    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.

    The switch 2 definitely is an upgrade in terms of performance. And the process of transferring all my data to it was smooth, as was the download process for Legends ZA. Nice bundle to save a little bit of money. Only thing is when I went to pick it up, I was thinking I would get the playmat preorder bonus. But since it’s the console with a digital download not the physical game itself, it didn’t count.

    Excellent! I was a little hesitant at first to buy this because the specs aren't amazingly good compared to the switch, but after using it for a coupke months I have enjoyed the performace boost and framerates while playing handheld and docked. The one major drawback is the battery life is not sustainable for all day play if you're looking for that you'll have to source an external battery from 3rd party.

    Definitely a noticeable difference from the Switch 1. Smoother, faster and more beautiful.

    I thought this might be too big considering I mostly play on handheld mode but it's a good size. I hope they'll release new color ways for it but I like the shade of coral and blue peeking out from the black. The battery life isn't particularly long so it might not be suitable for long times away from its charger.

    I purchased this Switch 2 Bundle as I enjoyed the Legends Arceus Game. This bundle really come in great condition when it arrived to my house. I pre-ordered it and it arrived on release day. I played the game and have enjoyed the switch. I moved over my saved date from my Switch Wildcat Bundle, it's great besides the 2-3 hour battery life on handheld mode.

    Nintendo with the Good Hardware

    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.

    Definitely an upgrade but I have a personal gripe

    Everything works just fine but I do have an issue with how transferring data is done. You need 2 Nintendo branded USB-C wires with the brick. Not the one that separates but comes with both switches. I had to drive down and spend 40 bucks on another brick just to transfer my data. I think it’s horrendous that’s even a thing in the first place. It’s charging. Why does it need to be brand specific? Anyways, the battery lasts longer and the Pokemon game doesn’t lag noticeably like it did in S/V. I’m also enjoying the bigger joycons. ZA has been a blast to play on handheld since it doesn’t feel like it’ll explode the console. Over all fun console just a pain to get data transferred

    I don't play on a switch, but my kid does, and she loves it. She's pretty miffed about all the greedy manipulations Nintendo is putting on their systems now, with the "you don't own the games you buy" crap, and the pay to play old games junk... but whatever...

    Daughter's First Console

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

    My daughter saved up her allowance for years so that she could afford this when it came out. We missed our window with the first Switch 2 releases, but when this was announced we jumped on it. The game mechanics of ZA were a bit too advanced for her first video game, but the backwards compatiblility with previous Switch titles more than made up for the accessibility.

    Portibility is wicked awesome and can use as console to Tv suprisingly increases my expectations. Only dislike the pokemon bundle is not personalized in any way.. not sure why this was overlooked.

    What an improvement from the switch 1. I really like the console and yes this should have been the tech earlier, but it’s a good console. The new pokemon game runs greats with it. Definitely recommend the bundle if you plan on getting the game too

    Im loving almost every aspect of the new switch - the graphics are improved, it runs faster, the larger display is great. I do wish it had a larger battery/battery life though, because it feels like it doesnt last as long off the dock as the first switch.
