Customer Ratings & Reviews

My children really enjoy this gaming system more than the original Switch. The graphics are obviously better but the gameplay is too.

I bought the Nintendo Switch 2 as a gift for my 4-year-old, and I’ll admit I was a little worried it wouldn’t be age-appropriate or easy enough for her to use. But she absolutely loves it! I’ve been a Mario player since I was little and was really looking forward to teaching her how to play… but joke’s on me, because she picked it up instantly and started playing all by herself. She didn’t even want my help! Seeing how naturally she figured it out and how much fun she’s having makes me love it even more. 10 out of 10 — we both love it.

Honestly, I didn't have any expectations other than to enjoy a classic game. Sure, most people are always going to make comparisons about all the previous game versions prior to MKW, but it is very fun. As a person who grew up with the original gaming systems from the regular nintendo console, this is definitely an upgrade. As far as price, I'm not going to go into it as that is a different subject matter, however, I was able to score a bundle when the pre-orders were finally live. I didn't think I'd get my hands on one, but I did and it was worth the waiting game. This is a console that I can definitely say that my family and I will share as the expansion opportunities for certain games, like Jamboree, for example. I hadn't upgraded from my original switch since i first bought it. I'm glad I was able to transfer my downloaded games onto the NS2. This is something I look forward to using with family and friends, especially on gaming nights.

It's as simple as the title. Runs smooth, smaller than other handhelds in the market, has an already impressive library of switch games, cheaper than a Steam Deck, easier setup. A good family console.

It's a huge step up from the original Nintendo Switch family of systems, but quite literally is just a more powerful Switch. If you care a lot about performance or keeping up with the newest games, then this is for you, but otherwise for the average consumer I can understand there might not be much of an appeal because there isn't a whole lot that is different besides power. Either way, I would recommend it to any Nintendo fan purely for the game library that is still small but expanding, and those few games that have released for it alone made the console worth it for me. My only issues with the Nintendo Switch 2 so far are the introduction of Game Key-Cards and the Home Menu being barely any different than the original Nintendo Switch's, although it is still a step forward, even if not a huge one.

Much Improved performance,graphics, larger display, and second USB. Battery life about the same but overall a great Nintendo improved design to add to the enjoyment of any gamer. Grandsons Christmas Present. Gonna Love It!

[Employee of bestbuy] It is definitely an improvement over the first switch and competes with a lot of other handhelds, but it definitely feels bare. Mario Kart World is a great launch title, but it still feels like it would benefit from some other releases. The backwards compatibility is a great feature and I hope developers add some more Switch 2 game upgrades to maximize the new features. Additionally, I think the screen is able to compete with the OLED from last gen, but I do hope the option becomes available again.

Amazing! Looks as great as bigger consoles and is portable, so I can play Mario Kart and Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection wherever I go! Highly recommended for everyone!

This is a really great console. I had a Switch 1 for 7 years but it’s been showing its age recently so the Switch 2 came out at just the right time. Switch 2 is better than the Switch 1 in every way. The games run so smoothly and fast, and the graphics look beautiful. The Joy-Cons 2 feel really nice and the buttons are bigger. I love how they connect with magnets instead of the rails like the Switch 1. This bundle comes with Mario Kart World which is soooo much fun, especially when playing with friends. I am very excited for future exclusive games for this console and I’m happy I was able to get it. If you loved the Switch 1, you’ll love the Switch 2. If you’re considering getting a Nintendo console and are not sure whether to get a Switch 1 or Switch 2, I strongly suggest getting the Switch 2 because it will give you much better performance, will last you more years, and give you access to all the upcoming exclusives.

The Switch 2 is better than I thought it would be. It was bought as Pokotopia was coming out and I wanted to give it a try. I have had a lot of fun with almost daily my husband and I are playing Mario Kart. It has been a blast. I’m happy we bought it. Can’t wait for more Nintendo Exclusives as that is what we use this system for.

Nintendo Switch 2 is what I expected. A well deserved upgrade from the first generation Nintendo Switch. It’s faster and the graphics are better. Much better. Don’t listen to anyone on YouTube saying otherwise. Because if or when you buy it, you may just enjoy it too regardless of what others say. You don’t even have to play Nintendo branded games on it. Play Doom (2016), Marvel Vs Capcom Fighting Collection or Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga. They’re all fun. Trust.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a strong evolution of its predecessor, blending handheld convenience with boosted performance. The upgraded hardware delivers noticeably smoother gameplay, faster load times, and enhanced graphics — finally bringing Nintendo closer to current-gen standards while still focusing on fun over raw power. The OLED display (if included) is vibrant, and the improved Joy-Con drift resistance is a welcome fix. Backward compatibility with original Switch games adds major value, and new exclusive titles help show off what the system can do. Still, it’s not a huge leap — more of a refined upgrade than a total reinvention. But for fans of Nintendo’s ecosystem or newcomers seeking versatility, the Switch 2 is an easy recommendation.

First time owning a switch console and it's tons of fun. The screen is a great size, the quality of gameplay is amazing, there's lots of different games to browse through. Donkey Kong country tropical freeze is my favorite game so far, reminds me of the old school donkey kong country games I used to play on super Nintendo. I also purchased a screen protector & a 2 year warranty plan to ensure the safety of my switch 2 console. I also bought a great Pikachu switch 2 case from Best Buy, the best case I've ever bought for a handheld game.

Switch 2 is a major upgrade over its predecessor the Nintendo Switch. The system itself is much larger and runs much smoother. Games are faster so the experience is much better.

I definitely say it’s worth it especially if you have the original switch you’re getting better graphics battery life a bigger screen clearer visuals and it can connect to the WiFi with Ethernet

Purchased for our kids for Christmas. Graphics and gameplay are definitely improved from the original Switch!

It really is a bigger and better switch. It's great More comfortable without a grip. Proper high-end OLED with HDR is recommend or o you'll ssom see for yourself if you have a lower tier Tv that says it does HDR but really it's not good enough and I recommend mostly having it off. Or else you will see a reduced of color. And some games look worse. and even a Pikmin 4 for example you see reduce foliage and tremendous loss in color

Got rid of my switch 1 a few years and was getting FOMO so I bought the switch 2 and haven’t looked back since! Such a fun console that I can play anywhere!

I suggest you get one before they raise the prices nonetheless I love my Nintendo been a fan since SNES. Graphics actually look pretty good esp. for pragmata game. Load times a way quicker, online subscription is the cheapest from all consoles, also better to hold &play on hands compared to steam deck/lenovo handheld pcs

One of the best purchases you can make for you and your family, allowing several people to play and feel like a family. The screen is very wide and allows you to see the designs very well. I recommend it 100%.
