Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently purchased a Nintendo Switch from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. The buying process was smooth and easy, and the staff was helpful when I had questions about the different bundles and accessories. As for the console itself, the Nintendo Switch is absolutely amazing. I love how versatile it is—you can play it on the TV for a full gaming experience or take it on the go in handheld mode. The graphics are great, and the gameplay is smooth across all the games I’ve tried so far. One of my favorite things is how fun it is to play with friends and family. The Joy-Cons make it easy to jump into multiplayer games anywhere, anytime. Battery life is solid, and the setup was quick and simple. Overall, I highly recommend the Nintendo Switch, especially if you’re looking for a console that offers both portability and high-quality gaming. Great product and great service from Best Buy!

From the moment I took it out of the box, I was immediately impressed with the quality and feel of this system over its predecessor. The biggest single improvement is the Joy-Con 2. It’s much more comfortable, premium, and doesn’t look like a toy like the original. The screen is also massively better at full HD. Having owned the console for several months now, I would have liked to see free performance updates for tentpole Switch titles such as SUPER MARIO BROS. WONDER. WONDER runs at 720p in handheld mode and is borderline unplayable in its current state. I really hope there is a free patch to fix this, but I fear that better performance will be locked behind the paid update next year, as is the case with THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD, and its sequel, TEARS OF THE KINDGOM. In the later’s case, subscribers of the NSO + EXPANSION PACK can download the update for free. One might argue that it’s unfair to expect Nintendo to patch previous-gen titles for their new system, but I’m sure most would agree that Switch 2 owners would prefer not to carry around two devices, and given that Nintendo announced backwards compatibility as an incentive to upgrade, it would be courteous of them to patch classic Switch titles at a time when the Switch 2 is severely lacking in exclusive next-gen software. I have logged 80 hours and 60 hours into MARIO KART WORLD and DONKEY KONG BANANZA, respectively. For major first-party exclusive content for Switch 2, all we have for the remainder of 2024 is KIRBY AIR RIDERS and HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. I mostly play in docked mode, and lately if I play my Switch 2 at all, it is for SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE, and SPLATOON 3. I will credit Nintendo for improving on SPLATOON 3 and SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY performance very quickly and without charge. For all its faults, the Nintendo Switch 2 is an excellent successor to the original Nintendo Switch in its hardware capabilities. I strongly feel that it will become a worthy successor once it has had time to grow its exclusive library. In the meantime, I would advise reluctant shoppers to wait. Titles such as METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND and POKÉMON LEGENDS: Z-A will have Switch 2 patches available for the original Switch versions, so there’s no rush for consumers interested in those titles specifically.

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!

Experience the future of portable gaming with the Nintendo Switch 2. Featuring upgraded performance, enhanced visuals, and seamless docking capabilities, it delivers console-quality experiences both on the go and at home. Perfect for solo adventures or multiplayer fun.

I was on the fence about the Switch 2 but once I had it in my hand I knew it was well worth the money spent. First hand, the screen is MASSIVE. Not only that, the resolution is just as great. This console itself feels premium and its all black look in my opinion gives its a sleek look. Worth getting it.

Love the system! Its bigger than the nitendo switch 1 and it runs faster too.

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.

The new switch 2 is nice. Graphics was smooth, the screen is larges than last gen switch overall a nice upgrade

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.

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.

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!

Lightning-fast load times, stunning graphics, and smoother performance make every game shine. The improved battery life and display are huge upgrades. A must-have for new and returning fans alike! Nintendo nailed it again.

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

Love it! Big screen bright colors. Runs games really smooth, even older titles

I love my switch 2. The games look better and it overall feels better playing handheld. My only grip with the product is the battery life but I haven’t had too many issues with it especially with the new charging port ontop of the switch makes playing handheld while charging 100x more enjoyable

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 have had a switch since it first came out 8 years ago. The original switch cannot compare to switch 2 but the differences in screen between the oled and this are not as big of an upgrade. Everything loads much faster and the joycons feel good. I have larger palms but it still feels light and comfortable to hold. I am looking forawrd to trying the mouse controls with metroid. It has that great nintendo charm, i just wish there was a little more or a newer home screen experience.

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.

Honestly I think the Switch 2 is worth it. Having the additional charging port on the top, the bigger screen and the magnetic controllers all make my overall experience so much better.
