Customer Ratings & Reviews

I originally have a Yellow Nintendo Switch Lite that i bought in 2020, the height of the craze. I upgrade a couple years later to the ACNH switch, whcoh was fabulous because i was able to play on the TV and not just handheld. This year I took the jump and fully upgraded to the Switch 2 and it does not disappoint. This is a wonderful and natural upgrade for the system i was already using.

Father’s Day present for my husband, ordered this during prerelease and the whole transaction went smoothly! lol. He as well has the original and the OLED model and he now has been playing the Switch 2 for a few days and loves it as well. He’s mentioned that the controllers smoothly attach to the screen thing and it feels sturdier than the previous models. The screen is bigger and clearer which is a plus for him since he’s both near and far sided lol all in all he loves the new model. I’m not a gamer but it definitely seems like an upgrade from the previous version with the sturdy handle of the controllers to the screen bit

Excellent graphics, Larger screen. Good stuff. Highly recommend

Amazing system !!!! The graphics are amazing and love the bigger screen that looks amazing !!!! This is a must have !!!!!

A good successor to the switch. The controllers feel more study and attach more securely than on the original. And so far no joy stick drift. The only real cons to a switch seem to have been remedied! After a couple months of moderate use, it holds up extremely well. The graphics are better than the original and so is the speed and battery life. The motion to only charge to 90% is great to extend the battery life. It’s a bigger screen so using it handheld is even nicer. It’s a good size for handheld too; if it were much bigger it would be too big but this is a good balance of portability, weight, and usability. The only con is needing really new, expensive SD cards to expand storage so options are limited and they are pricey. As the price comes down though that should improve.

Powerful system, screen looks almost as good as oled model. Improves frame rate of many switch 1 games. Mouse mode works surprisingly well. Although switch 1 and switch oled do not function in switch 2 dock. And virtual game cards are a little annoying if you have 2 consoles.

The Nintendo Switch 2 completely blew me away. From the moment I powered it on, I was transported back to the magic I felt playing my first console as a kid. The improved graphics and smooth performance are incredible, but it’s the joy of gaming on this system that really stands out. Whether I’m curled up on the couch or playing on the go, it reminds me why I fell in love with gaming in the first place. The nostalgia mixed with modern innovation makes this console an absolute must-have.

So far a great successor to the Switch. Set up, including the transfer of necessary files from the original switch was easy. We bought Mario Kart World with it and just added the new DK Bananza. Both have been a blast to play. This system is much quicker and game play is much smoother. With the addition of HDR, it really brings out the colors in the games. If you are a Nintendo game player, this is a must add to your console collection.

Bigger screen, easier to handle and the games run faster.

We recently upgraded to the Nintendo Switch 2, and it’s been a total hit in our house! The new graphics and faster load times make everything feel smoother, and the improved battery life is a big plus for road trips. My 5-year-old absolutely loves playing Madden 26 on it — the controls are simple enough for him to pick up, but the gameplay still keeps me entertained too. The flexibility of switching from handheld to docked mode means we can go from playing together on the big screen to taking it on the go in seconds. The build quality feels sturdy, the screen is crisp and bright, and the overall experience is super family-friendly. If you’re on the fence about upgrading, it’s absolutely worth it. The Nintendo Switch 2 delivers the perfect balance of fun, performance, and portability.

Everything about SW2 is better! Glad I have one. Graphics, better. Processing, better. Smooth sailing for me. Just updated my SW2 to 1tb and WOW WOW WOW! Go with LEXAR for memory!

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’ve been using the Nintendo Switch 2 for just over a month, As someone who’s spent years with the original Switch, I came in hopeful but skeptical. Would it really be that different? Turns out, yes... but in subtle, smart ways that grow on you the more you play. First Impressions & Ergonomics Right out of the box, the Switch 2 feels more refined. It’s noticeably sturdier, a bit heavier, but surprisingly comfortable. The redesigned Joy-Cons magnetically snap in place with a satisfying click, and the improved grip and larger SL/SR buttons make a difference. I’ve been able to voice chat and even video call with friends mid-game The console’s larger 7.9-inch LCD screen looks fantastic. It’s not OLED, but it makes up for that with HDR10 support, 120Hz refresh rate, and Variable Refresh Rate. Games look sharper, brighter, and more fluid in handheld mode than ever before. There is some minor motion ghosting during fast action sequences, noticeable in racing game, but overall, it’s a much-needed upgrade. Performance & Display The biggest change, though, is under the hood. Nintendo’s partnership with NVIDIA for this new custom chipset is a game-changer. Handheld mode now hits 1080p and 120 fps, while docked mode can output 4K at 60 fps, sometimes with ray tracing and DLSS support. I played through parts of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom again just to experience how much smoother and crisper everything feels. Load times are faster, gameplay is smoother, and even older games get a facelift. Storage isn’t an issue anymore either. With 256GB internal storage and support for microSD Express up to 2TB, I haven’t even worried about deleting old games or juggling downloads like I used to. It plays nearly every Switch 1 game, which is great because I have a big library and didn't want to start from scratch. Connectivity & Features Connectivity on this thing is top-tier. It’s got Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, dual USB-C ports, and the dock now includes Gigabit Ethernet and HDMI 2.1 perfect for pairing with a modern TV. Game downloads, updates, and cloud syncing are quicker and smoother. The new features like GameShare and mouse-mode Joy-Cons are cool bonuses, though I’ve only scratched the surface with them. The GameChat system is surprisingly well-integrated, and while I never thought I’d video chat on a Nintendo console. it works, and it’s kind of charming. The Not-So-Great Stuff But no console is perfect, and the Switch 2 has its flaws. The biggest downside for me is battery life. It’s pretty underwhelming, around 3 to 4 hours on more demanding games, which is shorter than I expected, especially considering how much more power-efficient tech has become. If you’re planning to take it on long trips, you’ll definitely want a power bank handy. Then there’s the elephant in the room: Joy-Con drift may still be an issue. Nintendo didn’t go with Hall-effect sticks, meaning these still use traditional potentiometers. So yes, drift is still a possibility, and for some people that’s a dealbreaker. Also, while the screen looks great, it’s still LCD. If you’re coming from the OLED model, the black levels and contrast might feel like a step back. I personally didn’t mind it too much—the brightness and color sharpness mostly made up for it. Finally, the launch lineup felt a little thin. Mario Kart World was fun, but I’m looking forward to the meatier exclusives later this year. Nintendo seems to be spacing them out to keep players engaged month-by-month, which is smart but it also means a slow start if you're looking for brand-new games right now. Final Thoughts Overall, the Switch 2 doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it refines nearly everything I loved about the original in meaningful ways. The performance leap is real. The sharper screen, stronger hardware, faster load times, and smoother gameplay add up to a console that feels like a mature, confident next step. Sure, I wish the battery lasted longer and that Joy-Con drift was a thing of the past. But these are minor frustrations in what’s otherwise a stellar handheld-console hybrid. Rating: 4 out of 5. Would I recommend it? Absolutely—especially if your original Switch is showing its age or if you’re ready to jump into Nintendo’s world for the first time. Just be ready to invest in a power bank and maybe a new pair of Joy-Cons down the line.

It’s an upgrade from my original switch. It’s nice and slick and has a big screen. I love how you can share games with your family members, it has the video chat.

My son loves it and now my other son wants one too!! Only downfall is only certain storage card allowed but worth it.

I know people love to hate this console but I absolutely love it. So far i have played all the way through Hogwarts and have been playing a lot of BOTW on it. Both game have been greatly improved. The load times alone make it worth it. Love the companion app on my phone. I look forward to what they do with that and other games. If you loved the original switch then you will love this one also. Definitely worrh the price. Don’t listen to the haters.

Best gaming system Nintendo has ever put out - better feel of controller, better size, backwards compatibility

Fantastic console. Backwards compatible with the switch games. Definitely worth it if you don't own a Switch

Cool, works smooth. Bigger than past model. All political switch games carried over, easier to use.

I am enjoying this new device. I love playing Pokémon games on it. The graphics are great. The screen size is amazing. Easy to use. I have no complaints.
