    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!

    Overall better than the switch 1, graphics are a noticeable upgrade and loading times are faster. The additional $10 rewards for this product is cool but not as good as ordering from the Pokémon Center where they send you a plush AND a poster.

    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.

    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.

    Beware of issues with the game code

    Overall it is a great console, but the game is linked to the serial number of the console. It is annoying to set up and you risk losing access to Pokemon Legends Z/A if you lose access to the console. Other players have reported that they lose access to the game if they have the console replaced under warranty and Nintendo won't restore access.

    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.
