The 14 year old was thrilled when he opened his gift from Grandma for his birthday. The price almost made it a no but, luckily she spoils him and has no other grandchildren. He is impressed with the graphics and game play. He has now went from Switch to Switch Oled and now this one. Not sure how we’ll afford more games but I guess we’ll figure it out. Luckily he can still play the ones we purchased online.

This was a long awaited purchase as i was going to get the OG, but heard the new one was coming in early 2024. This was purchased for my 9 year old daughter as a reward from 2024, thank you walmart for the plus members early shopping hour. I was so excited to get my hands on one as a single mom i can't always go stand in line or run around, especially with my kiddo in tow.

I was happy to see this system was being sold directly from Walmart and not resellers. For those who are complaining about the code: Go to Nintendo eShop after you setup your Switch 2. A prompt will pop up letting you know about the game so you can download it. There’s no code in the box. 🙂

i hate the price has gone up so much from the first switch, but I'm happy with the upgrade. it is a beast compared to the first one, much more power and quality. love the bigger screen, I've been using it more handheld than i did with the 1st version released in 2017. having 4k when docked on the tv is just so much nicer than 1080p on my 80 inch tv.

Came in perfect, and regarding the people who did not get the game in the box THE BOX SAYS TO OPEN THE ESHOP AND YOU WILL GET THE GAME. This may not have been everyone who bought it though, as I know earlier versions came with the cardboard code. But for me and new buyers, just opening the eshop after setup was enough to have it appear

It is the Switch I've been waiting for so long. While I loved the original Switch, it was starting to show its age with games that had very poor performance. With the Switch 2, it's almost like having an Xbox Series S in the palms of your hands. Its 1080p/120hz/HDR screen is truly a joy to look at, and even better when playing on my 65" OLED television. Using the joy-cons as a mouse is much better than I expected. After all is said and done, it could easily become my favorite Nintendo console of all time.

I ordered a Nintendo Switch 2 (sale for $50 off) yesterday and was scheduled to pick it up at 6 today. The order was cancelled by Sam's around 4 pm. After chatting with customer service, they said they were out of stock in all nearby stores AND online. The best customer service could do was offer $35. Foul practice.

Nintendo Switch 2: A Worthy Successor, But With a Familiar Playbook The highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 has finally arrived, launching globally on June 5, 2025, and early indications suggest Nintendo has another hit on its hands. Building upon the revolutionary hybrid design of its predecessor, the Switch 2 delivers a significant boost in performance and a handful of welcome refinements, though it largely plays a safe and familiar tune. At first glance, the Switch 2 is strikingly similar to the original. The core concept remains unchanged: a tablet-like main console that can be played in handheld mode, docked for television play, or set on a tabletop with its detachable Joy-Con controllers. The form factor is comfortable and instantly recognizable to anyone who has held the original Switch. The most significant upgrade lies under the hood. The Switch 2 boasts a more powerful custom NVIDIA processor that finally brings a much-needed performance uplift. Games now run smoother, with improved loading times and the ability to hit higher resolutions and frame rates. While not aiming to compete with the raw graphical prowess of the latest consoles from Sony and Microsoft, the visual fidelity is a noticeable step up, especially when playing on a 4K television. The screen on the handheld unit itself has also seen an improvement. While still an LCD panel, it offers better color vibrancy and brightness than its predecessor, making portable play a more visually engaging experience. The iconic Joy-Con controllers have undergone a subtle redesign, with a more ergonomic grip and what feels like a more robust construction, addressing some of the durability concerns of the original. Nintendo has launched the Switch 2 with a solid, if somewhat predictable, lineup of first-party titles. A new 3D Mario adventure and a visually enhanced "deluxe" version of a popular title from the previous generation headline the launch, showcasing the console's capabilities. Third-party support also appears strong out of the gate, with several major multi-platform releases available at or near launch. However, the Switch 2 is not without its minor drawbacks. The core user interface, while functional, feels largely unchanged from the original Switch, missing an opportunity for a more modern and feature-rich experience. The online infrastructure, while functional for multiplayer, still lags behind the more comprehensive offerings of its competitors. Ultimately, the Nintendo Switch 2 is a confident and well-executed evolution of a beloved console. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it doesn't need to. The core proposition of a seamless home and handheld gaming experience remains as compelling as ever, now bolstered by a welcome injection of modern hardware. For existing Switch owners, the performance boost and refined design will be a tempting upgrade. For newcomers, the Switch 2 offers the definitive way to experience Nintendo's unique brand of interactive entertainment. While it

1. Some Switch games run better on Switch 2 (higher framrates, stable framerates, etc.). 2. Large LCD screen with vivd colors. 3. Larger controllers with Joy-Con 2. 4. Extremely durable. 5. New dock still scratches the Switch 2 when docking/undocking. Invest in a glass screen protector. 6. "D-Pad" is still rough for fighter games. Invest in the Pro 2 controller for this genre. 7. Great launch line up.

I like the like rainbow color gradients around the OK options and like everything, it is really nice, the PS5 has this but they are harder to see. It runs pretty well and for the first day I have had it, it has been pretty good. I have heard the battery-life is bad. The accessories for it are MEGA overpriced, $80 for a pro controller, and 100 DOLLARS FOR A NEW SET OF JOYCONS, nonetheless, I heard the joycons can get stick drift easily so that is bad but yeah pretty decent.
