    Switch But Better

    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!

    Huge upgrade from original Switch!

    I had been wanting one of these for quite some time and was reluctant to purchase one and upgrade my Gen 2 Switch because of the price, and I had also watched a few YouTube videos about all the pros and cons. But honestly I decided that the cons didn’t seem all that bad and didn’t affect me anyways. I cancelled a few streaming services and put the purchase on my Best Buy card to pay for it over the next 12 months so I could justify buying it and I gotta say that this thing is a massive upgrade from the original switch. It feels so much more quality built in my hands. The display and graphics are beautiful. The sound quality and volume is fantastic in handheld mode. The one downside is that the battery life doesn’t last as long as I thought it might, but it still gets a solid 4 hours of gameplay with sound and brightness up. All-in-all I love this thing and have been having a blast playing Tears of The Kingdom (Switch 2 Edition)

    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.

    Naysayer Converted!

    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.

    As Awesome As I Hoped

    I've been LOVING Switch 2 so far. Much better build quality over the Switch 1, really liking that aspect a lot here. Really nice performance even in handheld for all kinds of great games like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, No Man's Sky, Subnautica, etc. Very pleasantly surprised. Was thinking it would've ended up being underpowered but I'm perfectly satisfied. Display looks great to me. It's a huge system tho, hanging out playing it in handheld can be uncomfortable due to the weight and size making it hard to keep a good grip in certain positions for me but a lot of people seem to be totally chill with it. I ended up getting a Dbrand Killswitch 2 for it so it felt more comfy for handheld and now this thing has my other systems collecting dust. If you're on the fence, that's understandable cuz I was too. But it's worth it!

    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.

    I recently bought the Nintendo Switch 2, Upgrading from the first Nintendo Switch is a huge difference. The graphics are noticeably better, everything runs smoother, and the overall performance just feels faster. Games load quicker and look way more polished compared to the original Switch. Even navigating the menus feels more responsive. Best Buy made the whole process easy too. The store had it in stock, checkout was quick, and the staff were helpful without being pushy. If you’re debating upgrading because of the price, honestly don’t even bother stressing about it it’s 100% worth it. The improvements are obvious right away and it feels like a true next-gen upgrade. Overall, the Switch 2 is a massive improvement over the original and I’m really glad I bought it

    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!

    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

    Worthwhile If You Have Prior Switch Games

    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.

    Enjoying the Switch 2 after 1 month Owning it

    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.
