I have every Nintendo Switch made and this, by far, it’s better. The graphics and color is amazing. It’s worth the purchase and I’m happy I got it‼️

Everything I wanted and more. I couldn't believe the upgrades to some of my existing titles, and the design suited my large hands so much better than the original Switch.

I loved The entire console. Runs well especially the New version of tears of the kingdom!

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.

It’s as powerful if not more powerful than a PS4 in handheld form. Games that are coming out came even almost look as good as PS5 games. I love being able to hook up to the TV as well as play handheld. The magnetic controllers are so much easier to deal with than the sliding rail on the first Switch. You get a huge great looking LCD screen. The kickstand is a lot better than the Switch so now I can actually use it in tabletop mode without worrying about it falling over. I’m glad it didn’t have an OLED so I don’t have to worry about burn-in.

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.

My son loves his and was able to transfer his games from his older Nintendo. It is larger than the previous version, so we will need to buy a new case as well.

nintendo switch 2 is a great upgrade from the original switch and the oled model. I gave it 4 stars because there is definitely room for improvement. it’s hard to give it a full 5 stars when it does seem like nintendo held itself back with dated hardware when this product did release making it seem like it will be dated sooner than later when you have stronger hardware products out there. where this excels at is its convenience and portability of playing triple aaa 3rd party games and amazing fun first party titles. nintendo excels best at this. the 3rd party titles though you take a hit with the graphics and make you just want to buy the titles on the stronger hardware consoles for best experience

Game console of the year. Been waiting for this for months. Traded in the old switch for the switch 2. Well worth it. Only drawback is the express card used instead of the regular sdcard.

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.

Been loving this system since day one! The only thing I have issue is the battery life wish it was better, definitely worth getting day one since I saw people I know hitting the FOMO real hard!

Too expensive on its own but after trading in my old switch it’s worth it. Love playing BOTW and TOTK on 60 fps

Awesome console! A lot bigger than the first switch, controllers have a lot better grip, easy to remove. Game chat setup is nice and allows you to chat with friends. Good games available on switch 2.

Super fun and nostalgic but, kind of expensive. Really wanted it for Nintendo Sports, but really miss baseball being included.

Great console, graphics are really good, charging isn’t too extensive compared to previous generation. Really fun, worth the purchase!

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)

Big step up from v1, screen is much bigger, brighter and game play is smooth. My son loves it!

So far, so good! We decided to upgrade to this new Switch after having the first one since launch. The picture quality is far superior, load time much faster and it’s very easy to upgrade our games to this version. Sure, you gotta pay a small price to upgrade, but it’s worth it.

Having had my original switch from 2017, the switch 2 is a huge upgrade from the original device. The switch 1 felt like a little cheap tablet, while the switch 2 has better graphics, bigger screen, and everything just seem more modern and console like. It's solid and I'm recommending it to everyone.
