I love my OLED!! I am a late adapter when it comes to getting new electronics. I’m gonna wait till the switch 2 has good games and all the kinks are ironed out. And hopefully by then it will be easier to get my hands on one. Great video!
I just bought my Nintendo OLED last week, I'm so happy with it and it's so amazing. In my pov, the new console aka Switch 2, is still in the developing phase, and they have not been officially announced by Nintendo and that happens probably sometime in the next year. Even if they announce it officially, the release of the product would take another few more weeks or months. On top of that, the prices would be expensive initially, so we have to wait again few months the prices to drop (drop to the actual price range) plus the releases for more games for the Switch 2 would take couple more months and for now I'm happy with my new Switch OLED and what it offers. 😃
I'm just genuinely surprised there's still been no price drop. I imagine most people at this point who don't own one will be waiting for that instead of splurging on a holiday sale
@@StoneColdMiracle its nintendo isn't it, they dont really do price drops on anything. Especially when the switch is still outselling both the Xbox series X and PS5.
@@Switchbored Yeah, definitely not nowadays at least, which makes sense to a degree? Although I'm pretty sure the PS5 has begun to outsell it in recent years, at least in the US and UK Just wild to think there was a time when they were doing Nintendo Selects and big price cuts on the 3DS or Wii U at least half way into the life.
I was looking to buy a handheld and the switch seems to have a very good options to choose from. There's no discount on games from Nintendo themselves but what about the indie games? Have they gone down in price? I had selected a few games if I decided to buy a switch and it seems that most of my chosen games are from small indie companies
I think the best strategy for those who have not bought a Switch yet (and if you haven't "What's wrong with you?" -Reggie) is that they just buy the Switch lite, start building their libraries with awesome games and hold out unitl the Switch 2 comes out. AT that point you still may want to hold on to the Switch lite; as it serves the purpose of being the most "pocket friendly" compared the the rumoured 8 inch Switch 2; which really is meant to replace the standard and Switch OLED model anways. This way; when you play all those games you bought on the Switch lite; they will REALLY look that much better on the Switch 2 and on the TV.
Some things to consider. The lite when it gets drift (and it will) is a PAIN to repair vs a joycon if out of warranty. And to new buyers who may be uninformed the performance is identical among all models (with the exception of the lite since technically the switch runs faster docked and the lite cannot dock,in handheld however it's identical.). It's amazing how many newcomers i see that don't understand that. Personally I'd advise avoiding the lite unless you're technically inclined enough to perform the analog repair and swap them out for hall effect sticks.
My Switch Lite has had HEAVY usage since March 2020 and doesn’t drift at all. There’s no guarantee that they will end up with drifting issues. The Animal Crossing Switch doesn’t drift either, but I also use wired controllers for it when docked.
I have had a Switch Lite since 2020 which has been amazing for Animal Crossing, but I just ended up picking up the Tears of the Kingdom Switch from Japan purely to play Echoes on my monitor and not on the small screen. xD
Honestly an amazing video, brother! Your recommendations are well said, and even though I'm already a Switch owner by nature, you've still managed to persuade me to buy more Switch 🤣 OLED model is absolutely the best one like you mentioned. Keen for Switch 2 when it happens!
@@uppernimbus the new Hyrule edition switch lite is a shout if youre looking for something to add to your collection. Thanks for watching nimbus. Always appreciated 😁
I allready have the oled model and the normal one. Im thinking about buying the Hyrule edition of the Switch lite. And over the years I collected about 400 physical games for this amazing console... even if there is a new Switch comming out, I will allways continue collecting for the old Switch. Guess I am a little fanboy :D But I can recommend the Steam Deck, too :D Greetings and cheers from Germany!
Nice video dude. Honestly this really is prob the best time (maybe last?) for people to pickup a Nintendo Switch. So many amazing games and services on it. We have no idea what this next console will be or when its out but theres so much here. Also WTH you bought XC3!? Bro. 😮
@@TheMonsterReviews the switch imo is up there with the greatest consoles of all time. The games and the hybrid design have changed the gaming industry for sure.
I’m thinking of getting the TOTK OLED special edition, but it’s still around retail price from what I can tell. Should I just bite the bullet now or wait until around Black Friday and Cyber Monday to see if it goes on sale?
@@FlexingTodayentirely up to you. Id bite the bullet deffo. Last year nintendo never put their switches on sale during Black Friday 😁 that was in the UK though.
Nintendo switch to me is still one best of rhe consoles. It may not have the power, performance, and specs of ps5 abd xbox series x, but still a good console. Especially if your on a budget the nintendo switch moght be better option.
yeah i agree with you if the switch successor is happening sometime next year its going to be around the holiday season and i like waiting a year or so that the accessories can come out and maybe even update the new stuff if theres issues,
Yeah I was thinking of getting the original switch for my birthday before it’s to late as the switch 2 is meant to be €500 according to speculation I am currently using my brothers switch that has really bad controller drift.
I have a yellow Lite and an Animal Crossing Switch. Had them since 2020. My recommendations as far as games go: Kirby and the Forgotten Land Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX Sonic Mania Plus
Also the Nintendo Switch doesn’t raise the energy bill much. It doesn’t pull power like the Xbox Series or the PS5 and their predecessors. It’s energy efficient and won’t raise the electric bill. It’s good for the environment.
Switch came out in Spring 2017 so a spring release is very feasible next year mainly because they don't want to have to compete with Playstation or Microsoft. Now seeing as the PS Portal just got a good cloud gaming update, which one would you consider?
Just buy a Steam Deck if you want portability. Prices at Steam is affordable, you have amazing games and your library carries over, not like consoles. And you can always have better graphics on a Desktop or laptop. Only downsize of Steamdeck is, it doesn't have Nintendo games. Apart from Xenoblade Chronicles, Switch doesn't have any games that is actually good. Zelda's, Pokemon games etc all bad in my opinion.

Switch Lite won’t necessarily drift. I’ve had mine for over four years now and it hasn’t drifted yet. My daughter, who is rough with it, hasn’t managed to cause drift (though I am worried it will drift eventually because of her).

Why didn’t you wait for Black Friday or holidays? I also want to buy one but idk when bc of the price
I also just bought a moded oled last week, and it's so worth it.
@@Kiriozh what would u recommend? Online of physical games ?

Yeah you’ve got 400 games might as well go ahead
tbh when it comes to electronics I think its safest to wait at least a year before buying a new model

@@FlexingTodayentirely up to you. Id bite the bullet deffo. Last year nintendo never put their switches on sale during Black Friday 😁 that was in the UK though.

I'm a sucker for nostalgia, am getting one only for the N64 pack
L.A. Noire, Kingdom Come, RDR and Dragon Quest XI I find great games.
I will still wait for the nintendo switch 2 and see what it is and then make a decision.
Yeah I was thinking of getting the original switch for my birthday before it’s to late as the switch 2 is meant to be €500 according to speculation I am currently using my brothers switch that has really bad controller drift.
I think I’d be slightly gutted to buy one now only for them to announce the S2 in January.
Love playing the classic nes super nes and SEGA genesis and game boy as well
I have a yellow Lite and an Animal Crossing Switch. Had them since 2020.
My recommendations as far as games go:
Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth Complete Edition
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Rescue Team DX
Sonic Mania Plus
I got all the Nintendo switch
My switch OLED broke and I was gonna get the switch lite hyrule edition but I rather get the OLED again
Thinking about Steam Deck but also thinking about a discounted Switch…….what to do!?
How many controllers can you use w it?
@@davidwillers652 4 controllers on a single switch. More if you link it with other switch's
Also the Nintendo Switch doesn’t raise the energy bill much. It doesn’t pull power like the Xbox Series or the PS5 and their predecessors.
It’s energy efficient and won’t raise the electric bill. It’s good for the environment.
Switch oled should have a price cut. It’s a 7 year old system and its value isn’t what it use to be
The OLED isn’t 7 years old; the original system is.
The OLED is only 4 years old and the Lite model and 2.0 model is 5 years old.
It’s not graphic but about fun

Kirby and the Forgotten Land is really good.
I've just ordered one but been watching reviews and everyone said the game performance is really bad is that the case ?
Don’t buy.
Switch Neo Is expected to launch in march 2025.
You didnt watch the video did you 😂 also is it? Wheres the confirmation proof?
Don’t buy the Switch Neo in March, wait for the Nintendo AlphaOmega that drops Holiday 2035😂
@@Ephesians-yn8ux Nintendo GammaBeta is also expected to launch march 2029 😄😄😄
