    I myself am not that impressed with the switch 2 other than slightly bigger screen , double the capacity for on board storage its not all much different from the original. Battery life is abysmal it feels chunky it stays in the dock 80% of the time and i hate the fact not able to install apps like other consoles Nintendo def not favorite console

    I know it took them 8 years to upgrade but the difference between how well the switch 2 runs compared to its predecessor is astoundingly great.

    Terribly flawed

    I'll start with the positive. The screen makes the original Switch seem like a bootleg. I currently have no Switch 2 games to really compare with besides Fortnite (it's free), but the regular switch games are much more vibrant and clear. There may be 'Switch 2' upgrades for some Switch games, but even without upgrades there are games notorious for poor framerate and other lag issues that perform a lot better on this. Loading times are also greatly improved. Another big plus? The Switch 2 can actually handle its online store. Sound quality is improved as well. However, I have had nothing but connectivity problems with this. Straight out of the box it would not 'see' my wifi (neither the 2.4 or 5.0 bands). Even when holding it 2 feet away (and once out of frustration, tabletopping it on top of the router because why not?) from the router with no obstruction. BUT, it somehow sees my neighbor's wifi. My location is approx. 150 feet from the closest side of their house. So, I dragged a tv near my router, used it docked LAN. Updated everything. I managed to see and connect to my wifi after the update. Life was great for about 2 weeks. Then an update rolled out that required a restart. It has refused to connect to wifi since. It will rare see my wifi. When it does, within 2 seconds of hitting 'Connect', it fails. I have tried hotspotting my phone and even went to my neighbors and tried theirs since it sees theirs with relative ease over mine, and no luck. Factory resets do nothing but delete my games. Tried tutorials involved with changing advanced internet settings, even factory resetting my router and trying to connect it as the first/only device, too. I doubt it's my router, there are plenty of electronics here including the computer I'm typing this on that connect no problem. Regular Switch works just fine on either band. Such a shame. Typing in the error codes on the Nintendo site prompts a suggestion of making sure your router is plugged in and try moving the console closer. Gee wiz, I wish I thought of that (thinks back to placing it on top of the router). Reason for wifi having no connectivity removing 4 stars? Because any flaw that makes (admittedly not all) games completely unplayable and removes features from others is a catastrophic failure in my book.

    came almost completely charged so could set it up as soon as I got home. Set up was very easy and straighforward, accomplished by simply starting a nintendo account. The account card I purchased was a breeze to enter into the system and I could start downloading immediately. The addition of a microSD card for increasing storage was a breeze, as long as you used the right type of card.

    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.
