Customer Ratings & Reviews

Look forward to more games arriving. I wish the game keys did not have to be carried around to play the games once they are added to the device. Would prefer Nintendo offer the full game on physical media as long as one has to carry around a game. That said, the conclusive is great with an excellent screen and the ability to switch between handheld and docked TV mode.

Stunning graphics, seamless hybrid play & improved Joy-Cons. Battery life rocks, loads fast. Ultimate upgrade for any gamer! Love it!

It's awesome! I love it! My son loves it! Love the big screen! Everything about it is great!

Night and day difference to the original switch. Loading times are vastly reduced and the screen is a great improvement!

Glad to finally get the new switch! I know that there are mixed reviews on this but I love it! A bit heavier than the previous model but it does have a bigger screen and better graphics. Worth every penny.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the rare sequel that actually feels like it respects your time, your eyes, and your existing game library—all at once. From the moment I powered it on, the upgrade over the original Switch was obvious. The 7.9" 1080p HDR screen is bright, crisp, and big enough that feels like a true “main” way to play, not a compromise for when you’re away from the TV. Colors pop, fine details in games are suddenly visible, and text is comfortably readable without squinting. Docking to the 4K TV makes it feel like an entirely new era for Nintendo, not just another refresh. Nintendo nailed the hardware details. Controllers slide on magnetically with a satisfying click, feel more solid in the hand. What really makes this system shine is how load times and frame rates are dramatically better than the original Switch. At the same time, it still plays compatible physical and digital Switch games, and some of those even get upgrade packs or performance bumps, so your existing library doesn’t become obsolete—it actually feels refreshed. Exclusives like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza would show off what the new hardware can do, and it’s exciting to know this is just the starting point for the generation. In short, Nintendo Switch 2 is exactly what I hoped for: a true next‑step Switch that keeps everything I loved about the original while making it faster, sharper, and more fun to share with others. If you’ve spent years with the first Switch, this feels like seeing your favorite worlds again with new eyes—and if you’re jumping in for the first time, there’s no better way to experience Nintendo’s games today.

The Switch 2 is a fantastic upgrade. We have upgraded the whole household and everyone truly enjoys it. It runs faster, the graphics are great, and load times are much better.

I love the Nintendo switch 2. Only thing that sucks is the battery but overall it’s a great system to play

The Switch 2 is a wonderful console! I previously played on a Switch Lite and upgraded to this console. The graphics and load times are incredible in comparison. I play mostly cozy games and Pokemon. I haven’t had any wait time between scenes or entering/exiting buildings. This console is well worth it.

Super Nice, controls are perfect… games are running so smooth, screen is larger.

Solid upgrade if you have the setup to support it , ex(4Ktv , fast internet) , loads of fun with how fast everything loads and looks crisp at 60 fps , makes me go back and play my whole library

Battery life is not great. Less than 2 hours of gameplay. Battery drains significantly fast while on sleep mode or not in use. But overall performance is a huge improvement than the first version.

It took me about a month and a half since release to finally get one, and despite the criticism, negative reviews that have nothing to do with the quality of the product, or the general skeptics out there, this is the best handheld gaming system hands down! Yes, not having an OLED display is a bit of a downer, but the advantages far exceeds the one shortcoming. For instance, HDR support, 4K resolution with up to 120hz refresh rate, and backwards compatibility (with a couple of rare exceptions). Mario Kart World is incredible! Even original Switch games see a marked improvement in performance. Legend of Zelda:Tears of the Kingdom with sharper visuals and 60 FPS? Yes, please! Even New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe has improved performance. If you’re hesitant about buying it because of the price, I understand. If you’re the occasional gamer who is only looking to pass the time on a layover, skip it. Just use your phone. For everyone else, what are you waiting for? There’s two – no, one still in stock at your local Best Buy! But I’d hurry. This one older lady is circling around it like a vulture. Never mind, it’s still there! So what are you waiting for? Get yourself a Switch 2. Like, now.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a definite upgrade over its predecessor. With the larger 1080p screen, the larger joy cons that magnetically attach to the console itself, the better graphics, and faster load times, it's truly a joy to play. And the original Switch games even perform and look better. For instance, Smash Bros Ultimate has much faster load times. Totally recommend the upgrade if you can afford it!

Everything I lived about the Switch with Enhanced Graphics. I highly recommend this to anyone that likes gaming on the go.

Nintendo improved the console by 200%; the graphics are better, and I liked the size, it's great for playing.

I love this system! The performance upgrade from the original Switch is amazing — faster loading, smoother gameplay, and the screen looks gorgeous. Battery life is much better too. Totally worth the upgrade!

The Switch 2 keeps everything I loved about the original but improves where it counts — faster loading, sharper visuals, and better battery life. Games run smoother, and the slightly bigger screen looks amazing. Still super portable and great for couch or travel gaming. If you liked the first Switch, this feels like a polished evolution, not a complete overhaul — and that’s a good thing.

Excellent performance, only complaint is that battery life is a little short. Excited to see the library of games grow and to see the full potential of the hardware!

Works great! The speed and storage are beyond better than the switch 1. And the larger screen size makes it more enjoyable.
