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!

This was my second Nintendo product I owned, coming from the Switch Lite this thing is so much better all around, I enjoy the screen a lot which enhances my playing experience so much more to the point I feel engaged to pick it up and play the games on it more so. The Joy Cons are good, not the best but definitely an upgrade compared to what I was coming from before, they feel more responsive and I haven't noticed any stick drift yet while using it which is also a big positive. The device is great, if you're on the fence about spending that much money for a gaming console that's totally understandable, but putting it into something like this where you can game on the go or on the big screen via the dock is worth the investment as long as you take care of it.

I bought it for my 9yo and he's happy with it. Compared to the first Switch, this one is bigger and the picture quality looks better. I don't know much about it but everyone plays it and its great when you have family over. One of the things my kid likes about it is the way the controllers snap of instead of sliding off. Overall fun, but i also heard if you use third party attachments it could disable the switch and games are only digital???

This product exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent and it works perfectly. The setup was simple and the experience is very enjoyable. The design is modern and the performance is smooth. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something reliable and fun. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase.

Bigger, Blacker, and necessary if you want to play any of the new games. Which we did. There are no great changes except the screen is bigger and the default controllers are black. It feels more like enough time has passed since the original came out and someone at Nintendo wanted a yacht. If you’re looking for reviews on if the Switch 2 is worth it there are some great deep dives a quick Google search away. If you want one and can afford it, just buy it, you’re going to anyway.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the rare sequel that actually feels like it respects your time, your eyes, and your existing game library—all at once. From the moment I powered it on, the upgrade over the original Switch was obvious. The 7.9" 1080p HDR screen is bright, crisp, and big enough that feels like a true “main” way to play, not a compromise for when you’re away from the TV. Colors pop, fine details in games are suddenly visible, and text is comfortably readable without squinting. Docking to the 4K TV makes it feel like an entirely new era for Nintendo, not just another refresh. Nintendo nailed the hardware details. Controllers slide on magnetically with a satisfying click, feel more solid in the hand. What really makes this system shine is how load times and frame rates are dramatically better than the original Switch. At the same time, it still plays compatible physical and digital Switch games, and some of those even get upgrade packs or performance bumps, so your existing library doesn’t become obsolete—it actually feels refreshed. Exclusives like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza would show off what the new hardware can do, and it’s exciting to know this is just the starting point for the generation. In short, Nintendo Switch 2 is exactly what I hoped for: a true next‑step Switch that keeps everything I loved about the original while making it faster, sharper, and more fun to share with others. If you’ve spent years with the first Switch, this feels like seeing your favorite worlds again with new eyes—and if you’re jumping in for the first time, there’s no better way to experience Nintendo’s games today.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a definite upgrade over its predecessor. With the larger 1080p screen, the larger joy cons that magnetically attach to the console itself, the better graphics, and faster load times, it's truly a joy to play. And the original Switch games even perform and look better. For instance, Smash Bros Ultimate has much faster load times. Totally recommend the upgrade if you can afford it!

Love my switch 2. My OLED was stolen while working out of town and I waited for the 2 release. It runs so smoothly and is a great size. I highly recommend for a chill portable gaming system

Yes i love this game system but if im being honest it feels like nintendo settled the switch 2 has a slight bump in graphical ability thats great but its nothing exciting you buy this because like me you grew up with nintendo and you want those nintendo games i feel the price increase is almost highway robbery for what it offers the joycons still feel small the screen is not amazing it should've been oled and lastly your stuck playing only games nintendo approves i wouldnt recommend this as your only system get a ps5 or build a pc THEN you can enjoy the switch 2 for what it offers nintendo games are awesome its not worth it to try to pirate switch games just buy the system their meant to be on

So far, so good. I’m enjoying this console. I like the size of the Switch 2, especially compared to the original Switch, especially since I’m mostly playing handheld. I haven’t docked it to the TV yet, so I can’t comment there. The few Switch games I’ve tried so far (well, really just Pokemon Scarlet) are running far smoother on this console than the last. I can’t comment on battery life yet because I haven’t had a chance to play for long. I have also heard that JoyCon drift is still an issue, and I’m hoping I don’t experience that. Nintendo really has no excuse to have not fixed that WELL known issue after all this time. As an aside, I think the $450 price tag is fine for what the product is, and that price isn’t what bothers me… but I don’t plan to go buy any $80 games all willy-nilly. There is no way that Mario Kart World is worth $80. And the game key cards for 3rd party are a terrible idea. I will basically be using this console only for first party Nintendo games and the online services (eagerly awaiting the GameCube Online to add the Pokemon Colosseum and XD games). I will save any new third-party games for my PC.

I had the white Nintendo switch and it was great but this new switch 2 is tons better just because of the size of the screen alone, I can see so much more! The graphics are clean…. I’d recommend it to anyone and everyone

Honestly fantastic. A great, sleek system that’s a portable powerhouse and courtesy of Nintendo Magic is a console powerhouse too. Mario Kart World is incredible to play, and the NS2 has breathed extreme life into recent Legend of Zelda and Pokemon titles. New joycons feel excellent in hand.

WELL worth the upgrade from the original OLED version! Very happy with the joy-con magnets, the screen size, and how it looks up on my TV. Hoping to see more third party developers releasing more games that were not on the original Switch, or wouldn't have been released on it, give the Switch 2 a chance!

I absolutely love the switch 2. My one big complaint is the screen. It's a nice crisp screen but they should made it OLED right off the bate. The NS2 is so much more powerful and better built then the switch. It has enough power to play some aaa games. Finally! The batteryife is not as good as the switch 1 but what do you expect being so much more powerful. Easy fix get a good power bank and your set.

I know the price is a bit more but the consle if very nice. Screen is large, bright and grafics are great. Only complaint is the battery life is only 2h or less if intense gaming but i guess with the performance and screen boost thats the traid off.

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

Our family has been fans of the original Switch for years, but the Nintendo Switch 2 is a massive leap forward. My kids haven't put it down since we got it! Why my kids love it: The Big Screen: The new 7.9-inch display is stunning. The colors are so much more vibrant, and the 1080p resolution in handheld mode makes their favorite games like Mario Kart World look incredible. Better Performance: Everything runs so much smoother. They’ve noticed that games load faster and there’s almost zero "lag" when things get hectic on screen. Backward Compatibility: This was the biggest win for us—all of our old Switch games work perfectly, and some even look better thanks to the improved hardware. Why I love it (as a parent): Enhanced Parental Controls: The new "Bedtime" notifications and granular play-time limits are lifesavers. It makes ending a gaming session much less of a battle. Built-in Social Features: The new GameChat feature makes it much easier for them to play with their cousins safely, without needing a separate phone or tablet for voice chat. Battery Life: We're getting much better mileage during car trips compared to our old launch-model Switch. If you’re on the fence about upgrading, it’s worth it just for the peace of mind and the smile on the kids' faces. It really is the ultimate family console

I love that this switch is bigger so it’s more comfortable than the first switch. Also the controllers no longer have the sliding rail which causes less problems for the controllers. Overall a great handheld system!

A great system - just gotta wait for more games to come out. Build quality and screen quality are top-notch. It's not just a power upgrade from the original switch; everything is sturdier and better designed. The only downside is the memory, but it's expandable with cards.

Nothing as a perfect console, but it gets four stars because they made the switch 2 bigger and for someone like me with big hands that is a godsend! I recommend it highly if you want it for handheld and on the go as cyberpunk 2077 plays pretty good in hand held. Now remember when I said there is no perfect console? The reason this doesn’t get a full five stars…Nintendo’s policy and the fact you need to update it before it even becomes backwards compatible.
