The Switch 2 is a very welcome upgrade to the Switch. I can’t boast its graphical capabilities but its upgrades to Switch games are already magnificent. Pokemon Scarlet and Violet give me whiplash with how smooth they run. Also, while the screenshare function is laggy and slow- overall me and my pals love talking over Gamechat. Could we just use discord? Yeah, but it’s somehow invigorating doing it from the console.

Took what felt like forever to get. Constant refreshing online. It was around 2 am when 1 was left. I heard mixed reviews from people I know. A friend said his friends who bought it said the switch 2 was not as good as they thought. But my kid (35) who has been gaming since they could hold a controller said it is amazing. I had to get it. I have been playing dragon quest builders 2 on my switch for some time. The island i have been working on has been lagging because there is so much stuff. Was so annoying. Switch 2-- no lagging (not exaggerating). It is more clear %26 the loading time is amazing. I cannot wait to play botw %26 totk again on the switch 2. The only downer is the charging takes a lot longer %26 it stays charged about 2-3 hours of continual use. Not too bad considering it is larger than the switch. Overall, I have no regrets!

It's a better Nintendo Switch that can play new Nintendo releases and legacy software at higher fidelity. Build quality of the Switch 2 is vastly superior to the Switch 1 and the console is priced fairly competitively considering the hardware under the hood. It's a similar jump in quality from a PS4 to a PS5 but arguably more appealing than that product. Paid less for the Switch 2 than the Steam Deck OLED for a machine with better specs. Main issue is backwards compatibility not being ironed out 100% yet but that's an issue to be fixed over time. The dock is super flimsy and feels worse than the original Switch's dock. Overall solid system despite not reinventing the wheel like Nintendo is known to do with their hardware.

Happily impressed from the very first pixel and sound. The LCD screen is very bright and vibrant despite not being an OLED. This choice for supporting variable refresh rate seems smart. Being Nintendo, everything is easy to use and understand as I'd expect. Much different from a windows gaming handheld if you're a mere mortal. While the price may be a concern for some, I don't see it stopping the units from selling out. If you're more on a budget maybe consider an original Switch or other options. I imagine I'll be able to play with others including those on a switch 1 in many games, which will be a nice plus. Switch 2 seems to have been worth the wait.

The Switch 2 is so much more powerful than Switch 1. This generation is going to be awesome! The screen with HDR is vivid, crisp, smooth, and the colors pop. Now the bezel around the screen is kinda a downside but it is negligible because the screen is so beautiful. The Joy-Con 2s are bigger, thumb sticks are smooth and buttery, buttons are bigger, and more ergonomic. Switch 2 Feels and is a premium console. I play 99% handheld so I wouldn’t have anything to say about Docked mode.

The screen is so much larger and clearer than the original Switch and feels more comfortable to hold in handheld. On certain games like Tears of the Kingdom and Pokemon Scarlet the frame rates really improve the movement speed and teaction time of certain actions making it more fun to play for me. Only time will tell how much more awesome this console can get but for now super glad I got one at launch.

This is one of my first Nintendo consoles, and although there has been a lot of controversy surrounding the Switch 2, I personally have really enjoyed my experience with it so far. The new games I’ve played have been really good and the quality of the system is amazing and very easy to use. I would highly recommend this to anyone who has been considering it!

I’m loving my new Nintendo Switch 2. The ONLY negative thing is the battery life. I played Mario Cart for roughly 1-1.5 hours and it drained the battery significantly. I’m definitely recharging every day. For the cost, I’d expect the battery to last longer. Everything else seems great. I love the size and clarity of the screen. I had the OLED and this model seems just as good. Maybe it’s just me. The buttons move easily when playing. Overall, I am very satisfied with it. I would recommend it.

Great experience purchasing through Walmart.com and the system is everything and more I wanted from a more performance oriented switch. The only thing I would say, and it isn’t a negative, if you had wrist pain problems with the original switch systems, this console does nothing to improve that and is slightly worse due to its overall increased weight.

The unique features such as the built-in mouse and magnetic joycon coupling are no gimmick. The Joycon 3D rumble is still some crazy techno-wizardry that has improved even further. The handheld screen has wide fidelity with a built in screen protector, and the stand on the back of the console actually WORKS now. Forget about putting this in your pocket. Not a big launch line up of games, but a lot of Switch 1 games now run 60fps in 4k on tv, 1080p in handheld. If you're strictly looking for newer games, I'd hold out until the holiday season when supply goes down. As of writing, there's Mario Kart World out and a new Donkey Kong game in the near future with the exception of indie titles. My biggest gripe is that there is no preloaded game that demonstrates the features like PS5's Astrobot. Nintendo has decided that you need to pay extra for that game, which should be the make or break game to warrant a buy or return. Front load your tech demonstration if you want to want to show the ceiling for potential, which this console definitely has.
