    Nice Upgrade from OG

    This is a nice upgrade from the OG switch. The screen is a downgrade from the OLED, but the performance upgrades to the UI and games is appreciated. Definitely not 7 years of upgrades tbh, but for Nintendo to even put out 4K is surprising. A nice upgrade and the bundle saves you money. So a well priced upgrade compared to the PC handelds that cost double the price.

    I’ve really liked this device. I have a couple nitpicks, 1. The screen seems to scratch extremely easily. Better get a protector on there asap. 2. The dock is lame. I think it should have had a fan, this gets hot. It’s also way overpriced and shouldn’t even be required. The usb c ports should allow video output.

    I bought the Switch 2 just for the launch title, the Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 bundle, and I am blown away. If you are thinking about upgrading, do it. This is a premium, powerful system that still keeps the magic of the hybrid design. 10/10 must-buy!

    I haven’t played on a system in a long time, and it’s great to have one again — play on the go, on the TV at home, or while relaxing on the couch or in bed. It feels great in the hands, super convenient, and honestly just makes gaming fun again.

    My son is an avid Switch player. I never thought he'd tell me his Switch was blah. The Switch 2 definitley comes in hot! My only knock, Nintendo needs to make the games bigger. Way too easy to lose.

    The Switch 2 is a fun system for all ages. The graphics are better than the original Switch. I have not had any issues with the system after 2 months of owning it. It is fully compatible with original Switch games. The Mario Kart World game is fantastic. The only downside to the system is the price, which is a bit high in my opinion.

    I was skeptical about purchasing until an associate at another store suggested the Switch is their favorite console. This is good. very, very enjoyable. Wish it had more exclusive,s but good nonetheless. Also, would suggest keeping your original switch so you can maintain flexibility when gaming

    I like that I can play my old switch games with better performance. So far my only switch 2 games is Mario Kart and I guess its fun but I never really played a lot of old mario kart. I would recommend that you buy a express SD Card if your planning to download games as it performs and loads faster compare to the built in memory.

    [Employee of bestbuy] If you're on the fence about getting a Switch 2, I highly recommend getting one as soon as possible. For someone who skipped the first Nintendo Switch, the Switch 2 is a ton of fun. I've got the whole catalog of Switch games to play through, plus new Switch 2 games like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza make this a must-have for anyone who didn't get a Switch.

    Love how sharper the graphics are on switch 2 than switch is. Mario car world is fun but love donkey Kong bananza so much. Destroying the environment, gathering bananas, rpg like functions of improving skills , and the various villians is cool. Just be warned, the std cards for switch don’t work on switch 2. Will need a new one.

    I held off getting the switch once I noticed the poor framerate. Now that the switch 2 is here Ive been enjoying both Zelda games at a much higher and stable framerate. I also really enjoyed Pokemon at higher fidelity and fps.

    What Are You Gonna Do? NOT Buy a Nintendo System?

    Getting a Switch 2 at launch was important to me. It is a noticeable upgrade over its predecessor and MARIO KART WORLD is a tremendous start to Nintendo's first party game lineup. Careful with peeling the sticker off the code for that game though. My code peeled right off and Nintendo had to send me a new one, but they did so within 12 hours so not too shabby.
