Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a step up from the original Switch; larger-ish screen, better connected controls scheme, even a faster load time for most games. It’s amazing to play AC: Shadows or Cyberpunk 2077 on a switch and still match the 60fps and VRR as that of a PS5. While it’s not perfect, it’s close to being a awesome good console/portable gaming system. While some switch games aren’t fully backwards compatible (yet); Nintendo did state they are working on those games. But for the price (which is also questionable…), I can see some will be okay with the purchase. Also the SD card, you can not use; you will have to get a SD express card!! For me? It’s a very good console and would love to see its potential further.

Im impressed. Playing nintendo games at a higher frame rate is absolutely amazing. The only complaint i might have is that the battery dies so fast in handheld mode. Maybe they couldve done better on that end of it... BUT i play with it docked so im not going to be the one that complains.

Love the switch 2. Upgraded from the switch. Graphics are so much smoother. Love the size of the joy cons. Very cool

Now im playing with power! I have had every single nintendo console in my entire life so getting the switch 2 was a no brainer. This console is powerful with the convenience of being handheld. The quality of life improvements are great and noticeable. The magnetic joycons are chef kiss. Bigger screen,faster processing are also a major plus. All the negative trolls out there are just trolls who want to spread high misinformation. I absolutely recommend a switch 2.

I love using this switch as a hand held. I also have the Oled. Both are great, but i can tell they really thought out the design of this swich 2. My only gripe is that its pricy. Loved putting DBrand skins on it.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is a fantastic upgrade that keeps everything we loved about the original and makes it even better. The improved graphics, faster load times, and longer battery life make gameplay smoother and more immersive. It’s incredibly easy to use—just turn it on and start playing, whether docked to a TV or in handheld mode. The interface is intuitive, setup is simple, and switching between games or users takes just seconds. Whether you’re a longtime gamer or just starting out, the Switch 2 feels welcoming and fun right out of the box.

LOVE IT!!! The screen size is great!! The graphics are super clear. When I play Fortnite it’s not super pixelated. I LOVE the stand and it doesn’t fall over like the old switch I used to have. It’s faster and I love that you can either charge from the top or bottom. Highly recommend getting the switch 2!

Console is good so far except for the battery life. It seems to run games better compared to the OLED version which is as expected. The exclusive games such as Pokemon Pokopia and DK Bananza make it worth the purchase.

Now there are some games that don't work on the switch 2 that work on the Switch 1. Nintendo is looking into it. Also, keep your switch 1 just in case and keep your joy con controllers as well. This console is a bigger, it makes some games perform better. It has better connection.It has better amibo support( you don't have to take the amibo out of the box) and it has a greater display. I would say bye, if you want better performing games.But the games will be a little bit more expensive for that high performance. Look on nintendo's page to see which games do not work. I cannot see the nintendo switch 2 being a necessity, this time, but at the time of this review, it's not even a year old.So we're just gonna have to wait and see.

much improved performance and visual quality over the Switch 1 or Switch OLED for Pokemon Violet/Scarlet. Higher res, no stuttering, more FPS, more pokemon spawns. This is the way the game was meant to be played! The only downside is the battery life seems to be shorter compared to the Switch OLED but I guess that's expected since the console is also much more powerful.

I'm glad I chose the Nintendo switch 2 as opposed to a stationary gaming system. I hooked this up to my TV and you can toggle between using the device itself and the TV by simply removing the device from the dock and taking it with you, the game seamlessly travels along. So that's a big plus for me. As a retired senior, I was looking for something to amuse myself and this did the trick. I purchased an additional controller because I didn't know at the time that it comes with a controller attachment and the two side controls are removable. So I returned that item. Also, the salesman sent me home with an additional HDMI cable which was unnecessary because it already comes with one from Nintendo to hook up from the TV to the device. So lots of pluses. Also, it works with just about all of the Nintendo switch games. I have noticed some glitches in the software with certain games that come and go but I enjoy the games just the same. I look forward to seeing what new games become available this year. Oh, and I forgot to mention that the device is a touch screen for many of the functions. It gets a thumbs up from me. My only complaint is that there weren't any instructions and I had to refer to YouTube videos for hookup which were very helpful. It would be nice if the guys in the store we're trained on these things so that I could have gotten the hook-up information from them. Regarding hookup, just pop out the back panel on the bottom left where you see the little opening. The plug holes are in there for the HDMI. And there's a port on top towards the right where you flip it open to put in the game cards. You just push down on the game card and it pops up by itself. Gently insert and press to insert the game cards. You will have to press until you feel it click in. I've attached some photos, hope this helps.

This is such a HUGE upgrade from my Switch 1. I was holding out for a bundle or some cool design BUT I could hold out any longer! So happy with my purchase! This console is so beautiful, smooth gameplay, fast response time and so many fun games. I was worried all the money and time I put into my Switch 1 would be gone, but everything from my Switch 1 transfered over to my new Switch 2 in about 5 mins (including all saved data) so that was awesome! Couldn't recommend it more!

Larger, better graphics than the switch 1. I like the exclusive games. The battery life in handheld is pretty weak though.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is honestly a great upgrade if you enjoy playing both on the TV and on the go. The new screen looks much brighter and sharper, and the console feels faster overall. Games load quicker, the graphics look cleaner, and everything runs more smoothly.

The Nintendo Switch 2 takes everything I love about the original Switch console and improves on it in nearly every way. It has better graphics, more power, faster load times, and a sleek new look. My only complaint isn't with the console itself, but rather with the fact that nearly all 3rd party games on the system are digital key cards and do not actually contain the games themselves. That pretty much kills the idea of having your games on the go. FYI Nintendo, the internet does not exist everywhere, and there are still customers who would love to purchase the new Switch but will not because they do not have internet access. I know some personally. That being said, the machine itself does work wonderfully, and I would have given it 5 stars if not for the dependence on an internet connection

I had the nintendo switch, that I purchased in 2020. I enjoyed the system and was excited to upgrade. I really do like the bigger screen, better graphics and even the joycon is much better. Overall, I think it’s great

Very nice graphics and smooth design! Was very easy to transfer data. Has a nice stand built into it.

[Employee of bestbuy] A great piece of hardware, iterated on everything that made the original switch great. Better magnetic joy-cons. A larger screen but same thickness. 1080p 120hz display.

Experience the future of portable gaming with the Nintendo Switch 2. Featuring upgraded performance, enhanced visuals, and seamless docking capabilities, it delivers console-quality experiences both on the go and at home. Perfect for solo adventures or multiplayer fun.

I was on the fence and skeptical about the Switch 2 for a long time, but I decided to get one and I’m glad I did. I love handheld gaming, and I value the handheld mode they recently released for upgrading switch 1 games to run as if they are docked, as well as the bigger screen. It’s makes it a better after work device to get lost in for me. No regrets!
