaints are the lack of an oled screen, middling battery life and frankly terrible ergonomics in handheld mode

    Love my Switch 2. I bought a memory card for it and love that I can easily take all my games with me. The screen is nice and large and the battery life is acceptable. I play table top, handheld, and docked. The only problem is that the ZR button on my controller didn't work, but Nintendo sent me a replacement. I bought an extra set of controllers and really enjoy having a spare set.

    So much better than the first switch! This one runs so smooth and feels and looks great. Me and the wife play on it all the time handheld mode and we love the bulit in mic when playing with friends. Tv mode is amazing but we mostly bought it for handheld mode. I would buy more if i had the money lol

    Nintendo Switch 2 trumps all other game systems.

    Love the Nintendo Switch 2, despite there being only one Nintendo game at launch they delivered in being able to play switch 1 games, like both Zelda’s and free updates to others to make them more standard for 2025. When I heard about the Switch 2, all I really cared about is that it was just a better switch, so those games that didn’t run well on the original switch can now hit their frame caps. Another thing about the Switch 2 I wanna mention is that it has this new mouse mode for games that play better with a mouse, Which was really cool and puts it over Playstation and Xbox in my eyes. The Joycons themselves are okay, definitely better than the old ones for the Switch 1, the sticks are a bit too sensitive. The GameChat and built in Microphone into the Switch 2 works really well and sounds great, it filters out background noises and you can even talk from super far away and your pals will be able to hear you great. Mario Kart World is a great switch 2 game and excites me for the new ones to come, a perfect example of a great nintendo game. The Nintendo Switch 2 is a great package especially if you get Mario Kart World with it, definitely worth it.

    I bought this 100% expecting the worse based off other reviews. Well if there is one thing I learned in this world, its to not listem to all the bad reviews since most people are hard to please and expecr the world. The screen looks amazing even after coming frol the Switch OLED. Colors look nice and gameplay is alot smoother. Ive tested the new Madden 26 and was very skeptical but again, I read reviews saying it was "unplayable" when it actually is. I have a steam deck OLED but ive caught myself playing on the switch alot more frequently lately. Also the docked quality on some games looks amazing. Its so nice to finally play some nintendo games at 4k resolution. If your skeptical of purchasing this, id say try it out for yourself and see if it meets YOUR needs. Im glad I did, because its definitely met mine. Happy Gaming!

    Switch 2 is an excellent console for both kids and adults. We’re having a great time with it and have deemed it a worthy follow up to the original Switch console. The big screen helps a lot for older family members with visibility issues and the joycons are very comfortable. I haven’t noticed any drift yet but we’ll see.
