Fantastic console, much more comfortable to use than the original Switch. Great screen and much better Joycons and screen. Only gripe is it could have better battery life but I don't use it enough personally out and about to have that be as big of a problem for me

Great system upgrade from original Switch. The screen quality is noticeably better than first gen and appreciably larger. Old Switch games seem to get a bit of improvement and play very smoothly which is a nice plus. Very easy data transfer between NS and NS2, as well. 10/10

It is great. Newer tech inside the switch 2 helps with performance. Old games run relatively better. I'm excited for the new games coming out. Hopefully this system will last a while as the original.

It’s a Nintendo Switch with better performance, a bigger screen, a better kickstand, a better Joy-Con mechanism, 4K HDR docked support, and some neat additional features I haven’t tried yet. I’ve really appreciated the upgraded performance and graphics on many original Switch games, in particular, Pokémon Scarlet and Echoes of Wisdom, two games I avoided or stopped playing on the original due to performance. Also hoping more games support GameShare, really nice if you also still have an original Switch for some games. But also, Mario Kart World is a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to playing Donkey Kong Bananza. With that said, I think this system might be slightly less kid friendly as a handheld portable console than the original and Lite just due to its size and weight, but the bigger Joy-Cons I think are a better improvement for everyone.

If you loved the original Nintendo Switch, congratulations—you already love the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s basically the Switch that went to the gym, upgraded its glasses, and decided it didn’t want to be mistaken for a toy anymore. The resolution is sharper, the frame rates are smoother, and everything loads faster—so your character now falls off cliffs in beautifully crisp detail. The Joy-Cons are larger and more comfortable, meaning your adult hands no longer feel like they’re borrowing controls from a Happy Meal. Design-wise, the Switch 2 feels more grown-up. It still knows how to have fun, but now it pays bills and owns matching furniture. It’s clearly built with adults in mind, while still being perfectly capable of entertaining kids, parents, grandparents, and that one family member who “doesn’t play games” but somehow wins every round. In short: the Switch 2 doesn’t reinvent the wheel—it just makes it faster, smoother, and way nicer to hold. If the original Switch was for your kids, the Switch 2 is for everyone. And yes, you’re absolutely justified in buying it “for the family.”

The Switch 2 switched my perspective for the future by building on everything the original Switch did right while finally pushing past its limitations. The first Switch was honestly a game-changer—being able to play full console games on the go was huge, and it brought some of the best gaming experiences of the last decade. But it always felt like it was reaching its limit, with occasional performance dips, long load times, and hardware that couldn’t quite keep up with more demanding titles. The Switch 2 keeps that same magic but adds the power and polish the original was missing. Games run smoother, look better, and the whole system feels more responsive and future-ready. It doesn’t just continue what the Switch started—it levels it up in a way that makes me excited for where gaming is headed.

I recently got my hands on the Nintendo Switch 2, and I have to say—it’s a phenomenal upgrade from the original. From the moment I turned it on, the screen clarity immediately impressed me. The OLED-style display (or whatever the Switch 2 uses) makes games look sharper and more vibrant, bringing a whole new level of immersion whether I’m playing in handheld or docked mode.

Im loving it! I love playing my games for the first time in 4k! finally! Yeah baby! Hells yeah! The joy cons have been great to! I personally haven't really seen drift thing. But the way the feel in my hand is way more well it's like to legit to quit. Compared to old joy cons. These just seem more natural. I love the way they go into switch when it's already on doc. I love how the switch 2 added a function that doesn't let it charge past a certain point because that helps extend battery life. I also kinda dig the fast drain of battery because if you have back pain problems you shouldn't game that long of a session at once. So yeah I kinda dig it. However just like the original switch it is disappointing that the joy cons can't be charged while separated that its the same so super mega disappoinment after all these waiting for next Nintendo system it still can't be charged unless you connect them that's unfathomably unimaginably extremely profundly stupid beyond compare. When you put them onto the little black accessorie on that at very least should be able to charge the joy cons. I have also felt massive heat on the switch 2 as in it dose get extremely hot so not only is it disappointing that Nintendo didn't find a way to help reduce or stop that from happening but it sucks beyond compare it's a shame. Hopefully they will do something about that for the next Nintendo game console even if it's a switch 2 OLED. Or switch 2 pro. Personaly I'm disappointed in the name I think they should of called it the galaxy switch or all star jarasic galaxy switch something like that even super mega switch or instead of using switch word say Nintendo and my ideas of name instead of 2 or called ... Supreme or switch srepeame was great to me. I hate how it has to be on doc to get 4k. I think 4k should of been standard. I love how you can set the switch 2 to stay on for... So it will not time out I think the original switch should of had that it's stupid beyond compare it didn't.

This is a great follow-up to the original Switch. Hand-held mode is very comfortable and runs great. The laeger size of the console helps with long playtimes. It’ll be great to see what other games come in the future, but it’s off to a great start!

Awesome system, worth the upgrade. I enjoy the new screen

Coming from a Switch OLED, I am super happy with the new console. The upgraded graphics are great, and the bigger screen size is extremely welcomed. My only small gripe is that it’s uncomfortable to hold after an hour, but when that happens it’s off to docked mode!

The Nintendo switch 2 worked perfectly out of the box and I faced no issues. It was especially a breeze to transfer all my accounts and games from my original switch to this one. One last thing to add is that the games on the switch 2 look gorgeous

It's the Switch 1. Just better. Call it a Switch Pro. Just don't go rushing to buy one. There's not much reason to yet. It's really really good. But after they release some games for it. Then consider one. Maybe after pokemon, and metroid prime 4 it'll be a little more viable. Mario Kart Tour rocks but it's REALLY not worth buying the console alone for. (That's what I did) but I played it non-stop for 2 days and accomplished everything i wanted to in it. Needs more content. So really, seriously. Don't rush UNLESS! You play switch 1 games a lot and want performance. It absolutely crushes it when it comes to playing switch 1 games BETTER. Like Animal crossing....omg. Zelda BOTW and TOTK. Absolute monster better. Pokemon is actually playable now etc. So if those are pros, go for it!

I’ve had nothing but fun with the Switch 2 and it’s only gonna get better as more games roll out. It’s a massive upgrade from the og switch and I would definitely recommend the console to anyone who likes nintendo games or wants a quality handheld console.

I purchased this online to pickup at the store. It was an easy process. Friendly employees and a great purchase. I've been using it most everyday. It did surprise me with how big it actually is. It is a nice big screen. Easy to get use to holding too. Worth the $.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is everything we loved about the original — only sharper, faster, and smarter. Nintendo didn’t reinvent its hybrid console; it perfected it. From the moment you power it on, the improvements are obvious. The new 7.9-inch 1080p display is vibrant and smooth, finally bringing the visuals up to modern standards. Whether you’re battling through Zelda: Echoes of Hyrule on the big screen in 4K or relaxing with Animal Crossing in handheld mode, the screen feels crisp and alive. Performance is the other major win. Thanks to the custom Nvidia processor, games load faster and run more consistently, with fewer frame drops even in open-world titles. The upgraded Joy-Cons — now magnetic and slightly larger — feel sturdier and more ergonomic, solving one of the biggest complaints of the original Switch. Battery life isn’t revolutionary, but it’s solid. You’ll get roughly 6 to 8 hours depending on the game. The device also runs cooler, making long handheld sessions far more comfortable. Backward compatibility works seamlessly, so your old library carries forward — and many titles even receive free performance upgrades. Storage has doubled to 256 GB, which still fills up fast, but the microSD Express slot helps balance that. After a week of testing, the Switch 2 feels like a console designed for both nostalgia and the future. It’s powerful enough to handle ambitious games, yet simple enough for casual fun with family or friends. Verdict: The Nintendo Switch 2 doesn’t just continue Nintendo’s legacy — it refines it beautifully. It’s the console that proves innovation doesn’t always mean change; sometimes it means perfecting what already works. Score: 9.3 / 10 — A must-buy for new and returning players alike.

Upgraded from an original Switch and the performance change is very noticeable. Sure, it's not OLED but the screen still looks very nice. I personally think it's worth it.

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.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a fantastic upgrade that keeps everything we loved about the original while making it better in every way. The 1080p/120 Hz display looks amazing, the redesigned Joy-Cons feel solid, and the new NVIDIA chip delivers smoother, more powerful gameplay—even with ray tracing. Docked, it pushes 4K at 60 Hz, and features like backward compatibility and GameChat make it more versatile than ever. It’s already Nintendo’s fastest-selling console for a reason: the Switch 2 is simply the best hybrid gaming system you can buy right now.
