Customer Ratings & Reviews

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.

I’ve been waiting for an upgrade to the Nintendo Switch. This console definitely delivered by Nintendo and it’s more powerful than its predecessor! The console itself is bigger than the Switch OLED, the Joy-Con 2’s are bigger and more sturdy when snapped onto the console, and the screen resolution is more clear. The games I’ve had played on my old Switch definitely run more smoothly on the Switch 2. The games made for the console really shows the hardware’s capabilities like 120fps, HDR support, 1440p (even 4K), and enhanced surround sound. Would recommend this to players needing an upgrade for the Nintendo Switch. But to PLEASE keep in mind about the price if they’re adamant.

Nintendo released a beast. This is an improvement over the switch in nearly every way. I was a late adopter to the switch ans often regretted it but i havent once regrettted this console. Its powerful, its fast, and its beautiful.

The switch 2 is for sure more powerful than the switch 1. Almost every game I've played runs smoother, most notably is pokemon violet which has lost almost all of it's framerate chunk. The notable downside however the currently limited game roster. I'm hoping that'll be fixed soon but the switch 2 is almost a year old and it hasn't gotten all that much.

It's a powerful, well built device. The screen is really nice and bright for an LCD too. Buttons are responsive. The whole system itself feels really slick and sleek in the hands. I mostly use it handheld and there isn't any issues I can find that hinders my gaming. The Switch 2 library (excluding original switch games) is pretty small though at the time of me writing this so I suggest holding off unless you really wanna play the new Donkey Kong or Mario Kart

Switch 2 is a huge upgrade. Setup was quick, the system feels fast and smooth, and games look sharper with great load times. The controllers feel solid, and switching between docked and handheld is seamless. Battery life is solid for my use, and the UI is clean and responsive. Worth it for anyone who plays often.

This is a massive upgrade over the original Switch in every way, it's nice to have something that will be able to run modern games on the go. So far games are running at 1080p/60fps, even handheld. The battery life is not as good as the original Switch, but there is no way around it at this time because this additional graphical power requires more battery power. You can increase battery life by doing things like turning down screen brightness or turning off HDR temporarily. It also depends on what kind of games you're running...Switch 1 games and lower-end games take MUCH less battery. Even though the internal storage is much larger than the original, if you have a lot of games you will still want to add a MicroSD Express card.

Traded in my old switch and got the switch 2, im so happy that i did. It was definitely worth the upgrade! The screen is so nice and it’s very light and easy to hold (i do have small hands) If you’ve been thinking about it, do it!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is everything we loved about the original — only sharper, faster, and smarter. Nintendo didn’t reinvent its hybrid console; it perfected it. From the moment you power it on, the improvements are obvious. The new 7.9-inch 1080p display is vibrant and smooth, finally bringing the visuals up to modern standards. Whether you’re battling through Zelda: Echoes of Hyrule on the big screen in 4K or relaxing with Animal Crossing in handheld mode, the screen feels crisp and alive. Performance is the other major win. Thanks to the custom Nvidia processor, games load faster and run more consistently, with fewer frame drops even in open-world titles. The upgraded Joy-Cons — now magnetic and slightly larger — feel sturdier and more ergonomic, solving one of the biggest complaints of the original Switch. Battery life isn’t revolutionary, but it’s solid. You’ll get roughly 6 to 8 hours depending on the game. The device also runs cooler, making long handheld sessions far more comfortable. Backward compatibility works seamlessly, so your old library carries forward — and many titles even receive free performance upgrades. Storage has doubled to 256 GB, which still fills up fast, but the microSD Express slot helps balance that. After a week of testing, the Switch 2 feels like a console designed for both nostalgia and the future. It’s powerful enough to handle ambitious games, yet simple enough for casual fun with family or friends. Verdict: The Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t just continue Nintendo’s legacy — it refines it beautifully. It’s the console that proves innovation doesn’t always mean change; sometimes it means perfecting what already works. Score: 9.3 / 10 — A must-buy for new and returning players alike.

The console works as intended: a much better performing gaming and portable console with inproved graphics. Might be too early to test the Joycon durability, but still performs well. Internal memory is also has better capacity, even without the SD storage extension. Battery life its among its major downside: most games drain it very fast. Also, the fact that the SD cards that support games is only of a specific type and both very pricey and often not properly available or affordable at higher capacities, it does puta it a step behind its predecessor. Not necessarily worth the bug price tag. Hence, good to have, but only if you have the funds.

... and while I am happy to have bought it, I admit that the true benefit of the upgrades are limited to a few games and far less spectacular than I hoped for. Sure, it's still a portable system and processing power relative to battery life are naturally limited. Some improvements (i.e., 4K support) require an external monitor anyway and with that to be plugged in. When on the run, the battery life is okay and not great. Nintendo sure have a hit on their hands, but it's by no means mandatory over the previous OLED version. (The larger screen is nice but makes it less portable and isn't OLED either. I do apprecciate the "true" black of the OLED which the Switch 2 doesn't have.)

Owned an original 2017 switch up until this past year when the switch 2 released and it is everything i hoped for. Screen, battery, joy cons, performance, etc. Worth an upgrade.

Wow? I could not wait to get the Switch 2 and yes it was worth the wait. Its got great graphics, its comfortable to hold and the removable controllers are so much better than the older models. Just loving it!!!

There’s been a lot of back and forth with people around the switch 2 and Nintendo. What I will say is that I love my switch 2. I love the size, the look, and the feel. What I would tell people is that it’s a great thing to have if you can buy one without putting yourself in financial stress. It’s worth it if you can throw away the money, but if it’s more than your regular budget, it might not be worth it at the time. But I do love mine and haven’t touched my switch 1 since purchase.

Nice hardware upgrade with better graphics and faster gameplay. However the battery life is not great and could be better. Joycons are improved with magnetic attach feature which is a nice upgrade as well along with a larger screen. 256gb internal storage is small and probably should have been larger. You will need to buy a SD Micro Express Card to install more games.

Controllers are way better. Screen looks great. Battery life could be a bit better. Could have used more storage

Just got my hands on the new console and wow, it's seriously a game-changer. The portability aspect is just incredible; I can take all my favorite games with me anywhere. The graphics are surprisingly sharp for something so compact. It's been so much fun exploring all the different titles available. Definitely a worthwhile investment for any gamer.

I love this unit, the screen is massive and brilliant in comparison to to v1 switch, or even the oled swtich! The joysticks are improved yet still not hall effect which is a let down, but still good. The controllers and overall ergonomics are amazing and i truly believe they nailed this design! The battery life is not anything to rave about but it does get the job done for the most part. The mouse feature on the joycons is an interesting feature, but i have not found many practical applications honestly in my day to day play time but that is subjective for sure! I rank this unit 8.9 out of 10 and would definitely recommend it for anyone!

Fun times! I like the screen is much larger, graphics easier to enjoy, and games are expanded for further enjoyment! Bought two so my teen can stop taking mine!
