One of the most disappointing console launches for me. -A large chunk of game releases are game key cards, meaning a download is required and the life of a game is limited by whenever a company decides to shut down a server. This should not even be an option that Nintendo allows. -Magnetic joy-cons feel flimsy and unstable. -The grip you can attach the joy-cons to is the single most uncomfortable controller-like device I've ever held, pretty much forcing you to spend more money and buy a pro controller. -Recent TOS changes say they can brick your console if you do something they don't want you to. It also mentions monitoring your camera and voice chat. Along with them allegedly banning certain games and dlc on their platform, such as Neptunia, policy changes alone are enough to make me regret my purchase of the new console. -Some Gamecube Classic expansion pass games that were previously advertised are not unavailable (a subscription service that's also anti-consumer - just let me buy and own my games). I was under the impression that the previously advertised games in the earlier Nintendo showcase would be available day 1, but that is not the case. That one may be on me, but I would blame Nintendo for not clearly advertising it. I very much regret buying this. I bought it for Pokemon Colosseum/Gale of Darkness, which is not available, and for Bravely Default HD, which ended up being a game key card, so it's not much more for me than a paperweight at the moment.

The Switch 2 is an amazing console despite all of the hate. Most of the specs are at the very least doubled. Mouse controls are a really interesting gimmick to try out in games like Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. The large size of the system is also really nice for play

For $500 one would think Nintendo would use hall effect analog sticks. But no, that is too much to ask after a generation plagued by stick-drift issues. Control on the joycons are still well behind competition. The screen is nice and big but lacks the brightness to deliver true HDR content. Bluetooth audio on the device is very buggy. Premium price, premium hand-feel but very familiar issues still persists.

I was able to snag this for my kids at 3 am while feeding the baby! My kids were begging for this - and honestly, I wasn't thrilled at the price. But when I had the opportunity to snag this, I decided to go for it. It honestly has been used by the whole family and I'm impressed with the graphics compared to our OLED and original one.

The system arrived fast and on time. setup was quick, and the system transfer went smoothly. The Switch 2 is perfect both for those upgrading or who have never owned a Switch before. If you are complaining about no games, remember that you have the whole legacy Switch library at your fingertips. Absolutely worth the price of admission.

First time having pre ordered an new console and this thing Is worth It. Far superior specs, I don't know how I played the original switch at all the screen was so tiny compared to this. Compares to other countries selling Switch 2's, this is a very good price we got In the US. Battery life Is excellent, charging time Is an hour or so. Everything from first Switch plays much faster on this too. For storage, you can just use the same SD card for Switch. No need to change It.

i bought the Mario kart world bundle for the switch 2 on June 05 day one at the walmart release walked in grabbed the bundle the box was a little scratched but its fine tue contents inside was untouched so i did not really mind, works flawlessly and the performance was way better than the original switch. tue second one i bought online for my brother because he really wanted one as-well so i got him it and he loves it too. only con for me personally is the battery life of the switch its alright they could’ve squeezed in more of a bigger battery to last an extra hour or two considering the pricing of the console. other than that it is a great system so far no issues 👍🏻

The Nintendo Switch 2 has completely exceeded my expectations. Right out of the box, it feels like a major step up from the original Switch — not just in hardware, but in the overall gaming experience. The first thing that blew me away was the visual upgrade. The new games look absolutely stunning, with sharper textures, smoother performance, and more immersive lighting. Titles like Zelda and Metroid Prime 4 look next-gen, and it’s clear Nintendo put a lot of care into optimizing for the new system. What really surprised me, though, was how much better the older games look too. I revisited Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Breath of the Wild, and they run smoother and look more vibrant than ever — it’s like they’ve been given a fresh coat of polish. And Fortnite? It honestly feels like I’m playing on an Xbox. The graphics are crisp, the framerate is stable, and everything loads faster. I never thought I’d be able to say that about a handheld Nintendo console. Overall, the Switch 2 isn’t just a minor upgrade — it’s a true evolution of the platform. If you’re on the fence, don’t be. This is the Switch experience we’ve all been waiting for.

I really liked this console and some of the the new hardware and revised aspects of the console such as the bigger screen, bigger joy cons, and better kick stand. I especially really like the backwards compatibility feature although some games such as Marvel VS Capcom fighting collection is playable but may not work properly, which is unfortunate.

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.
