    If you're keen to play some of the best gaming titles out there like Metroid Dread, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 3D World, then this is the best Nintendo Switch for you to buy.

    I recently bought an oled. Didn’t have a switch or any other gaming console/pc before it. I’m very happy with it. Figured it wasn’t that much more money, given that most games already cost over €50, and the better screen is worth it. It’s slightly heavy but feels comfortable enough to me. The kickstand also allows you to rest it on your lap, table or any other surface while you play.
    Update 6 months later: still very happy with my switch. It's a really nice device. Haven't had any issues so far

      Thank you for saying this! I’ve been considering getting a switch, and I’m not a gamer. No pc, console, etc.. and all of the videos compare it to consoles and such (which doesn’t apply to me). Do you think it’d be worth it if I mainly wanted to play only one game? Super smash bros seems super fun and I really wanna get it

      @@sd.sophie6337 depends on how much you want that game haha. Though in all likelihood, even if you only get it for one game you're probably going to end up getting more anyways. There's quite a few options that aren't too expensive. Maybe you should have a look at some of the other games you could get and if any of them seem fun to you i'd say go for it. IMO nintendo has the best library of games for people who aren't die hard gamers.

    If you are a portable player, the lite is the best. It just fits better in your hands and if far more comfortable for long sessions and easier to travel with. If you are anywhere in between the OLED has an amazing screen and it’s dock a built in LAN port. The screen does make a huge difference. If you play mostly on TV and already own the OG switch the original switch is fine. It’s not really worth the upgrade.

    I am a collector, and own all of the Switch consoles mentioned in this video, in addition to the Animal Crossing special edition. That said, I enjoy the Switch Lite the most - its rigid design and handheld portability feels very nostalgic to my childhood of playing Nintendo handhelds. I love seeing it on my collectors shelf next to my older Nintendo handhelds, seeing how far Nintendo has come over the decades. The lite really hits my sweet spot due to it's size. I really wished Nintendo would make a translucent Switch lite from the factory, so I wouldn't feel compelled to re-shell it myself.

    I just made the upgrade a couple of days ago and am really happy about it. The battery on the OLED compared to the lite is awesome as is the screen of course.

Because what I usually do is I play my PS4 when I wanted to immerse myself on the story and a graphic-intensive game and has a heavy combat system like Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima while I play my Switch Lite when I just want a chill game and just wanted to lay down and explore without worrying about anything so my usual games will be Animal Crossing, Zelda BOTW (or any other Zeldas) and Pokemon.

And if you get warranty they have to replace for switch drift. I don't really care to play in docked mode and much prefer just playing under the covers! and the portability. For a college student its basically perfect.

    I bought an OLED about almost a month ago. It's my first Switch and everyone told me that if that was my case (and I could use the TV on my father's house as I wanted), the OLED was perfect for me. As I said, I have it for almost a month, and in all this time I only used the Dock for charging! I only have small games/musical games yet (the bigger one is Ni No Kuni, and I only own it for four days...), so the TV mode is almost too much. I probably going to play on TV mode when I get the big names, as the BOTW or Mario Kart and such (when I have the money for a 60€ game XD). But for cozyness and a nice, fun short game session on the train, it works for me. And also love the white colours and the screen. I think anime games such as the Taiko and Ni No Kuni look beautiful with the higher contrast.

    I recently purchased the OLED model for Christmas and it is an impressive system. My only caveat is I wished Nintendo would have upgraded the hardware and increased the resolution for it. Mainly the flagship games look great with its deeper contrasts and vibrant colors like Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid Dead, and etc. I know most Switch games run at a native 720p but that extra resolution and hardware bump would have been amazing. Playing Monster Hunter Rise in 60fps on OLED would have been the chefs kiss.

    Got my first switch for Christmas, we got the normal one. We got it on a special deal with Mario Kart for just over 200 meaning it was way way cheaper than the OLED for us. Personally we don't use it much handheld, only really if we are travelling so the better screen doesn't really make a difference to us. Waited all these years to own ANY switch so I am so happy with the normal one. OLED is properly worth it if you don't get the normal at a special price but anywise I don't think the better screen is worth it for how much more it is. But I don't think you can go wrong with any switch, it quickly became my favorite console. As for battery on the original, as of today it hasn't died yet and this is with me and my brother taking it in turn to play for hours at a time, so I wouldn't notice the better battery.

    I was looking at buying modded Gameboy Advance SP’s but they were around $200. I thought for that price I could get a Switch Lite. When I went to Target and saw the OLED next to the other two systems I knew that was the one I had to get. Yes it is almost double the price but with the ability to play on the tv and a bigger, better screen it makes it worth it. I plan on using it mostly for handheld but now that I have the option to play on a television I might as well try that to. Just got mine and haven’t had a chance to use it much but so far I’m happy I went with the OLED model. Maybe later on I will pick up a Lite if I can get it for a good price.

  • @MinerGT
    @MinerGT ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I've had the opportunity to use all three consoles and here's my pitch:
    1) Switch OLED is the best option as it has the most benefits with more oversized buttons and a better stand. The only downside is that the storage on this console isn't really any better than the other two but that can be easily resolved if you have an SD card or some external hard drive.
    2) The OG Switch is the option that I think is the only thing you should be getting if you can't afford the OLED. For a $50 difference, I'd still recommend the OLED model.
    3) The Lite model is what I would only give to kids or children because for anyone in an older class, I don't think it's the way to go. Less battery time, no TV Play, smaller buttons, no stand, etc. I guess the only good thing about this model is the joy-cons that you'll never lose but even that has its downsides. It's not uncommon to buy new joycons.
    If you're looking to play on the road or on the go, mostly by yourself and not really with others, just buy the Switch Lite. If you love multiplayer and do consider playing with friends, especially at home, get the OLED model. If you can't afford the OLED, the regular Switch model works just as well.
