It helps support the channel at no extra cost to you, so thank you!

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

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

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 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

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.

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

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

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 .❤

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

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.

I don't understand your subscriber count. Your editing is top notch and the sound quality is really good. You should have over a million subs with this quality.

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.

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.)

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

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.

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...!

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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.

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...👍😁

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

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

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

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.

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.

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 :)

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

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.

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

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.

People freaking out about drift fixed I got my og switch in 2020 and the stick will not click in on one of the sticks but both have never gotten drift and they have been sitting on my shelf collecting dust for 1 year. My other ones that I bought after oled released drifted within 1 month so I whent back to the undrifting broken ones

Nice video mate. Subscribed 👍🏻

Has anyone else had issues with the white joycons turning grey? I've tried cleaning them, but nothing seems to correct it.

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

Since I got the original, I've only been playing Yu-gi-oh (a card game - game) Now I'm getting into Octopath Traveler and Triangle Strategy. But those games feels more like something played on dock mode Is it worth the upgrade? I'm really not the graphics type of gamer...

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

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

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.

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 mine! idc if there will be a refresh of a new switch next yr! i wanna play the games, one of the best consoles ever made! would u think that the new switch that will come out next yr will phase out the old switch models or u think coexisting is possible? btw i subbed and liked! ❤

Forgot to mention the 64GB internal storage memory on the OLED model. For the extra $50 USD premium price for OLED model vs original Switch model and v2 red box model, you get; -Larger OLED Screen -Upgraded speakers -Upgraded kickstand -Upgraded internal storage memory -Upgraded television / monitor dock -Overall premium build quality with glass screen that has no air gap, smaller screen bezels, and other small changes to cosmetics, such as regulatory info printed on the back of the hardware / underneath the kickstand, fan grill, game card flap, etc.

ive wanted the switch since release as a little kid and now im dubble my age and finnaly got my switch the oled switch was my first one and honestly its better ad more then i wanted its honestly so good its like a portable xbox

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.

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 never got drift on the white joycons

Hi, sorry to comment everywhere but recently been divided between OLED and life. Considering buying another lite purely for colour reasons. I have as you know the OLED Zelda version and downloading Tears of the kingdom. Not sure what to keep because I love the lite and how it feels and plays but then I like the big screen and dock mode from time to time. When I play games, I don’t often play for hours at a time. It’s always going to be me playing a switch so most games I’ll play will be purely single player. Any advice?

In my case, I can find a "red box" switch for 240€ and an OLED switch for 340€. Considerinf this is a 40% increase in price, do you think it is still worth it going for the OLED version? I am particularly worried about the burn-in... I know the "1 year+" always on tests are unrealistic, but I don't wanna have to throw away my switch in 2-3 years if I play a lot... What's your opinion?

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

Crazy I just noticed the screen on my note 20 ultra is bigger than the switch screen

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.

As someone who likes to play games on a TV, and owns an OLED TV, is it worth the extra price?

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

I just got one a few weeks ago, white one which I had a choice between white and the red and blue OLED to me the white one looks better than the red and blue one no big deal if I want red and blue I order me those joy cons colors or at least the silicone case for them. I'm wondering if the joy cons sold on Ali Express is a good buy but they are knockoffs and there's a worry it might kill my switch somehow.

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.

I JUST bought the switch oled. just learned about a switch 2.0 possibly coming early quarter next year, should i have waited?

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.

The green tiny that comes in on the right side with Dark theme. There are cons to the OLED model also.

will you do a giveaway? Nice channel at first i thought you will have more subscribers but u have one more now keep up

How do y’all feel about the Nintendo switch lite and is it okay for the new Pokémon scarlets and violet

I’ve never owned a switch but my brother in law has it and it was super fun to play with the family. Is version 1 switch device compatible with todays games or are the games only compatible with version 2 switch device? P.S. I don’t know anything about gaming world 😅

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.

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.

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

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.

Hello. Thank you very much for your videos. These are very helpful. I have a kid 7,5 years old. what do you suggest for a present? The Nintendo Switch Oled or the Nintendo Switch Lite. My criteria is how easy is to play - considering the age - and which have the best and ''protective'' screen for Kids' eyes!!. Thank you

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

I love my switch lite but every time I use it I always try and find ways to have it on a bigger screen the switch lite is great for traveling on the boat and plane etc but I just wish the the lite had the tv components and plus i have an Oled Tv at home which i could connect it to so i might upgrade for the tv function and oled function and get the switch oled for my tv

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 ❤

I love the free to play options

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

Hi Hello Good Afternoon from UK. What are the games on Nintendo switch like?

I also had no desire to get the oled, I had a regular switch already but when splatoon 3 came out I went to Walmart to get it and it was on the shelf and everything but they said they couldn’t sell it so I said screw it I’ll buy a oled switch and just get it digitally. Absolutely love the oled

are we expecting a switch 2/pro/super/whatever? has nintendo hinted or something?

I love the screen, I love the build, my only issue is a number of the more ambitious games run really low resolutions on handheld but besides that I love it. I hope Nintendo’s next system doesn’t regress its build qualify

I never used the dock i dont like sitting ibfront of a tv

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

I never had Nintendo before, will these work outside your house like when you are traveling. Or you need a WiFi to work…

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

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.

Newbie question - Do you know if all games for Nintendo Switch require the online membership? Are the games like iPhone games where in order to move forward you have "In app purchases"

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

if you have receipt you usually still have warranty

Set the screen to standard not vivid. It’s too overblown on the default setting out of the box.

could you do a video on how you repaired the rails?

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