  • The Nintendo Switch OLED has been out for a couple of years, but I just recently bought it to play some more Pokemon, get into Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and also some new Mario games that are coming out later this year. Here are my thoughts after comparing it to the regular Nintendo Switch and whether you should wait for the Switch Pro.

      Agreed, I bought a switch oled because I wanted to play Totk at the best quality out right now on the market for the switch, so while it may have been a dumb decision to buy an oled before the Switch 2, I'm still happy with my purchase amd love the oled, especially since I mostly play in handheld anyhow

    I've been rockin my launch switch and primarily played it docked. Ended up getting the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet edition OLED and now I primarily play in handheld mode. Colors just pop out more making it so much more enjoyable to play in handheld mode. Love my OLED and can't wait for the next gen!

    • @nerdgrafx
      @nerdgrafx  Před 6 měsíci +2

      This is exactly why the OLED switch is my first recommendation, if you're playing it handheld even 1/4 of the time, it just makes sense. The screen is so good and with Nintendo first party titles being really vibrant, I feel like they complement one another

    I'm really torn, because I already have a switch lite and I really want the experience of playing docked and having the oled screen. I would also be able to put my switch to more use with being able to have joy-cons and such for more playability options. But just knowing that a new and improved switch could come out is nerve-wracking. It wouldn't be that I wasted my money, but knowing that if I had waited a little longer I could've gotten something a lot better.

    • @nerdgrafx
      @nerdgrafx  Před 7 měsíci +2

    Great and very well done vid Sir earned a like and subscribe. Question though there are these somehow believable rumors about the next Nintendo console/handheld and I've been going back and forth at our local gameshop thinking if I will buy the Zelda edition Oled. In your opinion is it worth buying despite rumors of a "Switch 2"?

    • @nerdgrafx
      @nerdgrafx  Před 8 měsíci

      Thank you! And it really depends on what you are looking for, if you already have a switch that you like and can wait up to a year, you should wait. But if you like the design of the oled Zelda switch and it's the one you want, I would say go for it. The new ones most likely won't come out with a Zelda skinned one from the start

    I'm still debating if I should buy the oled switch or just wait for the switch 2 that might be announced in march. I recently sold my v2 switch with some games for 290$, so im stuck with a v1 switch that I bought from my friend for dirt cheap so I can save my acnh and pokemon data. To be honest, I am not a fan of the v1 screen, it's more darker and just eh conpared to my old v2, not to mention its all beat up. I found a pretty good deal in my opinion on offerup for a near perfect condition Oled switch with 7 games for just 300$. I might buy it but just the thought of a switch 2 maybe being announced around the corner is holding me back a bit 😞

Getting back roughly what you paid for it is one reason I try to buy used tech as much as I can

    I wanted a newer console so about a year ago I bought the Mario Day regular Switch bundle was going to get the OLED but didnt come with any games and costed more at the time! I mainly play mine docked so really not a big deal i got the OG version. Im glad I got the Switch over the XBOX and PS5. Only downfall im mad about is that theres no new WWE games on the Switch. I got AEW Fight Forever and its a great game as well as so many others especially the Sonic and Mario games as well as the Expansion Pack online with tons of old skool greats! Best part is Hulu and CZcams also work on it. Great versatile console that started all these newer copycats.

    @Jeymez Před měsícem

    well considering the price is still what it is, that should tell you that there's no Switch 2 just yet. now we know that's not always the case, but if your familiar with Nintendo's history, they tend to announce a price drop for an existing console. they did it with the 3DS, the Wii U did actually lower a little bit in the year when they first talked about the Switch.
    so they'll probably do something similar with the current Switch, according to IGN 2025 is likely the target year. if that does happen, then we should hear something this year.

    • @nerdgrafx

      @nerdgrafx yeah i just made a video talking about it, but it was more about what they might call it, and if it'll be backwards compatible. that's my only interest, i don't really care if the Switch 2 is less powerful than the PS5, even if it's only PS4 Pro level. i hava a funny feeling it'll be slightly more powerful than the base PS4 but a little less than the Pro. but my thing is the Switch library, which im sure they'll address that part. i would prefer physical, but digital wouldn't surprise me. i think Nintendo should look at the GameCube and what they did with the Wii, you can play GameCube game atleast on the white Wii. the 2011 black Wii but that's an exception. Switch games are small, so it's not like they'd have to do much to put a slot somewhere Switch would go in and that'd be Nintendo's way of addressing backwards compatibility.
