    The Screen Isn’t that Big of a Deal

    If you already have a Switch, this isn’t worth the upgrade. The OLED screen is nice but it doesn’t change that much in most games. Is it better? Sure. Is it 200$ “better”? No. Honestly, if there was a program to exchange old Switches for OLED for maybe 50-100$, I’d recommend it to everyone but if you sell original switch, you’ll only have 150$ or so… while this one is 350$ plus tax. The low quality textures, poor PPI and resolution dipping below 720p with framerate dipping into 20s is just not acceptable no matter how good the first-party Nintendo games are. Judging by the amount of revisions we got with 3DS (original, XL, NEW 3DS, New 3DS XL, 2DS, new 2DS XL), OLED won’t be the last one. It seems like a replacement for the basic version of the Switch… so hopefully a powerful revision is on the way. The games deserve more than what the system limits them to. Other than that, if this is your first Switch console, of course it’s better to go with OLED. Ideally, find a way to look at both . I personally didn’t think that OLED screen makes that much of a difference. It’s better but remember, the you tubers who say it’s “mind-blowing” aren’t buying these with their money, they get paid for keeping promotional items and reviewing them, so of course every new tech for them is “a must”.

    My family loved the old Swirch but it was time for a new one. This one is even better than the original one.

    Love the OLED screen. The Ethernet port is also a plus. However it is powerless against Nintendos lack of support for Nintendo Online. Wish Nintendo put more effort in making their online platform better.

    We love it. Nintendo always makes great products. I do want to make this review about Best Buy also because we buy everything we can from Best Buy because we appreciate having a showroom to go to instead of only buying online. Best Buy price matches and they give a showroom floor with people who are well trained to help you. As a family who already has Best Buy total Tech program, we appreciate bedt buy making this so much easier to buy than anywhere else.
