Customer Ratings & Reviews

From the moment I took it out of the box, I was immediately impressed with the quality and feel of this system over its predecessor. The biggest single improvement is the Joy-Con 2. It’s much more comfortable, premium, and doesn’t look like a toy like the original. The screen is also massively better at full HD. Having owned the console for several months now, I would have liked to see free performance updates for tentpole Switch titles such as SUPER MARIO BROS. WONDER. WONDER runs at 720p in handheld mode and is borderline unplayable in its current state. I really hope there is a free patch to fix this, but I fear that better performance will be locked behind the paid update next year, as is the case with THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD, and its sequel, TEARS OF THE KINDGOM. In the later’s case, subscribers of the NSO + EXPANSION PACK can download the update for free. One might argue that it’s unfair to expect Nintendo to patch previous-gen titles for their new system, but I’m sure most would agree that Switch 2 owners would prefer not to carry around two devices, and given that Nintendo announced backwards compatibility as an incentive to upgrade, it would be courteous of them to patch classic Switch titles at a time when the Switch 2 is severely lacking in exclusive next-gen software. I have logged 80 hours and 60 hours into MARIO KART WORLD and DONKEY KONG BANANZA, respectively. For major first-party exclusive content for Switch 2, all we have for the remainder of 2024 is KIRBY AIR RIDERS and HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. I mostly play in docked mode, and lately if I play my Switch 2 at all, it is for SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE, and SPLATOON 3. I will credit Nintendo for improving on SPLATOON 3 and SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY performance very quickly and without charge. For all its faults, the Nintendo Switch 2 is an excellent successor to the original Nintendo Switch in its hardware capabilities. I strongly feel that it will become a worthy successor once it has had time to grow its exclusive library. In the meantime, I would advise reluctant shoppers to wait. Titles such as METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND and POKÉMON LEGENDS: Z-A will have Switch 2 patches available for the original Switch versions, so there’s no rush for consumers interested in those titles specifically.

I was on the fence about the Switch 2 but once I had it in my hand I knew it was well worth the money spent. First hand, the screen is MASSIVE. Not only that, the resolution is just as great. This console itself feels premium and its all black look in my opinion gives its a sleek look. Worth getting it.

No surprises here; Switch 2 is the one to get for all your Nintendo needs. And while I've only played the Zelda games on it so far, it has already proven itself for me in how well they run compared to the original Switch. The games in general are smaller, so the storage included is plenty. Only issue for me is that the left joycon's ZL button took too much pressure to activate, but Nintendo is repairing that for free. Also, the Switch 2 can use Switch 1 controllers, so I'm not missing anything in the meanwhile. Not much else to say; it's great and I bought it for Duskbloods so that needs to hurry up and release!

Love the system! Its bigger than the nitendo switch 1 and it runs faster too.

Experience the future of portable gaming with the Nintendo Switch 2. Featuring upgraded performance, enhanced visuals, and seamless docking capabilities, it delivers console-quality experiences both on the go and at home. Perfect for solo adventures or multiplayer fun.

Great little handheld game but a bit large for my hands. The dock and controller connection quickly converts this into a table to console. Using it with a 27 inch 4K monitor so everything jumps off the screen. I’ll admit that I’m one to watch television and play games at once. The set up is perfect to play and watch television just to the right. The only issue I have is that this one no longer comes with a browser nor does it have or allow for streaming content to be downloaded. Someone has to keep me quiet in the car.

This was a birthday gift for my 6 year old grandson. The screen is large enough for him. He loves it, able to watch YouTube and ply his games. Not sure of the battery life he keeps it plugged up. Only thing missing is RolBlox.

The new switch 2 is nice. Graphics was smooth, the screen is larges than last gen switch overall a nice upgrade

Look. I was a day 1 naysayer. I adamantly opposed the S2 with Nintendo’s odd business practice. I went so far as to buy a ROG Ally Z1e and modded it. Sold it and bought the ROG Ally X. Modded it and sold it. Bought a Lenovo Legion Go S and returned it. Their issue? LOUD even at lower fan speeds. Powerful and very capable devices, but they missed the one thing that makes the OG Switch a marvel. It runs dead silent. The S2 miraculously runs dead silent while playing Hogwarts Legacy for hours in handheld mode. Barely gets hot. The fit and finish along with just the very consistent operation keeps me coming back daily since purchase a month in. I have a PS Portal to fill the other gaps left by the portable PCs. Is it perfect? No. Does it absolutely work every single time without issue? YES. Can I now play with my family without having to do any finagling? YES. I’m a Switch 2 convert. It just works and it works well.

I have really enjoyed my time with this console so far. I've had it for several months and it is exactly what it presents itself to be, a switch with far better performance and capabilities. I have especially loved the exclusive games for it, they are beautiful and come packed with that nintendo charm.

Lightning-fast load times, stunning graphics, and smoother performance make every game shine. The improved battery life and display are huge upgrades. A must-have for new and returning fans alike! Nintendo nailed it again.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has exceeded my expectations. The upgraded graphics and smoother performance make a noticeable difference, and I love the improved battery life and enhanced screen. It still delivers that perfect blend of handheld and docked gameplay, now with even more polish. A fantastic evolution of an already great console!

Love it! Big screen bright colors. Runs games really smooth, even older titles

Compared to the 2 switch lites and our switch oled this has been a fantastic upgrade! We love the higher resolution with much longer battery life and when taking it on the go the bigger screen and joycons are super nice. It feels much more solid and sturdy compared to the oled. The joy cons dont wiggle and creek anymore. We are going to buy another very soon.

I love love love it!! I originally had the Nintendo switch oled & this is a lot bigger and faster then the oled. Only thing I could say is the battery life. Itll last a few hours but it does die quickly, or at least faster then other consoles. Oh also SOMETIMES the controller can be a little dumb sometimes and have a drift

Really loving the Switch 2 so far. The games can be quite expensive, but if you already have a Switch library built up, it's a wonderful little upgrade. Despite the admittedly high price tag and the lack of more first party games as of now, I've enjoyed my time with the console a lot.

Came quickly and in perfect condition. The console runs amazing and is even bigger then I thought. Almost covers my entire 100% keyboard.

I really like it, big screen, work very great and very smooth!!!

Definitely better than the original switch OLED. The screen on this is absolutely gorgeous it has higher quality on the main screen and also on the big screen 4K resolution is amazing. No lagging run smooth so much faster.

I’ve been having a great time with this new system. I also own the Switch OLED and the bigger screen on the Switch 2 has caused me to use it more for mobile play. I love the fact that my old collection of switch games still work with this new system so I can continue to work on my backlog and the ability to also access the new Gamecube selection of games through Nintendo Switch Online has my wife very happy as well. No complaints about the system so far after owning it for a month now and I see this as a great step forward. I am looking forward to the new Switch 2 exclusives that will be releasing in the near future. I hope they end up releasing new controller colors soon as well.
