It's still new to me and like all things part of the greatness is how long it last. But as of this moment it is everything you would expect.TLDR:I am a busy person with little time for games these days but Nintendo was among the first systems I had as a child. Atari being the very first for me. So when Nintendo let me down with the Wii, replacing it rather cheaply with the WiiU. I kind of left the console world for a long while. (Nintendo wasn't my only console and likewise not the only one to make me feel betrayed, Sony with the PS3 let me down as I suffered system failures and their deaths at the 1 year mark right after warranty expired. Twice, both with a Gen2 model and their slim). Not until the Switch OLED was released that I warmed up to a console again and decided to buy it. Roughly 9 years in between. With my busy schedule I kind of just bought games and stocked them up. Only really playing with my niece and nephew games like Mario kart and Smash Bros. I did try my hand at Animal Crossing getting through a bit but never making a full year worth of effort. At one point I stored my Nintendo Switch OLED and all the accessories and games... and forgot about it.When the Steam Deck got an OLED version I jumped in on that and it kind of became the system I dedicated any spare time to. My Steam and Epic game library is massive so I kind of wanted to have a system that played it. On road trips I could put a little time into a game or so. Well along comes the Switch 2. Which reminded me I own a Switch OLED. I wasn't too excited, in fact I was a hater with all the legal documentation you agree to just to play. As a little time passed a few circumstances in my job took place where I was suddenly growing nostalgic for Nintendo titles I grew up with. Such as Zelda, Pokémon and Mario games. I currently own many of the Switch titles already just never played them. Eventually any hopes of upgrading my PC were destroyed by the RAM-Aggedon bubble we're in and I took those savings and bought the Switch 2. Specifically because I can play all my Switch titles as is, with some having upgrades for the Switch 2. Since I pay for the online service and expansion (something I was paying and forgot about too) I get those upgrades included free of additional costs.The system is your typical Switch, but with upgrades of course. The screen is much larger. Hell when I saw it, it really feels like Nintendo is having a macho type fight with Valve over their system's screen sizes. The Switch 2 is large by a good size but not thick, it is still very thin and lightweight. Which is nice. It does weigh more than the Switch OLED but way less than the Steam Deck OLED. Screen resolution is very clear and nice, but I can't comment on performance improvements since I really did not play much on the Switch OLED to grow a good sense of how much improvement I could notice playing Switch games on Switch 2. If they have an upgrade the game plays at higher FPS with better looking graphics but that's all I can say. It looks pretty good and performance is good. Ultimately my favorite feature which has absolutely no use for me right now, is the mouse feature. The Joy-Cons can actively be used as an actual mouse. Like a PC. That blows my mind but also... why? What can I use it for? No idea but damn that is cool.The Switch 2 does consume more battery than the Switch OLED but that's kind of listed publicly so you should know what your getting. I do like the added top USB-C which makes it easier to charge while you play undocked.I don't like the fake cartridge games. Be careful when buying physical games, some are just keys to download the game later. I know they claim cartridge storage and speed limits but come on, the technology for flash storage that are extremely large in capacity and speed exist. In fact the Switch 2 can only use MicroSD Express as expansion memory and it is not backwards compatible with slower older MicroSD. MicroSD Express is way faster and able to store way more data than the Switch 2 cartridge (which is faster than Switch). Since the Switch 2 already has MicroSD Express it means it has an internal controller for it, a dedicate bus that could have easily been the Switch 2 main cartridge slot. Or at least Nintendo should license game devs the ability to choose MicroSD Express or Switch 2 cartridge and just avoid the momentary issue of fake cartridges.Aside from that, accessories are a little lacking in a sense. Their Pro Controller is ridiculously expensive and the only pro it offers is that it can turn on your Switch 2 from a sleep state. Every other feature the controller has can be found in 3rd Party controllers. I have an XBox layout 3rd Party controller with Nintendo Switch protocol and the Switch 2 recognizes the button layout on the controller without swapping them around. So far accessories I have for the Switch OLED work on the Switch 2, but not be able to wake the system. Don't know why that is even a "feature" thing. I've read the newer 3rd Party licensed controllers also do not wake the system but I don't have any of them to check.I do enjoy it and I want to make it a system I actually play and not let waste away. Just wish Nintendo would consider some of the issues a little, like allowing MicroSD Express become part of their cartridge system. Oh and end their unrealistic IP restraints on hardware you purchase.

I'm sure most of y'all have already formed your own opinions on the Switch 2, or at least have heard hundreds of opinions showered online, well take it from someone who's on the completely opposite spectrum as 99% of others:I *DID NOT* like the Switch (1).At times, I hated it. I owned over 200+ games on the console, spend more than 4000 hours total playing it, and yeah: I came out of it pretty dissatisfied.No, I wasn't some Sony/Microsoft/PC fan.I love a bunch of RPGs on the different PlayStations, sure, but I never felt connected to its community.I adored my Xbox 360 and even loved my OG Xbox. But not enough to jump into the next generations with Microsoft.And my PCs have all been (deliberately) potatoes. I like using them for work, nothing more.I was, in fact, closer to anything else, a "Nintendo fan".No, N64 was not my holy grail, nor was my Gamecube.In fact, the Wii and Wii U were my favorite home consoles from Nintendo (with SNES being next in line).I loved Nintendo consoles because no matter how many years went by: going back to play one of your old games on one of those old consoles with friends and family felt absolutely worthwhile.Consoles and companies come and go. We buy and sell our stuff depending on where our lives take us... But Nintendo consoles were the ONLY consoles I EVER regretted selling.Sony? Microsoft? If I sell them, I can expect to play the same games in a later console and be correct 95% of the time. Not only that, but usually a better version of a game will have released by then.Nintendo games and consoles? No... They're a craft that you miss once they're gone.Sufficed to say... I have more opinions about Nintendo than most.So when I say I didn't like the Switch... I mean I GENUINELY did not like it.As a game console? Pff, it was perfectly fine. It played games. It played them on the go. What more do you need?Character and meaningful design.Having played countless hours of my Switch, wearing down its features from overuse (I'm not even talking Joycon drift. I wore out the locks on the console that kept the controllers in place), having to DIY fix things on it because I wasn't willing to spend $100+ on temporary repairs, and just absolutely using it how it's intended by commercials (took it to parties, took it camping, took it for public transit, etc)... I can say... This console plays games and that's it.You may think that's a positive. But if you owned and USED your 3DS, you know what I mean when I say: there's almost ZERO interesting social features the Switch had. Even playing it on a stand and passing the extra controller to a friend out in the frickin wilderness felt... Ho-hum.Let me spell it out for you: If you need a console that JUST plays games and does it superbly.... Buy a gaming PC.If you need to do it on the go: Buy a Steamdeck.But if you want a MEMORABLE AND ERA-DEFINING CONSOLE: The Switch wasn't it.Why? Because the Switch went COMPLETELY AGAINST Nintendo's design philosophies. It's not only lacking in innovation and creativity, but it's cheap and BUILT TO BREAK. I'm not exaggerating on that front. Ask anyone who still has their Launch-Day Switch and played it endlessly like I have. Ask if there's any issues with the console: surprise surprise, almost ALL OF US have inflated batteries. As in, the battery isn't just dying, it's READY TO EXPLODE. And this coincidentally happened right around the time the Switch 2 was announced. It's like they built it to only last as long as it took them to release the next console.The Switch was the most non-Nintendo console Nintendo ever released. And that's saying something, because they've built more than one major collaborative console throughout their history.It lacks that ever-fun, ever-lasting design that revolved around improving people's social lives. It instead feels like a 3rd party product, just with a 1st party budget.If you disagree then I need you to consider something: are you arguing for the Switch? Or THE GAMES on the Switch? These are two entirely different conversations.So... With all that out of the way...Does the Switch 2 pull the Uno reverse card and show people what a Nintendo console REALLY looks like? ABSOLUTELY NOT.The Switch 2 does NOT feel like a (classic) Nintendo console. It feels like a (modern) Nintendo console.If that doesn't sound appealing: stop buying new consoles and just play on your old ones. I'm not being hostile. I'm genuinely giving advice.Nintendo is NOT the same company it used to be. It completely changed when its former CEO (Iwata) passed away, and it only got worse when Nintendo of America's CEO (Reggie) retired. Those two actively stood as the bulwarks against Nintendo becoming "just like every other company". With them gone, the corporate side of Nintendo lost all sense of fun and whimsy.Nintendo will never go back to its old days. Those days are gone because they depended on the old guard to keep it that way. The old guard is gone. Nintendo is permanently changed.The devs are still fun though. If you don't care about consoles and only care about games, then you can't go wrong with buying a Nintendo console for Nintendo games.But if you wanted the heart and soul of (classic) Nintendo ingrained into their very hardware: the search will just lead you to a gravestone.No, the Switch 2 doesn't feel like Nintendo returning to form.The Switch 2 feels like (modern) Nintendo finally found solid footing and has started to run.The Switch felt like a janky attempt at being a sleek hybrid device with a few modern integrations.The Switch 2 feels like a luxury device designed near-to-perfection for modern hybrid gaming.The Joy-con? Thought out, well designed, and much more comfortable in the hands.The screen? The perfect size. You can't compare it to your phone and think "eh, close enough".The console performance? Like a dream. Switch 1 games run so much better on this - even without an update/upgrade.The intuitiveness of controls and menus? Undeniably improved. Doesn't keep me wishing for "if only I could do this with this controller, or that with that controller".The system menu is still bland, but far more intuitive and interesting.The online is still lackluster, but improving in features with every major update.The wireless signal has weakened, but it has much better latency.The Pro Controller feels like a step back in some ways, but a step forward in other ways.The GameChat is so "eh"... But no game has been built from the ground up with it in mind yet.The battery life is abysmal, especially when compared to the Switch lite and OLED... But somethings had to be (relatively) cheap to keep it from getting too expensive.And it's pretty much guaranteed that a better version will release within the next three to five years, but that's kind of a given. Nintendo has done this since the GBC era.In terms of (classic) Nintendo console design and quality, this thing is well below average.But in terms of (modern) Nintendo console design and quality, this thing blows the Switch 1 out of the water. Almost to no comparison.I know I made comparisons, but playing it is different from reviewing it.Those who whine about the console but never actually play it because they're waiting on new games: can't see what they're missing.But those who replaced their Switch 1 with this (still have mine btw) as their main console? Those who play on it daily? It's not even "like Night and Day", it's like Starving and Well Fed.Like I said from the start, I never liked the Switch 1. It was a terrible (classic) Nintendo console, and a bland (modern) Nintendo console.But the Switch 2? This. *This* is what the new Nintendo is offering.A thought-out, well-engineered, modern hybrid machine for the new era of Nintendo games.And it's definitely enough to make me stay.

It's a lot faster than the Nintendo Switch 1, the graphics look a lot better.

I haven't had a Nintendo system since I was a child and the Wii came out. I've been looking for variety in terms of ways to play and jumping back into Nintendo games since they were a part of my childhood. The console came in good condition and was indeed brand new, everything included and came with the battery half charged which was more than enough to get through the initial setup and try out my game. I had chosen to get Donkey Kong Bananza with the system and have been loving every second of it.The battery lasts me about 3 hours playing handheld/tabletop and that's with me toggling the system setting to stop charging at 80 to 90%. If you plan to take it on a long road trip or away from the dock for an extended period of time I definitely suggest getting a battery pack (I got the Anker 10,000 mAh 30 watt bank for a good deal). Screen size is good, and the joycon grip included is very comfortable for me playing docked at my PC since I have smaller hands.

Definite improvement over the original Switch! Nintendo refined the previous product, and provided a great upgrade to a good system. The overall size and weight will be an adjustment for some, but the Steamdeck I have is pretty similar in that regard. The transfer of data between the consoles was another good addition so I didn’t have to go back, and do more work on my games. I didn’t intend to buy one anytime soon, but I felt it was necessary before the price increase occurs and it becomes harder to obtain one once everyone gets the same idea. Overall, if you own a Switch, I’d recommend this for you since it’s an easy transition, and anyone who hasn’t owned one should consider it for the variety of games it provides to us gamers.

Bought this as a birthday gift for my son, and he absolutely loves it! The Nintendo Switch 2 is a noticeable upgrade from the original Switch. The screen is larger, the graphics look better, and the overall gaming experience feels smoother and more immersive.My son was excited from the moment he opened it and has been enjoying it every day. The newer games look fantastic, and everything runs great. Definitely worth the upgrade for Nintendo fans.Highly recommend for kids and families who love gaming!

Feels more like a mid-cycle upgrade than a next-generation console, but the Switch 2 does everything the Switch did but slightly better. It's backwards compatible with Switch games and the modest bump in power enables it to run those old games better and new games quite well. Newer firmware has fixed the HDR problems in TV mode as well. Its main shortcoming is a lack of third party games, and its main draw is argubaly that it's basically evolving into Nintendo's official emulation portable thanks to Nintendo Switch Online's emulators for the Gameboy, Gameboy Advance, VirtualBoy, NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, and GameCube.

I've been strictly playing on PC and Steam Deck for over a decade. I've missed series like Fire Emblem, Mario Kart, and The Legend of Zelda so much that I finally broke down and bought a Switch 2.While I love my Steam Deck, I had forgotten how great it feels to buy games for a system and they all function and the joys of actually owning physical video games. With the Switch 2 there's no more checking ProtonDB or going into the forums to try and get "verified" or "playable" games running through work arounds and extensive tinkering, sometimes to no avail. All of the Switch games, physical and digital, just work. I'm enjoying it so much, I haven't touched my Deck since the purchase and I probably won't until I get the urge to play a 4X or Colony Sim. The Switch 2 is a great little system.

console is good as expected

great

ZR button on the joycon not working. Have requested for a refund.

Em relação a entrega, esta aconteceu bem antes do prazo e o vendedor foi muito atencioso. A respeito do console, minha família está extremamente satisfeita!

Working very well, no problem at all
