I recently upgraded from the launch model to the oled switch and I’m pretty happy with it. If you only play in handheld it’s definitely worth the upgrade in my opinion.
I have a launch model switch, and I always detach the joy cons, but then I lose them. I was originally planning to upgrade, but after that experience, I just don't think its worth it (at least for me, or someone who can't keep up with things) Plus on top of that it comes with MORE components I cant keep up with, so I'm probably just gonna get a Xbox. I had an Xbox One S in 2017, but I spilled water in the vent by accident so I got a switch. I was originally thinking of getting a Xbox Series X or S, but my first ever gaming device was a 3DS, so i decided to stick with my roots. (ik clown me for not having or wanting a Playstation)
I love my OLED Switch! I was hesitant on getting one since the upgrades were minimal, but after using it for hours, I made the right choice. 90% of my game time is in handheld mode, and it’s worth it.
I had both the original and recently bought the OLED. As other has started, if you play in portable mode most of the time, it is a nice upgrade. With louder speakers, slightly larger beautiful screen, and sturdier kickstand, make the OLED version a decent upgrade.
I have a V2 Switch and recently bought an oled. The screen on the V2 is ok, but the oled's screen is vibrant and the speakers are a lot louder. Will be selling my V2 very soon
I have the OLED and I really like it, just feels better overall and the screen of course is nice. But unless you’re really into graphics and pay attention to the small details, it’s really not that huge of a difference unless you have the og switch side by side. Your eyes adjust pretty quick. Like many reviewers have said I’d probably only upgrade from a launch model or if I’m buying a Switch for first time
I wouldn't buy the OLED EVEN if you're getting a switch for the first time bc of the fact that the MK8 Deluxe bundle and individual retailer bundles still exist in abundance Switch games ain't cheap 😅 much as less MK8 Deluxe for a game that came out so long ago.. so your buying a switch for the first time your spending $350 on an OLED just to not have any games So you're really spending $400 just to even play a noteworthy game, whereas if you get a normal switch bundle with MK8 Deluxe you can pair that with Odyssey and BOTW for that $400 price point The OLED price point is very deceptive, I know.. and until we get noteworthy bundles with the OLED it'll stay that way
I upgraded from a switch lite to a Oled and the difference is definitely more noticeable. Now I play my switch more then anything else for the time being. It's pretty great 🔥
I have had the OG Switch, Lite and now the OLED. I loved each one of them for the games library that grows so quickly thanks to so many cheap and fun games. I loved the size of the Lite but lamented the lack of ‘dockability’ - but I understood the raisin d’être of its inclusion in the line up. However, by far, my favourite has been the OLED. Yes, the screen looks great, yes the internals are the same but the build quality and reduced screen bezel size make the thing feel and look more sleek and more modern. But make no mistake, the big reason to get a switch is the games library which is just fantastic…
I use tabletop mode a lot with my switch and the new kickstand on the OLED model is a game changer!! It's so much more stable and I don't need to worry about the whole thing collapsing with a minor shake. The OLED screen is also great, especially for those with a lot of dark scenes. I played the Hong Kong Massacre on both my old and OLED switch and it;s just so much easier to see things on the OLED. If you use your switch in any mode other than TV a lot & can afford it, I would say upgrade. but if you don't/can't, you aren't missing out on too much.
The battery life increase from the launch switch is insane. However, I do notice that the fans kick on more and that the joy cons don’t seem as secure like my launch model. Was worth the upgrade for me personally
I purchased one before Christmas and wasn't sure if I should as I play primarily docked. That being said, the oled makes a huge difference and I now play about equally between docked n hand held. Battery life is also better.
Upgraded mine from the original 2017 V1 to the OLED a couple of weeks back (despite saying I wouldn’t) IMO it’s been worth it. Screen it’s beautiful. Battery life is better too and those two things alone were worth it. I now find myself playing it in hand-held mode a lot more (in bed for instance) as I always played docked before.
Just recently got the OLED model, along with a 1TB microSDXC card, a screen protector and a handful of games. One of the most fun purchases I've ever made!
@@iphone3gsdivine Lexar PLAY 1TB microSDXC. I didn't want to spend 1.5 as much on a SanDisk. I've read about this card, it works well for people, specifically for Switch.
I've recently purchased the Nintendo Switch OLED and I'm excited to get it setup tomorrow. I'm mainly going to use this console in handheld so getting this model was an easy decision. I'm new to the channel but what an incredible review!
Switch! The new oled screen looks great and I am a big fan of the black and white color colorway. But I am not upgrading from my old one since I play it docked 90% of the time. Great video as always!
I've been wanting the Nintendo Switch for a while now and I'm glad I made the jump and purchased the OLED model. I love the fact that I can relax and experience great games in handheld mode. I'm new to the channel, brilliant Review. 🙂
Fantastic info on Nintendo Switch OLED version. I am not a gamer but a parent doing research on what platform to get my 9-year-old son for his birthday. Mainly plays Minecraft and this video as well as the one on the XBox S were extremely informative. Best out there. Very professional.
Just bought a Switch OLED so now I have all 3 consoles. Gotta be honest I’m more excited about this than my XSX and PS5. I’m 36 years old and Nintendo games do hit different. Bought Mario Odyssey, Mario 3D + Bowser Fury, Zelda TOTK and Kirby forgotten land
I'm 40 still love gaming. I quit shooters years ago though and love more relaxing games ...Zelda BOTW . Just got a PS5 and 3 games ...Horizon, Ghosts of Tsushima and newer Spiderman game . I also have a xbox one X with Red dead 2 . Going to finish Zelda BOTW and then play Horizon or Ghosts Tsuhima next
Thanks for your honest review. I own the second version of the switch and two switch lite. I like the Oled screen and the kick stand but it's not enough for me to upgrade. If Nintendo decides to upgrade the hardware on the next Switch, I'll upgrade. But till then, I'm fine with the Switch. Great vid 👌 👍.
@@Jdb63 Bought the Turquoise first . Then the blue one came out and had to have it. Reminded me the Nintendo Cube color.( I know it's not the same color ).
I'm on the same boat man i have the launch one and still works as new and is in mint condition(i take care of my stuff), most of my gaming is done docked but from time to time i do some traveling, however i'm having a hard time deciding if i want to upgrade to the oled model to enjoy the bigger and better screen and improved battery life on those times traveling, or just wait for a proper Switch succesor call it Pro or whatever, decisions man.
I think that you should either upgrade to the OLED and only use that, or sell the turqoise Lite, use the blue Lite for handheld and the V2 for docked mode.
As some one who plays in handheld for 99 percent of the time I love my OLED I’ve had the og switch and the Pokémon lite so it was a big upgrade for me my advise is if you play mostly in docked mode then buy a regular switch it’s really not much of an upgrade if you put a glass screen protector on the regular switch it feels the same. If you’re always in hand held then it’s a must or if you want the white dock mine is still in the factory bag because I just don’t use it on the tv just my opinion
2:14 Anyone who expects 4k on a handheld device is expecting too much. 4k at that size is pretty much pointless unless you play with it really close to your face and just adds cost at the expense of battery life. 1080p would have been nice though
I’m happy I upgraded. The better screen & battery life are worth it to me. I had a launch version prior to the upgrade. Also, you can generally recoup a good chunk of the cost selling your old console. That being said the old one is still superb so if you’re sitting on the original or need to save, you’re still getting a great console.
I got this switch from Christmas of 2021, it’s the best, I upgraded from a switch lite from when I was 8 to having a oled switch, it’s bigger than than the lite and louder too, It’s depends if you want the oled tho
As a day one owner of the switch. The upgrade was 100 percent worth it. I think the switch looks a lot better in handheld and although I went through a docked phase, with this new oled switch I play 80 percent handheld. It looks incredible.
I got the OLED Switch as my first switch in the first week of november and I couldn't be a happier man, that screen looks GORGEOUS! But after buying the pro controller I can't play handheld as much as I did before...
I love how your content quality remains consistent. You have a top tier set-up. I have recently got my hands on a series x which I can't be happier with. But also would love a switch OLED, but i don't think it's worth upgrading unless you don't own a switch. I will wait for the ps5 slim as I'm sure it will come soon. One day I might re-engage myself with a tech/EDC youtube despite the saturated market. Keep up the great work.
I had 2 of the first ones and sold them. When the oled one came out, I only got it because I just got the LG c1 oled TV. If anyone don't got one, then go for oled for sure. If you got one don't worry about the oled one because it's not worth the upgrade.
I played exclusively handheld so I originally bought a lite, upgrading to the oled is a great upgrade, bigger and more pretty screen , build quality improvement and it’s nice to occasionally play Mario kart or something with a few mates on the tv
I bought a Nintendo Switch OLED as I’ve wanted one for a while now and what console to get back into gaming. I bought The Legend of Zelda Edition with a controller and 9 games. Fantastic review by the way! 🙂
I upgraded from the OG switch to OLED SWITCH version. Love the screen, find myself playing much more handheld than I used to. Definitely recommend Zelda BOW, Mario oddyssey, Mario 3d all stars to name a few.
I wanted to purchase my first ever console but I didn't know what to choose what they offer etc. And your page especially this video made me realize what I wanted the switch and why I wanted it... 🇯🇲 Thank you looking forward to more content
I think I’ll probably be picking up an oled model. I play a lot of handheld mode over tv. It’s nice to play and have a movie or tv show in the background while playing.
@@juliolovestacos I got an OLED model, and damn! It looks so good! Playing Hades on it looks so good, people on TH-cam are right; when in person the colours just pop, if you were on the fence of getting an OLED, I’d get one. Sell your old switch on eBay, marketplace or where and make most of your money back.
Biggest thing me and my partner noticed: OLED is better for larger hands due to the screen size. She can't comfortably hold my OLED and I can't comfortably hold her OG Switch. Works well for us!
I have the original Switch model that I bought back in December 2017 which I still play nearly every day. I've tried out the OLED model a few times & it blew me away how much better the screen looks. Looks more like 1080p or even greater than that. I would buy one, but I play my Switch Docked around 90% of the time, so it's not worth it for me right now unless my Switch breaks or own the Lite model.
I just picked up the Switch OLED never had a Switch, screen is gorgeous. Love the portable factor of it. Great video, more Switch content would be a great idea!!
I’ve been happy with my Switch OLED, and at least in my situation personally, I was able to better justify getting this one as I was able to sell my older switch to someone close to me so that they can start experiencing switch and also play online with me :)
I have not bought the switch since it first came out in 2017 but I’m considering finally getting the OLED switch after watching your TH-cam video, which was very informative and helpful.Thank you so much as I gained a lot of knowledge from this video 👍🏼
No one mentions that the oled switch has a “vibrant” color filter automatically turned on and it makes everything look over saturated. The same color filter could technically be applied to the og switch so it’s a little misleading.
You can turn off that if you don’t like it super vibrant. The OG switch doesn’t give you that option. Or are you saying they could add that type of filter with a firmware update??
@@symboltherapper well yeah that option could work on the og switch if Nintendo added it. But when people see the new one and think it’s the oled panel itself, it’s a little misleading because it isn’t. A lot of the reviews are unknowingly praising a cheap color filter
I never owned a Switch so picked up the OLED at the beginning of this year, and have had a blast with it. Never docked it, just used for handheld, in fact my dock didn't even come out of the plastic wrap it came in. If you're all for the portable then the OLED is the boy.
I personally went for the regular V2 switch cause I knew I wanted the ACNH version that came with the game. The joy-cons are my favourite out of all and I love the back details and I don't really mind the screen size since I haven't really used the OLED one before and don't plan too Plus add on a sale that was going on for bonus games if ya bought that version and I guess it was a no brainer for me lol
I'll stick with my original switch as I play docked most of the time on my LG C1 :) If I played more on the go would definitely snag this OLED model though.
One of the best things about the switch apart from the switch itself is that they include the additional things right out of the box. e.g. the dock. Other companies would probably charge quite a bit for some of these things
@@icedoutgames4051 This doesn't really go along with the idea of a switch Because cables aren't very user friendly Remember that Nintendo, is not like other gaming company, they don't target gamers only, they target everyone including families and kids and non gamers So the dock for a device that's built to be switched easily and comfortably is necessary tbh, and a good choice.
@@johannesziaether3916 yh ik they r not that kind of company and that's what I'm trying to point out if I wasn't clear. Whatever the case is they r including it and it's nice.
I had my v2 for more than 2 years now. Never really planned to get the OLED since there's really no drastic difference between the two but when Nintendo released a Pokemon version, I instantly bought one lol.
Upgraded from the v2 to the OLED and I love it. I play mostly handheld so the bigger screen and display was worth it to me. I’d recommend monster hunter rise as one of your switch recommendation asks
I got the oled switch in November and I really enjoy it And I mostly play in handheld mode which the difference from my switch and my friends switch (2017) and my brothers switch (2019) is crazy for handheld mode and the stand is really good too. The metal on the back also makes it feel more premium
Got my Lite on a crazy good used deal for €100 and that's about as much as i'd spend on a Switch. For the €349 asking price i'd no doubt prefer to just get a Steam Deck for €50 more. Emulation of countless platforms Switch included + Steam library + Epic library + Xbox Game Pass... What's not to like?
@@ghostlegit I mean the Switch uses eMMc memory aswell. This was more of a comparison between the two if anything. Save money when buying the switch. Or don't buy one at all and emulate it with the deck. 64gb + SD card slot should suffice.
@@ghostlegit Probably will struggle at first but i seriously doubt the Yuzu devs won't make a custom tailored version for the deck when this is probably the best emulation device someone could have in 2022. At 720p resolution it'll be possible eventually.
As we are at the cusp of 2022’s end, is the OLED worth a purchase? Or is it best to wait longer until a newer version enters the market? (Switch owner since late 2017)
A lot of people try the Switch & dislike it, so they sell them on craigslist, eBay etc. cheap sometimes with accessories. It is cheaper than buying one new in store & sometime come with games
Imo it’s a little disappointing that they didn’t upgrade the cpu, gpu, ram, or something to improve the processing, resolution, or battery. It’s still a great console and it’s only a little more than a normal switch. I am though happy with the 64gb and the stand on the back.
just got one not too long ago, and after watching several videos of the same usual comments about the oled, I can confirm that its true. there is a clear difference between the two as far as visuals and brightness goes. for example I didn't realize how dim my old switch was until I compared it to my new oled. is it worth buying? well I had money to burn so I used it on the oled, its a decent upgrade but if you're hesitant on spending 350 and already have a switch then I'd say just wait on the next gen switch, whenever it releases.
Switch OLED is a good system and I like it but for people that don’t have money to burn, they can take it from someone like me that owns all systems. The short answer is NO. It’s not worth it for someone that can only afford one console. Why would someone that can only afford one console pick the Switch OLED at $349 in a world when the PS5 exists for $399. This is mind-boggling because I have a Ps5 and Switch OLED. Trust me when I say that it isn’t even in the same league. If you take the HD Rumble on the Switch for example, it doesn’t even come close when you compare it to the Ps5 DualSense. For people that have no Switch, the regular and Lite are still good options for people on a budget because it allows them to play all games and save some money. In some countries, the price of the OLED is twice the price of the Lite. This price isn’t justified to me because it has exactly the same hardware, except for a $10 OLED screen. I own a Switch OLED and I still don’t think that it’s worth it at $349. I actually had a little buyer’s remorse after purchasing it and I still love the Lite.

I bought a Nintendo Switch OLED as I’ve wanted one for a while now and what console to get back into gaming. I bought The Legend of Zelda Edition with a controller and 9 games. Fantastic review by the way! 🙂
I upgraded from the OG switch to OLED SWITCH version. Love the screen, find myself playing much more handheld than I used to. Definitely recommend Zelda BOW, Mario oddyssey, Mario 3d all stars to name a few.
Great suggestions, thanks.
Can I just say that the switch oiled looks extremely good next to the PS5
Got a Lite and thinking of upgrading... seems like the OLED is certainly worth it
I rly wanna switch lite is it worth it?
I wanted to purchase my first ever console but I didn't know what to choose what they offer etc. And your page especially this video made me realize what I wanted the switch and why I wanted it... 🇯🇲 Thank you looking forward to more content
I think I’ll probably be picking up an oled model. I play a lot of handheld mode over tv. It’s nice to play and have a movie or tv show in the background while playing.
Broooo this is exactly what I do to
@@juliolovestacos I got an OLED model, and damn! It looks so good! Playing Hades on it looks so good, people on TH-cam are right; when in person the colours just pop, if you were on the fence of getting an OLED, I’d get one. Sell your old switch on eBay, marketplace or where and make most of your money back.
Biggest thing me and my partner noticed: OLED is better for larger hands due to the screen size. She can't comfortably hold my OLED and I can't comfortably hold her OG Switch. Works well for us!
I have the original Switch model that I bought back in December 2017 which I still play nearly every day. I've tried out the OLED model a few times & it blew me away how much better the screen looks. Looks more like 1080p or even greater than that. I would buy one, but I play my Switch Docked around 90% of the time, so it's not worth it for me right now unless my Switch breaks or own the Lite model.
I just purchase one yesterday and it should arrive today. So excited.
Just watch a few of your videos and really enjoy your content. Thanks for taking the time to do such detailed reviews. Love the filming too.
Thank you for your comment 🙏
These reviews are better than most other review videos. I hope your channel grows more ✊✊💯
Thank you 🙏
this is one of the best oled reviews out there!! keep the switch content coming!
Thank you 🙏
“OLED Switch”, was very hesitant about getting one, but I think it’ll be perfect for mobile gaming.
Best review I've watched so far. Definitely going for the OLED switch 😊
I just picked up the Switch OLED never had a Switch, screen is gorgeous. Love the portable factor of it. Great video, more Switch content would be a great idea!!
Thank you! Great buy too.
I’ve been happy with my Switch OLED, and at least in my situation personally, I was able to better justify getting this one as I was able to sell my older switch to someone close to me so that they can start experiencing switch and also play online with me :)
Great idea too!
@@SpawnPoiint thanks!
Yeah I got an oled the other day and its insane how much better it looks than the 2017 model
I have not bought the switch since it first came out in 2017 but I’m considering
finally getting the OLED switch after watching your TH-cam video, which was very informative and helpful.Thank you so much as I gained a lot of knowledge from this video 👍🏼
Thank you 🙏
Did you upgrade? I have the original as well and thingking buying the oled
If you are upgrading from the Nintendo switch Lite then I'd definitely recommend it
No one mentions that the oled switch has a “vibrant” color filter automatically turned on and it makes everything look over saturated. The same color filter could technically be applied to the og switch so it’s a little misleading.
You can turn off that if you don’t like it super vibrant. The OG switch doesn’t give you that option. Or are you saying they could add that type of filter with a firmware update??
@@symboltherapper well yeah that option could work on the og switch if Nintendo added it. But when people see the new one and think it’s the oled panel itself, it’s a little misleading because it isn’t. A lot of the reviews are unknowingly praising a cheap color filter
@@Hamood113 for real?
OLED Switch! I’ve been trying to decide whether to get a switch since it came out 4-5 years ago, I’ll probably decide once the Switch 4K comes out 😂
I really wanted you to review the switch in your professional style! Great video!
Thank you Lee!
I never owned a Switch so picked up the OLED at the beginning of this year, and have had a blast with it. Never docked it, just used for handheld, in fact my dock didn't even come out of the plastic wrap it came in. If you're all for the portable then the OLED is the boy.
I personally went for the regular V2 switch cause I knew I wanted the ACNH version that came with the game. The joy-cons are my favourite out of all and I love the back details and I don't really mind the screen size since I haven't really used the OLED one before and don't plan too
Plus add on a sale that was going on for bonus games if ya bought that version and I guess it was a no brainer for me lol
I recently bought a Nintendo Switch - OLED Model and not gonna lie it’s pretty good and worth it buying!
This guy never disappoints. He carries tech youtube, keep it up SP👏
Mines suppose to be delivered at my apartment today, can't wait to try it out, otherwise I do have a the Nintendo switch lite tho
I'll stick with my original switch as I play docked most of the time on my LG C1 :) If I played more on the go would definitely snag this OLED model though.
A C1 is so overkill for a switch lol wtf.
@@HungAF I mainly play the Series X on it so not overkill at all.
@@Wafflenobs switch is better then Xbox shut up
As a fellow voice over artist can I just say the narration in this is pristine. Nice work and yeah I'm buying this for my kids.
One of the best things about the switch apart from the switch itself is that they include the additional things right out of the box. e.g. the dock. Other companies would probably charge quite a bit for some of these things
Actually that would be a typical Nintendo move
Well it's a "switch" so the dock is an essential part of it
@@johannesziaether3916 well they didn't have to include it. They could of just given a cable but they didn't and gave a whole dock
@@icedoutgames4051
This doesn't really go along with the idea of a switch
Because cables aren't very user friendly
Remember that Nintendo, is not like other gaming company, they don't target gamers only, they target everyone including families and kids and non gamers
So the dock for a device that's built to be switched easily and comfortably is necessary tbh, and a good choice.
@@johannesziaether3916 yh ik they r not that kind of company and that's what I'm trying to point out if I wasn't clear. Whatever the case is they r including it and it's nice.
I would go for the OLED Switch. Actually just bought one mere hours before I saw this video. Good one mate.
All I want to do is play Mario Kart now ..
I had my v2 for more than 2 years now. Never really planned to get the OLED since there's really no drastic difference between the two but when Nintendo released a Pokemon version, I instantly bought one lol.
Upgraded from the v2 to the OLED and I love it. I play mostly handheld so the bigger screen and display was worth it to me. I’d recommend monster hunter rise as one of your switch recommendation asks
I just purchased one and played Pokemon Scarlet and Violet on it. I enjoyed it.
Always love this guys gaming tech reviews 👌
Thank you!
If you already have had a switch since 2017 or 18 this is a must buy. The quality is much higher. And it feels metallic.
If you’re still unsure if you want one for yourself, just buy one for me and I’ll let u know.
I got the oled switch in November and I really enjoy it
And I mostly play in handheld mode which the difference from my switch and my friends switch (2017) and my brothers switch (2019) is crazy for handheld mode and the stand is really good too. The metal on the back also makes it feel more premium
We need to see a New Sofa review!
haha, it's a year old now. Maybe I'll show it in the next room tour...
I think I am getting this Switch for Christmas, I'm super excited to play on it. The OLED model with the white joycons looks so sleek and beautiful.
Got my Lite on a crazy good used deal for €100 and that's about as much as i'd spend on a Switch. For the €349 asking price i'd no doubt prefer to just get a Steam Deck for €50 more. Emulation of countless platforms Switch included + Steam library + Epic library + Xbox Game Pass... What's not to like?
399 sounds good but ur gonna spend more than that replacing the Emmc memory. Personally u should have got the 256 gb or 512.
@@ghostlegit I mean the Switch uses eMMc memory aswell. This was more of a comparison between the two if anything. Save money when buying the switch. Or don't buy one at all and emulate it with the deck. 64gb + SD card slot should suffice.
@@dorayaki5494 ur not gonna be able to emulate the switch on the steam deck. As powerful as it is. The cpu can't handle yuzu
@@ghostlegit Probably will struggle at first but i seriously doubt the Yuzu devs won't make a custom tailored version for the deck when this is probably the best emulation device someone could have in 2022. At 720p resolution it'll be possible eventually.
The Switch OLED model looks amazing 👏👏👏
As we are at the cusp of 2022’s end, is the OLED worth a purchase? Or is it best to wait longer until a newer version enters the market?
(Switch owner since late 2017)
Best Switch Oled video ever! many Thanks from Brazil !!!
Hey! Don’t forget that Jesus Christ loves you and he died for you have a blessed day❤
Went in to get a switch and I'm happy I got the OLED it's amazing
Here in the states OLED switch is near impossible to get still.
I just got the Nintendo Switch Oled today and its so good, I loved it
A lot of people try the Switch & dislike it, so they sell them on craigslist, eBay etc. cheap sometimes with accessories. It is cheaper than buying one new in store & sometime come with games
About to buy the OLED Switch
switch sports going to look amazing on the oled screen! the green colours pop
i know you've probably heard this before but you sound like David Tennant and its so delightful
This dude still using his phone to make these videos. That is amazing man. Quality is impeccable.
Thank you!
*_Been waiting for this review, there aren’t many out there. Great review by the way, clear and easy to understand_* 👌🔥
Imo it’s a little disappointing that they didn’t upgrade the cpu, gpu, ram, or something to improve the processing, resolution, or battery. It’s still a great console and it’s only a little more than a normal switch. I am though happy with the 64gb and the stand on the back.
I bought OLED model some days after release, and also my first switch
just got one not too long ago, and after watching several videos of the same usual comments about the oled, I can confirm that its true. there is a clear difference between the two as far as visuals and brightness goes. for example I didn't realize how dim my old switch was until I compared it to my new oled. is it worth buying? well I had money to burn so I used it on the oled, its a decent upgrade but if you're hesitant on spending 350 and already have a switch then I'd say just wait on the next gen switch, whenever it releases.
Switch OLED is a good system and I like it but for people that don’t have money to burn, they can take it from someone like me that owns all systems. The short answer is NO. It’s not worth it for someone that can only afford one console. Why would someone that can only afford one console pick the Switch OLED at $349 in a world when the PS5 exists for $399. This is mind-boggling because I have a Ps5 and Switch OLED. Trust me when I say that it isn’t even in the same league. If you take the HD Rumble on the Switch for example, it doesn’t even come close when you compare it to the Ps5 DualSense. For people that have no Switch, the regular and Lite are still good options for people on a budget because it allows them to play all games and save some money. In some countries, the price of the OLED is twice the price of the Lite. This price isn’t justified to me because it has exactly the same hardware, except for a $10 OLED screen. I own a Switch OLED and I still don’t think that it’s worth it at $349. I actually had a little buyer’s remorse after purchasing it and I still love the Lite.
Dope Review…. I’m Ready For One Now 🔥🔥🔥🔥
the oled switch looks amazing and can't wait to get one, i haven't played Nintendo games since the gamecube.
just ordered Oled switch
I upgraded from my switch I got 2 years ago, and it honestly was completely worth it for me since I mostly play tabletop/handheld anyways!
I got one a few weeks ago. My daughter is about a year old. Looking forward to some Mario Cart time in SNES, N64, and 8!
I'm going to get a switch oled for Christmas this year and I'm looking forward to it.
Just got one! Definitely happy with it!
Worth it?
Been looking at upgrading the switch thanks for this review 👌👌
No worries, thanks for watching.
The OLED switch looks so good. I'm still rocking a Wii U.
