Across the 42 rated nintendo switch 2 products we track, the typical score is 4.7 out of 5. This one sits at 4.5, which is in the bottom quarter of the category.

It carries 123 ratings against a category median of 570. That is a thin base by the standards of this category, so treat the score as provisional: a handful of extra reviews can still move it either way.
