Customer Ratings & Reviews

WELL worth the upgrade from the original OLED version! Very happy with the joy-con magnets, the screen size, and how it looks up on my TV. Hoping to see more third party developers releasing more games that were not on the original Switch, or wouldn't have been released on it, give the Switch 2 a chance!

It's a very good device; the games run smoothly, it doesn't overheat, and it's comfortable to hold. The only drawback, in my opinion, is that the battery doesn't last as long as I'd like, but it performs well overall.

I absolutely love the switch 2. My one big complaint is the screen. It's a nice crisp screen but they should made it OLED right off the bate. The NS2 is so much more powerful and better built then the switch. It has enough power to play some aaa games. Finally! The batteryife is not as good as the switch 1 but what do you expect being so much more powerful. Easy fix get a good power bank and your set.

So far had a lot of fun with the switch 2. I enjoy the bigger size, it does not make my hands go numb when using it for long periods in hand held mode. Battery life isnt the best but is still decent. Cant wait for more games to come out that take advantage of the newer features like the mouse mode for the joy cons.

So far, so good. I’m enjoying this console. I like the size of the Switch 2, especially compared to the original Switch, especially since I’m mostly playing handheld. I haven’t docked it to the TV yet, so I can’t comment there. The few Switch games I’ve tried so far (well, really just Pokemon Scarlet) are running far smoother on this console than the last. I can’t comment on battery life yet because I haven’t had a chance to play for long. I have also heard that JoyCon drift is still an issue, and I’m hoping I don’t experience that. Nintendo really has no excuse to have not fixed that WELL known issue after all this time. As an aside, I think the $450 price tag is fine for what the product is, and that price isn’t what bothers me… but I don’t plan to go buy any $80 games all willy-nilly. There is no way that Mario Kart World is worth $80. And the game key cards for 3rd party are a terrible idea. I will basically be using this console only for first party Nintendo games and the online services (eagerly awaiting the GameCube Online to add the Pokemon Colosseum and XD games). I will save any new third-party games for my PC.

The overall size difference between this Switch 2 VS the original switch and the fact that the joycons attach and detach so many easier really is an improvement to me. The visuals also look so much better than the original and the system speed is quicker.

Honestly fantastic. A great, sleek system that’s a portable powerhouse and courtesy of Nintendo Magic is a console powerhouse too. Mario Kart World is incredible to play, and the NS2 has breathed extreme life into recent Legend of Zelda and Pokemon titles. New joycons feel excellent in hand.

Makes all my games run smoothly and efficiently. Feels great to hold. Does have a weaker battery than the oled. Overall a great home console.

I know the price is a bit more but the consle if very nice. Screen is large, bright and grafics are great. Only complaint is the battery life is only 2h or less if intense gaming but i guess with the performance and screen boost thats the traid off.

I love that this switch is bigger so it’s more comfortable than the first switch. Also the controllers no longer have the sliding rail which causes less problems for the controllers. Overall a great handheld system!

Our family has been fans of the original Switch for years, but the Nintendo Switch 2 is a massive leap forward. My kids haven't put it down since we got it! Why my kids love it: The Big Screen: The new 7.9-inch display is stunning. The colors are so much more vibrant, and the 1080p resolution in handheld mode makes their favorite games like Mario Kart World look incredible. Better Performance: Everything runs so much smoother. They’ve noticed that games load faster and there’s almost zero "lag" when things get hectic on screen. Backward Compatibility: This was the biggest win for us—all of our old Switch games work perfectly, and some even look better thanks to the improved hardware. Why I love it (as a parent): Enhanced Parental Controls: The new "Bedtime" notifications and granular play-time limits are lifesavers. It makes ending a gaming session much less of a battle. Built-in Social Features: The new GameChat feature makes it much easier for them to play with their cousins safely, without needing a separate phone or tablet for voice chat. Battery Life: We're getting much better mileage during car trips compared to our old launch-model Switch. If you’re on the fence about upgrading, it’s worth it just for the peace of mind and the smile on the kids' faces. It really is the ultimate family console

A great system - just gotta wait for more games to come out. Build quality and screen quality are top-notch. It's not just a power upgrade from the original switch; everything is sturdier and better designed. The only downside is the memory, but it's expandable with cards.

recently bought a Nintendo Switch from Best Buy, and the whole experience was great. The ordering process was easy, and the pickup/shipping was fast and smooth. The console arrived in perfect condition, brand new, and exactly as described. The Nintendo Switch itself is amazing — I love how you can play on the TV or take it on the go. The graphics are nice, the controls feel solid, and there are so many fun games available. It’s perfect whether you want to play alone or with friends and family. Best Buy did a great job with customer service, and I would definitely recommend buying electronics from them. Overall, very satisfied with both the product and the store.

Nothing as a perfect console, but it gets four stars because they made the switch 2 bigger and for someone like me with big hands that is a godsend! I recommend it highly if you want it for handheld and on the go as cyberpunk 2077 plays pretty good in hand held. Now remember when I said there is no perfect console? The reason this doesn’t get a full five stars…Nintendo’s policy and the fact you need to update it before it even becomes backwards compatible.

As someone who is an avid gamer and frequent purchaser of games and consoles. I can honestly say this console is the perfect hybrid and handheld console I could ask for. Im a major Zelda fan so to be able to play “Legend of Zelda: Tears of The Kingdom” at a stable resolution and framerate is worth it alone. However, to play all these amazing on a bigger screen and larger console, makes this console worth it. Im finally able to enjoy 3rd party games that I originally want to play on the original switch and oled, now run more stable and be more beautiful is worth the investment. The only thing I hope they are able to fix in the future or with future iterations is the battery life for longer term handheld use, but I invested into a separate charger for the switch 2, that helps relieve that issue. Finally being about to charge from the top or bottom of the console is a god send feature I did not know I needed until now

The switch 2 is for sure more powerful than the switch 1. Almost every game I've played runs smoother, most notably is pokemon violet which has lost almost all of it's framerate chunk. The notable downside however the currently limited game roster. I'm hoping that'll be fixed soon but the switch 2 is almost a year old and it hasn't gotten all that much.

Switch 2 is a huge upgrade. Setup was quick, the system feels fast and smooth, and games look sharper with great load times. The controllers feel solid, and switching between docked and handheld is seamless. Battery life is solid for my use, and the UI is clean and responsive. Worth it for anyone who plays often.

I’ve been waiting for an upgrade to the Nintendo Switch. This console definitely delivered by Nintendo and it’s more powerful than its predecessor! The console itself is bigger than the Switch OLED, the Joy-Con 2’s are bigger and more sturdy when snapped onto the console, and the screen resolution is more clear. The games I’ve had played on my old Switch definitely run more smoothly on the Switch 2. The games made for the console really shows the hardware’s capabilities like 120fps, HDR support, 1440p (even 4K), and enhanced surround sound. Would recommend this to players needing an upgrade for the Nintendo Switch. But to PLEASE keep in mind about the price if they’re adamant.

It's a powerful, well built device. The screen is really nice and bright for an LCD too. Buttons are responsive. The whole system itself feels really slick and sleek in the hands. I mostly use it handheld and there isn't any issues I can find that hinders my gaming. The Switch 2 library (excluding original switch games) is pretty small though at the time of me writing this so I suggest holding off unless you really wanna play the new Donkey Kong or Mario Kart

Traded in my old switch and got the switch 2, im so happy that i did. It was definitely worth the upgrade! The screen is so nice and it’s very light and easy to hold (i do have small hands) If you’ve been thinking about it, do it!
