The older switch comparison for the screens being weird shades is normal, Nintendo uses 3 to 4 screen providers to keep up with demand so some switches weirdly look different than others… I’m curious how they’re handling production on the OLED though!
Lol remember the 3ds fiasco? People literally bought, to check, and returned the inferior ones. Smh. Theres cons to being dumb enough to use multiple providers. They should hit up samsung and call it a day. Sht, apple does usually.. samsung makes their own as well as theirs. Nintendo just being cheap imo, more than meeting demand. Realistically this unit wont be flying off the shelves. Only hardcore gamers will re-buy, everyone else will be a 'maybe' bcz it will be their new and only system
One word SAMSUNG
@@gustavojoserodriguez7475 i know there was rumors samsung would but noone knows for certain. However, the guy was saying multiple. Unless its multiple JUST for the lcd panels. I can see that happening. Otherwise i KNOW samsung if they have involvement, isnt going to split orders between bunch of companies. They stick to the quote and demand and all that. And another reason it wont vary.. is the fact that i bet you nintendo wont even sell 20mil of these switches throughout the switches life. This uear will be maybe a few mil or 5mil max and beyond that it will trickle sell. Here and there for a few years more until switch2. Even ps4pro and xbox pro didnt sell that great. Thats why you cant see any hard numbers, separately, for sales.
@@DjStiv3 you do realize that a company selling a product in the millions actually makes that product a fairly huge success, right? You’re acting as if 5 million units being sold is weak, even if Nintendo only sold 1 million OLED consoles that easily makes it a success 😂
@@DjStiv3 doesn't LG make Samsung's (and everyone's) OLED screens?
0:55 Did he know the INTRO he was going to have before this scene? lol
Legendary opener.
It’s called “the magic of editing”.
@@Raidraptor_-_Ultimate_Falcon Sorry I should rephrase: I meant something like "with that smile and little pose, was he aware of what was preceding this scene and how satisfyingly dramatic it would be?"
He Did SMILE BIG Into The Intro .😃
i did and i didnt lol
@@WulffDen L . O . L .
Dude, That was the smoothest intro I’ve seen in a long time. Crushed it.
YES
I highly agree
Agreed
So Nintendo decided to make a Nintendo switch oled, instead of giving it a much better computing power. I have a 55inch 4k oled Samsung TV that I plug my switch on. I need more power, NOT OLED ON THE HANDHELD WHEN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL PEOPLE WILL USE A TV TO PLAY GAMES IF THEY WANT BETTER DISPLAY!
Really? I don't see what was so smooth about it.
I use handheld mode a bit more or as equal as docked. I currently have the V1 Switch since launch and it's running okay but it starts to heat up a lot more quickly than before, effecting my gameplay. I was going to get a V2 prior to the OLED announcement for better battery but upgrading to the OLED makes sense for me. I have a $250 GameStop Gift Card which helps!
Repasting my v1 helped a little bit with the temps, but I'm noticing it's still warmer than it was at launch. My battery life isn't what it used to be either, but that's to be expected as well.
According to what I've seen, if you trade your v1 Switch to GameStop you'll only have to pay $150 for the OLED model.
@@aarondery source plox?
why have a $250 gift card when you could just have $250?
The v1 is the most valuable switch out there. (If unpatched)
It's is basically the only switch that can run homebrew and emulation. They go for a lot of money.
I've been enjoying the OLED a lot after upgrading from a Lite.
As someone who plays strictly in portable mode, the Lite was a great. The only issue being when the joy con drift started. Once it got bad enough that calibrations wouldn't fix it, I was stuck between a rock and a hard place. In the end, I choose to upgrade. That larger screen and vivid display is worth it.
This is exactly my position rn! Thinking about upgrading also because then with the OLED or the regular switch you can replace or repair the joycons rather than the whole device kinda bein busted
@@ava8510
I'd recommend upgrading. Having played on the OLED for a while, the improved screen and increased size is well worth the extra 50. Having more internal storage is nice, too.
It’s tempting me. Still got my launch switch. The better battery, screen and the facts that it’s not all beat up might be enough
Instead of Oled..i bought the beautiful zelda joycons, a sleek dockable TomToc grip, and a nice TomToc hardshell case for my normal switch. Looks legit as hell now.
I had a launch Switch, so I didn’t even have the larger battery or slightly better screen from the recent V2 Switch. I even sold my old Switch towards my preorder for the OLED so even cost wise the upgrade has been so far worth it for me and I can’t wait to pick it up.
aren't the launch switchs really valuable since they can be hacked? hope you got good money out of it
I also have the launch Switch. I pre purchased a Switch OLED a couple days ago so I can’t wait to get it
Same
@@jairorobo6488 outside of the people that do it for piracy ( a large amount ), In my opinion, the greatest benefit is being able to overclock the CPU/GPU to max speeds, even when in hand-held mode. The Switch's CPU only hits max speeds when on a loading screen. It makes games like Hyrule Warriors much more playable. And it's nice to be able to copy a game to your internal storage or micro-SD card, so then I can let my son play the game too, while I'm playing mine. Sure, that's technically piracy, as I didn't buy 2 copies....But for singe player games, I'm not going to buy 2 copies of a game. I don't have the money to buy a 2nd copy of a game, just because my 8 year old is interested in it for a few hours.
@@jairorobo6488 same here, I don't advocate to hack and get all the games for free, but you can do neat stuff keeping it on the gray areas after hacking lol, all the antiparicy stuff just creates really annoying limitations and I feel like I rented the hardware and software rather than it being mine ahhah
3:39 you just address my biggest concern outside of battery life. This is how come I was hoping for a 1080P screen because I can already notice the pixels on the current Switch model. I'm a pixels peeper by nature, so I will definitely and naturally notice the difference.
wooooo yeahhh babyy thats what ive been waiting for woooooooooo
Nice one😂
Moisty Moment
Wrong jesus guy lol
Cringe
That’s what it’s all about !
opening sequence was really nice!!! Thanks for the vid! OLED screen looks so crisp and bright!
I really appreciate how you did this review
It's very smooth and relaxing
Everything is straight forward and exceptionally easy to understand
This is one of the best reviews I've seen for anything
You went in depth in detail into everything, even showing me things I didn't even know about before
I know this is late, but thank you
Never get tired of hearing "Mærio"
🤣
bob's smile at 0:54 caught me off guard
Lmfao
I love how many videos we got from you this week, but I'm sure you are exhausted. I hope you get some good rest and that you don't have to do this many videos in a week anytime soon!
thank you sir. it's been quite an exciting week for sure 😬
Just seeing you do the cheesy smile after the intro for a few seconds to give that comical awkward moment made my day man. I love you dude your contents the best haha
I have a launch model that will be going to my daughter when I pick up the OLED model on the 8th. I play mostly in handheld so it makes perfect sense to get the better screen and battery life.
I was pretty sure I was gonna get the upgraded switch model, but I'm still really happy with my Lite. I think this switch is perfect for people who havent bought any switches yet. Still really surprised Nintendo didn't upgrade anything with the specs. It seems like theyre doing the same mistake they did with the wii. Where they were afraid to update the model
Nintendo knows its consumers will buy anything. Like the expanison online with N64/Sega they are making people pay more for no upgrades
This is the switchxl, now in some years will come the new switch.
But i hope they made like new docks that enhance the original switchs with a little more power(this oled docks dont do that yet)
@@ManuelRoddy What would an upgraded dock do? Overclock the processor or include an eGPU? I don’t think either seems realistic for Nintendo.
my guess the conductor shortage is the main reason.
@@wnemethvargo284 Yea Thats what Ive been thinking too
Nice to watch a video about this that's not overhyped. It looks fine, but honestly the most exciting thing about it really is the kickstand.
The Lite is still my favorite model. It feels so much better.
I wish they made the Joy-con buttons soft like on the lite, had to get used to the same old clicky buttons after I sold my lite. Might have to pick this one up but I gotta see that OLED display in-person. Recommend others to do so as well since I think TH-cam probably doesn't do it justice.
god, me too. its been over a year since i got my normal switch after giving my lite away and i still miss those damn soft buttons. and THE D-PAD.....
What do you mean? Are you saying the joy-con buttons are different than the Lite buttons? :O I thought they were the same. I also have a Lite and prefer the soft buttons, not clicky. I pre-ordered an OLED and now I'm worried...
@@luisdireito dont worry, youll get used to them, but yes. the lite has softer face buttons. some would say theyre bad and "mushy", but other people like them. the ones on the normal switch are clicky. dont know about the OLED as i wont get my hands on one anytime soon but thats probably the case as well
We have both and I personally like the clickiness of the OG switch. That said the dpad on the lite is amaziing. L, R, ZL, and ZR for me have better clickiness on the switch too. My switch lite feels really cheap in comparison.
@@LUPITHE0NZ they use the same joycons as the OG switch so I doubt anything has changed
I saw Kevin's first, and now yours. I'm interested in seeing how the Joycons hold up this time around, as well as other 3rd party devices, so here's hoping you guys come in clutch.
Still...I'd be lying if I said a crisper screen wasn't tantalizing, as I do most of my Switch gaming in Portable Mode...
They're the same joycons
@@MobikSaysStuff Yeah, saw that a couple of months in. Still a big "oof", but that's why I stuck with the Hori's for a good while.
As hard as it was I cancelled my pre-order for the OLED model (well I put in a request to Idk if I did it on time) no because I have a problem with it but because I already have an og that works perfectly fine and two Switch lites, that I don’t even need (though I play the lite a lot and take it with me on my travels). The OLED looks amazing but apart from slight differences it’s just not worth getting it if you already ave a perfectly fine working one. When there is a new model with upgrades in how it runs in both handheld and docked then I’ll make a purchase
I have felt the old school switch was the Beta, and now their pushing out the real Switch. Although I agree with you no point to fix something that isn't broken. I'll wait the Pro Switch or better Chip version
Can always Waite for next year model.
So Nintendo decided to make a Nintendo switch oled, instead of giving it a much better computing power. I have a 55inch 4k oled Samsung TV that I plug my switch on. I need more power, NOT OLED ON THE HANDHELD WHEN YOU KNOW DAMN WELL PEOPLE WILL USE A TV TO PLAY GAMES IF THEY WANT BETTER DISPLAY!
@@ianlyne4417 I don’t know why you’re here yelling at me about it, contact Nintendo directly with your complaints
@@ianlyne4417 Reality is that it is cash grab and go with this new switch and scalpers are having a field day with it too and is it worth upgrading if u have a switch already? NO!
Yeah, I pretty much only play in docked mode, but when I do play in handheld, I'm usually casually gaming and not too critical of the screen in front of me. Very thorough, though. I really appreciate a good analysis like this.
If they do a switch pro or similar system in the next generation model they should incorporate screen casting for when you can't dock the system. Yes screen casting is not ideal but imagine taking your switch on the go and being able to play on any screen you have available if you wanted to. Could be huge for games like Mario kart at a friends place or on vacation.
Needed up pre ordering the white at launch and can't wait! I have a V1 launch day switch that works fine but I have it modded to run other stuff. Will be nice to have 1 for hacking and 1 original.
This was such a helpful review, I was debating whether to trade my v2 switch for the OLED model (costing me £84 to do so) but considering I play it in TV mode more often than in handheld. I'll definitely stick with my current switch for now, especially if there are no TV mode upgrades aside from a LAN port that I won't use.
Thank you for posting a more detailed breakdown of the OLED. You mentioned more details than Nintendo's official unboxing video.
That close up oled comparison shot was a legendary decision. Great video!
Oh to be a TH-camr with inner connections that permit access to hardware far earlier than mere mortals...
lol you know how much crap youtubers have to deal with? It cant be worth it.
I have a launch Switch that stays at home, and a Switch Lite. I really like the Lite's increased portability. Pass on this, but I do agree that it's great if for someone that does not already have a Switch. What I would like to know, is if I could somehow make a FrankenSwitch with the original Motherboard, and the new OLED Switch.
Don't you worry, a Switch Lite OLED is coming. I would be willing to bet my left foot on that. My guess is Spring 2022 or potentially September or October 2022. Most likely the latter. So hang on to that Switch Lite and your money for now if you want ab OLED to play in portable mode. Of course this is just my educated guess... You have to admit though, it's what makes logical sense really.
They're probably going to bait people with this OLED to test the waters and see how many people are willing to spend $50 more for OLED. Then later on if this model does well they will definitely release an OLED Lite model.
@@ecm86 Doubt it. The last few versions that released were in the Switch firmware over a year before they were launched, if another one was gonna be released any time soon, it'd already be there.
I thought the oled was going to be extremely meh, but it looks like there's alot more little changes to it.
Not gonna buy it, but it's better than I thought.
I wish they make a better switch lite but not oled
The switch lite has less portability? What do you mean? It has no removable controllers, cant dock to charge,
I already knew everything you said in this video but enjoyed every second of it. You are soo good at making videos!
The vibe your videos always have is awesome
Glad I wasn’t alone in nicking the mesh when opening the kick stand. It’s not a huge deal but it does bug me a little.
You guys keep churning out entertaining and quality content so fast-the comparisons shots look great. Even though I just got myself the v2 Switch and definitely _won't_ be upgrading, I can't wait to binge all of the OLED content you post as soon as it releases. :D
Upgrading? I’m confused the oled switch isn’t an upgrade…. Same internal specs with a worse screen.
@@challengerdrakava1198 While I agree with you on the internals, I don't think it's too far-fetched to call it an "upgrade" and have people understand what you're talking about. Especially with some of the other better changes. Not worth buying a whole new Switch for, but I sure wish I had that kickstand or those bezels. :')
@@tiffaniet Meh for the screen it's good but not good enough for an upgrade.
For the kickstand you can just get one off of Amazon.
that close up pixel comparison was the best OLED presentation ive seen!!!!
Thanks for making this video. Really helps put things in perspective on if I want to buy a more expensive switch or not
Never getting rid of my launch Switch. Those old models can run custom firmware. And it's so nice, being able to force the CPU and GPU to run at max speeds all the time, instead of only having the CPU hit max speeds when on a loading screen. Can even force max speeds when in hand-held mode. So you can get docked performance while handheld. Yeah, drains the battery more...but it makes games like Hyrule Warriors actually playable.
From what I heard a lot of the stuttering actually comes from slower ram? At least according to modern vintage gamer which he makes games on the switch. So I figured he'd have good insight.
same, even if I buy an OLED I'd still keep my launch Switch for custom firmware, though I've been too scared to actually put custom firmware on it, and I've heard you can't play online games when you hack it, since you'd get banned.
@@RiceBowlS3 Not only that some switch games don't load on a custom firmware switch
Same
@@ghoster37 nope
They all work fine(except streaming atm) and you can play online if you do it right and use the proper forks
Its everything you want it to be and more
Eh, not enough for me to even remotely consider upgrading. Got my second switch last year in February and that thing still looks brand new. Now, if it had new internals that would improve upon performance… that’d be a different story.
I agree. Honestly wish Nintendo made a proper pro model instead of this.
Also themes and a less boring UI would be nice
It’s not even an upgrade… the screen has the same ppi it’s a more blown up image so you can see those fat pixels. You get a better image on the lite.
Instead of Oled..i bought the beautiful zelda joycons, a sleek dockable TomToc grip, and a nice TomToc hardshell case for my normal switch. Looks legit as hell now.
So who’s this console for as most fans would already own a switch 🤷🏾♂️
@@riccccccardo anyone that hasn’t bought a switch yet. It’s great for them. But I think it’s a waste of money if you already have a working switch
I like how honest you are, way to go never change!
Fantastic video, it's super cool seeing how much bigger the screen is on the new model. Tiny editing thing, but the audio background noise removal effect is kinda distracting, I would rather you just left your microphone recording alone
I'd love to have one but I just totally can't justify it. My switch never leaves the house. Plus I'm saving for the Steam Deck.
Yes
Steam deck is definitely 100x more worth it considering that the steam deck is just 50$ more than the old switch
Oled*
Definitely getting the OLED.
Also.. light theme? You are a monster good sir
I play mostly handheld and had the OG March 2017 Switch. The OLED is a game-changer. The stand is actually usable, and the battery life is insane. Walmart inexplicably sold it on preorder for $299 too. No regrets whatsoever.
The video editing was dope!
I think I might wait for a special edition OLED switch, I started with the launch model before switching over to the pikachu eevee edition and old my launch one to my Roomate. So.. I think upgrading it when a special edition comes out, after most of the hype is gone is what I will be doing. I just hope the special editions fall under the themes I want! I certainly wouldn’t be opposed to a gen 4 switch that had both copies of Pearl/Dimond, like they did with let’s go. Then it would be worth it to me. Until then, meh.
The intro was honestly better than the actual trailer for the oled switch.
The intro song was enough for me, great pick 🤣
love the Macro shots to show off the LCD Pixels.. You Win!!!
Damn it looks cool but without drift fix and any drastic changes, I wouldn’t trade in yet
There's a fix that was posted in IGN and Bob tried it, too.
Just a point of correction: The speakers of the Switch OLED are the slits on the front of the screen. The mesh areas on the back you keep referring to are actually the the air intake vents.
I knew, I knew where that intro slapper was from. I just couldn’t remember where. Thanks for the reminder after the intro.
At 0:36 we can see the OLED display is not Pentile, but actually S-Stripe RGB. Pretty cool!
The full white one looks better more feel like it’s new
It really does that's why everyone wants that version
But the colors are better...
I honestly don’t play that often in handheld mode.If I ever break my screen or something then yes I would probably go for the better one🤷♂️
"You're playing a video game" literally though😂😂 love this channel
just consistently blown away by this channel's production quality, wowzers
Glad to know there's a standard mode, I saw a lot of photos of it with oversaturated colors and got a bit worried.
im waiting for either a really nice looking special edition OLED or a OLED lite version. if either of those things come out im gonna be real tempted (and i still use my launch switch so im more inclined to go for a lite as a 2nd console)
So how about that splatoon 3 OLED
Thank you for this
I started having doubts for pre-ordering the white version after getting shit on for months by everyone I know because they didn’t “improve the specs”
Seeing the actual product in the whole “new system” shine helped reaffirm my purchase
Great comparison! I ended up preordering today (bigger screen sold me). I will probably still keep my v2
i honestly might get this, even if i already have a launch switch, because it is definitely getting beat. and the dock looks really nice lol
For people who DON'T have a Switch, get this thing. If people still play DOCKED most of the time, the OLED is pointless
that lan port and 64gig internal isn't tho
i use CAPITAL letters to SOUND smart
@@synthw1431 yeah but I just bought a 128gb SD card
@@RaheemCream good for you then
@@calebg144 So I should write oled instead?
I sold my V1 switch awhile ago around, actually I’m pretty sure I got a V2 after that but sold that as well also because they didn’t have any games really back then that I wanted. But I just bought an OLED. I’m so happy with it too. Looks so good in handheld mode. Plus the other things they added and changed were needed. Like the kick stand… sooooo much better then the V 1/2 switches.
Sir may I say I love the background music you have in your introduction
I was gonna finally get myself a switch and then i saw this oled model so i decided to wait till october 8th to get my switch. Perfect timing for me to buy a switch.
Did you get it
@@luisbautista7638 Hell yea, i got it like a week after the 8th
i wonder if future special editions will be OLED-only, old style-only, or both. i can't imagine they'd bother to do two version though, so it'll probably be only one, and my money is on OLED
The Switch Lite
That intro track was beyond flame 🔥
The realist, most honest review on TH-cam. I appreciate that!
Great video. What was left out is that if you play portable, and you have a Day 1 Switch, this is a worthy upgrade too. The battery is way way better. Is the same as the V2, BUT funny enough it lasts more. Because of OLED Tech. Black Pixels turn off entirely instead of being lit with the color, and it's overall more energy efficient. That's why, despite having the same battery, you can squeeze out 1h+ more out of stuff like BotW compared to the V2, and 3h more compared to the Day 1. (If you play on Max Effects, Max Brightness, Max everything. If you play V2 and OLED on Medium, they last the same. However, the OLED at Max lasts 10m less than the OLED at Medium, while the V2 at Max lasts 1 hour less than the V2 in Medium. Always on BotW)
Considering its practically a given that Nintendo's Switch successor will almost certainly be a Switch 2, likely capable of playing the original Switch library, I see no good reason that any original Switch owner should upgrade to this model and not instead just wait for it's inevitable follow-up. Having said that, it looks great, and if I didn't already have a Switch, I definitely would want this one.
@@SunnyExMusic yeah i’m selling my old one to a friend because they don’t have one
Battery life. That's my reason. My OG dies in roughly an hour in portable mode. I bought it around launch so it's really about time.
@@nicodalusong149 power bank is cheaper than a whole switch, but hey, whatever works for you man
@AlexJustAlex YT that slightly gets rid of the whole portability thing he loved about his switch before, plus he could just sell his switch
I appreciate the first impressions video and the fact you played it instead of being like some other TH-camrs that rushed out a 'I gave an OLED Switch!" video but had nothing of substance to take say about it.
Thank you for playing Marvel vs Capcom 2 music in your video. I loved it!
Hey Bob, as a fellow non screen protector person I just was wondering if you are planning on continuing that with this new oled model? Awesome content as always.
I don't have a Nintendo Switch, I currently have the Lite and I have just pre-ordered the OLED version. Super excited to receive as I have been contemplating about getting a switch for a long time and I'm happy with my decision of going for the OLED rather than a standard version. Thanks for the review :)
Makes no difference lol
@@TSHGTheStrawHatGhost well it does, it’s an OLED screen for portable gaming which is better and 64GB instead of 32GB and it’s a nicer colour 😂 so minimal changes but good ones
@@CEazy95 Ehh it's ok
I’m excited! I’m a launch model owner so I’m looking forward to the better screen and better battery life.
NGL that bigger screen looks like it’ll make Metroid look amazing 💛
I’ve never had any problems with my launch switch. Literally got it first day and it still runs like a dream. I just gotta replace the screen protector from some very slight scratches. I’ve also sent in my joy cons for drift but that didn’t cost me anything. It’s cool but not worth the money in my opinion.
I agree, great for if you have never bought one but not really worth it for existing people to upgrade.
I've had to replace my joycons... *After* i sent them out to get fixed.
@@esmooth919 dang that sucks. It’s really just different for everyone. My experience was really good. They didn’t even fix mine, just sent me brand new joy cons.
@@esmooth919 Damn, that sucks. I just went on amazon and bought a couple joystick replacements. Not too expensive, and I didn't have to send out my joycons for a week+ to get them back. But I like doing that kind of stuff, so the cost wasn't an issue for me. I had also replaced the plastic block thing that keeps the joycon locked in the side rails, with one made of metal. SOOO much more secure. Mine were wearing down, so you could pull them out without pressing the button. But that's probably due to me letting my ( at the time ) 6 year old play with my switch.
I've sent 6 pairs of joycons to fix drift. All of them went back to drifting within a month or so of getting them back. I really hope there's some improvement on these new white joycons.
My favorite switch content creator finally got hands on the OLED!!!!
@@darthkai8242 ok but did he ask, put it in a separate comment don't randomly vent to this guy lmao. Also this is just regurgitated stuff it's not like you're adding anything.

@@darthkai8242 I never really get it when people bring out this argument, as if it doesn't immediately work vice versa. Thanks for the chat tho
Jesus that opening b roll sequence and transition were just money 👌
I’m not a true gamer but I’m stuck in WA. I appreciate NY makers and your content! Thank you. Just got the switch oled (paid way more than I should) and I have the lite. Currently on Pokémon bd. Thank you again for the content.
I only got my V2 switch last Christmas. I was so annoyed when they announced the OLED lol. I mainly play my switch in handheld and I do find myself struggling a little bit with the screen size on the V2, especially on games like BOTW where there’s quite a lot of detail that can be harder to see on the smaller screen, so the bigger screen on the OLED is tempting. That being said, my switch is less than a year old and I wouldn’t want to sell it or trade it in and I have no use for two switches. Plus with no real performance upgrades other than the screen theres not a ton of reasons for me to seriously consider switching (ha) to the OLED when I have an almost brand new V2 that works flawlessly.
I’d probably agree with you that the OLED is a good deal for people buying their first switch now, or upgrading from a V1.
Don’t worry I give it at most 2 to 3 years before they say sum about the pro in a direct here or at least you’ll see real leaks like we did with the OLED
The way I see it, it reminds me of when the gamboy advanced SP came out but then later down the road they did an update to the system and released the ags 101 model and had a brighter screen
You should have lightly sneezed when the mary-O switch knocked over! LOL 👌🏻
Great video Bob. Happy for you that you got yours early. Do you have any idea if it will still be possible to get one of these at launch and if not when they will be available again?
It's interesting that no one seems to have looked into the dock yet. Don't forget that you can actually purchase the dock separately for the current switch if you wish.
That along with the slight redesign and the recent update that allows you to update the dock could mean that its possible that this new dock could allow the switch to run better while docked....
(That's a lot of dock in one sentence)
Personally I always felt the launch model screen size was too small to do anything other than docked. I like the new crisp screen. I'll most likely sell my launch switch
Looks more like the air intake, rather than speaker grills.
Also over saturation can be annoying, and one of the issues of introducing a new panel technology, is that some games color calibration will be off by a lot. So these profiles are welcome.
That intro was lit! Perfect rhythm.
What song is it
I play about 80 percent of the time in portable and 20 percent of the time in docked. The switch lite has always been really tempting since the battery life on my launch switch is gettin pretty rough. But even just knowing I might want to play docked is enough for me to go for the OLED model instead of the lite, plus the white joycons / dock look awesome. The only thing that makes me hesitate is that there might be a 4k model of the switch down the line. If that's the case, buying this model means there's no way I'm getting the 4k one if it does indeed come out next year.
it didnt come out and probably wont for 2 years
lol an other switch to your collection!! You gotta find a way to display them Bob :-)
Can not wait! So excited to check the OLED.
ay wulff i saw you at comic con today in nyc i just wanted to say thank you for the amazing content your produce
The first 55 seconds of this video were way different than anything else you've created on this channel. It felt like a new season intro, loved it.
The only thing I want is the dock, because there is potential for “Switch Pro” firmware being added later.
They well sell the dock separately later
So really no reason to upgrade unless you play mosty hand held . I mainly play docked because I already own a oled TV
Your metal joycons are gonna look slick on this!
I bought the white one from Target and it's coming SOON! So excited, and I'm hoping Metroid is as good or better as fusion
Here's what I think about using "true color" on movies and stuff I see why it would make sense, but videogames are stylized, they don't use natural colors, they are already altered and enhanced to be pleasant to the eye so a vivid setting would probably just emphasize the tweaks made to be eye candy. True color may dull some of the intended color choices
The only important thing is white balance imo. For example, my PS Vita Slim looks way better than my OLED one cause the OLED screen looks super warm and whites are reddish.
@@alexfizz7402 that sounds like a blue light filter, or burn-in
@@iamapie13 I mean, it's not severe but noticeable in some scenes.
I had a launch switch, it was battered, broken plastic on the case, had one of its rails replaced and all sorts. Couldn't decide between a red box or an oled. I live in the UK and the switch got a price drop so I jumped. Now I'm debating whether the oled should have been the one to go for despite it staying in a dock 80% of the time
If you play dock 80% of the time, then the OLED won't affect you. That 20% portable shouldn't really bother you
that oled screen is definitly gonna be in the news sometime next year, you chose wisely my friend
@@averagejoee I'm personally considering upgrading my launch switch to the OLED seeing as I play 60/40 handheld
@@kingrusty1st931 I greatly distrust the oled technology for now, it is proven that you have the possibility of having an unusable screen in a year or two. I wouldn't recommend it, more than ever if you plan to use it handheld intensively, but do what your heart tells you :)
@@averagejoee just wish the switch launched with the same screen size as the OLED has now. Like there was room in 2017 so why wait 4 years for bigger screen
Just beautiful intro my friend. Keep the high quality
