Nintendo Switch 2 Mario Kart World Bundle

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. Read more

What can I say that hasn’t already been said. This is a terrific upgrade from my original Switch. The improved graphics and noticeably smoother performance make a real difference, with games loading faster and running more consistently. Everything feels more responsive overall. As an added bonus, my daughter is thrilled to officially inherit my old Switch, so it’s been a win for both performance and family harmony. A solid upgrade all around. Read more

I made the jump from my 3DSXL, wanting to keep the portability and ensure i could play all the classics that nintendo does best. It came and was ready to play right out of the box. Incredible grafix and sound caught my attention and after a few hours of playing the Mario game I decided to actually check out the machine and it blew me away. It slipped into the TV module with no effort and the picture had me floored. Sound and controls were all simple to operate and just as easy and fun to play. The controllers are amazing they magnetically snap on to the machine for handheld use locking in so you can get into the game, OR you can pop them off with a very simple switch either give one to your friend and play head to head on the handheld or on a TV. connect them together with the help of the included magnetic holder, the two sides to connect for a separate controller that works with both the handheld unit and the TV even turn them into a nouse for some fun gaming . I feel as if i got two games for the price of one and the controllers can be used as a mouse or set them up for up to four players to enjoy this system on a high definition TV. Incredible computing power in a small but very comfortable and player friendly package. It has a speaker and micriphone built in and can easily take a nintendo compatable camera for online gaming and the web browser going forward. Charge as you play then drop it wirelessly into the dock and continue your game without missing a single game. This comes with everything for up to two people to play right out of the box. The price is so fair for all the enjoyment and possible ways to use this incredible gaming system. Nintendo really nailed every part of this game. Be aware they sall a pro controller which makes this even more pleasant for the long sessions. Make certain that you have lots of tine as the fun games will eat up many enjoyable hours. I could truly go on all day but real gamers will eat it up and newbies will be starting at the top. Read more

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. Read more
