    Great successor!

    A good successor to the switch. The controllers feel more study and attach more securely than on the original. And so far no joy stick drift. The only real cons to a switch seem to have been remedied! After a couple months of moderate use, it holds up extremely well. The graphics are better than the original and so is the speed and battery life. The motion to only charge to 90% is great to extend the battery life. It’s a bigger screen so using it handheld is even nicer. It’s a good size for handheld too; if it were much bigger it would be too big but this is a good balance of portability, weight, and usability. The only con is needing really new, expensive SD cards to expand storage so options are limited and they are pricey. As the price comes down though that should improve.

    My kid just had eye surgery and this was the present he received for his bravery. He loves it and plays it everyday especially during his recovery. The graphics are solid and it’s fast. Highly recommended.

    Everything about it feels more sturdy, less like a console designed solely for children, more like a well-oiled machine. As a package for someone who already owns an original switch, you are able to transfer everything over, similar to how it works when upgrading phones. On to dislikes, I have. They have a new MicroSD card standard called MicroSD Express. The downside to this is, at least for me, my sd card from my switch didn't work. I wish they kept the OLED screen from the OLED model switch. The conclusion for me is that The Nintendo Switch 2 is worth it for the right person, someone who has either an extensive library of games or spends a lot of time playing on their console.

    Got it midnight at release. Controllers feel premium. Games run better. Mouse controls are surprisingly good. Loving it so far and the price tag wasn't too much for me to swallow.

    Got this for my boyfriend for Christmas and he loves it! We both mostly wanted to connect and bond more with one another, so I decided to buy him the switch so we can both enjoy playing video games together. It’s the only time I feel like we can both relax and just enjoy each others company and share lots of laughs! Our fav games so far is Mario Cart and Pokémon! Love when I win, but seeing him happy makes me happy, great purchase. Thanks Best Buy!

    Feels more like a switch pro

    Well it’s the switch 2. The newest generation of Nintendo. It’s definitely their most expensive console to date. $500 for the console and a digital download is pricey. It feels more like switch pro more than anything. Although it is fun and it’s a huge improvement from the original switch I strongly believe $400 with the game would be a perfect price point for it. What makes it a lot worse, is that the games are $85, which is ridiculous. If you have a switch Oled, I Suggest not upgrading just yet. If you don’t have a switch or that you have the original one you should upgrade because at least it’s backwards compatible. The screen is huge and the 1080p screen is nice, although Oled would have been better. At the end of the day it’s a great console just expensive.

    Excellent system. The screen size and processor upgrades have made the Switch 2 even a more enjoyable system than the original Switch.

    The larger screen and clarity compared to the Switch is amazing. We’ve found the switch 2 also communicates and connects to game servers faster.

    Big update from the original Switch with higher graphics and backwards compatibility is nice. Not a fan of Nintendo or their business practices and their very old games never go on sale. Not a knock on the Switch 2 itself but that factor alone does add into the overall cost of owning this system.
