Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've never had a console game unit before. But this one is better than I was thinking it might be. I'm having so much fun with it. I'm usually a PC gamer, but this is lovely too.

Easily one of the best new devices I have gotten in a very long time! Upgrades from the oled and this screen is not an oled but it looks just as good if not better! My hands hurt after playing it for a while so I recommend buying a pro controller.

Definite upgrade over the original Switch. Graphics & frame-rate on BOTW & TOTK are night and day over the original hardware. I found that the new joycons wiggle ever so slightly when docked to the Switch 2 - at $500 for a handheld I would expect a bit higher quality in the fit. Only other gripe about the system itself is that memory is only about 250 GB, which runs out fast. If you want to expand your memory, you have to use a new Micro SD Express card, which are more expensive than standard Micro SD cards and can be harder to find (especially if you want 500 GB)

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

Everything on this system runs great and it feels great to hold. Definite upgrade from the Switch 1

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

Loving this system better than the original. Animal crossing new horizons is beautiful on this system.

It came with everything i needed to have the best gaming experience. I enjoy the 4k video and the fact that evey game sold will work on that platform. I previously had the switch 1 and was kinda discouraged to find that some of the software i wanted to play was only available on the switch 2. Now the sky is the lomit! And it was affordable!

This product exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent and it works perfectly. The setup was simple and the experience is very enjoyable. The design is modern and the performance is smooth. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something reliable and fun. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this purchase.

Great system. Enjoy every moment of playing it! I would definitely recommend it!

I got this for my 7 yr old grandson for Christmas and he LOVES it! Of all his gifts, this was his favorite! I had bought him a Nintendo Switch 1 a few years ago, which he loved, but he couldn't play Madden on that one. It was so fun watching him play the game both on his own and then with his Dad, who was teaching him things as they played. It's his new "addiction"! Also, delivery was amazing! They delivered same day and delivery person lets you know delivery status every step of the way!

System runs very smoothly and there are plenty of game options. Definitely an upgrade from the original Switch. I love that the joy cons connect magnetically. The processing speed does seem to be faster as well. Would definitely recommend the upgrade if you're thinking about 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.

Game is amazing service was amazing line was moving super fast I got this game at a amazing price and was able to pick it up within the same day

Great console. Kids spend hours on it and love it. Nice display, fun games. Too early to tell about durability. Joycons on the prior version failed to charge after a year or so.

Quality is great big screen colors great and it has a lot of memory on it already definitely worth the money

Love my switch 2 way more responsive the the original nice size screen way more storage off the bat good all around handheld system

Amazing it’s as wonderful as I thought it would be there are a few hiccups that being not enough games right now; but it won’t be for long; also my first launch day pick up of a console was so good it however could’ve been a lil faster but so so well organized none the less; would def do it again through bestbuy for so many reasons.

We purchased this for my grandson (age 8) and we are very pleased! It works well for Minecraft, which was our priority.

Larger screen, better connective joycons, intuitive setup. 10/10 recommend this as an upgrade from V1 or as your first Swtich. The dock design improved greatly, with more airflow, additional usb outlets for more connection options. The charger is more compact so you don't lose both outlets when plugged in either!
