    The switch 2 is in my opinion a must buy

    The switch 2 feels very premium and has a good weight and battery life. The games looks crisp on the new bigger screen. The bigger joycons make it easier to hold for bigger hands. The new Mario kart is great and I love that it has a free roam mode. I can’t wait until the new donkey kong game comes out. I think it is a great upgrade and I’m glad I was and am an early adopter.

    The console works fantastic! I want to give a shout out to Steve, the manager at the Best Buy near the Westminster mall in Westminster CA. My Nintendo Switch 2 box was damaged when I went to pick it up during the midnight release event and he was able to get it replaced for me. Every employee that was working that night at the midnight release event did a phenomenal job. Big Thank you to Steve!

    Feels so premium compared to old switch. Performance is impressive for a mobile platform and I have been impressed with what it can do even on a 4K display. Looking forward to new games

    When first seeing the Switch 2, I was so excited especially since the system is backwards compatible with the original switch and launched with Mario Kart World. Despite the price and spike increase in games and accessories, the games so far play beautifully and load a lot faster. I mainly upgraded for the new Donkey Kong and Metroid game coming up, so I’d say grab one if you see one available!

    Best version of the Nintendo gaming system yet. Graphics are better than ever. Controllers are a bit larger which is great. Really like the magnetic feature of the controllers rather than the snap on.

    Feels worth the hype, the graphics for things are genuinely a lot better and it actually runs games smoothly (That’s probably a low bar but hey it makes me happy). Same terrible joycon design, so if you plan to play on it a lot I definitely recommend getting a separate controller to avoid bad hand cramping. My Bluetooth controller for my switch 1 still connects to the switch 2 which is great.

    Buy one (if you can)

    Buy one (if you can) It is worth it. The controversy is fake. If they are in stock in your area and you have the money it is worth it. If you like Mario Kart it is a must buy. If you haven’t yet played either of the best Zelda games (BOTW/TOTK) it is a night and day difference. There is no valid argument against the switch 2 aside from “I don’t have 450 to spend on a console right now”

    My son has the Nintendo Switch 1, and the improvements we've seen in version 2 have been wonderful: the image quality, the screen size, and the layout of the controls.

    This was a gift to my kid, he loves it. Though it’s a bit on the expensive end, the technology is quite impressive given its small size. Backward compatibility is a plus but graphics of the old games on the new console still look old (unless they provide upgrades which are okay at best). My biggest issue is, lack of games. Apart from the new Kart racing game, and very few new games made especially for Switch 2 (not including upgrades) the games library is rather small. Hoping we’ll get more good games soon.

    Great exclusives as usual, but better performance

    The fact this is a hybrid system and can handle 4k 60fps or 1440p up to 120fps is pretty impressive. Graphics and gameplay performance is a huge upgrade compared to the Switch. I definitely recommend picking one up. It is up there is price, but for what you get on this system it is well worth it. Hopefully they get a little more competitive this time around and mid gen get up to 4k 120 fps.

    I loved the switch 1, I have 100s of hours into it, so I bought the switch 2, mainly to play yakuza 0 with English dub, because I love that game so much. Everyone says Switch 2 is overpriced, I don't think so, sure there isn't many exclusives right now but it's only $150 over the OG switch and it's a ton faster, and bigger. Load times are drastically reduced. Its well worth it.

    I’m really enjoying the switch 2. Now that nintendo is moving development strictly to the switch 2 it was definitely worth the buy now rather than waiting for when they decide to raise the price for it

    Hard to rank. I purchased on a whim since it was in stock, and cant say it is a must have. It is basically the Switch that is a bit better. The main thing for me is the bigger screen. It doesnt hold a candle graphically to Xbx or PS5, and the crazy pricing on games is rediculouse. I usually buy a load of games with a new console, but just going with MK for now due to the high prices from Nintendo. The controllers are still uncomfortable, but better then the old ones. Best feature for me is mainly the larger screen. It looks great too. Eventhough it is better then the Switch, i wouldnt recommend unless you are looking for your first Switch.

    A polished upgrade that keeps everything fans love: smoother performance, sharper visuals, and a more premium feel. It doesn’t reinvent the Switch—but it makes it better in all the right ways!!
