Here's my thoughts on the new Nintendo Switch OLED (Not Pro)

  • Nintendo announced their new Switch OLED, with a better and brighter screen, an improved kickstand, Base 64GB internal storage, new white joy-cons, and a couple other quality of life improvements. The unfortunate reality is that this is not the NEW Nintendo Switch Pro that we were waiting for, and there are no upgrades to the processor, or any 4K resolution bump or graphics upgrades, which is kind of disappointing. Here's my thoughts on the matter.

      ​@@DammitJeff Hey Jeff! When you do make that video reviewing the OLED Switch, can you check if everything is interchangable? For example old switch with new dock, or even swapping components like the back housing between each switch. I assume if the internals have been kept the same, I imagine you could just upgrade your old switch with the new fancy kickstand and the new dock. Thats all I really want to be honest. - Kind Regards, A big fan of your channel

    Here’s my thing, I don’t think it’s worth buying a whole new switch, but if you don’t have one this might as well be the one you buy. Personally I wasn’t disappointed by this though, it’s just a better version of the original switch, but nothing so amazing current switch owners feel like they need to drop their current switch. It’s the leakers fault for getting people’s hopes up, and I feel that’s shaped some people’s negative views on the console. I’m honestly neutral, switch OLED is great for new users, but if you already have one there’s not much a point. (unless you exclusively play handheld)

  • @heartofthewild680
    @heartofthewild680 Před 2 lety +8

    I think I’ll stick with my current switch. Since it’s an animal crossing edition, and also because I already get headaches if I play with the brightness too high (which is why I’ve stopped using playing in my tv), so I feel like adding a “better” display will just exacerbate that (assuming I can even tell the difference at all because I keep my brightness so low). But my big question is, will the joycons come in more colors now (like lavender and pastel pink) so I don’t have to learn how to do a shell swap? Because if so, I might buy those.

    • @EtanMarlin

    I’m bummed that it’s not coming until October as I likely won’t be able to get one anytime soon, but if it had been a September release I would’ve strongly considered it as I’ll be only playing handheld for the next year. Normally I’m a mix of both handheld and docked though.

  • @ebertorres3026
    @ebertorres3026 Před 2 lety +1

    Great vid man.
    As for the move from Nintendo is actually not surprising at all. The chip shortage is not even clear if it will be fixed for 2022, so no reason for them to opt for a higher-tier chip or even go as far as to scratch 4k. Also, 4k on a handheld or with the capabilities of scaling when docked is absolutely ridiculous so finding a good battery and chip that can handle those things is kind of tricky. Even if you say smartphones blah blah, Nintendo as a company has never sold, or at least for the past consoles, their hardware for a loss, hence why it is so hard for them to jump and say hey we are going to enter the chip shortage race like Microsoft and Sony, which have always sold their hardware for a loss. So, I know it is disappointing that no new upscaled revision, but it was inevitable, they as a company have never cared and will never care for anything else besides money, as every other company. So, it is a smart move to offer a more "premium" hardware attacking the necessities of their player base, which lets be real the majority plays on handheld mode. So, if they are going to upgrade it will be either for the Switch 2 or past 2022, which again seems a little bit farfetched since their competition might start seeing some great selling spikes on 2023, to which they will have 6 years with the switch.

I’m also curious if the white joy-con rails from the skyward sword joycons (and others) match perfectly with these ones. It’d be annoying if they don’t.

    As someone who owns a switch already i don't think I'll be getting this one, UNLESS... they come up with a special, cool looking, zelda or animal crossing edition. Also, i like to know that white joycons might be an option for when my joycons decide to fail me 😂
