Portability is as great as ever with the Switch 2; transitioning from handheld to docked is a snap. So far, in my experience, all my Switch games have been playing just fine on the new system(and I do have a fairly good-sized collection). The new, updated controller feels awesome to use and comfortable to hold, with smooth button pressing and analog stick motion. I thought the magnetic joycons would be a bad idea, but it turns out the attachment is very strong and sturdy, quite easy to remove when wanting to, though. The YouTube app is still available, for anybody wanting to watch videos or listen to music, instead of playing video games for some reason. The only thing Nintendo needs to do now is make it possible for us to download the big-name streaming apps for watching tv shows and movies, then who needs PS or XB? lol

The Nintendo Switch 2 builds smartly on its predecessor’s hybrid formula, offering better performance, a sharper OLED display, and improved battery life. Games load faster thanks to the upgraded processor and SSD-like storage, and the system handles more graphically demanding titles smoothly—even in handheld mode. Backward compatibility with Switch 1 games is a huge win. The Joy-Con redesign adds comfort and reliability, finally addressing drift issues. While it’s still not as powerful as PlayStation or Xbox rivals, the Switch 2 excels in portability, family-friendly gaming, and exclusive Nintendo titles. It’s a worthy upgrade for both new players and longtime fans.

It's good for its price. It plays nearly every Nintendo Switch Game, and once more Switch 2 Games Release, it'll get a even bigger library. Think of this like when the Nintendo DS upgraded to the 3DS, the 3DS had multiple generations of games it could play, and the same goes for the Switch 2.

I went in with little expectations as I really didn't care for the launch titles. Long story short, Zelda BOTW is absolutely stunning, 60fps, HDR, no slowdown anywhere, higher resolution, it's much better than I thought it would be. The same applies for Tears of the Kingdom and a slew of other original titles that got patched for the 2, very impressive. The new Gamecube section is great, very sharp, very responsive, zero lag, and the gamecube controller is excellent - and it works in normal games as well! Their online service is much zippier, no more waiting and chunky lags. The console itself is connecting at a much higher speed then my original switch (40 vs 250 ), and that's on day one with the servers getting slammed. All in all I'm much more impressed then I thought I'd be, I can't wait to see what the future holds with native titles.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was a little frustrated waiting for the system-only and mot the bundle with Mario Kart to become available. For several weeks, it continued to show it in stock with marketplace sellers who had suspicious reviews about pre-opened boxes, so i wanted to order directly from Walmart.

I bought this because because I wanted to update my Nintendo lite console i have. Great item .

Hooking it up was very simple. Easy setup out of box my kids love it!

Needs more worthwhile games.

The joycons are very easy to break so be careful. Other than that I have no complaints

I love how much bigger the screen is and how good the graphics are but man does the battery life on this sucker drain fast in handheld mode
