Similar to what Sony did with the PSP, the Switch OLED is basically the Switch 3000 model. It's just an iterative refresh, not a new generation. So no, if you already have a Switch (like I do), you don't "need" to upgrade. It's a "want" thing.

Man, the OLED does look nice. And I only play my Switch handheld, so that updated screen is super tempting. Reminds me of when I upgraded from my OG 3DS to the New 3DSXL, such a huge improvement. This time wouldn't be nearly as big an improvement, though.
@anthonynycholas42303 жыл бұрын
Same deal here. I only upgraded my 3DS XL to the New 3DS XL because some games were exclusive to it (Super Metroid and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D being among them) If the OLED does the same thing and release some games exclusive to it I'm interested in i'm only sorely tempted in buying it. They might do that with Metroid Prime 4 and Breath of the Wild 2 as both are being heavily worked on and from the looks of E3's gameplay trailer for BotW 2 it might be an OLED exclusive. Potentially for Prime 4 as there's been no news since the only bit of news concerning it was that they scrapped Bandai Namco's version as it didn't meet Nintendo's quality standard and was restarting it with Retro Studios around 2 or 3 years ago who helped made the previous 3 Prime games (a *very* smart move on Nintendo's part.)

But as i rarely ever have the switch docked except when there's a game my GF wanna watch, then it will be docked. So the oled is great for that. One thing i will note, is that even though the oled is great, bright, vibrant colors and excellent blacks, that's also the downfall. In games that has night time, there's no "gray" backlit dark areas. If it's black/very dark, it's gonna be pixels that are turned off kind of black :P So in dragons dogma, it was night time when i fired it up, i could see the stars, but anything else, pitch black and couldn't see much other than the name tags of my followers lol.

Just upgraded. Generally I like it. The whole thing feels more solid. I wish they would have improved upon the joycons - making the rail that connects to the console out of metal instead of plastic. They are still a bit wobbly and I expect the wobblyness to increase over time as my previous joycons did. The screen is nice but I wish they would have added an option to choose from a colour profile like you can on all samsung phones and tabled with oled. Nintendos default setting is a little to vibrant. Especially the orange tones pop a little to much. While many others say they can't hear a real difference I like the new speakers. They are quite an improvement - although my Samsung Phone still sounds a little better in terms of stereo split or surround sound. I wish they would have made a version with non detachable Joycons and a true D-pad (well, what Nintendo call a Dpad anymay) for protable mode. I Never detach the joycons because they are just rubbish compared to a real controller. So a hybrid between the Switch lite and the OLED with Dock would have been awesome.

I suggest to buy it only if you spend most of your time in handheld since only handheld screen got the upgrades, the dock didn’t receive a big update

Just got mine and holy shit it feels and looks amazing. Something about the feeling makes it feel more well built then the lcd switch, it just feels solid, plus the littlest changes like power, volume buttons. Kickstand 200x better, any angle on mostly every surface. Then the Oled screen, like once you compare it to the lcd switch, night and day difference. Also having the screen slightly bigger is so much better for viewing. Greatest mid gen upgrade for me, my launch switch was showing its wear a lot. Screen perfectly fine but the plastics had cracks and all.

People really need to put the name of the games being played somewhere, whether it's on the screen, in the description, or in the comments. Anyway, the shoot em up being played at 2:08 is "Aleste Collection" for those wondering.

I have a day 1, 2017 switch, and as much as I've taken care of it, it's seen better days. The kickstand just falls right off and the battery dies very quickly. So I couldn't be more excited to pick up my pre-ordered Switch OLED on Friday!

I’ve owned the original since it came out or not long after. I decided over the last few days to upgrade and it’s coming Monday (16th of May). I’m very excited even though I’ve had the original for years it feels very exciting to get this. I’m going to put in so many hours into this. Probably going to use hand held more since it’s a bigger screen.

I got the Switch a couple months after launch in 2017, and kept it until Christmas last month when I got the OLED as a gift. I mainly kept my Switch in docked mode, but from time to time took it out to play in hand held mode. I wanted to get the OLED but couldn't justify it just for the bigger internal storage since I digitally buy my games. Since that's all I mainly wanted it for. But I'm happy I got it as a gift and will be using it in hand held mode more once I get a good grip.

I got the V2 switch in Late August for my kids and have it on the big TV in the basement. Once the OLED came out, we got it for the Upstairs big TV and my kids love using both. Typically, I use the Regular Switch for Docked mode almost exclusively, and the OLED for both Handheld and Docked mode, and and long trips.

I think people who say it's not worth the cost are forgetting they can trade in their old Switch and that'll cover the majority of the cost. The OLED is 350 I believe. You can trade your current Switch in for roughly 200 I think. So your really only spending 150 (these are very rough estimates I haven't looked it up) for me I freaking LOVE Nintendo so I'm upgrading. I do wish they upgraded the graphics power for sure. But I also never was complaining about graphics to begin with. Let Xbox and PlayStation battle over graphics. Nintendo is about quality of games. I love this. I'm picking mine up next week but hopefully sooner then that I seriously can't wait!!!! Team Nintendo for life!!!!

As somebody with a Switch Lite it's a much easier sell, given that 1. my handheld will be better (bigger screen, OLED) and 2. I'll get to dock it, which I have missed the potential for more than I thought I would when I bought the Lite. No way I'd get the OLED if I had the regular Switch though.

6:47 I feel like this portion of the review would've been better served by showing footage of the game(s) being talked about, rather than Link's Awakening which wasn't even mentioned! Then again, pointing a camera at the screen isn't really going to do the OLED any justice anyway so I guess it might be a moot point. lol EDIT: The glass screen also wasn't mentioned! I think that would've been great to bring up when talking about the dock and scratching the screen. The screen on the OLED should be a lot harder to scratch!
