Customer Ratings & Reviews

[Employee of bestbuy] Love the new set up! Beautiful screen, great size, smooth performance.

From the moment I took it out of the box, I was immediately impressed with the quality and feel of this system over its predecessor. The biggest single improvement is the Joy-Con 2. It’s much more comfortable, premium, and doesn’t look like a toy like the original. The screen is also massively better at full HD. Having owned the console for several months now, I would have liked to see free performance updates for tentpole Switch titles such as SUPER MARIO BROS. WONDER. WONDER runs at 720p in handheld mode and is borderline unplayable in its current state. I really hope there is a free patch to fix this, but I fear that better performance will be locked behind the paid update next year, as is the case with THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: BREATH OF THE WILD, and its sequel, TEARS OF THE KINDGOM. In the later’s case, subscribers of the NSO + EXPANSION PACK can download the update for free. One might argue that it’s unfair to expect Nintendo to patch previous-gen titles for their new system, but I’m sure most would agree that Switch 2 owners would prefer not to carry around two devices, and given that Nintendo announced backwards compatibility as an incentive to upgrade, it would be courteous of them to patch classic Switch titles at a time when the Switch 2 is severely lacking in exclusive next-gen software. I have logged 80 hours and 60 hours into MARIO KART WORLD and DONKEY KONG BANANZA, respectively. For major first-party exclusive content for Switch 2, all we have for the remainder of 2024 is KIRBY AIR RIDERS and HYRULE WARRIORS: AGE OF IMPRISONMENT. I mostly play in docked mode, and lately if I play my Switch 2 at all, it is for SUPER SMASH BROS. ULTIMATE, and SPLATOON 3. I will credit Nintendo for improving on SPLATOON 3 and SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY performance very quickly and without charge. For all its faults, the Nintendo Switch 2 is an excellent successor to the original Nintendo Switch in its hardware capabilities. I strongly feel that it will become a worthy successor once it has had time to grow its exclusive library. In the meantime, I would advise reluctant shoppers to wait. Titles such as METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND and POKÉMON LEGENDS: Z-A will have Switch 2 patches available for the original Switch versions, so there’s no rush for consumers interested in those titles specifically.

To be completely honest i wasn't sure if i was gonna like it in the first place. The decision for me to really get in was the fact that it was able to play switch one games. Once I actually started to use it, all of the buttons and controls are creamy and comfortable. The touchscreen is very responsive compared to the first switch. It is honestly a worthwhile upgrade if you enjoy the switch in the first place especially with the fact everything loads faster. The ethernet cable is definitely a cherry on top.

So much faster and more powerful than its predecessor. Love the look of old games and love how fast new games run! Looking forward to more titles! Only wish it had more internal storage since games are getting so big!

Switch to has everything you need that the switch one with more power only downside is battery life I would definitely buy a portable battery bank that go along with it

Switch 2 is great! The graphics are way better with the resolution making video playing more intense. Faster loading capabilities. Switch 2 improved and with a bigger screen and joy-cons. Also a better dock with cooling fan. My son loves it!

The Nintendo Switch 2 has exceeded my expectations. The upgraded graphics and smoother performance make a noticeable difference, and I love the improved battery life and enhanced screen. It still delivers that perfect blend of handheld and docked gameplay, now with even more polish. A fantastic evolution of an already great console!

Bought this for my wife, she absolutely loves it. She’s played the original switch for years and now she can’t get off the new one. Screen with fps is insane for the size. Very good for its price. Handheld console at this point!

This was a birthday gift for my 6 year old grandson. The screen is large enough for him. He loves it, able to watch YouTube and ply his games. Not sure of the battery life he keeps it plugged up. Only thing missing is RolBlox.

No surprises here; Switch 2 is the one to get for all your Nintendo needs. And while I've only played the Zelda games on it so far, it has already proven itself for me in how well they run compared to the original Switch. The games in general are smaller, so the storage included is plenty. Only issue for me is that the left joycon's ZL button took too much pressure to activate, but Nintendo is repairing that for free. Also, the Switch 2 can use Switch 1 controllers, so I'm not missing anything in the meanwhile. Not much else to say; it's great and I bought it for Duskbloods so that needs to hurry up and release!

The design and quality of the consoles is phenomenal and is very sturdy and strong. The design fits so well in your hands and isn’t heavy enough but still feeling strong enough for everyday use.

I love it it is so good for long trips car plane even a boat you should buy it and the top games you like it even supports your old switch games so no need to buy more.

Great console, great handheld device. Best of both worlds!

I love love love it!! I originally had the Nintendo switch oled & this is a lot bigger and faster then the oled. Only thing I could say is the battery life. Itll last a few hours but it does die quickly, or at least faster then other consoles. Oh also SOMETIMES the controller can be a little dumb sometimes and have a drift

Great little handheld game but a bit large for my hands. The dock and controller connection quickly converts this into a table to console. Using it with a 27 inch 4K monitor so everything jumps off the screen. I’ll admit that I’m one to watch television and play games at once. The set up is perfect to play and watch television just to the right. The only issue I have is that this one no longer comes with a browser nor does it have or allow for streaming content to be downloaded. Someone has to keep me quiet in the car.

Absolutely love the Switch 2. I actually ended up replacing my steam deck with the switch. As a busy full time worker and father my time is in short increments and this is just too easy to pick up and play anywhere without any headaches. The game library is pretty extensive as well. Good job Nintendo

The Switch 2 is phenomenal. It has everything amazing about the switch 1 but just improved. Better graphics. Better materials and build. More ram, smoother gameplay. The list goes on. Nintendo hit a home run with the Switch 2.

Works really well and the graphics are great. Easy to use and set up.

The new switch 2 is nice. Graphics was smooth, the screen is larges than last gen switch overall a nice upgrade

I have had a switch since it first came out 8 years ago. The original switch cannot compare to switch 2 but the differences in screen between the oled and this are not as big of an upgrade. Everything loads much faster and the joycons feel good. I have larger palms but it still feels light and comfortable to hold. I am looking forawrd to trying the mouse controls with metroid. It has that great nintendo charm, i just wish there was a little more or a newer home screen experience.
