Title: It’s a great system just it is what it is.
Review: 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.

Title: Bigger faster and better than the Switch 1
Review: Everything I thought it would be. Bigger, faster and the graphics are better. Joyous work great so far and no issues that I have seen. It was a nice surprise to actually have the hdmi cord with the console. So no need to buy one to hook it up to the tv.

Title: What the Switch was meant to be.
Review: 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.

Title: Amazing gaming device for the money!
Review: I’m in love with my Switch 2!!! It’s a great handheld console, and I would like to know what kind of magic they use to get games to look so amazing on such a small form factor device! The Nvidia GPU/CPU in this thing must be next level truly! I’m playing Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, and now Resident Evil: Requiem on this thing and it looks amazing! I also got Fallout 4 to beat and that looks great too! I’m very happy with my purchase and I wish I’d jumped onboard sooner. I play mine in my car on my lunch break when I go in to work and its a ton of fun! Switch 2 is THE best handheld we’ve ever seen and I stand by that claim! It’s truly incredible what it can do. Don’t miss out and grab one today! I’m considering selling my PS5 because everything I want to play is on my Switch 2!

Title: Good upgrade.
Review: Exceeded my expectations. It’s a nice size compared to the Switch 1. The screen is nice and bright colors are excellent, does the job but not nicer than the Switch Oled imo. Eshop loads quicker than the previous Switch which was one of my issues. Games load quicker. It’s not a mind blowing console like the PS5 or Xbox Series X but the games look way better than the previous Switch and it’s definitely a good upgrade. Nintendo has always been behind Sony and Microsoft’s consoles but you’re not buying the Switch 2 for crazy graphics or mind blowing Fps, you’re buying it for Nintendo’s excellent first party games. Nintendo has always been that company with good games and a good time.

Review: Hiç bir sorun yaşamadım. Orjinal ürün, ambalajlı tabiki değil az çok fiyatından neden ambalajının olmadığını anlayabilirsiniz. Normalde oluyor mu onu da bilmiyorum gerçi. İçindeki parçaları tam, sapasağlam. 2. El asla değil açıp kapamak dışında kullanıldığını zannetmiyorum. Şarj adaptörü İngiliz tipi geldi. Şarj girişi uyuyor diye dönüştürücüsüz ipad in şarj aletiyle şarj edebildim. Ama tv bağlarken işe yaramadı. Hdmi kablosu ya da kendi tvmin hdmi ında sorun olduğu için olduğunu sandım. Araştırınca kendi şarj aleti olmadan tvde açmayacağını öğrendim. Aklınızda bulunsun. Konsol olarak tvden oynayacaksanız dönüştürücü alın.
