Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Switch 2 is a huge step up from the original. The screen looks incredible, the performance is much smoother, and the new battery life is impressive. Portable and home gaming finally feel equally strong. Totally worth the upgrade.

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???

Love the updated graphics and screen. Battery life could be better. I like that switch 1 games are compatible and that I was able to transfer over my save files. I love that I can take it anywhere to play.

Did I wait for over an hour on the release day? (It wasn't that bad.) Yes. Was it worth it to see the surprise on my 14-year-old's face when they saw it the next day? Yes. Graphics are great, crisp, clear and vibrant. The increased screen size is a win. The bigger screen does not make the console feel bulky, so that is a win. The new Mario Kart game has converted my wife, who is not a video game enthusiast, into a fan. So I would call it a win. If you can get your hands on a console, do it. You will not regret it.

I'm so shocked at how good this system is. This upgrade to the Switch 1 is shaping up to be the future for on the go gaming playing AAA games. I look forward to the Switch 2's future, and especially a OLED version with a better battery!

Great system. Nintendo picked up their game and brought us something that plays smoothly, offers great screen size and unmatched playability from a handheld system. And let’s not forget its ability to connect to the big screen offering 4k quality graphics.

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.

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!

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.

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

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!

It's a very good device; the games run smoothly, it doesn't overheat, and it's comfortable to hold. The only drawback, in my opinion, is that the battery doesn't last as long as I'd like, but it performs well overall.

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.

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.

The overall size difference between this Switch 2 VS the original switch and the fact that the joycons attach and detach so many easier really is an improvement to me. The visuals also look so much better than the original and the system speed is quicker.

Makes all my games run smoothly and efficiently. Feels great to hold. Does have a weaker battery than the oled. Overall a great home console.

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.

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.

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.

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.
