  • After having the Nintendo Switch OLED for a year and changing, I've noticed a few things about it. Initially, I had strong opinions about some things, but time has changed that. Consider this a late-to-the-party review of the Nintendo Switch OLED.

    BRO, how do you have less than 100k subs...... like your quality and presentation are as good as the best of them instant sub from me. Congrats on hitting the algorithm right with this vid, as it looks like you are getting some recognition for your effort.
    When switch launched I was scared of it being underpowered and thought my money would be best saved for the first hardware refresh where framerates would be a little smoother. The OLED was a tad underwhelming when announced, but I was finally released of any buyers remorse. So i grabbed the preorder.

    The OLED feels like what the launch switch should have always been, polished and refined. Gone are the crappy kick stand and ugly screen bezels, plus there is a beautiful screen. Build quality has been improved a lot in general, and I'm not worried about my plastic vents cracking over time.
    Not to mention the switch in general fills a niche I have, of wanting to tote a home console to a friends house for couch co-op/party games. I keep the genki covert dock and switch in my backpack at all times. This means that if I grab a bag of controllers on my way out the door I have everything I need for the ultimate game night with the homies.... ON THEIR TV....
    TLDR: Your content is awesome, I judged the switch to harshly at launch, OLED fixes problems I feel the og never should have had, switch is great buy one

    I still have the v1 switch. I mostly play docked mode and only play handheld when the tv is being used or I'm outside. Battery was never an issue to me because I don't usually play for longer sessions. Mostly played 2-3 hours just enough how the battery lasts. I never had joycon drift yet maybe because I don't play aggressively. I think I don't need to upgrade for now. Maybe in 2 years i might but for now I'm satisfied with my v1 switch

    • @baldlyrudy

      That's great! Honestly, my V1 is still chugging along. Once my son got interested in gaming, I decided to get myself a new one and give him my V1. It's still going strong, but I did need to change the Joycons and get a new kickstand for it.

  • @hunglo9917
    @hunglo9917 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    I’ve been debating on getting one. I’ve got the original gray Switch and I don’t usually play it in handheld mode. Seeing as how the dock isn’t updated to perform any differently than the original, I don’t see much of a need in upgrading to the OLED. I also have a hunch that in the near future Nintendo will be announcing the next new and improved Switch console that will also upgrade the dock with the OLED screen. For those reasons I think I’m going to wait. I love the OLED screen, though. I have an LG C1 OLED and I will never be able to play on anything less than that. The image quality and performance enhances it offers is incredible.

    • @baldlyrudy
      @baldlyrudy  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Definitely agree. If you're playing mostly docked, then there's no reason to upgrade. I have an LG G1 and I loooooove it for gaming. Never thought I'd enjoy my viewing experience as much as I do with my G1.

    • @hunglo9917
      @hunglo9917 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@baldlyrudy I felt the same way. I can never go back to lesser model TVs now. LG is on top of their game, no pun intended, when it comes to their gaming lineup of TVs. I don’t know if any other company can compete with them right now. Do you think having a 4K output on the Switch dock would make that much of a difference in image quality for Nintendo specific IP’s because of the art style they choose to make their games in?

    • @baldlyrudy
      @baldlyrudy  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Agreed. Especially since LG is the only OLED manufacturer in the TV space. Samsung does have the QD-OLED TVs, but it's still in it's infancy. It could potentially be better in the future.
      I think Nintendo should use DLSS with Nvidia's silicon. That would make sense. And 4K technology is pretty old at this point. I'd like to believe that most people have a 4K display.
      As to whether or not it'll affect Nintendo's games is a whole different thing. I think Nintendo's priority IS the quality of the game (mechanics, ease of entry to games, high skill ceiling, etc.) I think resolution is the last thing on their mind. If anything, I think the next hardware refresh will be 720-1080 handheld/1440-4K docked with DLSS all over it.

All of the old Nintendo games and even some of the Sega Genesis library available... talk about nostalgia overload for someone that grew up in the 80's and early 90's.

However, it all changed recently when I actually saw the OLED version in a friend's house. When I was at Gamescom, soo many people were playing on the OLED...

      The only time the game uses internal storage is for patches and updates to the base game. The cool thing is that the latest versions of cartridges typically have all the patches and updates on them. Those are the ones that don't take up any internal storage (aside from save data.)

I really like the colours and pattern on joy cons. But I like the doc of Zelda and I like the back of other Oled more. I decided on splatoon Oled because imho the joycons look the best out of all Oled. While a nice dock like Zelda is great, I prefer to have the Oled with better looking joy cons. I think Sony did the designs on purpose. Making 1 switch have better dock and 1 having better looking joy cons and better design on back, makes people like myself, consider buying both. But no, I’ll buy 1, the splatoon. I’d love to have Zelda dock with splatoon switch lol

    Honestly the switch has always picked up in areas most handheld dont those being comfart, ease of use and battery, had a steam deck which i traded for this because it didn't make up in those areas and because of that i would often end up just using my pc anyway

    It's 100% worth the extre 50 bucks over the original.
    But, it was too expensive to begin with. Especially, with the likes of the Stream Deck only costing an extra 70 over the Oled Model. But, the screen on the Steam Deck doesn't deserve a place in the same room as the switch Oled.
    Plus, the Steam Deck isn't exactly small.

      The Switch joycons weren't cheap to make. There's a lot of tech packed in them. Bluetooth, IR sensor, gyro, accelerometer, hd haptics, rechargeable batteries, nfc reader. Onboard controls are much cheaper, so Valve could put that money into a more powerful SOC. And most people bought the mid tier model. What the Switch lacked in gpu power, it made up for with features, and ways to play. But most people don't see the big picture, especially PC gamers.

    I've been considering replacing my v1 switch with the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet switch because 1, It's really cute, and 2, I just really want an upgrade from my original switch. I'm not sure if I'll keep my v1 so I can have another island for Animal Crossing, or if I'll sell it/ give it away. The Oled model is definitely an upgrade from the original, however I also know that it's not really too much of an upgrade other than battery life and the look and feel of the console. I'm probably going to ask it for Christmas if I do decide to keep my original switch, however I just wish there was more of an upgraded console. Hopefully we'll get more news about a future console soon :)

    You're right, the OLED Switch worth the extra 50 dollars for new Switch purchaser. Upgrading from original Switch is okay, the slightly larger and better screen justified the purchase for me.

Just gotta be patient and the sales will be there.

      The OLED is a "Premium" purchase, IMO. By that I mean that it's not necessary to keep on playing games at the same graphical fidelity. With the OLED you get a bigger screen and a better screen. There are other things there, but they aren't as impactful to the gaming experience. If you mainly play docked, then you don't need the upgrade. If you're more of a handheld player, then the OLED will wow you.

    I've the OLED since day one. It was announced about the same time the Steam Deck was as I recall. I was excited and preordered both within the same week. Fast forward a year later... I still love it. The OLED model is a premium purchase, but the chassis is metal, not plastic, so that adds to the overall feel of quality with it. The screen looks fantastic and it's under glass, unlike the ISP screen that is under plastic. There's a few reasons the OLED is a great buy and a good upgrade if you're in the market. The 64gb internal storage upgrade is very nice too.
    A lot of people are commenting that at this point, the Switch is underpowered and needs a revision. To that I say: the Switch is the same powerful device it was in 2017 and is therefore not underpowered, and those that believe it is, just have self imposed expectations they're driving into a device that has remained unchanged. The Switch is a great platform, form and function. The games library is so massive that I'll likely never finish the games I have, let alone keep up with the games that are constantly pouring out.
    This is the first video I've seen of this nature, not to say it's the only one. I like what you touched on here. Good review and information that I would have used moving forward, were I in the market.

    Is this such a good handheld console that Nintendo can never go back to a conventional console style? 😄 Anyway.. I'm planning on getting one soon, but have been wondering about the rumors on a Pro/Super version coming out sooner than later... Should I wait or no

    • @baldlyrudy
      @baldlyrudy  ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If I remember correctly, Nintendo themselves said that the Switch form factor could be their last console, but don't take my word for it. I would Google, just to be sure.
      I still think we're going to get a hardware refresh next year. I go into it here: th-cam.com/video/mxiYedsZ83g/w-d-xo.html

      Just buy a Steam Deck, you won't regret it (except maybe for the screen which isn't an oled).

    • @digglerdiggler
      @digglerdiggler ปีที่แล้ว

      @Despicable Al steam Deck an older titles like GTA IV or Fallout 3 / New Vegas get 4 to 5 hours on the Steam Deck with a 40fps lock, no prob. Demanding titles kill the Switch battery very fast too. So it depends what you game and on the settings. Switch for me is still king for travel, due to light weight and form factor.

    In my case, I can find a "red box" switch for 240€ and an OLED switch for 340€. Considerinf this is a 40% increase in price, do you think it is still worth it going for the OLED version? I am particularly worried about the burn-in... I know the "1 year+" always on tests are unrealistic, but I don't wanna have to throw away my switch in 2-3 years if I play a lot... What's your opinion?

      I don't think is worth it. Red box version have the same battery life.

      Want RPGs? Play Fire Emblem or Xenoblade Chronicles.

    Hello. Thank you very much for your videos. These are very helpful. I have a kid 7,5 years old. what do you suggest for a present? The Nintendo Switch Oled or the Nintendo Switch Lite. My criteria is how easy is to play - considering the age - and which have the best and ''protective'' screen for Kids' eyes!!. Thank you

    • @baldlyrudy
      @baldlyrudy  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi! At that age (7.5), I'd recommend a Switch OLED. I think they'd be more careful with the console. But the Switch Lite can take a beating. It's solid and very well built. I would definitely recommend getting a screen protector regardless of which version of the switch you get though.

      Hi there! Yup. As of right now, all Switch games and their consoles are compatible. The hope within the gaming world is that the next Switch that comes out continues to be able to play all the games that Nintendo's come out with. So you can get a Switch, Switch Lite, or Switch OLED, and they'll all play the Switch games that have been released.

    I got a 2 year no questions asked replacement policy on it for $79, so screw it... I take this baby everywhere on business trips.
