Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch 2 is a wonderful console! I previously played on a Switch Lite and upgraded to this console. The graphics and load times are incredible in comparison. I play mostly cozy games and Pokemon. I haven’t had any wait time between scenes or entering/exiting buildings. This console is well worth it.

The switch 2 is the best upgrade I’ve ever gotten. Bigger screen, more battery life, and better feel. This console is most definitely worth the money and I would buy it again

Battery life is not great. Less than 2 hours of gameplay. Battery drains significantly fast while on sleep mode or not in use. But overall performance is a huge improvement than the first version.

I really like the Switch 2 console, great graphicss, games are amazing. My joy con 2 controllers last up to 25 hours (without HD rumble). The cons: The $450 price tag is a little expensive. The Game Key cards are not what consumers want, I am avoiding them at all costs.

Great upgrade to the switch! The graphics are better, the screen is bigger, and the magnetic joycons are great!!

Great system upgrade from original Switch. The screen quality is noticeably better than first gen and appreciably larger. Old Switch games seem to get a bit of improvement and play very smoothly which is a nice plus. Very easy data transfer between NS and NS2, as well. 10/10

This is a really great upgrade. Larger screen and faster, I really like the new way the controllers connect to the main unit.

Fantastic console, much more comfortable to use than the original Switch. Great screen and much better Joycons and screen. Only gripe is it could have better battery life but I don't use it enough personally out and about to have that be as big of a problem for me

I just want to say huge props to Best Buy for how smooth and organized the Nintendo Switch 2 preorder process was. I’ve been through some chaotic console launches before, but this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Yes, I had to wait on the app a bit for the queue to open and process my payment—but once it did, everything went through without a hitch. The system didn’t crash, my order was confirmed fast, and it honestly felt like Best Buy really planned ahead for this launch. The only downside? I was really hoping to get the exclusive Best Buy coin that came with some early orders. It was a bummer missing out, especially after preordering on day one. That would’ve been such a cool collectible to go with my Switch 2. If by any chance Best Buy still has more of those coins, I’d love to get one right away—it would make an already great preorder experience even better. Still, hats off to Best Buy. This is how console launches should be handled. Can’t wait to unbox the Switch 2!

The Switch 2 is a much needed hardware upgrade from the last gen. I love that I can play my old switch 1 games on this console with improved graphics and load times. That alone was worth it for me. Look forwarding to playing Switch 1 and 2 games

It's the second Switch, it's way better. Switch 1 is unplayable now, and I had the OLED. It's worth it in every way, even if you're just browsing the store. Games run better, the upgrades are worthwhile- very obvious for BOTW and TOTK and any other first party game for sure. The system is not particularly comfortable without the rubber protector/grip I got, and the lack of Youtube/Hulu app access on it is unfortunate. It still works on Switch 1, so it's annoying. Also, third-party support is lacking and concerning going into the future; 30 fps on Skyrim Switch 2 version is wild, Hogwarts upgrade still at 30 fps, Elden Ring delayed and nearly unplayable at the demos. Not a good look for a new console. But I am stoked I have it and I look forward to the inevitable Ocarina of Time remake and I would never go back to the S1.

I like this console, it really has many improvements and is more powerful, I also like its large screen and the new mouse functionality

Purchased as a gift for my boyfriend. He loves it. The performance is a major improvement over the original Switch. The display is a clear quality, stable FPS, better resolution, and when he plays Fortnite it’s just as smooth as playing on an Xbox or PlayStation. The system also stays cool and quiet with no noticeable fan noise. The price tag is steep for a Nintendo console, but other than that it’s a well designed console and I feel good about the purchase. The new magnetized joycons are also a much better design choice.

The Nintendo Switch is a fantastic addition to our home and has quickly become a family favorite. Although I have traditionally stuck with PlayStation consoles, this is my first foray into handheld gaming, and the transition has been seamless. While I still primarily use it docked to the TV for the big-screen experience, the library of family-friendly titles is where this system really shines. It offers a great variety of games that everyone can enjoy together, making it the perfect choice for a household looking for shared entertainment.

Decided to do a major upgrade from my switch lite to the switch 2 and it was definitely worth it. It is almost a completely new experience going from such a compact system to this bigger one. Being able to play with others on the same device really brings me back to my GameCube days. I had read about the battery life being a bad thing but for someone who works the night shift and plays games to relax after work, it is kinda like a built in timer to go to bed. I can see it being a problem if you're playing it for a long trip but even then it forces you to step away from the digital world and do something else for a bit while it charges.

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.

I love my Nintendo Switch 2. I purchased the expansion pack so I have all my favorite games from all the previous Nintendo consoles. Graphics are great. Super happy.

One of the best consoles of the new generation yet, the amount of games that they had at launch was amazing and it's been nothing but a dream to be able to take it with you and play on the go with the quality of a Playstation console and the capability of playing modern titles, I've played Cyberpunk 2077, Donkey Kong Bananza, Metroid Prime 4, and Resident Evil 9 Requiem as part of the modern titles and games one would consider demanding for a console that's protable, and it still delivers a wonderful experience, over 3 to 4 hours of battery life and even more if you buy a power bank, I love that this console is made for all audiences.

Truly, the next generation of gaming handheld and thank you to Best Buy for keeping such a good amount of stock on release day knowing the popularity behind this device, the Nintendo switch two will be around for a very long time and I intend to enjoy every year of it.

So far had a lot of fun with the switch 2. I enjoy the bigger size, it does not make my hands go numb when using it for long periods in hand held mode. Battery life isnt the best but is still decent. Cant wait for more games to come out that take advantage of the newer features like the mouse mode for the joy cons.
