I'm a truck driver so I mostly play my Switch on the go, and this was 100% a must buy for me. I don't even care about no performance upgrades, the bigger and better OLED screen is phenomenal
I play in hand held 90% of the time, and I upgraded from a switch lite! To difference is huge, and was worth it for me, as I have amassed a large library of games.
I love the OLED. Rarely played my previous switch in handheld and thus was playing it less. I literally pull my OLED out of the dock the moment I get home from work and play it every evening with sports typically on my tv. No regrets upgrading here!
Is it really that much better? I’m getting my first switch and was planning on playing in the dock most of the time so I was gonna get the Mario kart bundle for 300 and use the extra $50 towards a pro controller. But I luckily had the chance to order the OLED version today so I did, since they’re apparently hard to get. I was planning on canceling it but if the OLED screen is that good I might just keep it. What do you recommend? Thanks!
@@celticsfan7593 I would say get the OLED if you think there is a chance you’ll ever play in handheld because it is significantly better in that mode and the OLED is still really hard to find. If you will NEVER play in handheld, then the redbox Switch is totally fine. I used to play mainly in docked mode until I bought the OLED and now I play almost exclusively in handheld because I just love the OLED screen. Hope this helps!
I primarily play on the Switch screen, never on a TV. I sold my OG version to GS for $200 with their trade in offer. After copping one from a friend who bought 2, it was a no brainer. So I technically upgraded for $150 which isn't bad.
I upgraded from a switch lite. And with the bigger and better quality screen, plus being able to have a break from holding it handheld all the time, and plus being able to hook it up to a tv, makes all the difference. The sound is also better as well. The battery isn’t much different though. Definitely worth the upgrade if you have a switch lite!
it seems like a nice little upgrade for those who play the switch in portable mode more so than docked, but for docked users there doesn't seem to have been any change
@Pong Krell i use mine maonly docked, hate carrying it around without a grip case cause its kind of heavy after awhile, also the batgery life is kind pf annpiong to deal with. i also dont like straining my eyes to see the small screen
I still had the launch version switch with the crap battery. Blown away by how long the oled can go before needing a charge. That and the screen quality are definitely worth it.
This is what I was wondering, I have the very original with the crap battery. So that means the OLED has a much better battery than the original original switch?
I bought an original Switch back in 2017, didn’t care for it and sold it. Just got the Switch OLED and the entire package is far more complete than anyone gives it credit for. The bigger OLED plus build quality make all the difference.
did the same thing and i agree, i still don't like Nintendo though only reason i got it is cause i can legit bring it anywhere with me. I was gonna buy the steam deck at first but I'm not a fan of buying the first version of anything even consoles i wait till they have at least a second revision of the console or product. that and Nintendo has been in the handheld market a lot longer so.
Hoping to cop one. I like how you review gadgets. And i love watching your massive unboxing especially when arie is around. Haha. Always choosing the hard to reach boxes and always commenting about your gundam collections. Keep it up! Cheers!
I have both the original Switch and the new OLED model. I’m currently using the OG Switch docked, while I carry around my OLED on the go. You definitely don’t need the OLED model if you already own a Switch. But, it is convenient to have multiple devices where you can transfer your saves on the cloud and pick up where you left off on another Switch. The OLED screen looks pretty stunning in handheld mode.
@@lum1notryc828 It's comparatively cheaper than PlayStation Plus, for example. But, yeah, I wish if cloud saves were at least free to some extent. Maybe have a certain amount of free cloud storage (like 1 GB).
When I saw your video I went to Amazon to check. They are going for $650! That’s crazy. They are still available on Nintendo as of right now $350. We just our son the first one last Christmas. I don’t want to pay that much for another one. He switches back and forth between tv and handheld so we’ll definitely get this when he needs a replacement. One question, does the new one fit in the old dock and vice versa?
I’m so excited to get mine. I never had a Nintendo switch so I felt it was a safe bet to get the Oled (waiting for them to come back in stock 😩) but I also like that the screen is bigger since I wear glasses 🙈😂
Mostly tv player here, I had twins this year and noticed I was playing more in handheld mode. This screen is a must. The og screen sucks. No comparison
Love that I upgraded to the OLED and I appreciate the smaller details like the power button is recessed more, the volume buttons are flush and the fan grill is less likely to break like on my original Switch.
Same…but I do agree it would be horrible timing for Nintendo if they ran into supply issues. Unfortunately Switch is coming off their best year so it might be silly for them to use that weapon right now.
facts, love the screen upgrade, but without internal upgrades, the handheld version will still feel too "last-gen." Maybe once they release a switch 2.0 we'll actually see performance improvements we want. Classic nintendo
I just bought an OLED Switch model, yesterday. I'm already liking it more than Nintendo's Flagship Switch Model. I usually play in docked mode, but I will be playing a lot more in handheld mode, now.
Just ordered mine on Amazon at the original price. Also got price reduced significantly from that as well due to a hefty gift balance built up over time.
Finally got me a switch and went with the OLED happily, the LAN cable setup came into clutch because I got to download my new games half the time it would have token wirelessly
I 100% agree on the fact of don't play anyone who already has one. I played my coworkers oled and went back to my screen and was devastated, luckily gamestop is boosting the trade ins so I sold them my switch and just went to best buy and paid the difference which wasn't much at all
I don’t feel the need to upgrade personally, especially since I actually have mine docked most of the time. The visual experience won’t really make much a difference for me personally.
I have one and I can say if you play handheld a lot it’s defo worth the buy. When you play a docked a lot it isn’t worth it apart from the fact that Nintendo claims they have fixed the drift on the new joycons. They added a little bit of padding under the joystick.
I freaking love the Oled. Just got one. Some games look marginally better but then there are games like Rocket League that look like completely different games. It’s that much of a difference!
Just bought my OLED and I can say after using it for a few days I couldn’t go back to either the v2 or lite it’s a huge difference the screen is so much better the colours pop so much more. the larger screen especially with the much smaller bezels is very noticeable and the slight extra weight increase and feel of the OLED makes it seem more high quality. I love the OLED just like my OG vita to me it’s the definitive switch
thr switch oled is a must have.. the screen just gives games a whole new dimension.. I was sceptical at first but once I had the OLED there was not going back.. on the old non OLED screen you can see the pixels on the screen however on the OLED pixels are not visible and in fact picture quality also appears to be sharper as a result.. Overall sell you old switch and get the OLED..
I ended up getting the lite, since this was sold out, i could've gotten the original but considering the small upgrades it wouldn't have been worth it for me. I've enjoyed playing dread on portable but i would like to see it on a screen.
Started Metroid Dread on the original switch, lucky enough to grab an oled partway through. Totally worth the upgrade for me. Handheld and also table top with a pro controller are just much better experiences. My only complaint is the OLED feels heavier so the hand cramps come sooner
How is the game? Just bought a OLED one for Christmas for my little girl, but Super Metroid is my all time favorite so I was considering getting a little something for myself too.
@@elburden the game is awesome. good for experienced and new metroid players. my only beef is that it only takes most people around 12-15 hours to not just beat the game, but to get 100%. Hoping for DLC in the future.
My first switch was the OLED. I’ve been wanting to get a switch for a long time. I thoroughly enjoy it. Played a bit of Pikmin 3 for the nostalgic trip. Raced a few courses in Mario Cart 8, another nostalgic trip with Rainbow Road. Hell. I saw Minecraft and Diablo on the store too. As for right now? I love it. A ton. Again. First switch. I have a PC, I have a console too. But damn this thing is fun!
As someone that had the v1 switch. Then used the Oled. The Oled is extremely beautiful and lovely to use. It's honestly a no Brainer if you don't have a switch, and if money isn't a problem just get it. The screen alone is worth it.
Had to buy it after playing on my bro’s! Put my OG one up for sale that same day I got the OLED and got $200 system and dock only👌. Now is the perfect time to sell the old one since all switches are out of stock everywhere!
Just ordered the same one you have, I have the first gen but my wife stole it from me...😂 She wanted to play Pokémon Sword, so I bought the expansion pass as well...now she won't give it back..but I'm excited for the oled version
I ordered my OLED and will arrive the day before or the day of the new Pokémon game! I've had the original Switch and going to surprise my brother with it when my OLED arrives.
Yooooo, I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. I traded my old Switch for $240 in gamestop store credit, and had $10 extra in store credit. I wound up paying only $108 out of my own pocket for the Switch OLED.😅
Did you compare the speakers side by side? Most reviewers including digital foundry say there is a difference, also heard the motion is better on this screen. Double the storage and better battery life for people who got the original switch in 2017/2018 with degraded batteries by now.
Thank you for the update! You keep it so real! .. I Subscribed! Just because I have both and you advised the best and real qualities, you don't seem bought out buy the company. Quality review!
COP. Pro tip, Gamestop takes and pays high dollar for regular Switch trade-ins. Trade in your old switch for store credit and apply it to the purchase of a Switch OLED. Super cheap upgrade
After watching this I think I will get one . Im a truck driver OTR and i do have a ps4 in my truck and tv but sometimes there is no time and I need to connect and reconnect everything . When I’m done I take the ps4 but then it does takes time and space . Definitely I will give it a try and more portable compere to the ps4.
I'm so excited. My wife wanted my Switch so she surprised me with the OLED yesterday. I can't wait to get all my games downloaded and play on that gorgeous screen!
My gf wanted a switch after playing her brothers at her dads house so i ordered a preowned v2 for 280 and when I got to gamestop, i seen them putting these on the shelf. Immediately returned the preowned without leaving the store and bought one. Looks way better than the v2
Don't waste your money. I chose it because I liked the way that it looked but I hardly use it. In my situation, I already bought the main first party games on Wii U so I don't get to play Zelda or Mario Kart etc on Switch. This is why I hardly use mine. If you don't have these games, I guess that you'll end up using it more than me because you don't have a Wii U but there's not many games that you will be playing on Switch. From my experience, all third party games look and play better on PS4.
@@jasons890 All I have is a ds lite. The last games I bought for it were Pokemon black and white but nowadays I only play brain age once every few months. The system is over 12 years old and it still holds a charge surprisingly well. But that new Zelda and Animal Crossing look tempting. But I already have a major backlog of like 30+ games on my ps4 that I haven't even touched yet so maybe you're right and it would be a waste of money. Which is sad because a bestbuy near me finally had them in stock today smh.
I have never played a switch and not much a gamer. I happened to find it at the store and bought it. Now wondering if i should open it or sell it. Everything is getting harder to find.
there is a setting on the switch that helps to prevent burn-in. it takes a very long time of being on the same screen to see even the slightest amount of burn-in so i don't think that it's a big problem unless you're playing games for hours on full brightness for days straight that have the same exact background hahaha
I went to my local Target today and they had 48 of them! 24 of each color 🤯 needless to say I bought one real quick. It’s awesome. Huge upgrade from the switch lite I’ve been playing for the last two years.
One of the biggest reasons I didn't buy an original switch is because the bezels made it feel already dated... Many apple products are the same way like the new iPads.
I was able to trade in my switch at GameStop for $260 ($220 without promo at time) so I think it was definitely worth the upgrade since it was really old
Lol I have an OLED and I still prefer my Switch Lite because it's more comfortable. Yes the screen is awesome but my Playstation Vita OLED screen is almost the same and it came out 10 years ago. This OLED screen also costs $10. Does it makes sense to dish out another $349 just for the screen? If you use headphones, you won't care about the better speakers. If you buy a 32gb microsd card, you won't care about the increased storage and if you don't use table top mode, the kickstand isn't relevant either because you will never use it. I consider things like this before I buy any product because I don't want to waste my money on features that I'm never going to use anyway. Even though I have an OLED, I still don't think that it's worth $349. You won't get to notice the improvements if you play in handheld mode. Despite the games looking good on the OLED screen, the colors look better on a 4K TV. I tested the OLED against a 4K TV and it looked way better on the TV. If that's the situation that you're in and you only play on a TV, you're not going to benefit from the screen and it makes it pointless to get the OLED when you can just get a regular Version 2 Switch instead. Since the internals are the same, the experience that you will get with a regular Switch will be exactly the same experience that I have on my OLED.
thank you for this perspective. I want to save $150 and get a Lite for a mere $199. I like the lightweight handheld which is more "nintendo" than a big heavy OLED. Same resolution too! I need comments like yours to help justify the Lite and make me feel less bad about not getting the expensive one (OLED)
Just bought one yesterday and haven't played it yet. I have played my buddy's original switch though and just from me setting up I love this OLED version much more
Depending on the type of gamer that you are, you might not need the regular or OLED. The Lite will be just fine. This is my honest experience with it. I also went from the Lite to the OLED. I had a little buyer’s remorse when I got the OLED because the TV mode wasn’t that much of an improvement and the motion controls were not that great either. On top of that, none of my friends and family are into gaming. Whenever I play, it’s just me and nobody that I care about is watching me. For introverted gamers like myself that prefer their peace and privacy, we don’t have to care about anyone watching us and we don’t need it to display on a TV. Whenever I play my console games, I prefer do it with a VR headset instead of the TV because I don’t have to worry about anyone else that wants to watch. For people like us, the Lite is just fine because it’s just for us and not for anyone else. Even after getting the OLED, I still feel that the Lite is better for handheld mode because of comfort and portability. Since some of us feel that it’s too big for handheld mode and none of our friends/family are into gaming, it’s pointless to get the regular and OLED if you don’t care about motion controls and displaying on a TV. Then again, everyone isn’t like me and they enjoy the motion controls. Personally, I don’t like it and I think that it’s finicky. I prefer the standard controls. If you have friends and family that you want to watch, you can get the regular or OLED. I prefer playing alone and since I don’t have to care about anyone else that wants to watch, I would have been just fine if I stuck with the Lite and didn’t get the OLED. Games are also meant for a mobile screen because it looks blurry and stretched out when displayed on a television. You can get the regular or OLED but when you do, you’ll only get a newer appreciation for the Lite as a handheld. It’s still better in so many ways. You’ll see what I mean💯 If you just want something that displays on a TV, the 2017 Switch goes on sale for under $200 and plays games the exact same way. Since the games don’t push the graphics that much, performance is almost the same. You’ll just have a worse battery life but if you keep it docked all the time and use the Lite for Handheld mode, the battery life doesn’t matter.
once the actual PRO comes out then ill get one if not im just gonna wait for the next nintendo console to come out. the Nintendo how it is now is not worth it too me at all. i dont care what anyone says
Just got the switch it was worth the upgrade i stopped playing my switch completely cause i didnt like the small bezels off the old switch and colors were blah but now this oled screen killing it with the size and the new backplace is for sure better if you like playing the switch handheld i highly recommend no need for a monitor or tv anymore
I got one for $508 cdn after tax. It wasn't for me to open and play but this is a gift for my nephews so they can take it home and play. I was curious if the oled might have some better quality but it did not, according to some reviews, the specs are all the same except the weight and storage. A little disappointing but a bit satisfied. I guess my nephews won't care until they start growing up.
Sold my old switch for 290$ at GameStop store credit then bought the new OLED and also used my ps5 GameStop 50$ gift card so I only payed about 67$ for the protection and screen protector
At the end of the day, it makes zero sense why Nintendo would release a pro version when they do not want to get anywhere near Microsoft and Sony prices. Affordability and party games are their bread and butter.
I'm a truck driver so I mostly play my Switch on the go, and this was 100% a must buy for me. I don't even care about no performance upgrades, the bigger and better OLED screen is phenomenal

Me personally having still a perfectly good condition regular switch I wouldn’t personally buy the OLED version unless you have no switch.

Started Metroid Dread on the original switch, lucky enough to grab an oled partway through. Totally worth the upgrade for me. Handheld and also table top with a pro controller are just much better experiences. My only complaint is the OLED feels heavier so the hand cramps come sooner
That last statement is very true lol. I’ve been playing Hades a lot on the OLED and DAMN it makes my hands hurt on the first run
How is the game? Just bought a OLED one for Christmas for my little girl, but Super Metroid is my all time favorite so I was considering getting a little something for myself too.
@@elburden the game is awesome. good for experienced and new metroid players. my only beef is that it only takes most people around 12-15 hours to not just beat the game, but to get 100%. Hoping for DLC in the future.
just got it for christmas, this is my first ever switch so i’m satisfied.
I got mine for my birthday and its worth the change imo
Just the new screen itself is amazing
My first switch was the OLED.
I’ve been wanting to get a switch for a long time.
I thoroughly enjoy it. Played a bit of Pikmin 3 for the nostalgic trip. Raced a few courses in Mario Cart 8, another nostalgic trip with Rainbow Road.
Hell. I saw Minecraft and Diablo on the store too.
As for right now? I love it. A ton.
Again. First switch. I have a PC, I have a console too. But damn this thing is fun!
I’m still debating if I should get it for Xmas is it worth it?
@@jscrilly4090 that’s up to you. But my personal experience with the 12 hours or so? Yeh, worth it.
@@Zman44444 hey man where did u buy yours? Because I didn't even realize they were pretty hard to get😂

As someone that had the v1 switch. Then used the Oled. The Oled is extremely beautiful and lovely to use. It's honestly a no Brainer if you don't have a switch, and if money isn't a problem just get it. The screen alone is worth it.
Had to buy it after playing on my bro’s! Put my OG one up for sale that same day I got the OLED and got $200 system and dock only👌. Now is the perfect time to sell the old one since all switches are out of stock everywhere!
⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️⬆️Thanks for watching and commenting, send me a direct msg I've got a prize for you.
Just ordered the same one you have, I have the first gen but my wife stole it from me...😂 She wanted to play Pokémon Sword, so I bought the expansion pass as well...now she won't give it back..but I'm excited for the oled version
I ordered my OLED and will arrive the day before or the day of the new Pokémon game! I've had the original Switch and going to surprise my brother with it when my OLED arrives.
Got mine at GameStop. Traded my old switch for $250 credit towards the OLED model. Totally worth it
Yooooo, I did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. I traded my old Switch for $240 in gamestop store credit, and had $10 extra in store credit. I wound up paying only $108 out of my own pocket for the Switch OLED.😅
Did you compare the speakers side by side? Most reviewers including digital foundry say there is a difference, also heard the motion is better on this screen. Double the storage and better battery life for people who got the original switch in 2017/2018 with degraded batteries by now.
Thank you for the update! You keep it so real! .. I Subscribed! Just because I have both and you advised the best and real qualities, you don't seem bought out buy the company. Quality review!
COP. Pro tip, Gamestop takes and pays high dollar for regular Switch trade-ins. Trade in your old switch for store credit and apply it to the purchase of a Switch OLED. Super cheap upgrade
Also if you primarily play docked [on an oled TV in my case] anyway, it's not worth the upgrade.
After watching this I think I will get one . Im a truck driver OTR and i do have a ps4 in my truck and tv but sometimes there is no time and I need to connect and reconnect everything . When I’m done I take the ps4 but then it does takes time and space . Definitely I will give it a try and more portable compere to the ps4.
I gotit at the og price at my gamestop 2nd to last one too let's go, I'm loving it
I'm so excited. My wife wanted my Switch so she surprised me with the OLED yesterday. I can't wait to get all my games downloaded and play on that gorgeous screen!
Love your reviews and thank you got this video! I’m definitely going to upgrade!
My gf wanted a switch after playing her brothers at her dads house so i ordered a preowned v2 for 280 and when I got to gamestop, i seen them putting these on the shelf. Immediately returned the preowned without leaving the store and bought one. Looks way better than the v2
Love your honest reviews.
I agree !
Nintendo kills it with controls and mechanicals. I luv the oled screen.
The best portable console ever for sure
I’m wondering why do I always watch these interviews right after I buy something instead of before I buy it 😂
I just think you missed it has 64gb of storage, not sure if you mentioned it. Thank you for making me want this now lol!
I want this badly but I have no idea what I'd play. I'm usually on ps4 and I generally don't play on the go. But this handheld looks beautiful.
Don't waste your money. I chose it because I liked the way that it looked but I hardly use it. In my situation, I already bought the main first party games on Wii U so I don't get to play Zelda or Mario Kart etc on Switch. This is why I hardly use mine. If you don't have these games, I guess that you'll end up using it more than me because you don't have a Wii U but there's not many games that you will be playing on Switch. From my experience, all third party games look and play better on PS4.
@@jasons890 All I have is a ds lite. The last games I bought for it were Pokemon black and white but nowadays I only play brain age once every few months. The system is over 12 years old and it still holds a charge surprisingly well. But that new Zelda and Animal Crossing look tempting. But I already have a major backlog of like 30+ games on my ps4 that I haven't even touched yet so maybe you're right and it would be a waste of money. Which is sad because a bestbuy near me finally had them in stock today smh.
I have never played a switch and not much a gamer. I happened to find it at the store and bought it. Now wondering if i should open it or sell it. Everything is getting harder to find.
you should play it in my opinion youll prolly like it
How does Nintendo deal with burn in issues with OLED?
there is a setting on the switch that helps to prevent burn-in. it takes a very long time of being on the same screen to see even the slightest amount of burn-in so i don't think that it's a big problem unless you're playing games for hours on full brightness for days straight that have the same exact background hahaha
I went to my local Target today and they had 48 of them! 24 of each color 🤯 needless to say I bought one real quick. It’s awesome. Huge upgrade from the switch lite I’ve been playing for the last two years.
Great review, couldn’t have asked for a better one. Thanks!
One of the biggest reasons I didn't buy an original switch is because the bezels made it feel already dated... Many apple products are the same way like the new iPads.
I was able to trade in my switch at GameStop for $260 ($220 without promo at time) so I think it was definitely worth the upgrade since it was really old
Hey man, I got the same comment from that account, is that a scam or a real thing?
@@enriquenieves1675 he only has one subscriber this is for sure a spam
@@2222paulr thanks for lookin out!
Lol I have an OLED and I still prefer my Switch Lite because it's more comfortable. Yes the screen is awesome but my Playstation Vita OLED screen is almost the same and it came out 10 years ago. This OLED screen also costs $10. Does it makes sense to dish out another $349 just for the screen? If you use headphones, you won't care about the better speakers. If you buy a 32gb microsd card, you won't care about the increased storage and if you don't use table top mode, the kickstand isn't relevant either because you will never use it. I consider things like this before I buy any product because I don't want to waste my money on features that I'm never going to use anyway. Even though I have an OLED, I still don't think that it's worth $349. You won't get to notice the improvements if you play in handheld mode. Despite the games looking good on the OLED screen, the colors look better on a 4K TV. I tested the OLED against a 4K TV and it looked way better on the TV. If that's the situation that you're in and you only play on a TV, you're not going to benefit from the screen and it makes it pointless to get the OLED when you can just get a regular Version 2 Switch instead. Since the internals are the same, the experience that you will get with a regular Switch will be exactly the same experience that I have on my OLED.
thank you for this perspective. I want to save $150 and get a Lite for a mere $199. I like the lightweight handheld which is more "nintendo" than a big heavy OLED. Same resolution too! I need comments like yours to help justify the Lite and make me feel less bad about not getting the expensive one (OLED)
Just bought one yesterday and haven't played it yet. I have played my buddy's original switch though and just from me setting up I love this OLED version much more
Thanks man, you’re helping me decide which Switch to get as I’m upgrading from a Lite.
Depending on the type of gamer that you are, you might not need the regular or OLED. The Lite will be just fine. This is my honest experience with it. I also went from the Lite to the OLED. I had a little buyer’s remorse when I got the OLED because the TV mode wasn’t that much of an improvement and the motion controls were not that great either. On top of that, none of my friends and family are into gaming. Whenever I play, it’s just me and nobody that I care about is watching me. For introverted gamers like myself that prefer their peace and privacy, we don’t have to care about anyone watching us and we don’t need it to display on a TV. Whenever I play my console games, I prefer do it with a VR headset instead of the TV because I don’t have to worry about anyone else that wants to watch. For people like us, the Lite is just fine because it’s just for us and not for anyone else. Even after getting the OLED, I still feel that the Lite is better for handheld mode because of comfort and portability. Since some of us feel that it’s too big for handheld mode and none of our friends/family are into gaming, it’s pointless to get the regular and OLED if you don’t care about motion controls and displaying on a TV. Then again, everyone isn’t like me and they enjoy the motion controls. Personally, I don’t like it and I think that it’s finicky. I prefer the standard controls. If you have friends and family that you want to watch, you can get the regular or OLED. I prefer playing alone and since I don’t have to care about anyone else that wants to watch, I would have been just fine if I stuck with the Lite and didn’t get the OLED. Games are also meant for a mobile screen because it looks blurry and stretched out when displayed on a television. You can get the regular or OLED but when you do, you’ll only get a newer appreciation for the Lite as a handheld. It’s still better in so many ways. You’ll see what I mean💯 If you just want something that displays on a TV, the 2017 Switch goes on sale for under $200 and plays games the exact same way. Since the games don’t push the graphics that much, performance is almost the same. You’ll just have a worse battery life but if you keep it docked all the time and use the Lite for Handheld mode, the battery life doesn’t matter.
Ngl the Switch Oled looks clean but is it really worth the upgrade from the original Nintendo switch? The answer is yes 😂👌🏾
I agree ! For those that are contemplating … I guess the main difference is just the OLED
once the actual PRO comes out then ill get one if not im just gonna wait for the next nintendo console to come out. the Nintendo how it is now is not worth it too me at all. i dont care what anyone says
Just got the switch it was worth the upgrade i stopped playing my switch completely cause i didnt like the small bezels off the old switch and colors were blah but now this oled screen killing it with the size and the new backplace is for sure better if you like playing the switch handheld i highly recommend no need for a monitor or tv anymore
Should I get this from the start, or get the regular switch?
Get the OLED..
That Gundam shirt is 🔥🔥🔥 Judd!
I got one for $508 cdn after tax. It wasn't for me to open and play but this is a gift for my nephews so they can take it home and play. I was curious if the oled might have some better quality but it did not, according to some reviews, the specs are all the same except the weight and storage.
A little disappointing but a bit satisfied. I guess my nephews won't care until they start growing up.
Which console do u recommend to casual play with friends in 2022? Series x or a switch?
Man the view from your office/work space is epic.

Sold my old switch for 290$ at GameStop store credit then bought the new OLED and also used my ps5 GameStop 50$ gift card so I only payed about 67$ for the protection and screen protector
I never had one and I’m gonna buy this for the first time since having a Wii
One thing they could have done was add an extra (Dual) SD card slot to make it cheaper for people to add SD card capacity.

The thing me and my friend that we like is the white on it white looks good on it
At the end of the day, it makes zero sense why Nintendo would release a pro version when they do not want to get anywhere near Microsoft and Sony prices. Affordability and party games are their bread and butter.
Affordable? That’s a big no no when $60 a pop is affordable to you
I’m worried that next gen switch will bump up to 400-500 50 bucks on oled was pretty high don’t you guys think
Ps I don’t know where you’re buying your games but def not affordable
Don't you wanna see Mario and Link in 4K?
@@jonnnn4895 yeah when games are $70 for other consoles.
0:12 i like that Zeta shirt and that lancelot figure
I had the original switch didn’t like the screej to dark but I just ordered the Oled one for simplely better screen
I'm still debating if I wanna get it or not
My GameStop was running a thing with pro memberships, so I sold my go switch for 260 and then basically got the upgrade for 100 bucks.
yea the screen is all good, but does the con still drift?

I love my switch OLED got it last year way better than original switch l’ve noticed the difference
