Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great performance and sleek design. I enjoy mine. Non OLED screen is easier on the eyes as well. Fun for Animal Crossing and Zelda and they are adding many more games in the future.

Bigger and more powerful thoughtful design to fix problems people had with the original switch like the kickstand and having charge ports on top and bottom of the console the battery life does feel rather short in handheld mode but overall its a worth upgrade in my opinion and some games even get free performance updates like Pokémon scarlet and violet that make playing them on the switch 2 the way to go

I love to bigger screen and the magnetic controllers. Wish the battery life last the same as the Nintendo switch oled or longer. But otherwise great product

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 love the size and the performance it packs for its slim design. If you have a Switch games library there is very little reason to not pick this up. Games are backwards compatible and run better. Also docking to the tv is simple and looks great. The one thing that falls a little short is battery life for newer titles. I wouldnt mind Nintendo adding a ‘battery mode’ that reduces power and allows games to run at a lower performance to increase battery life. Other than that I’d recommend this to anyone!

Overall, this is a great device. It feels powerful and handles the newest games really well, which is a big plus. Being able to play the latest titles smoothly is definitely the main reason to upgrade. That said, it’s a little too big for my hands. I actually preferred the OLED model because of the screen, battery life, and smaller form factor. It just felt more comfortable to hold for longer sessions. I was also really excited about some of the new features, especially GameShare. It’s a great idea and has a lot of potential. However, not all of the games I want to play with others are compatible yet. I’m hoping more titles become GameShare-supported in the future. Overall, it’s a strong system with great performance and exciting features, but I still appreciate the comfort and battery life of the OLED model.

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.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a remarkable leap forward from its predecessor, setting a new benchmark for hybrid gaming consoles. One of the most noticeable upgrades is the overall system functionality. From boot-up to gameplay, the interface operates with impressive smoothness and responsiveness. Menus load faster, transitions are seamless, and games benefit from significantly reduced load times, creating a more fluid and immersive user experience. The Switch 2 feels far more optimized and modern than the original Nintendo Switch. Another standout feature is the stunning new display. The larger screen size enhances visibility and transforms how games are experienced on the go. Colors are richer, and the higher resolution makes visuals pop with greater clarity and detail. This isn’t just an incremental update — the bigger screen makes the Switch 2 feel like an entirely new console, elevating handheld gaming to a premium level. The redesigned Joy-Cons are also worth praising. Ergonomically improved, they offer a more comfortable grip and enhanced button responsiveness. Whether playing solo or sharing with a friend, the Joy-Cons feel more intuitive and reliable. Nintendo has listened to user feedback and refined the design to deliver a more satisfying gameplay experience. Overall, the Nintendo Switch 2 is a significant success. With smoother performance, a significantly enhanced display, and much-improved Joy-Cons, it’s a must-have upgrade for longtime fans and new players.

Premium feel, love the big screen, Switch 2 games are a nice step up, and it plays all my Switch 1 games great. Battery life is a bit underwhelming though.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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???

This product exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent and it works perfectly. The setup was simple and the experience is very enjoyable. The design is modern and the performance is smooth. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something reliable and fun. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase.

Bigger, Blacker, and necessary if you want to play any of the new games. Which we did. There are no great changes except the screen is bigger and the default controllers are black. It feels more like enough time has passed since the original came out and someone at Nintendo wanted a yacht. If you’re looking for reviews on if the Switch 2 is worth it there are some great deep dives a quick Google search away. If you want one and can afford it, just buy it, you’re going to anyway.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the rare sequel that actually feels like it respects your time, your eyes, and your existing game library—all at once. From the moment I powered it on, the upgrade over the original Switch was obvious. The 7.9" 1080p HDR screen is bright, crisp, and big enough that feels like a true “main” way to play, not a compromise for when you’re away from the TV. Colors pop, fine details in games are suddenly visible, and text is comfortably readable without squinting. Docking to the 4K TV makes it feel like an entirely new era for Nintendo, not just another refresh. Nintendo nailed the hardware details. Controllers slide on magnetically with a satisfying click, feel more solid in the hand. What really makes this system shine is how load times and frame rates are dramatically better than the original Switch. At the same time, it still plays compatible physical and digital Switch games, and some of those even get upgrade packs or performance bumps, so your existing library doesn’t become obsolete—it actually feels refreshed. Exclusives like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza would show off what the new hardware can do, and it’s exciting to know this is just the starting point for the generation. In short, Nintendo Switch 2 is exactly what I hoped for: a true next‑step Switch that keeps everything I loved about the original while making it faster, sharper, and more fun to share with others. If you’ve spent years with the first Switch, this feels like seeing your favorite worlds again with new eyes—and if you’re jumping in for the first time, there’s no better way to experience Nintendo’s games today.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a definite upgrade over its predecessor. With the larger 1080p screen, the larger joy cons that magnetically attach to the console itself, the better graphics, and faster load times, it's truly a joy to play. And the original Switch games even perform and look better. For instance, Smash Bros Ultimate has much faster load times. Totally recommend the upgrade if you can afford it!

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

Yes i love this game system but if im being honest it feels like nintendo settled the switch 2 has a slight bump in graphical ability thats great but its nothing exciting you buy this because like me you grew up with nintendo and you want those nintendo games i feel the price increase is almost highway robbery for what it offers the joycons still feel small the screen is not amazing it should've been oled and lastly your stuck playing only games nintendo approves i wouldnt recommend this as your only system get a ps5 or build a pc THEN you can enjoy the switch 2 for what it offers nintendo games are awesome its not worth it to try to pirate switch games just buy the system their meant to be on
