    Switch 2 for Christmas Present

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I bought this for my kids for Christmas and pre-ordered it a month ago when it became available to make sure we had it well in advance so we could put it under the tree. BestBuy came through and delivered this today on release day. Despite all the tariffs and price increases other consoles have seen, the Switch 2 still remains the best value out there at $450 for the console and $500 with game bundle. There was another green handheld that launched today that costs 2x as much, which just goes to show how great a value Switch 2 is. This bundle includes Pokemon Legends and the box art is on the actual box and not just a sticker like some of the Mario units at launch. The box was a little bit scuffed up and wasn't shipped in a plastic sleeve but we're not reselling it or trying to keep everything pristine so not a huge deal. We have a launch Switch 2 for the wife and myself but wanted to get a 2nd one for our kids since we needed another one anyways. Thrilled that BestBuy has had good stock on Switch 2 and is able to keep it at MSRP, my kids will be very happy this year with this Christmas Present!

    Definitely worth upgrading to

    Great next gen system from Nintendo! Everything has been upgraded from the original switch 1 version. If you’re worried about the screen being LCD instead of oiled, don’t be. It looks just as good, and you don’t even notice after playing it for awhile. This system is backwards compatible with just about every switch 1 game, and enhances them with better graphics and frame rates. Switch 2 games look even better! The addition of Pokémon Z-A is included on the system as a digital download, and is a really fun game. The box art is a really nice touch as well. The only downside and reason that I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the battery life. At max, you’re looking around 3 hours, instead of the 5 to 6 hours I used to get on my switch oled. I guess it’s part of having a more enhanced and more powerful system, but hopefully Nintendo fixes it so the battery life will improve. Just like on the Switch 1, you can play in handheld mode, or on your tv, however the Switch 2 can go up to 4K. I have an Oled tv, and it looks incredible on it. If you’re thinking about getting one, don’t listen to all the haters online. Watch a non biased video on YouTube and see the differences for yourself. Also, many retailers that sell the have a display system available so you can try it out. I definitely recommend this system, and it was worth upgrading to. They also have a Mario Kart World bundle out, if you’d prefer that. Happy gaming!

    Console came new and undamaged, as expected and everything works perfectly fine! My only “complaint” is that the code itself for Legends ZA isnt an actual code, because someone I knew bought the Mario Kart Bundle, and that came with a physical code on a little slip of paper. The pokemon “code” comes in the eshop, all you have to do is open the eshop and a prompt will show up for you to downlod ZA. I spent longer than id like to admit looking for a physical code, but other than that everything runs great, game is smooth, and the Switch 2 is amazing. And so is Mega Chandelure!

    If you're a Pokémon fan thinking about upgrading your original Nintendo Switch, I highly recommend this bundle. The console is solid, the display is huge, and it works perfectly with all my old accessories. While the game is not perfect, I highly enjoy it more than any current Nintendo Switch Pokémon games as of this moment.

    Great upgrade for a Nintendo/Pokemon fan

    Much needed upgrade for myself since I had the OG Switch. Display is bigger and looks nicer, but I would recommend putting on a screen protector sooner rather than later. Battery life could be better. Took it on a trip in handheld recently and after about 2.5 hrs it lost like 45%. I would also recommend some sort of case/grips if you are planning on using it in handheld mode a lot. Built in storage capacity is enough for a couple of games, so I wouldnt worry about buying one of the new micro sd cards right now.

    Preordered the Switch 2 Pokemon Legends ZA bundle and it was ready on release date. Best Buy is my go to for preordering electronic devices and they handled the release amazingly with the preorder bonuses and everything.

    Never owned an original switch so now I can play all of the exclusives with more power. Magnetic controllers are very nice, and the menus are snappy. Also, a convenient bundle to get the new Pokémon game at a lower price.

    They had it ready before the store even opened the morning I ordered it. I was very impressed by this. As far as the product goes, yeah it's a switch 2 so if that's what you want this is a good place to get it.

    I love the new switch 2, load times are noticeably faster than the switch 1 ever could have been. Almost night and day, Pokemon ZA is okay, but the console experience has been perfect.

    The noticeable frame rate increase was a breath of fresh air for playing pokemon. The game itself was incredibly fun and the new battling mechanic is heavily adored.

    The Ultimate Nintendo Upgrade!

    The Nintendo Switch 2 with Pokémon Legends: ZA Pack is a true upgrade that exceeded every expectation. The new OLED-Plus display is stunning — colors are richer, details sharper, and gameplay smoother thanks to the faster processor. Compared to the original Switch, this model runs quieter, has a longer battery life, and transitions between handheld and TV mode instantly with its new magnetic dock. Pokémon Legends: ZA is breathtaking on this console. The open world feels more alive than ever, and exploring it with my kids has been amazing. We’ve spent hours catching Pokémon and discovering new areas together, and it’s become a bonding experience for the whole family. The upgraded Joy-Cons are more comfortable for both adult and child hands, and the improved sound adds real depth to the adventure. Nintendo has managed to keep its signature charm while making huge performance improvements. This system isn’t just for gaming — it’s about creating memories that last. Highly recommend it for families and fans alike!

    At first I was speculating if this was going to be any good. This is a perfect example of don’t judge a book by its cover. As soon as I opened the box it reminded me of my childhood. In fact it sent me back to a little 8 year old me, on christmas, opening up my first ever console. This was all my 8 year old self could have asked for. The game that comes with it is amazing, sometimes you need to be open to change. This game deserves a chance, its honestly different but in that creative way.

    If you are comparing Nintendo products to PlayStation or XBox you'll notice that their competitors had better hardware. Frame rates were faster. Controllers more robust. You name it. The switch 2 is Nintendo stepping into the modern era. In short it's beautiful. The frame rates are mesmerizing and the controls smooth like butter. I love that I can play anywhere and connect across the globe with the quality of the Switch 2.

    Nintendo Switch 2 is a Big Upgrade- Bundle

    I purchased this bundle in October and it arrived promptly on the release date with no damage. Out of the box it ran very well and I was able to get through the setup and claim the bundled game easily. Even nintendo switch 1 games run much smoother on the new system. Disclaimer- this is a digital only game that is linked to the system, so if you sell the system or trade it for a non bundled system, you'll lose the game.
