Switch 2 + Mario Kart World

The Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle is everything I hoped it would be and more! This next-generation Switch console feels beautifully refined — the screen is crisp and vibrant whether you’re playing handheld or docked, and the improved performance really shines during gameplay. Mario Kart World is a perfect launch title, offering tonnes of fun with friends and family. The controls are responsive, the tracks are creative, and the multiplayer modes (both online and local) make it great value overall. What truly makes this bundle worth it is how seamlessly it combines powerful hardware with one of the best racing games out there. From the moment I turned it on, I was impressed by the build quality, smooth performance, and how enjoyable it is to pick up and play anytime. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Nintendo or a newcomer, this is a brilliant addition to your gaming setup — definitely one of the best Nintendo Switch experiences available right now!

I'm really satisfied with this. However, it really depends on what you're after and it might not suit everyone. I'm a gamer and have been since the beginning, I currently have everything, a Ps5, Xbox, Gaming PC, Steam deck, smaller emulators and of course a Switch OLED. I was a bit apprehensive to get this due to the price and a small amount of launch titles available. To be fair, it's a good line up but it's still early days. Depending what you own and your use case, this might well be for you or it might be worth holding off. Firstly, I've noticed a lot talking about the Seal being broken on the box. I looked into this and it seems to be country wide across all outlets. Mine was not broken, however, I notice that a new one had been stuck over one that was. It doesn't concern me as it just seems to be a common thing everywhere and it's possible that the game code was not included in some boxes so they needed to check it was. With that said, make sure you open it the right way round, as I didn't and everything fell right out (onto my bed!). Everything was wrapped properly and there were no fingerprints on anything. Setup was okay. It was easy and not too time consuming but it wasn't quite turn on and play. I did need to update the system and I needed my OLED model to transfer saves over. This required my device for authentication as well (phone/tablet) providing you have that security feature enabled you will need it to. It also needed both Switches to be connected to the power adapter. I couldn't do but I got around it by just swapping the adapter between them when it asked. I was up and running from box to play in about 20 minutes, that includes putting on a screen protector. Weight wise it comes in around 534g a bit heavier than the 420g OLED. It's still comfortable to hold and the weight is better distributed because of the larger screen. The LCD screen is surprisingly good, it's not an OLED no, but actually, I found the darker aspects is actually more dark grey where the OLED seemed to have a green tinge on things (except for the proper black, which just can't be beaten on the OLED). It's nice and vibrant and it's one of the better LCD's I've seen, so I think Nintendo did a good job there. I've heard people complain about HDR on TV when docked. I think the HDR looks great but you do need to calibrate it, if you do this correctly it should look great. Apparently, it's much better on TV's with HGiG (HDR Gaming Interest Group) and I'm not even sure my TV has that or not, but I'm very happy with the picture and it doesn't look washed out, but I did spend some time getting it right. I'm not a fan of the pricing of the games, I'm really not a fan of having to pay extra for Switch 2 Versions, but if you have the membership you do get the upgrade packs for Zelda. I've played a few back compatibility games and I've found that ones that struggled before were at least a lot more consistent now. For example, Xenoblade was all over the place on the original but now it's nice and smooth, even if it is just 30FPS. Some games with uncapped frame rates get vastly improved! Some games, not all, might actually look a bit worse on the console when undocked, for example, Bayonetta looks a bit worse due to the larger screen but the console still recognising it as undocked and using the originals code. This isn't a bug but it's possible it will get fixed in the future. The difference isn't night and day but it's noticeable and only on some games. The battery life is okay, it's dependent on the screen brightness and games of course and I've heard there's actually an issue where the percentage isn't correct with people saying they've continued playing for a while after the percentage reads 0%. I believe Nintendo is aware of this and a fix is coming. New console issues really. The Joycons are better and removing them is very simple! The mouse is surprisingly good and even works well on my bed with just the sheet under it. They're larger and much better suited towards larger hands. Mario Kart World looks fantastic as do the new launch titles. Load times are improved slightly. Now, is it for you? If you've never owned an original Switch, then this is a great console to start with. If you want to have a handheld console, then again, this is really a good console. If you primarily play in docked mode then this is where things get a bit tricky. Currently, because of the large price if you own any other main console (Ps5/Xbox SX) then it can't really compete. Games like cyberpunk will still look and have better performance on the other consoles compared to the switch. If you're mainly into third party studio games, then you won't be getting an overall boost here. Even compared to the Ps4 Pro and Series X it can get a bit tricky and I'd say to hold off for a while. If you don't have any other console but just a Switch 1 then this is clearly an upgrade but you'll have to ask your wallet if it's a £439 upgrade. Currently, you aren't missing out on a lot and there's some practices Nintendo are doing I'm really not a fan of but at the end of the day, if you want the best of the best in regards to Nintendo, you're a collector, you can afford it easily, or you really want improvements to your previous library, then I think the Switch 2 is a fantastic system that has played it safe without bringing a lot of new innovation, at least yet. I'm very happy with it and as a gamer, I'm pleased with it ultimately.

I brought this to replace my previous generation Nintendo switch and I am so glad that I did! The slightly bigger screen is excellent especially when you are on the go like I am. The battery life in hand held mode is good considering the size of the screen however when playing particularly system demanding games like Mario cart world it lasts maybe 2 hours which could be better. I’m a big fan of the redesigned system for connecting the joy-con controllers, the magnets which hold them on are strong enough to hold them on but easy to remove with the simple press of a button. The controllers now have an additional functionality whereby you can use them as a mouse which I really enjoy using to navigate menus. The stand on the back is solid and good quality, I don’t feel like I am at risk of breaking the stand unlike the stand on the previous switch. It is fully compatible with all the previous generation of games some of which have even been enhanced for the switch 2. You are able to download your digital games straight to the consoles internal memory which is super easy. The box includes everything you need to get set up and start using your switch 2, this includes the power cable, HDMI lead which is very good quality which I was surprised about, the docking station which has had a redesign and looks great and the switch 2 console it self with joy-con controllers and attachments included. This edition also includes the Mario cart world game which is great fun, such a improvement over Mario cart 8, great fun either solo or with friends! I would recommend getting a screen protector and a carry case for the switch 2 console just for peace of mind both of which you can get off amazon for maybe £20. In summation a great console for those who haven’t had a switch before or those considering an upgrade, great for on the go gaming or gaming at home alone or with the friends and family.

This is a neat little console, I've long wrestled with if or not to get one and i've been pleasantly surprised by it. The screen is nice and clear, the battery life is really quite good can get about 2.5hrs of gameplay before needing to charge it, the kickstand on the back is great if you just wish to kick back and chill with a game on, that would be very useful for on the fly. Great sound quality, the games look really good too, Metroid Prime 4 looks amazing on it and lets not forget Mario Kart itself, that game is as fun as it ever was and its a blast to play with friends. Its a shame that music and video can't be transferred onto the device for multimedia purposes, but other than that i've been impressed well and truly, smashing stuff :)

Console is great. However the supplied accessories not so much. The dock has 2 USB A ports and the supplied cables are USB C The power plug supplied is UK, and I bought this in Australia The software I paid extra for is locked to the UK and I'm in Australia. I get global distribution but the company should make some effort to match the product to the country being supplied to I'll chase up the software separately but I shouldn't need to buy extras because of an Amazon issue

Veio tudo perfeito, chegou rapidinho! Valeu muito a pena, estou felizão

Great game system

The Nintendo switch came perfectly fine, the top seal was slightly open but I guess it's because of security issues during the shipment; everything was nice and new, the code also is working and for residents of UAE it could appear as an error if you try to insert the code, so you need to change the location of the Nintendo to an other country to be allowed to put the code since it comes from the UK and Eshop doesn't exist here; also the Nintendo came 3 days before the supposed delivery date so

Exactly as described
