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 it comes, it’ll be pretty far into the future of the console’s life. Probably 6 years or so in. The Switch at $200 is a very cheap price point to hop into the Nintendo ecosystem and I don’t see them raising it to $250 so casually.
Yeah I don't play on the TV because it's always used by my father. I just use my PC and wanna have something light to bring around. I hope they make an OLED version plus make it vibrate!
Switch lite is already really good for portability but a big downside for me really has to be the readability issues that come with a smaller screen. If developers could put a little more attention to accessability i think the lite would be a perfect pick
I’m so tempted to buy the lite version because of its portability but the bigger screen size + better battery life + better colors with the oled one sold it for me it’s a clear choice.
@@splashplayssplashplays4550 I’m watching vids on which is better…since I JUST got outta high school and I don’t have a job yet since I’m taking care of family in exchange of not paying bills💀💀….yet But I AMM getting paid by literally taking a little girl to her school…and wondering what’s the best to save up for…and I honestly thought the lite ver. was good for me since I know I’m the only one that would be playing since my other siblings got a switch already… But how come it’s the worst mistake if u don’t mind me asking so I can realllyyy make my mind up and save😭😭 on which one I want
@@no1likehim U should definitely buy the Nintendo switch lite. I have on and it’s perfect. If ur siblings already have a switch a lite is good. If ur not very patient and looking to save a little money, lite is also good. Very portable, and it’s very comfortable. Just make sure to have head phones and ur good…
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.
its not though. The more detailed and games where you have to look into the distance, like a racing game.. you just dont do as well on a tiny screen. You can disagree but you probably suck on any screen.
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.
Sorry for you. When you realize that you waste your money collecting plastic trash, its like seeing light for the first time. You might thing this sounds stupid, but when your time comes, remember this comment
@@CrunchyTire ? collecting is a hobby? also you can make anything sound that ''useless'' with wording so it doesnt matter. Ex: ''School is just memorizing random things'' ''Movies are just some pixels on a screen''

Bought V2 last year with the longer battery life and the OLED this year. I’ll keep the original in the new OLED dock with Lan support and use the OLED as my dedicated handheld.
@@shellcracker18 All the features of the Switch OLED are these: You get 64gb of internal storage instead of 32gb. You get better on-screen colors than LCD. You get more dynamic sounds than the original and Lite. You get a bigger stand for table top mode over the original's puny stand. You get better battery life than original Switch with lifespan of 5-9 hours over the original's 3-5 hours. You get full backward compatibility with original Switch games as well as upcoming new ones. You get a new dock with LAN port compatibility which help you play online through fast wired internet which can be updated with future firmware.
For all the people that play handheld omitting frequent travelers, I assume you're into PCs; if so the OLED is perfect cause you can play on a monitor or handheld on top of a cleaner aesthetic and bigger screen
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.
Yeah I wish it was more powerful but it is what it is. I still play Fortnite, Apex and other third party games in it. Next gen switch will hopefully be pretty powerful and I am looking forward to it. In the meantime I will be enjoying the dozens of great games on my Switch.
@@therealsploge how is Apex on there? I tried Fortnite but these Joycon thumbsticks are not suitable for games like that unless you purchased the gaming controller.
@@Riversky88 If you’re gonna play Apex, played in docked mode or get some thumb stick grips and covers for the joy cons so that they are easier to use in handheld mode. Also keep in mind performance right now is terrible on Switch, PS4 and Xbox, there is a terrible framerate issue with season 12.
In docked mode you can get 60fps (tested botw) But apart from that I completely agree 30fps just isn’t comfortable for me anymore after getting a pc, I wish they would release their games on pc like sony or Microsoft, Id totally buy! I know emulation exists but I tried before and… 5 trojan viruses. Yeah agree completely
Mine too. I have a lite and a regular switch and I always play the lite when I play handheld. But that totally changed when I got the oled. Now my lite is in a drawer for the first time since I got it back in 2019.
As a person who travels lots and who will probably never use tv mode, I'm looking to buy the lite. It's portable and light, and I'm looking more for a time killer than a proper gaming experience for long trips.
Not sure did you get the lite, but as a player who played the lite for 5 months, I absolutely love it and I highly recommend to get it if TV mode is unnecessary, since I think the lite gives a better experiece in handheld mode (better button feelings and more comfortable size). And it is cheaper lol
Thanks for making this video, it really helped me decide that I am most likely best off with the Lite, since I don't play online too much and I mostly play handheld. That extra money that I save, I can spend on games.
Personally, I've had my switch for a year and I've loved it. Switch drift is basically expected, but at least on mines its really not noticeable. 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.
ive had both the switch and the switch lite, i prefer the lite because it feels way better in portable mode compared to the switch. i also prefer how the lite looks and because my most used consoles are probably my ds and 3ds im used to the small screens. the only problem i have is if i get drift its not easy to fix and i cant play every game like super mario party or switch sports but i still have my switch anyways so im gonna keep that for my tv
I bought the original Switch a few months before the OLED got released and I don't regret it nor do I plan to upgrade. The OLED looks nice but the quality of the OG switch is enough for me. I don't need an ALAN port and I don't use Bluetooth headphones so I don't care about that either. If I bought a Switch later, I probably would have chosen the OLED because $80 in that price range is not too much of an upgrade but since I already have the OG, I don't feel the need to upgrade for features I don't really care about
I got my switch oled today. And your right it is a very amazing console. I never had the original switch but I do own the lite. So I upgraded the lite to oled. So it's a big upgrade for me. I'm loving this Oled
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.
This video really helped my decision on what nintendo switch to buy!!! I've purchased the 2020 version of the original nintendo switch (the one that has the longer battery life) and I am very happy with it! I love playing both hand held and using the TV! I didn't get the oled version because I wanted to save money lol. But yeah thanks for your advice!
for me personally im not upgrading i have a launch switch and with battery pack with the same type of kickstand as the oled im not really missing out on much tbh. also i have modded my console for themes and to run android on it so i can stream my ps4 games to my switch and i don't want to miss out on them features, i will be investing in the new dock though
@@micaiahjohnson620 it won’t work natively, but there are ways around that, however, the ways of getting it to work that i know of (which require adapters) require connecting to a USB port on the PS4, and a dualshock 4 controller must be connected to the adapter or it won’t work (the dualshock 4 is needed to authenticate the controller)
I've been needing a video like this to help me with my decision Cause for me the V2 switch and OLED have that $80 difference but the special edition Animal Crossing switch comes with the game for only an extra $40 so I've been so conflicted on getting that or just buying the OLED and waiting a bit to save and buy Animal Crossing later along with other games on the best looking system as I plan to play with a combination of handheld & TV mode I think I'll go with the OLED but I'm still not that sure, I'll wait till black Friday and see if there's a deal for it and if not I might pick it anyway But thx for this video cause I think it really helped my decision 👍
I just need something cheap but fun I already have a ps4 so I’ve been thinking of the lite but since Christmas is right around the corner all these Black Friday deals are too😂 so hoping to pick up a switch lite for around $140
I bought the Nintendo switch lite a couple years ago and I love it. Within 24 hours of me getting it two of my friends bought one. They love theirs just as much as I love mine. I use mine like crazy. My switch battery lasts for six hours.
Take the regular switch, It's handheld you can play mario party in it without using another controller or joy cons you can play it as a tv console on your home and it has the same specs as the oled and lite. *IT'S PERFECTLY BALANCED AS ALL THINGS SHOULD BE*
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've had the Switch Lite and have gotten a lot of use out of it and enjoyed it...but I always (in the back of my mind) wished I'd gone with the regular switch. I don't play games on my tv...but I've always liked the idea of the Joy Cons. 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. Another really pleasant thing I wasn't expecting...is vibrations! haha I didn't realize how much I missed it in the Lite until I experienced it with the OLED!
i know i'm super late, and i know that someone else has probably said this, but the newer switches actually do have a different nvidia tegra chip in them. the og switch has the x1 and the newer ones have the x1+ with the only real difference being the power efficiency (so therefore battery life)
I wish big box stores would still have demos set up of the different consoles like they used to for the original Xbox and gamecube so we could really get a good look and feel for each before purchasing.
Upgraded my V2 switch to the OLED. Best switch upgrade I've done so far. Battery life is great; screen is so much more visually appealing, and the kickstand is such an amazing upgrade too. I play a lot of smash with family, so having that reliable kickstand is awesome. I am a mix between using TV mode and handheld, so it's perfect for someone like me.
@Chad Achee Indeed. You're right. The resolution is still rather sub-par in today's standards, but there is no doubt that the switch itself is a massive upgrade compared to the lite, or regular V2.
@@teslacybertruck750 Hahaha I was literally about to say, that's just you being cheap and not wanting to buy an OLED... I'm also leaning towards buying it now. I haven't had a Nintendo console since the DSi and I want to return!
Personally I have a regular Switch (version 2 with better battery). For me I got it back in February before I even heard of the OLED model but I originally had a original Switch back in December 2017. It was stolen back in August 2019 by a now ex family friend that had access to the house. Personally after getting another Switch earlier this year I don't feel a need to rush to get a OLED Switch. I do want it but for now I am looking at the Switch Lite instead. I have some experience with the Lite that a friend at work has so definitely like the less weight for handheld.
I think the best switch as a portable console is the switch lite, lighter easy to carry and with an amazing d pad, the 2019 model is better as a hybrid console and more reliable than the oled just for being lcd, imo oled is good but not that good, i preffer the lite honestly but i have the normal 2017 switch
@@Itzwogito I have had problems, joycon problems not just drift also the sync button sr sl and the 4 led stopped working on my red joycon, but i havent had any issues with the console itself, just the controllers that are very badly desing, even though newer models have improved a bit
One thing i will say is that you can get a lan adaptor for the original nintendo switch dock, and i saw a video on it that confirmed the speed of the connection was the same whether it was the oled dock or the regular dock with the adaptor. considering you can find this adaptor for like 20 bucks, id have to recommend the regula rmodel to people who only wish to play competitively.
I pre ordered my og switch, it’s still great as we are coming to the 6th year of its life, I have completed 2 Pokémon games, became very very very good at mario kart and got on the world leaderboards, all this and more on my og Nintendo switch from 6 years ago.
@@tobiasgvenus thank goodness it’s not just mine… bought it literally a week or 2 ago now and the white joycons (in the right lighting, usually really bright white light) are all kinds of lightly scratched up.
@@tobiasgvenus you have no idea how many videos I went through and paused trying to see if other peoples had it 😂 but no luck since they’re hard to see
EXCELLENT explanation mate! You've answered most of our doubts. One question: in future, might switch release other updated versions (if yes, what might it be) or a new different console? Thx :)
It's worth noting for existing OG owners that the USB port supports a wide array of LAN adapter dongles. My Wii USB LAN adapter that I bought for my Wii U back in 2014 and used through the remainder of that console cycle is still serving me well 5 years into my Switch's life. Your mileage may vary with 3rd party adapters, but officially licensed ones by HORI have good reviews. In my opinion, a $30 upgrade for existing XKW OG Switch owners is vastly superior to the likely $180 the OLED will still cost after trading in the OG, and even XAW OG owners who primarily game on the TV should consider a LAN dongle over an entire new Switch this late into the console cycle with a potential new generation of Nintendo hardware likely to drop within the next 2 years.
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.
but you forgot one thing to say about the OLED switch, if you dont have an oled tv and you want to play in OLED you cant because your tv isnt compatible, so there isnt any point but if you want play handheld also if you have a normal switch/OLED and do own a OLED tv just turn on game mode it basically turns it to look just like OLED would, makes the colours pop more and the black more darker
I'm debating on which version to get as I havn't owned a switch yet. 🤔 quite the decision to make? Update! Decided on the Switch Lite and loving it ❤ 😍
I already have the PS4 when I want to play a game on larger TV. So when I purchased the Lite, I was so satisfied with it. 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.
I put a glass protector on my lites screen, and it looks so much better…….can’t see much of a difference, to be honest. The only difference to me is the smaller screen
was going to originally go with the lite, but after looking into it more i went with the V2. the extended battery life and the docked mode makes it more than better than the lite for portability and full screen gaming.
Wow I would've thought this channel had millions of subscribers due to the quality and effort put into this video. that's definitely worth my subscription bro!!!!
You know not that long ago people were fine playing on a 3 inch screen, now 5,5 inches is "insanely small". It's a portable console called "lite", of course the screen is "small". Imo making it slightly smaller wouldn't hurt for portability and price reasons.
@@William_Saliba yeah totally ! I grew up with a psp and had no problems with the screen size. I guess I’m just picturing some of the games I currently play on my switch and don’t think I’d ever be interested in playing them on a screen that small. It’s really not that small though
ur dog is soooo cute! and i really didnt know what to get so i got the normal gen2 and the oled. i really like both of them and can customise then accordingly!
i kinda want the oled but the only problem for me is the price, i had an og switch and a lite but my og’s screen doesn’t work when off the dock and i prefer playing in handheld mode anyway. And i want to upgrade my lite so i hope to get the oled sometime
dude if you told me chris pratt is mario and seth rogan is donkey kong 5 years ago i would have thought it was a shitpost. the fact that it's official still makes me laugh.
I would have bought a Lite on day one if it could be docked, I love the size and love how its all one solid unit but the fact that it cant actually "switch" is baffling, its legit just as simple as giving it HDMI out support
For that you have the original one. So it makes no sense to put a lite that its only aim is to use in portable mode, to be docked. Take the original instead
@@kolour7611 nah but they removed the video out capability, it's all attached would have been good if you could be a tiny dock for it. And use a separate controller
@@Oracle2448 You can read again, but i repeat. You want it portable, buy lite. You want it less portable but also to use on tv. Buy a normal one. The aim of the lite is something different and if you want it to be docked you need two controllers or one more depending on play with people or alone. No sense.
@@kolour7611 You do understand get a light and use it. I owned a lite, I used it portable and liked it I liked the buttons and handheld feel feels way better than the normal switch. At home I have a TV when I got my lite I didn't have my own TV. I got a lite, I liked it used it alot. One thing I just wished is it could connect to the TV when I'm at home. The lite feels diffrent than a switch the buttons aren't the same, the dpad is good on it. I recently sold my switch lite to get a normal one to use on the TV because during covid I was at home more. Siting on the couch playing it, I wish I could get a controller and a USB to hdmi or even if it was possible a mini dock to use my TV. Lite only aim being portable is just not true, it took a slightly different approach, and it feels amazing in hand compared to the normal switch. I would choose a switch lite with docking capability over an OLED or the normal one Anyday.
@@Oracle2448 ngl the switch lite was meant to be smaller so its easier for handheld but i heard you can dock it via phone streaming but its kinda weird
I own og and lite, and I like my lite more. I don't have to deal with its joycons or the weight factor. OLED looks better but I don't got the cash. My opinion is to go with the OLED. If you don't got the cash , go with Lite. I don't got a tv in my room, so I play the lite version.
I have all three. OG is always docked. OLED when I’m sitting. Lite when I’m in bed. If you can afford it, I recommend getting all three. This isn’t a brag or anything, but all three has its purpose IMO. If you can only afford one, get the OG. It’s a little lighter than the OLED and can dock unlike the lite.
I guess I'm going to go with the OLED model sounds like its worth it. I do want to play handheld and on the tv both and I like the bigger screen and longer battery life than the light version. Also the kickstand will probably come in handy. The only thing is I wish it came in pretty different colors besides just black and white.
Well in my country the OLED one its almost 200€ different than the normal one so I dont think its worth it to spent so much money only to have a bigger screen with the same resolution
The thing is, I have the money to buy the OLED version, but it will internally hurt me.... on the other hand, I'm scared that if I'll buy the Lite version, I will regret it later. And the regular Switch? Well, I don't like the middle ground here because I will always have the voice in the back of my head that will say "Dude, you could have waited and pay $50 more for the OLED version.... what have you done?!?" Anyone had the same problem? Help? (I won't play on TV, or very rarely)
I'm thinking of getting the Switch lite this year. I have small hands and even struggle with big phones, so it seems more user friendly and in my budget at the moment. I think I'll hold back on buying the Switch or the OLED until I can afford to, plus a newer model may come out soon.
I've got all three switch models. A lite (Sword and Shield Edition, only bought for keeping it in its box, never going to use it), a OG switch (Mario Red and Blue Edition, which I use only in handheld mode, when I dock it, I have a soft fiber cloth in the dock to prevent it from scratching the screen), and a OLED switch (in white, but I use different joy cons on the OLED, because I love the white joy cons and are keeping them in pristine condition and will never use them).
"the og switch hasn't actually gone down in price yet" This is Nintendo we're talking about. They rarely put anything worthwhile on sale. If anything they might just bump up the price just for the fun of it.
My buyers guide for switch. If you already have a switch, dont bother upgrading to the oled. If you dont have one already get the oled. Beyond that the only other advice is DONT GET THE LITE. You lose the ability to swap out joycons which is huge being that joycon drift is such a big issue and if your switch lite gets it, your screwed. Plus you lose out on docked mode. Its not worth the cheaper price
Thanks for the video. I am struggling to pick which one to get. I don't know anything about gaming systems. My 5 year old has a Nintendo switch light at her dad's house and is obsessed with it. I'm seriously considering getting one. I used to play Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the dragon as a kid on the original playstation and loved those games and there are several other games that look fun.
I only just realized that you only have few subscribers but your video quality, editing and overall vibe of the video is amazing. Keep it going and you will be big.
Imagine adding a TV mode to the lite, just if you have a doc you can connect it to the TV or imagine being able to “screen share” your screen to the TV then it wouldn’t matter tbh
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
Where did you get it?
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.
@@sd.sophie6337 you could consider buying a used switch if possible if you only surely want to play 1 game
That's pretty much the only reason anyone should get oled
they should definitely release a switch lite oled it would be awesome
I agree
They do
If it comes, it’ll be pretty far into the future of the console’s life. Probably 6 years or so in. The Switch at $200 is a very cheap price point to hop into the Nintendo ecosystem and I don’t see them raising it to $250 so casually.
That is the best option. Nice screen dedicated to handheld play.
Yeah I don't play on the TV because it's always used by my father. I just use my PC and wanna have something light to bring around. I hope they make an OLED version plus make it vibrate!

@@no1likehim U should definitely buy the Nintendo switch lite. I have on and it’s perfect. If ur siblings already have a switch a lite is good. If ur not very patient and looking to save a little money, lite is also good. Very portable, and it’s very comfortable. Just make sure to have head phones and ur good…
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.
Thanks! I was gonna save for an oled lol
I should’ve bought a lite. But I still have the first switch. Has anyone had a problem with drift?
@@AsdfAsdf-mi6ks by anyone you mean 99% of the earth? yes but not me lol
@@hike4082 but I mean drift for the lite
its not though. The more detailed and games where you have to look into the distance, like a racing game.. you just dont do as well on a tiny screen. You can disagree but you probably suck on any screen.
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.

@@shanwweyrick9846 same here I also have the lite. I have zero reason to buy a 3rd switch that only upgrade is oled
Bought V2 last year with the longer battery life and the OLED this year.
I’ll keep the original in the new OLED dock with Lan support and use the OLED as my dedicated handheld.
@@shellcracker18 All the features of the Switch OLED are these:
You get 64gb of internal storage instead of 32gb.
You get better on-screen colors than LCD.
You get more dynamic sounds than the original and Lite.
You get a bigger stand for table top mode over the original's puny stand.
You get better battery life than original Switch with lifespan of 5-9 hours over the original's 3-5 hours.
You get full backward compatibility with original Switch games as well as upcoming new ones.
You get a new dock with LAN port compatibility which help you play online through fast wired internet which can be updated with future firmware.
For all the people that play handheld omitting frequent travelers, I assume you're into PCs; if so the OLED is perfect cause you can play on a monitor or handheld on top of a cleaner aesthetic and bigger screen
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.
Yeah I wish it was more powerful but it is what it is. I still play Fortnite, Apex and other third party games in it. Next gen switch will hopefully be pretty powerful and I am looking forward to it. In the meantime I will be enjoying the dozens of great games on my Switch.
@@therealsploge how is Apex on there? I tried Fortnite but these Joycon thumbsticks are not suitable for games like that unless you purchased the gaming controller.
@@Riversky88 If you’re gonna play Apex, played in docked mode or get some thumb stick grips and covers for the joy cons so that they are easier to use in handheld mode. Also keep in mind performance right now is terrible on Switch, PS4 and Xbox, there is a terrible framerate issue with season 12.
Will never happen. It's still Nintendo...
In docked mode you can get 60fps (tested botw) But apart from that I completely agree 30fps just isn’t comfortable for me anymore after getting a pc, I wish they would release their games on pc like sony or Microsoft, Id totally buy! I know emulation exists but I tried before and… 5 trojan viruses. Yeah agree completely
The Switch Lite is my favorite.
Mine too. I have a lite and a regular switch and I always play the lite when I play handheld. But that totally changed when I got the oled. Now my lite is in a drawer for the first time since I got it back in 2019.

@@progamingminion2856 but its cheap
@@progamingminion2856 Bruh it isn't trash
@@progamingminion2856 no
Not sure did you get the lite, but as a player who played the lite for 5 months, I absolutely love it and I highly recommend to get it if TV mode is unnecessary, since I think the lite gives a better experiece in handheld mode (better button feelings and more comfortable size).
And it is cheaper lol
Thanks for making this video, it really helped me decide that I am most likely best off with the Lite, since I don't play online too much and I mostly play handheld. That extra money that I save, I can spend on games.
Personally, I've had my switch for a year and I've loved it. Switch drift is basically expected, but at least on mines its really not noticeable. 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.
@velvet that's why I got an og(acnh) switch instead of a lite even though I only play in handheld
ive had both the switch and the switch lite, i prefer the lite because it feels way better in portable mode compared to the switch. i also prefer how the lite looks and because my most used consoles are probably my ds and 3ds im used to the small screens. the only problem i have is if i get drift its not easy to fix and i cant play every game like super mario party or switch sports but i still have my switch anyways so im gonna keep that for my tv
I bought the original Switch a few months before the OLED got released and I don't regret it nor do I plan to upgrade. The OLED looks nice but the quality of the OG switch is enough for me. I don't need an ALAN port and I don't use Bluetooth headphones so I don't care about that either. If I bought a Switch later, I probably would have chosen the OLED because $80 in that price range is not too much of an upgrade but since I already have the OG, I don't feel the need to upgrade for features I don't really care about
If you ever have the need to playonline wired, an USB 3.0 LANport adapter is $15, so not big deal.
I got my switch oled today. And your right it is a very amazing console. I never had the original switch but I do own the lite. So I upgraded the lite to oled. So it's a big upgrade for me. I'm loving this Oled
Awesome to hear!
My right what? It's "you're right". Please be better.
@@SCDJMU Mate can you like, not?
@Mary Morrison yes but I got the red and blue OLED

I had a switch lite but I sold it recently so now I'm saving for a regular switch. The OLED shell color looks nice but it's way too expensive!
This is the best way to help consumers make a decision. Great presentation dude.
Thanks mate :)
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.
this helped so much. I am a person of logic and the flowchart helped me so much... now to try to get my hands on that OLED
I got mine recently and there great
This video really helped my decision on what nintendo switch to buy!!! I've purchased the 2020 version of the original nintendo switch (the one that has the longer battery life) and I am very happy with it! I love playing both hand held and using the TV! I didn't get the oled version because I wanted to save money lol. But yeah thanks for your advice!
for me personally im not upgrading i have a launch switch and with battery pack with the same type of kickstand as the oled im not really missing out on much tbh. also i have modded my console for themes and to run android on it so i can stream my ps4 games to my switch and i don't want to miss out on them features, i will be investing in the new dock though
Oh cool. SOunds like you have the best switch already 😄
I want to do this but will the switch controller work on the ps4
@@micaiahjohnson620 it won’t work natively, but there are ways around that, however, the ways of getting it to work that i know of (which require adapters) require connecting to a USB port on the PS4, and a dualshock 4 controller must be connected to the adapter or it won’t work (the dualshock 4 is needed to authenticate the controller)
I've been needing a video like this to help me with my decision
Cause for me the V2 switch and OLED have that $80 difference but the special edition Animal Crossing switch comes with the game for only an extra $40 so I've been so conflicted on getting that or just buying the OLED and waiting a bit to save and buy Animal Crossing later along with other games on the best looking system as I plan to play with a combination of handheld & TV mode
I think I'll go with the OLED but I'm still not that sure, I'll wait till black Friday and see if there's a deal for it and if not I might pick it anyway
But thx for this video cause I think it really helped my decision 👍

I bought the Nintendo switch lite a couple years ago and I love it. Within 24 hours of me getting it two of my friends bought one. They love theirs just as much as I love mine. I use mine like crazy. My switch battery lasts for six hours.

Take the regular switch, It's handheld you can play mario party in it without using another controller or joy cons you can play it as a tv console on your home and it has the same specs as the oled and lite. *IT'S PERFECTLY BALANCED AS ALL THINGS SHOULD BE*
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 disagreed even if you play in handheld no one should get the light
I've had the Switch Lite and have gotten a lot of use out of it and enjoyed it...but I always (in the back of my mind) wished I'd gone with the regular switch. I don't play games on my tv...but I've always liked the idea of the Joy Cons.
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. Another really pleasant thing I wasn't expecting...is vibrations! haha I didn't realize how much I missed it in the Lite until I experienced it with the OLED!
i know i'm super late, and i know that someone else has probably said this, but the newer switches actually do have a different nvidia tegra chip in them. the og switch has the x1 and the newer ones have the x1+ with the only real difference being the power efficiency (so therefore battery life)
I wish big box stores would still have demos set up of the different consoles like they used to for the original Xbox and gamecube so we could really get a good look and feel for each before purchasing.
Same, miss those
They do where I live :)
@@onewaytochrist you're lucky!
Ever since the oled version, I can't help but notice the thick black part covering the screen of my switch
Upgraded my V2 switch to the OLED. Best switch upgrade I've done so far. Battery life is great; screen is so much more visually appealing, and the kickstand is such an amazing upgrade too. I play a lot of smash with family, so having that reliable kickstand is awesome. I am a mix between using TV mode and handheld, so it's perfect for someone like me.
I wanna buy my little brother one for Christmas. Do you ether one is good ?
@King Kenz I would get him an OLED! It has a much better screen and dock.
@@girtzjeffrey but the docks are the same 1080p and only different with the new dock is lan port so it's not way better
@Chad Achee Indeed. You're right. The resolution is still rather sub-par in today's standards, but there is no doubt that the switch itself is a massive upgrade compared to the lite, or regular V2.
@@girtzjeffrey it still not massive upgrade when they have same CPU and GPU just screen and kickstand and I have both
Also, if you're looking to purchase a lot of accessories, there's a lot more for the classic Switch than there is for the OLED atm.
Nahh that's what stickers and paint is for😋
It's been a year and most accessories exist for both
I personally think the Switch lite is the best out of the 3. The only reason I'd upgrade is if they had a faster processor.
Update I ended up getting the OLED. And it was the best decision ever! Disregard my original comment.
You say that because you don’t have an oled or regular lmao…don’t even lie or deny it
but loading take little bit long, og switch, oled load fast
@@teslacybertruck750 Hahaha I was literally about to say, that's just you being cheap and not wanting to buy an OLED... I'm also leaning towards buying it now. I haven't had a Nintendo console since the DSi and I want to return!

I got Nintendo Switch Lite and I like to play Arcade Archives: Track & Field on Nintendo Switch Lite.
Personally I have a regular Switch (version 2 with better battery). For me I got it back in February before I even heard of the OLED model but I originally had a original Switch back in December 2017. It was stolen back in August 2019 by a now ex family friend that had access to the house. Personally after getting another Switch earlier this year I don't feel a need to rush to get a OLED Switch. I do want it but for now I am looking at the Switch Lite instead. I have some experience with the Lite that a friend at work has so definitely like the less weight for handheld.

I think the best switch as a portable console is the switch lite, lighter easy to carry and with an amazing d pad, the 2019 model is better as a hybrid console and more reliable than the oled just for being lcd, imo oled is good but not that good, i preffer the lite honestly but i have the normal 2017 switch

@@Itzwogito I have had problems, joycon problems not just drift also the sync button sr sl and the 4 led stopped working on my red joycon, but i havent had any issues with the console itself, just the controllers that are very badly desing, even though newer models have improved a bit
i don't think ''save some cash'' is ever applicable for a nintendo product when all their exclusives are 60$ + whatever online costs monthly
One thing i will say is that you can get a lan adaptor for the original nintendo switch dock, and i saw a video on it that confirmed the speed of the connection was the same whether it was the oled dock or the regular dock with the adaptor. considering you can find this adaptor for like 20 bucks, id have to recommend the regula rmodel to people who only wish to play competitively.

EXCELLENT explanation mate!
You've answered most of our doubts.
One question: in future, might switch release other updated versions (if yes, what might it be) or a new different console? Thx :)
Oh they definitely will eventually. What that is I have NO idea. For now I think you'll be good buying these and be happy for at least a few years :)
It's worth noting for existing OG owners that the USB port supports a wide array of LAN adapter dongles. My Wii USB LAN adapter that I bought for my Wii U back in 2014 and used through the remainder of that console cycle is still serving me well 5 years into my Switch's life. Your mileage may vary with 3rd party adapters, but officially licensed ones by HORI have good reviews. In my opinion, a $30 upgrade for existing XKW OG Switch owners is vastly superior to the likely $180 the OLED will still cost after trading in the OG, and even XAW OG owners who primarily game on the TV should consider a LAN dongle over an entire new Switch this late into the console cycle with a potential new generation of Nintendo hardware likely to drop within the next 2 years.
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.
but you forgot one thing to say about the OLED switch, if you dont have an oled tv and you want to play in OLED you cant because your tv isnt compatible, so there isnt any point but if you want play handheld
also if you have a normal switch/OLED and do own a OLED tv just turn on game mode it basically turns it to look just like OLED would, makes the colours pop more and the black more darker
I'm debating on which version to get as I havn't owned a switch yet. 🤔 quite the decision to make?
Update!
Decided on the Switch Lite and loving it ❤ 😍
You have so many great games to check out!
Yup! Decided on the switch lite!
I can't decide yet my first time too, but I might choose the oled
I haven’t owned a switch yet. I’m debating whether I should get a Regular Switch or the OLED one.
I like the Switch Lite especially for the D pad. Just wish I could see one in person. I've never seen one at any store on display...
I already have the PS4 when I want to play a game on larger TV. So when I purchased the Lite, I was so satisfied with it. 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.
personally I’d either go with the oled or the lite depending on the budget budget
I'm getting a switch lite on Christmas 🎄 yay
I put a glass protector on my lites screen, and it looks so much better…….can’t see much of a difference, to be honest. The only difference to me is the smaller screen
was going to originally go with the lite, but after looking into it more i went with the V2. the extended battery life and the docked mode makes it more than better than the lite for portability and full screen gaming.
Reminder the OLED has a smaller fan than the og witch it can over heat faster.
Wow I would've thought this channel had millions of subscribers due to the quality and effort put into this video. that's definitely worth my subscription bro!!!!
Hopefully one day haha!
I just love how he added even more detail to what we would want to do with the switch.
But the real question is would you rather pay more for a switch or buy a next gen console
I really want to buy the oled one but in my country they selling it for 530 dollars
And 400 for the normal one
It’s insane how small the screen is on the lite
You know not that long ago people were fine playing on a 3 inch screen, now 5,5 inches is "insanely small". It's a portable console called "lite", of course the screen is "small". Imo making it slightly smaller wouldn't hurt for portability and price reasons.
@@William_Saliba yeah totally ! I grew up with a psp and had no problems with the screen size. I guess I’m just picturing some of the games I currently play on my switch and don’t think I’d ever be interested in playing them on a screen that small. It’s really not that small though
ur dog is soooo cute! and i really didnt know what to get so i got the normal gen2 and the oled. i really like both of them and can customise then accordingly!
i kinda want the oled but the only problem for me is the price, i had an og switch and a lite but my og’s screen doesn’t work when off the dock and i prefer playing in handheld mode anyway. And i want to upgrade my lite so i hope to get the oled sometime
dude if you told me chris pratt is mario and seth rogan is donkey kong 5 years ago i would have thought it was a shitpost. the fact that it's official still makes me laugh.
I would have bought a Lite on day one if it could be docked, I love the size and love how its all one solid unit but the fact that it cant actually "switch" is baffling, its legit just as simple as giving it HDMI out support
For that you have the original one. So it makes no sense to put a lite that its only aim is to use in portable mode, to be docked. Take the original instead
@@kolour7611 nah but they removed the video out capability, it's all attached would have been good if you could be a tiny dock for it. And use a separate controller
@@Oracle2448 You can read again, but i repeat. You want it portable, buy lite. You want it less portable but also to use on tv. Buy a normal one. The aim of the lite is something different and if you want it to be docked you need two controllers or one more depending on play with people or alone. No sense.
@@kolour7611 You do understand get a light and use it. I owned a lite, I used it portable and liked it I liked the buttons and handheld feel feels way better than the normal switch. At home I have a TV when I got my lite I didn't have my own TV. I got a lite, I liked it used it alot. One thing I just wished is it could connect to the TV when I'm at home. The lite feels diffrent than a switch the buttons aren't the same, the dpad is good on it. I recently sold my switch lite to get a normal one to use on the TV because during covid I was at home more. Siting on the couch playing it, I wish I could get a controller and a USB to hdmi or even if it was possible a mini dock to use my TV. Lite only aim being portable is just not true, it took a slightly different approach, and it feels amazing in hand compared to the normal switch. I would choose a switch lite with docking capability over an OLED or the normal one Anyday.
@@Oracle2448 ngl the switch lite was meant to be smaller so its easier for handheld but i heard you can dock it via phone streaming but its kinda weird

This was a really helpful video. I have the lite but I’ve been looking to upgrade, so thank you 😊
I own og and lite, and I like my lite more. I don't have to deal with its joycons or the weight factor. OLED looks better but I don't got the cash. My opinion is to go with the OLED. If you don't got the cash , go with Lite. I don't got a tv in my room, so I play the lite version.
Ehh Nah. The only reason to get the Lite is if you don’t have any interest in TV mode. Otherwise just get the V2 for that sweet battery life.
"The OLED switch is the best handheld experience right now."
Steam Deck: Hold my beer.
also consider multiplayer. I mostly play in handheld, but on the go multiplayer important to me so i got the normal switch
I have all three. OG is always docked. OLED when I’m sitting. Lite when I’m in bed. If you can afford it, I recommend getting all three. This isn’t a brag or anything, but all three has its purpose IMO. If you can only afford one, get the OG. It’s a little lighter than the OLED and can dock unlike the lite.
I guess I'm going to go with the OLED model sounds like its worth it. I do want to play handheld and on the tv both and I like the bigger screen and longer battery life than the light version. Also the kickstand will probably come in handy. The only thing is I wish it came in pretty different colors besides just black and white.
They have classic red and blue if that’s what suits your style. Personally I don’t care for the white either :)
You can also buy skins/decals/silicone cases for your Switch if you want to redress it in another colour (or pattern) :)
I’ve stayed with my Nintendo switch since 2017 I’m still not disappointed about it it’s pretty solid
Well in my country the OLED one its almost 200€ different than the normal one so I dont think its worth it to spent so much money only to have a bigger screen with the same resolution
200 is nothing fo me its around 1.5k-2.5k
The thing is, I have the money to buy the OLED version, but it will internally hurt me.... on the other hand, I'm scared that if I'll buy the Lite version, I will regret it later. And the regular Switch? Well, I don't like the middle ground here because I will always have the voice in the back of my head that will say "Dude, you could have waited and pay $50 more for the OLED version.... what have you done?!?"
Anyone had the same problem? Help? (I won't play on TV, or very rarely)
I'm thinking of getting the Switch lite this year. I have small hands and even struggle with big phones, so it seems more user friendly and in my budget at the moment. I think I'll hold back on buying the Switch or the OLED until I can afford to, plus a newer model may come out soon.
I've got all three switch models. A lite (Sword and Shield Edition, only bought for keeping it in its box, never going to use it), a OG switch (Mario Red and Blue Edition, which I use only in handheld mode, when I dock it, I have a soft fiber cloth in the dock to prevent it from scratching the screen), and a OLED switch (in white, but I use different joy cons on the OLED, because I love the white joy cons and are keeping them in pristine condition and will never use them).
i've watched a lot of reviews but this video gave me the clear answers with specs and REAL battery time haha thank you for making it easier to choose!
Personally I would get a used 2017 switch so that I have the possibility of jailbreaking.
they change it 2017 swicth is the rarest swicth
I've been thinking seriously about buying a switch and this video helped me alot. Thank you!
good video, really helped me decide which to purchase for my little Prince
The lites battery always lasted longer.
Why buy a oled for a lan port. Buy a usb lan dongle and plug it in the regular dock. Easy and cheap lan connection.
Totally
Love my lite, love my oled, if there is ever a lite oled that would be something, at this point everyone should just enjoy games the way they want.
I use my lite in my house in bed and stuff and I use my V2 switch is my on the go on, might get an oled or oled light who knows
"the og switch hasn't actually gone down in price yet" This is Nintendo we're talking about. They rarely put anything worthwhile on sale. If anything they might just bump up the price just for the fun of it.
I’m gonna get a normal switch, and it’s just the best for me.
Nice job and explanation, you help me to decided to go with the Oled one for long term use.
Glad I could help
I ahve a tv in my room, that's where I'm going to use it most of the time anyway, so an og switch is for me. It'll give my useless TV a use
I literally just noticed that my switch is the original one, it’s an XAW serial 😭😭
Congrats you have the worst battery!
At least it’s easy to mod
@@tobiasgvenus I see you're a glass half full person!
This was so helpful. Thank you!
My buyers guide for switch. If you already have a switch, dont bother upgrading to the oled. If you dont have one already get the oled. Beyond that the only other advice is DONT GET THE LITE. You lose the ability to swap out joycons which is huge being that joycon drift is such a big issue and if your switch lite gets it, your screwed. Plus you lose out on docked mode. Its not worth the cheaper price
Thanks for the video. I am struggling to pick which one to get. I don't know anything about gaming systems. My 5 year old has a Nintendo switch light at her dad's house and is obsessed with it. I'm seriously considering getting one. I used to play Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the dragon as a kid on the original playstation and loved those games and there are several other games that look fun.
I only just realized that you only have few subscribers but your video quality, editing and overall vibe of the video is amazing. Keep it going and you will be big.
Thanks! Slowly getting there :)
Imagine adding a TV mode to the lite, just if you have a doc you can connect it to the TV or imagine being able to “screen share” your screen to the TV then it wouldn’t matter tbh
