The Nintendo switch 2. Must I say more ? No comment try for yourself !

I drove two towns over from Oklahoma to two diffent best buys. I just love the design , field and speed of the Switch 2.

Love it!! Can't wait for more new games. The system feels like a quality upgrade.

Comparing the experience and the specs to the switch OLED this really is more like upgrading to the switch Pro but if you're coming from these original switch and this is a gigantic upgrade for sure.

Love the new Switch 2. The kids love it and while there aren’t many games available, more are coming soon. So great to see this in full HDR!

Still no alot of ganes to give a full review.. only mario kart.. so far so good !!

I Love BestBuy, the best palce to shopping technology.

Love the system it’s all I’ve been waiting for from the system itself!

Pretty good I little bit better than the switch 1.

Its cool to have the new switch but the real reason anyone bought it was pretty much for mario kart.

Console itself is very solid. No complaints longevity is going to be what i wait for with the console.

I ordered a Nintendo Switch 2 and received a Play-Doh toy instead! Best Buy doesn’t even sell this item making it impossible to exchange. In store pickup was not an option when ordering the Switch 2 from Best Buy.com, only delivery with OnTrac as their courier. I reported this issue to Best Buy’s customer care, they closed my ticket and just told me to contact local law enforcement rather than trying to make it right. After this I will likely never order from BestBuy.com again unless I have the option to pick the item up in store.

If you’re contemplating getting a Nintendo Switch I highly recommend getting the Switch 2 over the regular Nintendo Switch or the OLED model, I’ll break down the reasons below. Performance: The Switch 2’s performance is a night and day difference compared to original Switch, games run buttery smooth, 60fps and 120fps are solid and of course the ability to play games in 4K resolution, as well as playing games in 120fps in 1080P and 1440P on a supported tv with a 120hz refresh rate. Backwards compatibility: The Switch 2 is compatible with about 95% of the Switch library, so all of the first party Nintendo titles will work on Switch 2, and many of the first party games have a Switch 2 edition available with the aforementioned upgrades like better resolution, performance, frame rate, etc. So even if you skip the exclusive Switch 2 edition of games, there’s plenty of other Switch games that will work on Switch 2 save for a few games that aren’t going to be able to work, but that’s not a huge issue. Ergonomics: Yes, the redesigned Joycon 2 controllers are a substantial overhaul of the original Joycons, much more comfortable to use, fits in the hand well, and its perfect to use by itself, it’s far more practical to play with in a game like Mario Kart World or Mario Party Jamboree. The pro controller is also one of the best controllers I’ve ever come across, also very ergonomic, worth getting if you plan to play more mature games. Portability: Even though the Switch 2 is much larger than the original Switch, it still maintains easy portability, the handheld is light, easy to store and take with you, the HDR display is really crisp and sharp, it may not be an OLED display, but it supports 1080P on the handheld itself and supports 60fps and 120fps as well in 1080P and 720P. The Joycons are magnetic this time, support mouse mode and it works like a PC mouse, it’s a neat feature and the Switch 2 has a built in microphone with support for chat with other friends with a Switch 2. The only minor downside is the internal storage is 256gb, so you will need Micro SD Express cards down the road. Not terrible, but 500gb would’ve been better. Overall Nintendo delivered a well thought out successor that improves on the original Switch in every single way possible. It’s faster, performs better, feels better, and for me it’s a worthwhile investment and upgrade. So if you’re thinking about getting a Switch, I can’t suggest the Switch 2 enough.

Def worth the buy! This device feels more premium than the previous switch. I love the snap on joy cons and I love how big the screen is! Performance is great. I love getting 60fps in handheld mode for most games. The only downfall is how long the battery lasts but ofc its due the bigger screen, 60fps, and HDR. Make sure to keep an external battery pack handy or near a wall outlet. Agaib, its def a great buy!

What can I say that others have not already said? The screen is great, even coming from the OLED version. The console is weighty and feels more premium than the previous iteration. The cartridge slot cover is MUCH better and I no longer think I am going to break it while trying to open it. Playing in 4k on my monitor is great! The only true issue that I am seeing is the battery for some people, and even that has not been an issue for me. Is it a bit higher in price than I would like? Sure. Are the official accessories and peripherals a bit absurdly priced? Ya probably. Are the games a bit much if you buy them new? Absolutely. That all said, where else can you go to get your pokemon fix? Or your mario fix? Nintendo. And if you are going to shell out the cash for it, you might as well enjoy it on a device that makes it look good. All joking aside, I really am enjoying my Switch 2. There are frequent sales on the Nintendo eShop and I have no real complaints.

A worthy upgrade to the original success console. While yes some games are lacking for its start line, the back catalog and the mix of free upgrades and paid, make this a good console to prefer if you are thinking of owning a switch and want to future proof. For existing owners of a switch original, wouldn’t be surprised to wait but if your excited like me, making this purchase will be your next obsession as long as you keep your mind in the right perspective. It is a beefed up switch, with some new things and some great things brought into from the oled besides the screen. It’s bigger, it’s feels better (although still recommend a grip) and honestly it’s impressive how much power they stuck into this console for how thin it is. Usually the competition have a heavier and bigger feel to it that makes it hard to take anywhere or fully feel comfortable over time with. They have a better feel but man is the switch 2 more compact and simpler to have around.

This is the BEST Nintendo console ever made. I have over 200 switch games and almost every game I try on switch 2 looks and plays better. The backwards compatibility alone is worth the price. The only 2 things I dislike are the battery life and the tiny amount of storage space for games.

As someone who is an avid gamer and frequent purchaser of games and consoles. I can honestly say this console is the perfect hybrid and handheld console I could ask for. Im a major Zelda fan so to be able to play “Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom” at a stable resolution and framerate is worth it alone. However, to play all these amazing on a bigger screen and larger console, makes this console worth it. Im finally able to enjoy 3rd party games that I originally want to play on the original switch and oled, now run more stable and be more beautiful is worth the investment. The only thing I hope they are able to fix in the future or with future iterations is the battery life for longer term handheld use, but I invested into a separate charger for the switch 2, that helps relieve that issue. Finally being about to charge from the top or bottom of the console is a god send feature I did not know I needed until now

The new switch is great Pros: Loading times are greatly reduced when playing games. The graphics are much better than the previous console both in handheld mode and on the tv. The joy cons and overall feel of the system is a large improvement. The screen is beautiful and is so much larger. Con The battery life is not good. It’s understandable due to the power of the console but you lose about 1 percent of battery per minute playing a game like Mario kart world. Overall I highly recommend the console and I have enjoyed playing it. I hope they are able to address the battery life with some type of firmware patch in the future but I am not hopeful. If you can get one, you will love it.

I recently purchased the Nintendo Switch 2 and I’m blown away by how much of an upgrade it is from the original. The screen is incredibly vibrant, load times are noticeably faster, and the overall performance is super smooth. It still retains everything I love about the original Switch — portability, flexibility, and fun — but takes everything to the next level. Games look better and run better. Battery life is solid, and the build quality feels premium. I also really appreciate how seamlessly it works with my existing Joy-Cons and accessories. Whether you're new to Nintendo or upgrading from a previous model, the Switch 2 is absolutely worth it. Highly recommended!
