    I think the Switch 2 is awesome. Takes everything good about Switch 1 and made it better. I have enjoyed all the new games and enjoyed better performance on Switch 1 games in my collection that I still play. The bundle with Mario Kart World felt like a great value.

    Switch 2 offers a bigger screen and better graphics. Def an upgrade can already see the performance difference in SW1 games.

    I've been using the Nintendo Switch 2 for a few weeks now, and it's a major improvement over the original. The OLED screen is stunning—colors are vibrant, and it’s noticeably brighter, which makes a big difference in handheld mode. The performance boost is real: games load faster, run smoother, and the battery life has improved significantly. I also appreciate the improved ergonomics of the Joy-Cons—they feel more comfortable during longer play sessions, and I haven't experienced any drift issues so far. The new kickstand is wide and stable, making tabletop gaming a lot more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

    The NIntendo Switch 2 is definitely the upgrade we all wanted! I highly recommend the Switch 2 for any gamer who just plainly wants to play games on the go or on the television.

    So Nintendo technical told a bunch of half-truths about the technical specs of the screen and video output, but it doesn't change the fact that they known how to make great games. The device is also still a pretty tremendous upgrade on the Switch 1 in basically every way. For anyone who owned a switch and has a back catalog, this device has been actually transformative for so many of those games on top of it. It may be worth the upgrade just to get the added benefit to older switch 1 games you love or havent played yet because of performance issues. There are a lot of reasons to be frustrated with Nintendo, but they still have it where it counts. FYI, I have had to swap out my dock 2 times now for faulty Ethernet ports on the back. Make sure you periodically check your internet settings if you plug the deck into wired ethernet so that if yours goes back you can RMA it through nintendo.

    Should probably be 3 stars but I’ll give it 4 because I never had the original Switch. Not sure this is worth it for people who have Switch 1. It should really be called a Switch Pro since it is essentially the same console as the previous model with some marginal upgrades. It now has the power of a PS4 so I guess that’s good. Overall it’s fun, and nice for kids but I’m finding the game selection to be pretty bad and basically right now we just have a bunch of Switch 1 titles along with the new Mario Kart. This console is very underwhelming and they took streaming apps away. Unreal. Nintendo has gone downhill. I also don’t like joy cons. They charge $100 for those things WITHOUT the connector dock. You have to spend so much for accessories. I prefer the pro controller but it’s also like $90. How that controller costs more than a dualsense is mind boggling.one more negative that in handheld mode the thing is just too heavy. That’s coming from an adult. For a kid it’s just too much to hold. My kids use it more on the tv or tabletop.

    Coming from an older model, the Switch 2 is a dream. Everything runs much faster and looks incredible on the new display, both handheld and docked. The new Mario Kart World is the perfect launch title, with a massive new world to explore and super fun gameplay. This bundle is worth every penny. I also had an amazing experience purchasing at BestBuy. I traded in my original Switch and the team made the experience seeemless and easy for me. I will definitely shop there again.

    An excellent product that has the Nintendo DNA, it comes with Mario Kart, the Switch 2 looks like an upgrade from Switch1, the only thing missing is that we need more games

    The device itself is very premium feeling in handheld mode, the joy cons are very satisfying to click in and out. The power of the device is better than you'd expect. Mario Kart and DK bananza are a great time.

    So much is missing in the retail environment. Not one of your employees seem to care. Workin the customer experience…very little help with buying more to enjoy the product. Yes I pre bought on line, but why not upsell? Not one persons tried. It was here ya go. No wonder people buy from Amazon. I’ve spent thousands over years with your company. And now it’s just a “robot experience”! Can’t say bad about the best. But it definitely lacks on what what Best Buy should mean. I can spend my $ anywhere. But “Best Buy” is boring buy! Get it?

    The main menu is a lot smoother over the OLED switch. The screen is a lot bigger as well. Worth the upgrade if you primarily use it as a portable console.
