Customer Ratings & Reviews

Amazing system, I love the graphics and the portability.

Console itself is truly fantastic. Runs Switch and Switch 2 games smoothly. The ESHOP store finally runs perfectly and the Joycons feel great in handheld and in docked mode. Truly a seamless experience and it feels durable. I would advise to get an Express SD Card as well for future storage.

Love it. I thought it was going to be too big for my likeing after seeing size comparisons to the original Switch, but its actually a great size and the screen is pretty good. I thought id hate the screen due to the lack of OLED but it’s actually a pretty good LCD panel.

Awesome system, don’t think I’ve put it down since picking up

Pros - the system feels solid, premium and less like a toy like the first switch felt. The speakers are good, the hdrumble feels a little better. The bigger display is nice. It’s nice you can play your switch 1 games. Cons - while the screen is bigger and supports a higher refresh rate. It’s a slow lcd panel. Blacks are displayed as a uniform gray color as the panel can’t produce perfect black levels. Any games with higher motion show more visible trailing or ghosting of the image compared to the switch oled model. Not a major con if you’re docked all the time (especially if you own an oled tv). The ui, it’s the same ui we’ve had for years. No innovation. No themes, just nothing. You’re teased with some cool ambient music during first boot and setup, but never again do you hear it. Just back to silent and bare bones ui. No games. Seriously at the time of this writing, we have only 4 actual switch 2 games available. (Not including ports or crossgen) dk, Mario, the rip off tour game, and the wheelchair basketball game. All the other available s2 games are either games you’ve already played or can play better on every other platform. (Cyberpunk, nms, Fortnite, madden, etc with the 3rd party games. What about switch 1 games that are patched now. Well those are nice, totk, botw, Mario all look and performs great on the s2 in either handheld or docked. However!!!! Nintendo doesnt tell you much about non patched switch 1 games. Sure you can play them using your switch 2. But without any patch to unlock the resolution or frame rate, the vast majority of switch 1 games will run at a maximum of 720p handheld on your switch 2. This looks bad. The bilinear scaling from 720 to 1080 handheld looks rough. Add in any limitations to frame rate the s1 games had and you’re in for an ugly 30fps 720p experience handheld. Docked, you get what you previously had on your s1, so again, limited to whatever the docked profile gave your game performance wise. Overall, it’s okay. Being able to play Zelda finally at crisp 1080 and 60fps handheld is great. But again I paid 450$+ for a console and then another 10 bucks just to play at a good frame rate. I’d love to give it a higher rating but sadly it’s been collecting dust till either new games come out and I mean new OR the massive and loved switch 1 library gets performance patches to utilize the switch 2. The steam deck oled is a way better value and still my preferred mobile gaming device.

I bought my Nintendo Switch at Best Buy and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. The console works perfectly the screen looks beautiful, the colors are vibrant, and the whole system feels very smooth and fast. I’ve been enjoying my games so much, and the battery life has been really good too.

I just want to say huge props to Best Buy for how smooth and organized the Nintendo Switch 2 preorder process was. I’ve been through some chaotic console launches before, but this was one of the best experiences I’ve had. Yes, I had to wait on the app a bit for the queue to open and process my payment—but once it did, everything went through without a hitch. The system didn’t crash, my order was confirmed fast, and it honestly felt like Best Buy really planned ahead for this launch. The only downside? I was really hoping to get the exclusive Best Buy coin that came with some early orders. It was a bummer missing out, especially after preordering on day one. That would’ve been such a cool collectible to go with my Switch 2. If by any chance Best Buy still has more of those coins, I’d love to get one right away—it would make an already great preorder experience even better. Still, hats off to Best Buy. This is how console launches should be handled. Can’t wait to unbox the Switch 2!

Switch 2 is a fantastic upgrade! Switch 1 was a great console with amazing first party games! Switch to enhances that by making switch 1 games run better and also giving us new switch 2 games with better resolutions and frame rates with more 3rd party games coming to the console!

An overall good system, although some apps do not work due to the apps company not providing support to said app, eg. YouTube, Hulu, or Netflix. As well as some games not getting an update to provide 60 fps or a higher resolution, like xenoblade, fe3h, or many others besides some first party Nintendo games, mainly Zelda botw, and tears of the kingdom

Seamless experience on the app but the rep in the store was slightly irritated when I asked if they had Pokémon cards. I know people ask a lot but I shouldn’t receive that type of service. I work for a mobile carrier and get asked about new releases so much during the holidays and I don’t see no issue in responding positively.

Great system for the Nintendo gamer. A fun experience

Just got my hands on the new console and wow, it's seriously a game-changer. The portability aspect is just incredible; I can take all my favorite games with me anywhere. The graphics are surprisingly sharp for something so compact. It's been so much fun exploring all the different titles available. Definitely a worthwhile investment for any gamer.

Got it on launch no problem, great new system from Nintendo that plays all the old switch games and even enhances some of them to play better. Best Buy handled this launch with ease and no hassle, stress. Thank you for that!

Great console, my kiddos enjoy playing for hours in a week. I highly suggest Mario Cart and Pokemon to keep the kids playing and discovering the open worlds in both games. I would also suggest play online with other players. To see how great they are against other players around the world. Great product and offers a lot for such a small console.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the same Switch we all know and love, but better in every way. It has that timeless Nintendo magic that makes it fun for all ages. Great games, great features, and a great overall experience.

The Nintendo switch 2 has been such a good purchase

Nice Console, having lots of fun with the games!!!

Definititly is a blast to play. Upgraded from and original switch and can say its worth the upgrade. Overall build quality is better and feels much more durable. I only removed the star for the price tag of the system itself for not even being on par with current gen Xbox or Playstation. However from my experience all games that have been ported to the Switch 2 really run smooth.

Love the switch 2! You can definetly feel a difference in performance from the original. Only complaint is the battery life, but that was expected on launch. As long as you keep it plugged in while playing, the battery should last a good long while.

Amazing follow up to such a great system. Love how big the screen is while keeping the slim profile. New Joycons are a great size too. Makes using them solo really easy. Also love that the stand is so much nicer than before. All in all, an amazing update to a modern classic.
