The moment I turned it on I was blown away by its screen. Never understood the warm reception it got. It so much better than the original

I have it since launch. I love how much the oled is better build than the original. It’s more solid, it feels more quality. I just love it.

This device is so awesome. There are many portable options out there but the Nintendo Switch OLED, in my opinion, is the standard on how a portable console should be. I love the bluetooth (with Apple airpods pro) and is amazing with their noise cancelling feature. Great review/re-review, natural, organic and very close to how it feels, one year later, this console.

BRO, how do you have less than 100k subs...... like your quality and presentation are as good as the best of them instant sub from me. Congrats on hitting the algorithm right with this vid, as it looks like you are getting some recognition for your effort. When switch launched I was scared of it being underpowered and thought my money would be best saved for the first hardware refresh where framerates would be a little smoother. The OLED was a tad underwhelming when announced, but I was finally released of any buyers remorse. So i grabbed the preorder. The OLED feels like what the launch switch should have always been, polished and refined. Gone are the crappy kick stand and ugly screen bezels, plus there is a beautiful screen. Build quality has been improved a lot in general, and I'm not worried about my plastic vents cracking over time. Not to mention the switch in general fills a niche I have, of wanting to tote a home console to a friends house for couch co-op/party games. I keep the genki covert dock and switch in my backpack at all times. This means that if I grab a bag of controllers on my way out the door I have everything I need for the ultimate game night with the homies.... ON THEIR TV.... TLDR: Your content is awesome, I judged the switch to harshly at launch, OLED fixes problems I feel the og never should have had, switch is great buy one

Another very small change that is frequently forgotten is a small bump in storage. From 32 GB to 64 GB.

As a handheld player the Switch OLED was such a big upgrade, it feels better, joycons have yet to experience drift and the screen. Oh my god the screen is so much better, not only do I like the bigger size but the colours are so beautiful. I'm so happy I made the update for relatively cheap. ($220 with TOTK.)

One thing I really like with the Switch is that if you purchase the physical game card, it does not use the the internal memory of the Switch. I have a PS5 and it is always an issue for me when I purchase the physical game disc but I still need to store 50-100 GB of data to the console as well.

The most important factor is no drift on the OLED!

Thinking of upgrading from my day 1 switch to the OLED, so helpful video! I got a new job where I’ll be traveling a lot more and I think the OLED screen will be a game changer on the go.

I had a similar experience... my original Switch (bought it day 1 :D) is working fine...I didn't feel the need to buy the OLED version, even though the VITA had an OLED screen and it was a great experience. However, it all changed recently when I actually saw the OLED version in a friend's house. When I was at Gamescom, soo many people were playing on the OLED... Soo a few weeks later I bought one I splurged for one too. It's a nice upgrade :D, Nintendo made great choices to enhance the experience haha.

I’ve been debating on getting one. I’ve got the original gray Switch and I don’t usually play it in handheld mode. Seeing as how the dock isn’t updated to perform any differently than the original, I don’t see much of a need in upgrading to the OLED. I also have a hunch that in the near future Nintendo will be announcing the next new and improved Switch console that will also upgrade the dock with the OLED screen. For those reasons I think I’m going to wait. I love the OLED screen, though. I have an LG C1 OLED and I will never be able to play on anything less than that. The image quality and performance enhances it offers is incredible.

Just wanted to say for how small you are this is amazing video quality and if you keep it up and make sure to promote more whether it be through tiktok or whatever you will def make it. Great video

I just picked up the new Zelda OLED, and I think you hit the nail on the head. The difference in screen is really noticeable, not only in quality, vibrancy and blacks, but also in size. The kickstand is an enormous improvement as well. And as for the sound, the audio out of the OLED model speakers was considerably better than the ones out of my OG Switch imo.

Unreal that you don’t have more subs - really really well made video. Looking forward to what else you’ll upload!

Nice video! I just upgraded my switch to an OLED because my games kept crashing. I love the kickstand!

I upgraded from the v2 to the oled and our family used the oled way more compared to the older one. No regrets

I still have the v1 switch. I mostly play docked mode and only play handheld when the tv is being used or I'm outside. Battery was never an issue to me because I don't usually play for longer sessions. Mostly played 2-3 hours just enough how the battery lasts. I never had joycon drift yet maybe because I don't play aggressively. I think I don't need to upgrade for now. Maybe in 2 years i might but for now I'm satisfied with my v1 switch

The OLED was my first switch and I love it so much I got my kids a V2 Switch so we can play the games we like. Love that it can be played handheld as well as docked.

Hello @baldyrudy.. I just wanted to tell you that it was because of your video.. I ultimately bought a Nintendo Switch OLED... I have had it for a little less then a month and so far I have loved it. It's a great system and fun to play. All of the old Nintendo games and even some of the Sega Genesis library available... talk about nostalgia overload for someone that grew up in the 80's and early 90's. Well worth the purchase price of 449.00 CAD... Thanks again for the informative video.. Much appreciated...!

OLED was my first Switch I think they're enough differences, it's not just the screen that justified getting one for me

It's 100% worth the extre 50 bucks over the original. But, it was too expensive to begin with. Especially, with the likes of the Stream Deck only costing an extra 70 over the Oled Model. But, the screen on the Steam Deck doesn't deserve a place in the same room as the switch Oled. Plus, the Steam Deck isn't exactly small.

After my preferred childhood console, the ns oled is the best entertainment equipment I have ever spent my time and money on.

Got the switch lite when it first came out, and it’s still up and running. Haven’t had any problems with it. I bring with me everywhere I go.

Fortunately I was able to get a oled late last year. Though I have owned almost all of Nintendo's consoles aside from the GameCube I was never into their handhelds which is why I stayed away from the switch. Now I'm glad that I have it especially since I just picked up dread a couple of weeks ago on sale...👍😁

Subbed & shared. I am one of the unfortunate people that jumped on the animal crossing switch believing it would be pretty limited and then before I knew it I wish I would’ve waited 🤦‍♂️😅 But on the other hand I’ve been enjoying the switch regardless and I don’t play in handheld mode much. I just hate being limited to Wi-Fi only

burn in is non problem since you actually have to run the same image for a whole year to even make a dent on the screen so basically impossible with normal gameplay

0:07 Which-of course-were just rumours... And here we are in July, 2024... 🥸

Still feel this was just another cash grab by Nintendo. Minimal upgrades for 350 bucks. Should have just made the switch pro people have actually been asking for.

Good information, thank you for sharing your experience, in and of itself.

Thanks, I just picked up an OLED and Zelda along with Mario car 8. I love the screen the build, the kick stand. Didn't realize though Nintendo took away free to play online for a paid subscription.

I honestly thought you had like thousands of subscribers! Every subscriber is well deserved, if not you deserve more!

I just upgraded to the oled from my v2 switch and it’s amazing!!! I absolutely love it!!

I got one just last week and WOW it is beautiful and lot different. It's sounds better, kickstand is better, it's perfect

Great video! High quality B-Roll, and fantastic insights. You definitely deserve more subs!

I went for the OLED after my launch switch started to give out. I owned that switch for almost 5 years! it was time to upgrade anyways, and I am very happy with the OLED. I’m hoping Nintendo doesn’t release a pro model for a while lol.

i bought mine about 2 weeks ago now, never owned a switch, infact last nintendo console i owned was a 3ds, i am in love with the switch oled, its amazing, sure it doesnt run games as good as my PC and sure its 720p but for a handheld console its good enough.

I've just bought one of these to keep me occupied on my next long haul flight. Thanks for your video and info!

Ive had the v2 since 2020! I am going to upgrade today and I can't wait

My issue with Switch is game pricing. I have the OLED and I love it, but I've just bought 13 Sentinels on PS5 as it's £19.99 on PS Store, £49.99 on Nintendo Store. This has been repeated over time for just about every game on my wish list. Clannad £49.99, £12 on Steam!!!

I honestly love my OLED I’ll be at about a year and a half… roommate has the animal crossing and I can definitely notice an upgrade overall with the OLED. Seems sturdier and screen seems better to me… only thing I don’t like is the cartridge I feel like I have to be careful to not accidentally rip it off while switching games. Definitely worth it in my opinion overall tho!

underrated is underrated to describe this channel. excellent quality, didnt expect this to be a small channel.

Great video. I've had similar experiences with the Switch. For me, seeing the screen in person convinced me to switch systems. You're right, the OLED Switch worth the extra 50 dollars for new Switch purchaser. Upgrading from original Switch is okay, the slightly larger and better screen justified the purchase for me. But I mainly play in handheld, so those for who play mostly in dock, it's not worth purchasing a new system.

Just bought a switch pled a couple a weeks ago and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made breath of the wild and assassins creed black flag look beautiful and run amazing on it

Got the Lite in 2022 and I loved it. But wanted to have the OLED as well so I got it in August 2024. I know the next Switch is close, but I regret nothing. 🫶🏻😅

I totally agree, I’ve spent many MANY hours watching reviews and this was clear and perfectly reasonable advice!

I just bought one with the release of Tears of the Kingdom. I love the OLED its a game changer.

I've the OLED since day one. It was announced about the same time the Steam Deck was as I recall. I was excited and preordered both within the same week. Fast forward a year later... I still love it. The OLED model is a premium purchase, but the chassis is metal, not plastic, so that adds to the overall feel of quality with it. The screen looks fantastic and it's under glass, unlike the ISP screen that is under plastic. There's a few reasons the OLED is a great buy and a good upgrade if you're in the market. The 64gb internal storage upgrade is very nice too. A lot of people are commenting that at this point, the Switch is underpowered and needs a revision. To that I say: the Switch is the same powerful device it was in 2017 and is therefore not underpowered, and those that believe it is, just have self imposed expectations they're driving into a device that has remained unchanged. The Switch is a great platform, form and function. The games library is so massive that I'll likely never finish the games I have, let alone keep up with the games that are constantly pouring out. This is the first video I've seen of this nature, not to say it's the only one. I like what you touched on here. Good review and information that I would have used moving forward, were I in the market. Oh, I went from playing about 60/40 handheld to about 95/5 handheld with the OLED. It's THAT good.

Thank you for the review it helped me so much te know more about the oled , i was wondering if it was worth it and now i have positive feeling about buying it .❤

Im getting the nintendo switch oled in a week to two weeks. Cant wait.

I never bought an original switch, and I bought an oled 2 months ago as my first Nintendo console since the original wii. I love it. I play it on my TV 90% of the time, and I can grab it and go for my business trips. I got a 2 year no questions asked replacement policy on it for $79, so screw it... I take this baby everywhere on business trips. Nothing like playing 3-man Golden Sun with everyone in the seat row on a 5 hour flight.

Same as ever. A serious lack of good ports and a company charging £50 for 10 year old games. Sold mine and bought the Steamdeck

Just bought a zelda switch with totk, had a previous switch which my family gave to a sibling who was going to college and this video was very reassuring with all of the "switch 2" talk that gets thrown around now Honestly the switch has always picked up in areas most handheld dont those being comfart, ease of use and battery, had a steam deck which i traded for this because it didn't make up in those areas and because of that i would often end up just using my pc anyway

Imo If you already have a V2 then don't upgrade. If you don't have a switch then go with OLED.

I have the original Nintendo Switch and love it. If I have the money, I'll upgrade it to the OLED Nintendo Switch 🤠

I bought my Switch Oled back in March and I love it!

I've been considering replacing my v1 switch with the new Pokemon Scarlet and Violet switch because 1, It's really cute, and 2, I just really want an upgrade from my original switch. I'm not sure if I'll keep my v1 so I can have another island for Animal Crossing, or if I'll sell it/ give it away. The Oled model is definitely an upgrade from the original, however I also know that it's not really too much of an upgrade other than battery life and the look and feel of the console. I'm probably going to ask it for Christmas if I do decide to keep my original switch, however I just wish there was more of an upgraded console. Hopefully we'll get more news about a future console soon :)

I love the size of the OLED screen, but I had to return it because the pixels were so much more noticeable on the bigger screen compared to the smaller one 😢 they should have increased the PPI, but maybe they will for the next gen. That’s what I’m waiting for now

I LOVE mine, I came from a Seitch Lite so literally everything was a massive upgrade for me and I play exclusively handheld as my kids V1 Switch is plugged into our TV.

Just discovered your channel mate...great stuff..👍👊💯♥️

I upgraded to the OLED, and BEST DECISION EVER! I love how vibrant the screen is, and the sound quality, to me, is better. I find myself logging more hours on my OLED than I ever did on my V1 switch.

What should have happened is the og switch dropped to $249 and the oled model replaced it at $299.

WTF??? IT’S ACTUALLY BEEN A YEAR ALREADY??? 💀💀💀, comment section making me jealous too since I already got a switch

I got my first switch back in March and I’m not impressed. I don’t play it that often. Nintendo needs to come out with something new that is actually great. Not okay, great. OLED was on one of the PSP models. Maybe vita but it was ahead of it’s time. Way ahead. They need to bring a legit console or a handheld that can play games at 4K/60 or at least 1080/120. I love the PS5 and I would rather play it than the switch. If I had a Xbox X, I would switch between it and PS5. I even couldn’t find the switch at one point.

Only thing I don’t like about it is the green tint issue on the left side of my screen. I’ve had 2 of them and they’ve both had the issue. Other than that, the screen is beautiful and big.

Bought my switch about 2 weeks ago and man I love it prob the best console I've had in a very long time. Super smash is my game 🔥

My Conclusion: I think it’s superior in every way

I’m getting the new Pokémon scarlet and violet switch Oled I’m super excited

Although the OLED has a great screen, I still can't help but feel disappointed when the performance is still the same across the board compared to the other models. That's why I never had the urge to get this OLED model, especially since my day 1 Switch is moddable and mainly used in docked

I don't play my Switch in tabletop mode. I bought a set of Hori Split Pad compacts and a Pro Controller for docked; and couldn't be happier.

Never really wanted a Switch but I fell in love with the look of the new OLED Zelda edition and impulse bought it. It'll be a nice change from my PS5 and I'm stoked to get down on some games I've been missing out on.

My first switch was an oled and I haven’t had the opportunity to see the difference in screens until recently and my gosh is the old model so much worse the colors aren’t and good and the bezels wow

Welp you convinced me to go out and buy this thing, first console I've bought since PS1 and the last Nintendo console I bought was the original SNES.

Is this such a good handheld console that Nintendo can never go back to a conventional console style? 😄 Anyway.. I'm planning on getting one soon, but have been wondering about the rumors on a Pro/Super version coming out sooner than later... Should I wait or no

Hello, I'm thinking of buying a new console, do you think the Nintendo switch oled is ideal for me? Since I like to play FIFA, adventure and car games and also family games.

I have had both the oled and the original v2 model (i think) and i got to say i do like my oled screen, definitely brighter and more colorful. though i hate to admit it, since i got my steam deck, ive rarely touched my switch. but I don't regret upgrading to the oled switch at all, I had it for a couple of years before upgrading.

the oled DEFINITELY has improved speaker. a lot more bass and less tingyness in high notes.

great video man.. If I may add something, the OLED burn isn't what you should worry in Florida

The switch and switch olad might not be as good as the 3DS yet but i see a great future !

I'm still watching other people using and reviewing it, hopefully I will be able to afford it by next year.

Im getting a switch OLED for christmas and when I looked on the site with my father it said it had 64gb instead of 32gb. I am so excited, seriously, this is only my second nintendo games console. The previous one was the GBA SP. I got the PS Vita instead of 3DS.

I have the switch Oled. I couldn't play the Nintendo Switch lite on tv. So I brought myself a B-day gift last month, Nintendo Switch OLED. It's worth every cent. Now waiting on the Nintendo give us a Next-Gen system.

The OLED Switch is stunning, picked it up recently and really enjoying it 😊

What's the battery life like a year later? And compared to the older model does it deplete faster due to the oled screen?

I love my switch OLED, yeah it’s not the hardware upgrade that a lot of people wanted, but the screen is amazing. It makes the bass OG switch look like a toy in comparison.

I recall a covered accessory receiver in the bottom of the original NES; in Japan a variety of controllers supported it but in the USA nothing was really done. The same could happen to the rear receiver of the Switch OLED.

My left rail system stopped working as well so I have to use my pro controller nice work around replacing it 💪🏾💪🏾

Cool video dude. I just found you via RU-vid browse. Didn’t even know about your other channel until I saw the end screen. Will be watching more.

Switch Oled is so amazing the perfect handheld so far

Hi new to the channel really appreciate all your content and your opinion seems very fair. I'm afraid to say the zelda hype has gotten to me and i'm gonna buy a switch light , 😊Plus I've been dying to play Mario Odyssey since it released. I've never had a switch f y I , the oled is tempting because, duh ! But it's the end of its life there definitely a switch 2 or whatever so Instead of spending $400. + I'm going with a lite , thanks for helping my decision ❤

The OLED's just all around a better experience. Build quality is better, the screen is *much* better, audio is a little better, the kickstand's a thousand times better than the lower priced's model... Worth 50$ more? Heck, yeah. That's been basically clear since the OLED's start, and it hasn't changed since then. People will be asking for a "next gen" Switch until the day Nintendo's next console actually arrives (and then they'll start talking about the one after that), but if you still haven't got a Switch, the OLED's clearly the one to get.

I like how Nintendo kept the original switch and then waited a will then took criticism and made a better version by upgrading stuff and drift seems less but idk for me it hasn’t drifted. But good job Nintendo

I bought the oled switch last month, i love it. I won't lie, i'm still getting used to a joystick (i will buy a controller) so i'm getting a bit overwhelmed but i lobe it.

It’s crazy how much more premium the oled version feels than the original

I love my oled! Only thing I hate is I can't open the bit where the games go in!! I ain't got no nails haha

So in other words, all this guys trying to tell you is that there isn’t much difference at all between the OG Switch console and the OLED Switch console in terms of upgrading but if your someone who doesn’t have the switch and looking to buy one that is a premium console to go with the OLED. Lol this was all explained in a 7:17 RU-vid video in which he already had the OG switch to begin with but chose to waste his money and buy an OLED switch as well, hope this video helped everyone……..

Another cool feature with the OLED Switch is the base. It comes with an ethernet port.

OLED Model is my first Switch. glad I bought it, it's good and enjoyable.

I got the switch oled when it was released, but I found out I was sensitive to the refresh-rate flicker. So I sold it 2 weeks after some use and test. I loved it, it was so nice. I wished I could still have it :(

I wish they made the oled a little more powerful. 😢
