This Switch version is hands down the best way to play these games. They hold up remarkably well in 2020 thanks to the engaging story and memorable cast of characters.
"Baldur's Gate II: Enhanced Edition" is an updated version of the classic RPG, featuring the original Shadows of Amn campaign, Throne of Bhaal expansion, and new arena battles in Black Pits II. It includes 11 playable classes, iconic characters like Minsc and Boo, and new NPCs with customizable player voices. The new difficulty setting, Story Mode, allows players to prioritize story and exploration over combat.

Swords for Everyone! -- Baldur's Gate I & II, Planescape: Torment & Icewind Dale Enhanced Edition for Switch
Combined, these four games carry over 400 hours of some of the most well written RPG storylines I’ve ever played. The Enhanced Editions provide a wealth of quality of life improvements that make them bearable for new platforms. While there is bafflingly no touchscreen support for Switch, and the multiplayer is AWOL, there is simply no better way to take these wonderful RPGs on the road than the Nintendo Switch.

If you have not played this before, perhaps you should check out the first one.
0%Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition Pack PS4 Review
A stunning re-release of a pair of genre titans, the Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition Pack is an eminently thoughtful and evocative reminder of just how good these RPGs were and how now, PS4 players can finally turn back the clock and see what all the fuss was about. Trust me, you won't regret it.
