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!

Switch 2 was necessary. The original switch was just too old and outdated with its 2016 tech (based on Wii U hardware).....it is a breath of fresh air to have something that finally just runs far better looking games, can offer you the likes of FF7 Remake and Resident Evil Village that run natively on the hardware and will look amazing and play great. It's a bigger screen, better controllers, a refined experience, and with all the firmware updates we've had to date, pretty much all of the original Switch 1 library is fully compatible now (with very few exceptions left that anyone would care about). Even the beloved NieR: Automata finally is compatible with the latest firmware. That being said, this is by far the most boring new console from Nintendo of all time. There's not much at all that's significantly different from the experience you got on the previous switch. It feels more like Switch Pro than Switch 2. UI looks almost exactly the same, and works the same. And I'm beyond stunned that in 2025, the only two themes Nintendo still gives you are WHITE and BLACK......what is wrong with this company...... Overall, this system is really new and although switch 2's library has grown several pages worth on the eshop.....it's still a very new console and we've yet to see the best of what it can offer. One thing I thought I would hate, but I actually love is the new Micro SD Express cards. Even though they're temporarily rather expensive, they're not unaffordable and the speed is truly that huge gigantic leap in tech you want to see in a console. The speed is like never before on switch! Switch 1's regular micro sd cards (depending on the ones you bought) slowed down your experience greatly and made loading an absolutely chore. Micro SD Express have been a thrill to experience. Most everything runs and loads very fast. That makes a huge difference and truly makes this feel like a new console. Overall.......eh.....I think it's worth getting if you're a huge fan of switch, but the last criticism is the lack of OLED screen. Something tells me Nintendo will eventually make one, but the screen's quality took a step back from the previous switch OLED. But that price will turn off a lot of people. I expected $400 or more in this day and age with Biden inflation still a reality.....but $450 being the minimum price.....ugh.....bad look for Nintendo.

Crisper and bigger screen, smooth play with no lagging, I’m enjoying the Switch 2. My only issue is with battery life…games run smoother but battery life is subpar.

I bought my Nintendo Switch at Best Buy and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The console works perfectly the screen looks beautiful, the colors are vibrant, and the whole system feels very smooth and fast. I’ve been enjoying my games so much, and the battery life has been really good too.

Great console, only bad thing is the battery life. But over all the preformance is great and the game selection is genuinely peak. Considering it’s the cheapest next gen console out rn I reccomend it!

Its the next step up for Nintendo. Great screen and performance, can't wait to see what else is to come.

It’s basically a more powerful switch which is honestly what I bought it for as the original switch was in desperate need of an upgrade. The console and joy cons have a premium feel and look to them. The kickstand is metal and supports the switch well. The new joy cons are bigger and more comfortable in the hands, and the joy sticks are much smoother to move around than the switch 1. The magnetic joy con connections are very nice as the joy cons don’t wobble when connected to the switch and they just snap in place. The screen isn’t oled, but it’s about as vivid as the oled switch. I’ve noticed the screen does have slight motion blur compared to the regular switch but it doesn’t bother me that much. The speakers are much better than switch 1. I get about 2 hours of battery life when playing Breath of the Wild switch 2 edition. I do usually have the brightness on max, but I do wish the battery life was a little longer. There aren’t too many games that make it worth buying right now, but I’ve been enjoying the quicker load times, better graphics, and more responsive menus. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.

I’m really enjoying the bigger screen and better Joycons with the switch 2. It’s a great console just wish battery life was better.

Love everything about this new switch system! Feel like it’s way better than the others and the screen is huge which I love !

Definitely faster loading time than the original switch. Screen is bigger and quality of material especially on the controllers is much better

I’m completely blown away by the Nintendo Switch 2! Everything feels faster, smoother, and more immersive. The new screen is stunning, and the battery life is way better than I expected. It’s so easy to switch between handheld and docked play — it just works perfectly. I’ve been playing nonstop since I got it, and it’s easily my favorite console ever!

Better than the switch 1 in form factor. I love how it feels easier to hold being lighter while also having a bigger screen. Works well, does what I expected it to.

I will say I bought this as a better Switch 1 and I’m fine with that. I game on everything and the only thing I touched on switch1 is Zelda botw and totk. These games on switch 2 look very clear and more detailed. When you’re just running through the woods I seem to see a lot more beetles on trees than I remember seeing before. The same for grasshoppers, hightail and hearty lizards. The clarity makes them more visible and possibly a little more distance for pop in. I was surprised that the switch 2 still has a lot of pop in and I didn’t notice much of a difference between switch 1 and 2. One way I get weapons is jump off a high place and glide down on top of a hinox and steal the weapons from around his neck. I don’t notice much of the difference with the pop in when I do this. There’s definite frame rate improvement. When fighting labels I seem to parry easier and pull the bow out quick and aim for there head quicker and more Accuracy. Timing seems to work better on parries with guardians also. The companion Nintendo app for your phone only available with switch 2 versions of the game is a game changer and I love it. So far I’ve only played the 2 Zelda’s and they each had a $10 upgrade fee to get switch 2 versions which were worth it for me.

Beautiful upgrade from the OG Switch! Absolutely love the bigger screen for handheld mode though it’s taken some getting used to. Graphics overall are crisp and solid, games run exceptionally well, a wonderful birthday gift to myself for sure! :-D

This is what a handheld video game console should be. I love that Nintendo is still letting you decide to either play on your TV or handheld. The switch 2 looks great compared to the switch 1. I'm also so happy we have true 1080p 4k HDR in a Nintendo console. The user interface is still the switch 1, but they're called classics for a reason right. We just need more switch 2 exclusive games.

Love the System we play it as a family! I have my titles I play as 30 year old that I like to take and go whenever I’m in the car! And my 3 year old plays kid games that he also loves it’s a good console!

Love the switch 2! You can definetly feel a difference in performance from the original. Only complaint is the battery life, but that was expected on launch. As long as you keep it plugged in while playing, the battery should last a good long while.

I tried so long to get my hands on this thing! The bots and scalpers held me back for too long. But after finally getting my hands on one, i can definitely say it is worth the wait and all the hype. The screen looks awesome, and the 4K 60fps and 120fps look amazing on TV mode. Already got a travel case and screen protector so im ready to take it with me everywhere lol plus all my older games run smooth as butter now. No more frame drops or lag :)

LOVE this so much. My fiance and I bought it to have something to do when we are bored. We had Nintendo switch 1 and this one the screen is bigger. Quality is great. Speed is great. Love the Mario games!

Best console ever. The screen is so big and nice. The graphics is much better then previous console
