Overview

We track Nintendo Switch 2 Console alongside 42 other legacy systems products, comparing it on rating, how many people have rated it and what it currently costs. According to the listing: The next evolution of the Nintendo Switch console is here! Experience new, exclusive games like Mario Kart World only on Nintendo Switch 2. Plus, you can enjoy compatible games from your Nintendo Switch library*. Those are the seller's own claims rather than our testing, so treat them as a starting point. On Amazon it holds 4.4 out of 5 from 581 ratings. What that score is worth next to its rivals is set out below.

How it compares in Legacy Systems

Across the 43 rated legacy systems products we track, the typical score is 4.4 out of 5. This one sits at 4.4, which is in the bottom quarter of the category. That does not make it a bad buy, but there are better-rated alternatives on the same shelf, so it needs another reason to earn your money.

It carries 581 ratings against a category median of 3,874. 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.

On price it sits in the upper third of a category running from £2.99 to £375, where the midpoint is about £13.99. Paying above the category norm needs a reason beyond the rating, because the score alone does not justify the gap here.
