@@Smile-uu2yg the 4k Switch XL has been announced to release on next November & not in 2 yrs! Only two exclusive games for now, they announced Pokemon Titanium AND Metroid: quartz. It's a prequel. Hell to the yeah!!

About 30-40% of my time is spent in handheld but I upgraded from the Version 1 Switch and I’m really appreciating the bigger OLED screen and the superior battery life! I was a little worried about buyer’s remorse for this one but I sold my old switch to a friend and I love the OLED. It definitely feels like a nicer, more well thought out console compared to the old version 1 Switch.
@@Jactional for what i undersant i think it depends on the type of person you are like he says. If you think you will play handheld a lot then its worth it if you think you are going to play it mostly on your Tv then save up those 50 extra for a new game because when you play on the TV they are the same thing.
The battery omg I once played Skyrim for 6 hours straight doing this cool quest that I was absolutely glued too not once did I worry about the battery shit I was having so much fun I played until I had to charge the switch In the dock. Imagine playing skyrim on a Nintendo DS, that's what the switch is.

I’ve just bought myself the Nintendo Switch Oled and I’m over the moon with this great console. It’s my first Nintendo console and I’m looking forward to sitting back on the sofa playing games in handheld and I love the fact I can take it anywhere and enjoy my gaming. Brilliant Review Jake!
One of the most useful reviews I’ve seen. Normally I just need Jake to tell me go buy i game I was already gonna get, or sometimes wait it out for a sale. This review made me realise that the upgrade isn’t worth it for me personally and to save that money for more games (I don’t have time to play). Thanks Jake, keep em coming.
As someone who has visual issues the larger OLED screen is a godsend! I like playing in portable mode but the original screen was a lot harder on my eyes. The slightly larger size and vastly increased contrast make a huge difference for reading text and seeing smaller details in games so far.
Me too. My wife and I took a random trip to Walmart after dinner Friday and they had one on the shelf! I immediately grabbed one. I had accepted the fact that they were all gonna be bought up by scalpers and it wasn't worth the trouble for me to fight for one or pay outrageous amounts of money for it. Got it and breath of the wild (long time Zelda fan. Been there since the beginning, just haven't had the ability play this one). The console is great. And another added bonus that shocked me is that it supports my ultrawide moniter without black bars! First console I've connected to it that has done that.
Really? I'm actually getting a switch next week after saving like crazy. Walked into GameStop looking for used switch prices and found the OLED staring me in the face. But my main concern are the accessories like body armor. Carrying cases and stuff. First thing I always do when I buy a phone is get body armor. Not a regular display. BODY ARMOR. I'm talking the kind that protects your device from up to a three to five foot drop.
was hoping for more of an upgrade, but really happy with the new screen. My previous switch's screen was getting a little worn and I play mobile primarily so it was something I've been waiting to replace for a while. The lack of air gap on the screen is a big selling feature in my opinion
Coming from a first gen swicth. It surprised me a lot at how much of a difference the OLED screen made for me. I have an OLED TV and I know how good they are. However, I wasn't expecting to much as it is Nintendo you know. But I stand corrected its a small but big upgrade all at the same time. As for the switch I have definiteltly noticed a better battery life compared to my older switch. Lastly, is it just me or does it feel a little bit slimmer that the gen one?
No “backlight bleed” or “halo” around bright objects, and no smearing in fast-paced video games. It gives the impression of a higher res screen, but the reality is that an LCD screen does poor justice to the 720p resolution. And with an upgraded screen, you really start to see how some devs have deliberately avoided any high contrast to compensate. Crysis 2 looks particularly amazing in handheld on this device.
@@happyspaceinvader508 i play on a 50 inch 4K hdr tv so for me i don’t care about upgrading if the oled was 4K then i would but battery life in handheld isn’t that great on any switch i noticed the joy cons last far long battery wise when docked to yes handheld sold me on the switch before it came out but now i don’t really care about it lol
@@ot9523 Entirely up to you, of course, but the reason your 50” OLED 4K TV looks so good is more because it’s OLED, than 4K. You’d know this if you’ve ever owned on of the (very few) 1080p OLED TVs that preceded the 4K models… they looked so much better than 4K LCD! LCD screen tech is vastly inferior to OLED, and doesn’t do the native screen res justice, due to backlight bleed, narrow viewing angle and low contrast ratio making the picture appear blurry and washed out regardless of the native res. This is why the Switch OLED is a better upgrade than you’d think… the screen _looks_ far higher res, simply because OLED gives you such a razor-sharp picture… static images look almost as if they’ve been hand-painted onto the screen.
I have had my OLED for almost a year now and it’s a great upgrade from my Lite (and the V1 Switch I had before that). I almost never even pick up my Lite anymore. Contrary to what other viewers might think, this system has some serious power. I play 90% handheld mode and 10% tabletop as I play sitting in bed due to my disability (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo Switch Sports and the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition are the games I play in tabletop mode using my Joy Con Wrist Straps or Joy Con Wheel).
If your buying one don’t remove the cover that’s stuck to the screen, it’s not supposed to be removed and can mess up your screen inputs. You can place a screen protector over the top, which is recommended!
I’ve recently just bought myself the Nintendo Switch OLED and I’m over the moon with this console. I’ve been wanting one since release and I’m happy I decided to finally pick it up. Now all I need to do is collect all of the games I’ve been missing out on over the last few years.
I just wish that the switch oled had improved internals. Otherwise, it's still a decent option for those with a switch lite or people who haven't bought a switch yet
Yeah in an ideal world we'd have gotten a Switch "Pro" and from some rumours (which would be backed up by the state of chip shortages) they kinda wanted to do just that, were it not for the whole global pandemic thing fucking up supply chains/availability of computer chips.. Who knows for sure though haha Like if it were a "Pro" I would have picked up Age of Calamity with it today BUT... I can do frame dips like in Link's Awakening/BotW no sweat, but AoC is too far even for me XD All that said, the OLED was a pretty easy upgrade for me. I play in handheld/table-top quite a lot, depending on the month/week anywhere from 40%-90% of the time. I have a launch day Switch with one of the speakers broken; The kick stand has been my least favourite thing about the build since I got it; The 64gb is nice as I don't want to bother with SD cards with the only games I have downloaded being Smash Bros, DLC for Pokemon, and Trivial Pursuit yet my system is already full; I can sell my old Switch to mitigate the cost (which isn't something I see many people bring up). And having had it in my hands for a few hours, just everything about it feels like a notably more premium version of the hardware (as far as build quality/display/sound/etc.) Not a purchase I'm personally likely to regret!! Even if we're (hopefully) only 1 1/2 -2 1/2 years away from a legit Switch upgrade/successor.
@@gulfcitynd that's what they always say till they actually do it,they never thought they could put ps3\360 class hardware in something as small as the switch but they did, then everyone was like "but it wont play high end games" yet itll pull warframe and now we are about to get a dying light port (wich im super excited for). We just gotta give them time to milk this hardware before they release something new that's all.
@@ThreeBlindMiceFilms I never really play mine in handheld so I wasn't even going to bother getting an oled till he brought up the memory increase but I still think I'm gonna wait till the price drops,not playing in handheld I'd just be wasting money. But yeah I feel you on the sd card thing,I only put online only games on my sd card but hard copy games and paid dlc goes on internal memory as iv had sd cards in my phones stop working and I just dont 100% trust them for important data.
@@iulixMAXgames Different products, the decent 256GB steam deck costs almost the double and doesn't have exclusives. It's also very niche and not even released, yet u already judge. Moron.
I upgraded to a switch Oled from a switch lite and holy it really makes a difference to me. Being able to play on the tv, the nice oled screen the clean white joycons. If your considering buying it and upgrading from a switch lite it is really worth it!
@@gameranxTV Hey jake what do you think about rockstar games confirming the rumours about the remastares? If you don't know they put some tweets and a video on youtube you should check it out.
I think I'll definitely get it. It really isn't much of an upgrade for most switch owners but my switch is one of the older models with the bad battery life and the micoSD functionality has been completely broken, plus all my joycons have issues so I think for me the upgrade will be pretty substantial.
I got one a few weeks ago. Looking forward to playing some old school Mario Kart from SNES, N64, and 8 with my daughter. She is 9 months now, but she will love this thing on the road trips.
You won't even notice its 720p, it does look amazing, even retro games like megaman x collection look like never before. It was a good call to maintain good battery life and low price. Swapped my LITE for this one and definitely a great choice. The wobble is eliminated with any hard shell you put on the device.
I got to finally play it when I went to a Best Buy the other day & it looks a lot better than the original model with richer colors & a sharper image which looks greater than 720p. The bigger screen looks nice as well, but I'm sticking with my original model for now as I mostly play mine docked. Will upgrade if a 4K model ever comes out.
I still get a quick laugh when I think about how I bought my docked switch earlier this year after having a lite for a year or so, only for Nintendo to announce the Oled a week later
I preordered this one and it’s also my entryway into the switch, I absolutely love it. My only issue is from what I have seen Nintendo doesn’t lower price for older games
By used from places like marketplace. This way you are not supporting Nintendo's expensive premiums, you are saving the earth from a little more trash ending up in the landfill, and you get a little discount. Especially recommended with switch games because cartridge style games are safer to buy since they are harder to damage than disc games.
Nice review, i just bought Switch Oled. Just remember good times with nintendo DS, which long time ago. Looking really forward to it. Playing Pokemon, Mario, Persona mby, and other great games. Im stoked, hopefully it be a blast.
I say the oled switch is great for people that had the og launch switch, hand held users and new users. The launch switch had massive issues with plastics. Never dropped mine and it had massive cracks all over the place. This is a great console and i love it, redesign is much needed and having the .8 inch screen increase is incredible.
I bought a switch like 3 years ago when they upgraded the battery. And I just now got caught up with all those games. I did also buy new games that came out and have a Series X. But I use my Switch way more and it's totally worth it. Hope you have fun!
@@SNOTNUF_ literally the best alternative is to find a used switch lite that’ll run you for less then $180 if you really wanna grab a switch game cause as soon as you get a different version chances are another one will come out, it happened to me and I got my switch lite 4 years late 💀
@@beesquestionmark you'll get a lot of money for it, pretty much the same as you paid, as long as the screen isn't damaged. They're like gold dust because they can be modded. I would never sell mine.
I had absolutely no intention of getting this new OLED model…and now I can’t wait, lol. I play in handheld mode 99% of the time just because I enjoy it and I’m still playing on the original model. The sound upgrade is nice as well seeing as some games I have to crank the volume up to hear it well. This new model surprised me and I guess I’ll be doing an upgrade!
@@andreakovacs3157 I did! Pretty much immediately after, lol. I honestly love it. My partner has the original model and when I see them side-by-side, I can see a clear difference in the colour/quality. The speakers are definitely better which were a big factor for me personally, so I was happy. Overall, I’d still recommend doing the upgrade!
@@andreakovacs3157 If you’re playing in handheld mode 100% of the time, then I’d say do the upgrade, haha. You won’t be disappointed. I prefer handheld as well so it was worth it. I hope you like it!
I'm a casual gamer, just wanted a nintendo console that I could play in bed and sometimes on the tv. Ended up getting the base switch console, and it's just fine for me. The 32gb of base memory isn't an issue, I just purchased a 256gb micro SD card for $50 and I was able to get all my favourite games at the same time. I won't be using the kickstand at the back, and the screen size isn't an issue either. I haven't noticed much or any joy con wobble, and I'm able to connect bluetooth headphones if I want better sound quality. The OLED simply wasn't worth the additional $80 for me.
I might end up doing the same. I have a tv in my room so I'm probably gonna play docked a good bit unless I feel like winding down or going outside to play on summer nights.
I’m definitely someone who bought the OLED as their very first switch, I figured I should get the newer model since it would likely have improvements from the other switch so all worked out I guess. Just gotta build up my game collection now.
Great review. I love the way you review guys you always says the things that matter, no unnecessary details and even when you explain you mention that's unnoticeable. Thank you again
So far I love it. Between trading in the switch I had and some games. I was able to pick up the switch oled and the collectors edition of Metroid Dread with no out of pocket loss. So I'm very happy.
Damn noys, btw after 8 months, how do u feel bout it? Is it still worth it? are the games fun to play and not boring? I kinda want to buy the oled but kinda worried bout the games since it's different from pc games.... I will appreciate any kind answer from u.. Ty
@@nate.3305 it's a great system. I play on it daily. I would however recommend if you have a friend that owns one. See if you can try it. See if you like it. But yes I would totally recommend buying one. The games are fun. But coming from pc to Nintendo will take some getting used to.
@@claytoncastleman9259 i see... Well im more into fps games like valorant, cod, apex... Switch is more into the retro games ig? Well yes ill think bout it.. Ty for the answer btw
I sold my OG switch for full price at the beginning of the pandemic and bought the Monster Hunter edition when it came out. As much as I wish I had the OLED there's no way I'm giving up this MH one
I currently live in a Switch-less household and was considering getting the "oh-ledd" for my Minecraft/Fortnite obsessed 7 year old. I feel like the extra £70-80 is money well spent going off your thoughts, so thanks for sharing your thoughts, Stuff Goblin. 😄👍
@@JohnSimpson2112 true, but I guarantee 💯 that it will be dropped and destroyed before a yr is up. It's a good starter system. As someone who also has a 7yr old and works in the warranty department for consumer electronics. Go with the lite
I've always used mostly Playstation consoles and haven't had a Nintendo consoles since the 3DS which I only used for Pokemon and the harvest moon games. The Switch seems to have a lot of great games compared to its predecessors so I'm thinking of getting one to try some of the exclusive switch games, mostly the Otome games and Harvest moon games, used to love those! I like the white colour on this model and like the way you can play it on TV as I don't really like handheld
I never had a switch. I was playing retro games on my phone with an emulator, but playing with a touchscreen was pissing me off, so I googled and found out a lot of my favorite retro games are available on the switch. Plus I've been curious about animal crossing, so I'm thinking of getting one. I think I'll probably play it mostly handheld, so I was thinking of getting the Switch Lite, but that thing's screen is way smaller than my phone's (my phone's is 6.8"), so... I think I'm just gonna get the OLED
Haven’t had a Nintendo system since SNES, but I’ve really been craving the simplicity of Nintendo games lately. I think I might jump on this for Black Friday
What I'm considered about with the kickstand is that if will wear out over time. It seems like you have to rely on it holding itself in that position, but I feel like over time it will become looser and harder to keep up.
I love the portability of this system, I have a switch light and that's all I need. I owned a switch original and I never played on the TV even though I have a 70 in tv. I enjoy the portability of it and headphones right in my face I get really into the games.
If they had upgraded to 1080p as well, then it would have been more upgrade worthy IMO... If you have a switch, don't bother and wait for Switch Pro whenever it comes...
It really depends on how you plan to use your Switch (e.g. docked vs. handheld). If you're using your Switch as a handheld, the new OLED screen will be a huge upgrade, just for the improved contrast and colors.
@@ROGALLYWORLD I take it that you're ignorant of what an OLED display actually is. Also, there's really no difference between 720p and 1080p on such a small screen. It's only until you scale up to a larger display when docked that the resolutions matter, and aliasing becomes more apparent.
@@SnakePlissken001 i have a switch lite and the games barley even stay at 720p ppl like your misinforme others and i won’t allow it have u played crash 4 on switch it’s a mess have u played doom? witcher? even mario odyssey’s new dink city has terrible aliasing and jaggies everywhere! an OLED screen alone isn’t enough to justify this price when they should have focused on internals
@@ROGALLYWORLD Why the hell are you even playing Doom and The Witcher 3 on a Switch? If you want to play those games, you're better off getting a gaming PC or even a last-gen PS4 or Xbox One X that can handle 1080p. You have to be realistic about the tech, and the type of games that fit a console's targeted demographics. Nintendo has never competed in enthusiast gamer markets, and people buy Nintendo consoles for the first-party titles primarily - that's where the Switch excels. That said, the aliasing on the Switch's screen isn't terrible for its in-house games. It just sounds like you have buyer's remorse, and had unrealistic expectations of your Switch when it comes to multi-platform titles. And I guarantee that if you don't like how your Switch performs now, then you definitely won't like the next-gen Switch, either. As for the OLED screen, it offers full RGB (versus the pentile screen of the normal Switch), improved color accuracy and contrast, improved brightness, and higher viewing angles if you like playing your Switch with the stand. Notwithstanding the increase in price, it's already sold out everywhere.
To me this seems like that second version of the Gameboy SP with the brighter backlight which in my opinion is totally worth it. also that kickstand and speakers seem like a bigger deal than people have made them out to be!
@@Chaozero27 yeah probably, I’d appreciate some of the upgrades but I know for sure I’ll get the 4K version and I’m not sure I have enough money lying around to justify getting the same console 3 times haha. Although the monkey part of my brain is yelling “oh new shiny, gimme”.
@@UniversalGaming11 I don't think it's gonna be a switch pro but an actual next gen console. At this point Nintendo is way behind tech wise so it makes sense for it to be that next step. The switch will be almost 6 years old by the end of 2022 so a new console wouldn't be out of left field tbh
There will be no switch pro. The 4K rumored switch will be the their next gen console. Probably switch 2 or super switch. This is conjecture but it’s also fairly obvious.
@@Patricswift Same here. The next gen Switch would make more sense. Nintendo doesn't go for being better then Xbox/PS hardware wise. But they are a bit behind now, also console cycles are like 8 years. Wouldn't make much sense to release a Switch Pro 2 years or so before the Switch 2 or whatever.
I am considering turning in my first gen to GameStop for an OLED but I just can't muster up even the $150 I would for an upgrade. I mean it's kind of like, how soon before a sale or another improved model? I just want an actual performance upgrade. Games like Mortal Kombat 11 and XCOM2 still run sometimes like a slideshow...
I literally just bought 1 right before watching this video. Looking at peoples reviews over it as I download my games. For me, the OLED is a HUGE upgrade as I am upgrading from a Switch Lite, and still plan on playing mainly in handheld mode. The screen is massive compared to the Lite.
Picked mine up today going from a switch lite, BIG improvement! Screen is definitely the biggest upgrade of all. P.S. Downloading games on Wi-Fi vs Ethernet is WAYYY slower. Highly recommend docking when you do your initial setup and game re-download.
I'm really enjoying my OLED. The colors pop nicely and the screen size actually looks better. You have to experience it in person to understand. These reviews do no justice. I was one of those guys that didn't think it was necessary but as someone who plays primarily in hand held mode the OLED is totally worth it !! there's no way in he'll im going back to the old Switch. Time to hand it down.
Just bought a used OLED Switch that has apparently only been used like 3 times (looks perfect from the photos), with both Zelda games! Should arrive in like 3 days...so stoked!!!!
Well I'm glad someone finally addressed outdoor visibility, unfortunately that unsold me on it because while a good 95% of my playtime is in handheld, at least 70% of THAT playtime is outside because I spend several hours nearly every day outside smoking cigars after work. It's a nice upgrade for people who want it, and a good jumping off point for people who don't have one, but I was under the impression that the higher lumosity of the screen being touted by Nintendo would increase outdoor visibility and that sadly doesn't seem to be the case. I'll hold out for the Switch 2.

No “backlight bleed” or “halo” around bright objects, and no smearing in fast-paced video games. It gives the impression of a higher res screen, but the reality is that an LCD screen does poor justice to the 720p resolution. And with an upgraded screen, you really start to see how some devs have deliberately avoided any high contrast to compensate. Crysis 2 looks particularly amazing in handheld on this device.
@@happyspaceinvader508 i play on a 50 inch 4K hdr tv so for me i don’t care about upgrading if the oled was 4K then i would but battery life in handheld isn’t that great on any switch i noticed the joy cons last far long battery wise when docked to yes handheld sold me on the switch before it came out but now i don’t really care about it lol
@@ot9523 if you play mostly on tv then yeah don’t upgrade but you do know that even though you have a 4K tv the dock still plays in 1080p right?
@@ot9523 Entirely up to you, of course, but the reason your 50” OLED 4K TV looks so good is more because it’s OLED, than 4K. You’d know this if you’ve ever owned on of the (very few) 1080p OLED TVs that preceded the 4K models… they looked so much better than 4K LCD! LCD screen tech is vastly inferior to OLED, and doesn’t do the native screen res justice, due to backlight bleed, narrow viewing angle and low contrast ratio making the picture appear blurry and washed out regardless of the native res.
This is why the Switch OLED is a better upgrade than you’d think… the screen _looks_ far higher res, simply because OLED gives you such a razor-sharp picture… static images look almost as if they’ve been hand-painted onto the screen.
@@ot9523 noone cares if you have a 4k tv.. the switch only outputs 1080 anyways, bet ya didnt even realize
I have had my OLED for almost a year now and it’s a great upgrade from my Lite (and the V1 Switch I had before that). I almost never even pick up my Lite anymore. Contrary to what other viewers might think, this system has some serious power. I play 90% handheld mode and 10% tabletop as I play sitting in bed due to my disability (Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Nintendo Switch Sports and the GTA Trilogy Definitive Edition are the games I play in tabletop mode using my Joy Con Wrist Straps or Joy Con Wheel).
I have the GTA trilogy, but it's SO hard to enter cheats!!!!! What is San Andreas without the jetpack?!
If your buying one don’t remove the cover that’s stuck to the screen, it’s not supposed to be removed and can mess up your screen inputs. You can place a screen protector over the top, which is recommended!
Where did you get this information from? Never heard anyone say this tbh
Nintendo company announced it yesterday
Well said, thnks
I agree with this PSA. Videos are starting to come out saying the film needs to stay on the switch, do not remove it.
Nintendo pulled a samsung
Loved seeing the flipped perspective of the office as you carried in the new Switch!
Lmao weirdo
Thanks this was helpful, considering buying a switch for the first time and now I know which way to go
Glad we could help
I’ve recently just bought myself the Nintendo Switch OLED and I’m over the moon with this console. I’ve been wanting one since release and I’m happy I decided to finally pick it up. Now all I need to do is collect all of the games I’ve been missing out on over the last few years.
This thing is amazing. Absolutely a game changer for handheld users
Nahhhh that's the Steam Deck u r talking about, that's a game changer for handheld users and handheld in general
@Philip Gregory yea it can with steam sales and emulation XD lmaooo
I just wish that the switch oled had improved internals. Otherwise, it's still a decent option for those with a switch lite or people who haven't bought a switch yet
Yeah, I have a Switch Lite and I’m thinking of getting this
The issue is size you can't more powerful hardware in a small system
Yeah in an ideal world we'd have gotten a Switch "Pro" and from some rumours (which would be backed up by the state of chip shortages) they kinda wanted to do just that, were it not for the whole global pandemic thing fucking up supply chains/availability of computer chips.. Who knows for sure though haha
Like if it were a "Pro" I would have picked up Age of Calamity with it today BUT... I can do frame dips like in Link's Awakening/BotW no sweat, but AoC is too far even for me XD
All that said, the OLED was a pretty easy upgrade for me. I play in handheld/table-top quite a lot, depending on the month/week anywhere from 40%-90% of the time. I have a launch day Switch with one of the speakers broken; The kick stand has been my least favourite thing about the build since I got it; The 64gb is nice as I don't want to bother with SD cards with the only games I have downloaded being Smash Bros, DLC for Pokemon, and Trivial Pursuit yet my system is already full; I can sell my old Switch to mitigate the cost (which isn't something I see many people bring up).
And having had it in my hands for a few hours, just everything about it feels like a notably more premium version of the hardware (as far as build quality/display/sound/etc.) Not a purchase I'm personally likely to regret!! Even if we're (hopefully) only 1 1/2 -2 1/2 years away from a legit Switch upgrade/successor.
@@gulfcitynd that's what they always say till they actually do it,they never thought they could put ps3\360 class hardware in something as small as the switch but they did, then everyone was like "but it wont play high end games" yet itll pull warframe and now we are about to get a dying light port (wich im super excited for). We just gotta give them time to milk this hardware before they release something new that's all.
@@ThreeBlindMiceFilms I never really play mine in handheld so I wasn't even going to bother getting an oled till he brought up the memory increase but I still think I'm gonna wait till the price drops,not playing in handheld I'd just be wasting money. But yeah I feel you on the sd card thing,I only put online only games on my sd card but hard copy games and paid dlc goes on internal memory as iv had sd cards in my phones stop working and I just dont 100% trust them for important data.
This should be called the Nintendo Switch “Technically”
Good. Don't buy. And Goodbye.
steam deck better than Switch OLED😁😁👍👍

I upgraded to a switch Oled from a switch lite and holy it really makes a difference to me. Being able to play on the tv, the nice oled screen the clean white joycons. If your considering buying it and upgrading from a switch lite it is really worth it!

Scrolling through the comments hoping someone noticed that sweet shirt. Not disappointed.
I think I'll definitely get it. It really isn't much of an upgrade for most switch owners but my switch is one of the older models with the bad battery life and the micoSD functionality has been completely broken, plus all my joycons have issues so I think for me the upgrade will be pretty substantial.
Just convinced me
Did you end up getting it?
@@grant5095 yeah, screen is so much nicer + the kickstand actually works. Can't believe i used to use the og switch, screen just looks so small now.
@@grant5095 I'd recommend buying a refurbished. That's how i got mine; same quality and warranty.
My regular Nintendo switch broke should I buy a oled switch or just another regular switch?
Oled for sure, buy one for me too if money wasnt an issue for your life at the moment
I got one a few weeks ago. Looking forward to playing some old school Mario Kart from SNES, N64, and 8 with my daughter. She is 9 months now, but she will love this thing on the road trips.
You won't even notice its 720p, it does look amazing, even retro games like megaman x collection look like never before. It was a good call to maintain good battery life and low price. Swapped my LITE for this one and definitely a great choice. The wobble is eliminated with any hard shell you put on the device.
I got to finally play it when I went to a Best Buy the other day & it looks a lot better than the original model with richer colors & a sharper image which looks greater than 720p. The bigger screen looks nice as well, but I'm sticking with my original model for now as I mostly play mine docked. Will upgrade if a 4K model ever comes out.
I still get a quick laugh when I think about how I bought my docked switch earlier this year after having a lite for a year or so, only for Nintendo to announce the Oled a week later
:(
Do u think that Nintendo will release a PRO version of the switch?
Dude same. Talk about timing am I right
@@aaronchristopherdistrito9347 we will have to see in the next 2 years because that seems to be the pattern for switch revisions
Hey guys who is part of the gang called “Watching it but can’t afford it”?
As someone who's looking to upgrade from a switch lite this really is a helpful review, thanks man!
Good video I loved that akward side walk near the end so you could show the view in your hands but good video as always
Sat outside for 13 hours to get one. Extremely happy with it.
What you played on your switch
while waiting for your switch?
@@ayzikdig1983 didn't have a switch. Sold it to a buddy so he could play with his GF. Played Chrono Trigger on my DS while I waited.
I preordered this one and it’s also my entryway into the switch, I absolutely love it. My only issue is from what I have seen Nintendo doesn’t lower price for older games
By used from places like marketplace. This way you are not supporting Nintendo's expensive premiums, you are saving the earth from a little more trash ending up in the landfill, and you get a little discount. Especially recommended with switch games because cartridge style games are safer to buy since they are harder to damage than disc games.
@@David1993W for sure dude, currently waiting on a bid for Pokémon lol
That side saddle bag is more of a must buy than upgrading a switch. Such a slick looking bag
Nice review, i just bought Switch Oled. Just remember good times with nintendo DS, which long time ago. Looking really forward to it. Playing Pokemon, Mario, Persona mby, and other great games. Im stoked, hopefully it be a blast.
I say the oled switch is great for people that had the og launch switch, hand held users and new users. The launch switch had massive issues with plastics. Never dropped mine and it had massive cracks all over the place. This is a great console and i love it, redesign is much needed and having the .8 inch screen increase is incredible.
Coming from a launch version switch, I want to buy the Tears of Kingdom version but should I?
I just bought it and you are 100% accurate about what you said; I am just glad that there are
people like you who do so nice unboxings. Thank you man.
I’ve missed Breathe of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, and Sora in smash is gonna be the reason I get a switch gotta lot to catch up on
I bought a switch like 3 years ago when they upgraded the battery. And I just now got caught up with all those games. I did also buy new games that came out and have a Series X. But I use my Switch way more and it's totally worth it.
Hope you have fun!
I got my switch because Mario 3D all stars was gonna go off the shelves back in March and I refused to miss that
As much as i want one, i just can't, especially knowing that a better version is coming soon
@@SNOTNUF_ literally the best alternative is to find a used switch lite that’ll run you for less then $180 if you really wanna grab a switch game cause as soon as you get a different version chances are another one will come out, it happened to me and I got my switch lite 4 years late 💀
Mario odyssey was disappointing in my opinion, but I enjoyed Breath of the wild and Smash bros ultimate of course.
The Switch OLED model is amazing, loving it 👏👏👏👏
This really helped me I have wanted a switch for like 2 years now and once they released this I didn’t know what to buy love you channel XD
I’ll stick with my day 1 launch switch since it’s nothing I particularly care about I play it on the dock most of the time anyway
Same here
Also the V1 is easily modded to allow for pirated games, which is why they stopped making it.
I have a day one switch too, but I’m thinking of selling it to get the oled
@@beesquestionmark you'll get a lot of money for it, pretty much the same as you paid, as long as the screen isn't damaged. They're like gold dust because they can be modded. I would never sell mine.
I had absolutely no intention of getting this new OLED model…and now I can’t wait, lol. I play in handheld mode 99% of the time just because I enjoy it and I’m still playing on the original model. The sound upgrade is nice as well seeing as some games I have to crank the volume up to hear it well. This new model surprised me and I guess I’ll be doing an upgrade!
Did you do the upgrade? If so, how do you find it?
@@andreakovacs3157 I did! Pretty much immediately after, lol. I honestly love it. My partner has the original model and when I see them side-by-side, I can see a clear difference in the colour/quality. The speakers are definitely better which were a big factor for me personally, so I was happy. Overall, I’d still recommend doing the upgrade!
@@ShurEye Thank you! I think I will upgrade. I play 100 percent of the time in handheld, never played in docked mode.
@@andreakovacs3157 If you’re playing in handheld mode 100% of the time, then I’d say do the upgrade, haha. You won’t be disappointed. I prefer handheld as well so it was worth it. I hope you like it!
Jake videos makes me feel energetic
I'm a casual gamer, just wanted a nintendo console that I could play in bed and sometimes on the tv. Ended up getting the base switch console, and it's just fine for me. The 32gb of base memory isn't an issue, I just purchased a 256gb micro SD card for $50 and I was able to get all my favourite games at the same time. I won't be using the kickstand at the back, and the screen size isn't an issue either. I haven't noticed much or any joy con wobble, and I'm able to connect bluetooth headphones if I want better sound quality. The OLED simply wasn't worth the additional $80 for me.
I might end up doing the same. I have a tv in my room so I'm probably gonna play docked a good bit unless I feel like winding down or going outside to play on summer nights.
I've never owned a Nintendo console (Xbox/ps/gameboy guy) but I just snagged the Zelda OLED edition. Stoked to dive into some games I've been missing!
0:33 Ah yes, the inevitable open mouth smile that happens whenever someone has an unopened Switch box in their hands on camera.
I’m definitely someone who bought the OLED as their very first switch, I figured I should get the newer model since it would likely have improvements from the other switch so all worked out I guess. Just gotta build up my game collection now.
Same. I'm very late to the party. Your collection is probably pretty sweet by now!
@2:43 who said gamers can’t have style🔥🔥
Great review.
I love the way you review guys you always says the things that matter, no unnecessary details and even when you explain you mention that's unnoticeable.
Thank you again
Andrew rocking that switch on his Bike , sold me! Looking good brother! Thanks guys
My last console was a Wii and I finally decided to get a console so the OLED was the perfect choice. I was lucky to find one and I’m loving it 😎
Gonna buy this tomorrow since it’s gonna be my first switch :)
Not sure if it’s possible, it was sold out within the hour of its release from what I saw
@@tspgaming640 it’s still available in Amazon Canada and in my local 3 store Walmart as well
So far I love it. Between trading in the switch I had and some games. I was able to pick up the switch oled and the collectors edition of Metroid Dread with no out of pocket loss. So I'm very happy.
Damn noys, btw after 8 months, how do u feel bout it? Is it still worth it? are the games fun to play and not boring? I kinda want to buy the oled but kinda worried bout the games since it's different from pc games.... I will appreciate any kind answer from u.. Ty
@@nate.3305 it's a great system. I play on it daily. I would however recommend if you have a friend that owns one. See if you can try it. See if you like it. But yes I would totally recommend buying one. The games are fun. But coming from pc to Nintendo will take some getting used to.
@@claytoncastleman9259 i see... Well im more into fps games like valorant, cod, apex... Switch is more into the retro games ig? Well yes ill think bout it.. Ty for the answer btw
I already bought it and I absolutely love it! If you don’t have a switch already, get the oled.
Great video loads of information I traded my old switch for this new switch love it it's way better 😊😊
I'm happy with my Lite. This isn't a big enough upgrade for me personally. Hope others enjoy it
Same
I’m happy with my launch edition switch
Same. I enjoy my Lite.
I mean yeah probably
It’s just another version of the same thing
I'm happy with my lite, might get the OLED for my brother though... I'm sure he'd love it
Seem like a nice upgrade, but I’m hold on to my current switch till switch pro came out in maybe 2-4 years.
I sold my OG switch for full price at the beginning of the pandemic and bought the Monster Hunter edition when it came out. As much as I wish I had the OLED there's no way I'm giving up this MH one
I currently live in a Switch-less household and was considering getting the "oh-ledd" for my Minecraft/Fortnite obsessed 7 year old. I feel like the extra £70-80 is money well spent going off your thoughts, so thanks for sharing your thoughts, Stuff Goblin. 😄👍

Thank you for the review. Just bought my first switch. Glad to know you guys recommend it for new owners
I got the oled on release date along with Metroid Dread and I couldn’t be happier about it! It’s my first switch. 👌
I've always used mostly Playstation consoles and haven't had a Nintendo consoles since the 3DS which I only used for Pokemon and the harvest moon games. The Switch seems to have a lot of great games compared to its predecessors so I'm thinking of getting one to try some of the exclusive switch games, mostly the Otome games and Harvest moon games, used to love those! I like the white colour on this model and like the way you can play it on TV as I don't really like handheld
If you liked Pokémon games in the past you’ll love the new Legends Arceus one.. best Pokémon game ever made. Worth picking up a Switch for!
The SWOLED is also good if you want to give your old Switch to someone like a friend or family member and get yourself a shiny new Switch with OLED.
Exactly what I’m doing, for my younger brother
Basically me. I'm planning to give my Animal Crossing edition Switch to my niece and get the OLED version.
I never had a switch. I was playing retro games on my phone with an emulator, but playing with a touchscreen was pissing me off, so I googled and found out a lot of my favorite retro games are available on the switch. Plus I've been curious about animal crossing, so I'm thinking of getting one. I think I'll probably play it mostly handheld, so I was thinking of getting the Switch Lite, but that thing's screen is way smaller than my phone's (my phone's is 6.8"), so... I think I'm just gonna get the OLED
Which one did you get! :)
@@henry-sh1zj I got the OLED and I'm quite happy with it
Nice Chicago 1s.
Mine are arriving in 2 weeks!! Keep up the good content!
Haven’t had a Nintendo system since SNES, but I’ve really been craving the simplicity of Nintendo games lately. I think I might jump on this for Black Friday
these handhelds are ridiculously expensive, just buy the most powerful graphics card and you can play every games on existence
As of September 2023 there's a $40 difference between the two models
What I'm considered about with the kickstand is that if will wear out over time. It seems like you have to rely on it holding itself in that position, but I feel like over time it will become looser and harder to keep up.
I love the portability of this system, I have a switch light and that's all I need. I owned a switch original and I never played on the TV even though I have a 70 in tv. I enjoy the portability of it and headphones right in my face I get really into the games.
I like laying down ad playing games

That extra space on the dock will probably help when you have your case on are docking it. My case made docking kinda difficult because it was tight.
Tbh it's not much of an update
If they had upgraded to 1080p as well, then it would have been more upgrade worthy IMO... If you have a switch, don't bother and wait for Switch Pro whenever it comes...
It really depends on how you plan to use your Switch (e.g. docked vs. handheld). If you're using your Switch as a handheld, the new OLED screen will be a huge upgrade, just for the improved contrast and colors.
@@SnakePlissken001 so some colors is worth $350😂😂 it’s still 720p
@@ROGALLYWORLD I take it that you're ignorant of what an OLED display actually is. Also, there's really no difference between 720p and 1080p on such a small screen. It's only until you scale up to a larger display when docked that the resolutions matter, and aliasing becomes more apparent.
@@SnakePlissken001 i have a switch lite and the games barley even stay at 720p ppl like your misinforme others and i won’t allow it have u played crash 4 on switch it’s a mess have u played doom? witcher? even mario odyssey’s new dink city has terrible aliasing and jaggies everywhere! an OLED screen alone isn’t enough to justify this price when they should have focused on internals
@@ROGALLYWORLD Why the hell are you even playing Doom and The Witcher 3 on a Switch? If you want to play those games, you're better off getting a gaming PC or even a last-gen PS4 or Xbox One X that can handle 1080p. You have to be realistic about the tech, and the type of games that fit a console's targeted demographics. Nintendo has never competed in enthusiast gamer markets, and people buy Nintendo consoles for the first-party titles primarily - that's where the Switch excels. That said, the aliasing on the Switch's screen isn't terrible for its in-house games. It just sounds like you have buyer's remorse, and had unrealistic expectations of your Switch when it comes to multi-platform titles. And I guarantee that if you don't like how your Switch performs now, then you definitely won't like the next-gen Switch, either.
As for the OLED screen, it offers full RGB (versus the pentile screen of the normal Switch), improved color accuracy and contrast, improved brightness, and higher viewing angles if you like playing your Switch with the stand. Notwithstanding the increase in price, it's already sold out everywhere.
I already know it's destiny when This pops up on my recommended While Thinking if I should buy one or not
2:41 My boy Jake with the drip. I see you bro. 🔥🔥🔥
To me this seems like that second version of the Gameboy SP with the brighter backlight which in my opinion is totally worth it. also that kickstand and speakers seem like a bigger deal than people have made them out to be!
I traded in my V1 switch for this one and it was WORTH it
Thanks! Been debating on wether or not to buy this or wait for the rumoured “switch pro”
So... are you waiting?
@@Chaozero27 yeah probably, I’d appreciate some of the upgrades but I know for sure I’ll get the 4K version and I’m not sure I have enough money lying around to justify getting the same console 3 times haha. Although the monkey part of my brain is yelling “oh new shiny, gimme”.
@@UniversalGaming11 I don't think it's gonna be a switch pro but an actual next gen console. At this point Nintendo is way behind tech wise so it makes sense for it to be that next step. The switch will be almost 6 years old by the end of 2022 so a new console wouldn't be out of left field tbh
There will be no switch pro. The 4K rumored switch will be the their next gen console. Probably switch 2 or super switch. This is conjecture but it’s also fairly obvious.
@@Patricswift Same here. The next gen Switch would make more sense. Nintendo doesn't go for being better then Xbox/PS hardware wise. But they are a bit behind now, also console cycles are like 8 years. Wouldn't make much sense to release a Switch Pro 2 years or so before the Switch 2 or whatever.
Love your videos Jake, also, shout out to that sick mummy shirt

What game is at 4:30?
I literally just bought 1 right before watching this video. Looking at peoples reviews over it as I download my games. For me, the OLED is a HUGE upgrade as I am upgrading from a Switch Lite, and still plan on playing mainly in handheld mode. The screen is massive compared to the Lite.
I have a Switch Lite and I also plan on upgrading for the Oled. It's only one upgrade but it's a huge one.
Picked mine up today going from a switch lite, BIG improvement! Screen is definitely the biggest upgrade of all.
P.S. Downloading games on Wi-Fi vs Ethernet is WAYYY slower. Highly recommend docking when you do your initial setup and game re-download.
no its not.
I'm really enjoying my OLED. The colors pop nicely and the screen size actually looks better. You have to experience it in person to understand. These reviews do no justice. I was one of those guys that didn't think it was necessary but as someone who plays primarily in hand held mode the OLED is totally worth it !! there's no way in he'll im going back to the old Switch. Time to hand it down.
My switch has gotten really slow and I play handheld 80% of the time so perfect for me.
Just bought a used OLED Switch that has apparently only been used like 3 times (looks perfect from the photos), with both Zelda games! Should arrive in like 3 days...so stoked!!!!
How you liking it? I have the changed to get a used but more new Oled for $150

Well I'm glad someone finally addressed outdoor visibility, unfortunately that unsold me on it because while a good 95% of my playtime is in handheld, at least 70% of THAT playtime is outside because I spend several hours nearly every day outside smoking cigars after work. It's a nice upgrade for people who want it, and a good jumping off point for people who don't have one, but I was under the impression that the higher lumosity of the screen being touted by Nintendo would increase outdoor visibility and that sadly doesn't seem to be the case. I'll hold out for the Switch 2.
Stop smoking. You’re slowly killing yourself
Can't wait for the valve steam handheld
I'm excited for the Steam Deck as well. I just got the OLED Switch and can't wait to compare the 2
