Customer Ratings & Reviews

... and while I am happy to have bought it, I admit that the true benefit of the upgrades are limited to a few games and far less spectacular than I hoped for. Sure, it's still a portable system and processing power relative to battery life are naturally limited. Some improvements (i.e., 4K support) require an external monitor anyway and with that to be plugged in. When on the run, the battery life is okay and not great. Nintendo sure have a hit on their hands, but it's by no means mandatory over the previous OLED version. (The larger screen is nice but makes it less portable and isn't OLED either. I do apprecciate the "true" black of the OLED which the Switch 2 doesn't have.)

Wow? I could not wait to get the Switch 2 and yes it was worth the wait. Its got great graphics, its comfortable to hold and the removable controllers are so much better than the older models. Just loving it!!!

Owned an original 2017 switch up until this past year when the switch 2 released and it is everything i hoped for. Screen, battery, joy cons, performance, etc. Worth an upgrade.

Nice hardware upgrade with better graphics and faster gameplay. However the battery life is not great and could be better. Joycons are improved with magnetic attach feature which is a nice upgrade as well along with a larger screen. 256gb internal storage is small and probably should have been larger. You will need to buy a SD Micro Express Card to install more games.

There’s been a lot of back and forth with people around the switch 2 and Nintendo. What I will say is that I love my switch 2. I love the size, the look, and the feel. What I would tell people is that it’s a great thing to have if you can buy one without putting yourself in financial stress. It’s worth it if you can throw away the money, but if it’s more than your regular budget, it might not be worth it at the time. But I do love mine and haven’t touched my switch 1 since purchase.

A great console overall. The battery life could be better, but if you play with the system while docked, then it’s not that bad. I upgraded from the OLED model and the graphics are insane. The console is larger that previous models, so you’ll have to adjust to it at first. Definitely worth the buy.

Controllers are way better. Screen looks great. Battery life could be a bit better. Could have used more storage

Just got my hands on the new console and wow, it's seriously a game-changer. The portability aspect is just incredible; I can take all my favorite games with me anywhere. The graphics are surprisingly sharp for something so compact. It's been so much fun exploring all the different titles available. Definitely a worthwhile investment for any gamer.

I love this unit, the screen is massive and brilliant in comparison to to v1 switch, or even the oled swtich! The joysticks are improved yet still not hall effect which is a let down, but still good. The controllers and overall ergonomics are amazing and i truly believe they nailed this design! The battery life is not anything to rave about but it does get the job done for the most part. The mouse feature on the joycons is an interesting feature, but i have not found many practical applications honestly in my day to day play time but that is subjective for sure! I rank this unit 8.9 out of 10 and would definitely recommend it for anyone!

Great console, my kiddos enjoy playing for hours in a week. I highly suggest Mario Cart and Pokemon to keep the kids playing and discovering the open worlds in both games. I would also suggest play online with other players. To see how great they are against other players around the world. Great product and offers a lot for such a small console.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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
