    Small Change, Monumental Difference

    For portable players, this upgrade is a huge one, the increased size and quality of the display, the new Kickstand and Speakers add up to a great value! The Contrast and Colors on the screen make me want to go back and play all the games in my library just to see how much bigger and better they look in portable now. The blacks are true black, and the general picture just pops significantly more and it really must be seen in person to appreciate. The size of the screen is also insane, while only about an inch bigger, in real use it feels WAYYYYYY more sizable and immersive. The Kickstand is similar to a Surface Pro, infinitely adjustable and reliable, doesn't fall off If you look at it wrong thank god. The speakers seem much clearer and louder but I haven't compared side by side. Also, the Dock is quite nice to look at, added Ethernet is a bonus as well!

    The Nintendo Switch OLED is a fantastic upgrade for anyone who enjoys handheld gaming. The new 7-inch OLED screen is incredibly vibrant and colorful, making games look better than ever. The console itself feels more solid, thanks to an improved kickstand that's perfect for playing on a table. Plus, the sound quality has been enhanced with better speakers, making for a more immersive experience without needing headphones. The extra 64GB of storage is a nice bonus, giving you more space to download and store games. For those who play a lot online, the new dock comes with a wired LAN port for a more stable connection. However, it's worth noting that the overall performance and battery life are the same as the original Switch. If you primarily play on your TV, the upgrades might not be as noticeable. But for handheld gamers, the improved screen and sound quality make the Switch OLED a worthwhile investment.

    Surprised my wife with this Nintendo Switch OLED for our 1st anniversary. She was over the moon! Picking up at my local Best Buy was simple and easy and with friendly service from staff. The switch packaging couldn't be more perfect. The OLED display produced a vivid image when used in all 3 modes such as handheld, table top, and television. This also came with different controllers like the joycon grip and the joycon straps that lets her chose how she wants to play a game. Battery life is up to 9 hours which was tested and approved by her, and charging is fast! This was the best gift I've ever given and I recommend this to anyone who enjoys playing games daily, or even on occasions. It's perfect for those rainy days!

    I grew up playing on GameBoys, Nintendo DS, and Wii. After the Wii I grew up and felt like I would never see myself playing anymore video games anymore. I recently gave in and got the Nintendo Switch completely forgot how to even operate these things but now I am obsessed again. I live my switch it is so convenient and the screen is so clear and vibrant. The package came sooner than expected and I had no issues with it. I love that you can buy several more of the detachable remotes for this one and have a game night with friends and family. It’s definitely worth the hype and is fun to play by yourself but also makes game nights so much fun with other people. So it is definitely versatile and very portable. It also has a little stand on the back of it so you can set it to where you don’t have to hold it. The pic shows a brown controller but that’s because I bought several other detachable remotes and you can get any color but this one originally comes with two white ones.

    What more can i say. I upgraded from the original switch to the OLED and i havent looked back. My previous switch i gave to my niece who enjoys it as much as I did. With the OLED the picture quality def improved. I enjoy the widening of the screen especially when its used as a handheld and im playing my games on my commute. I appreciate the ability to adjust the brightness of the screen as well as the now improved sturdier back end. It helps when playing multiplayer and stands at a easier angle for those other players you have included in your game. I can only imagine what the next upgrade will fearure. Looking forward to it

    This is amazing. So fun and easy to play and set up for multiple player options. No complaints. So many varieties of games. Brought me back to my childhood. Has jelped with my anxiety as well. My brain can focus on progress in games verses other thoughts. Cute case and cover options available on amazon.

    I really like the alternative colors on consoles, so this was on my radar for a while. My first experience with an OLED screen was the PS Vita, and it had such a beautiful image quality. This switch became a must buy for me, and I don't regret my purchase one bit. The bigger screen and beautiful image quality is worth every penny. I hope Nintendo's next console ships with an OLED screen from the start of the generation. Highly recommended if you are in the market for a new switch.

    This was a gift for my son. Last handheld console he had was a 3DS XL so when he got this, he was very ecstatic about it. He kept raving about the larger screen and how the colors are so vibrant. He also enjoys using it docked on the 65" for playing his favorite games. The only downside is its a bit uncomfortable to hold in your hands for long stretches of gaming so he shelled out for a wireless ZELDA controller (his fav character). Other than that, can't say enough good things about this OLED switch. Highly recommend it!

    This is my 8 th purchase. I brought my children of three a Nintendo light and I brought two oled and original switch. I had sold three for a PlayStation five. So I brought another switch for myself. They really are the champs. They may not have Sony specs. But the revolutionized the portable and at home consoles.

    After 3 years of wanting a Switch, I finally got my hands on one, lol! In 2021 when the OLED vers came out, my partner and I tried to get it but we couldn't cause we never pre-ordered and we weren't gonna be scalped for a Switch. So, we waited (and forgot that we wanted one) for a year and change and finally! Having played and observed both base and OLED models, the OLED really outshines the base. The colours pop more, the additional 2" of screen make the gaming experience more fulfilling. It also just feels bigger in the hand despite the dimensions being the same! If you ever wanted a Switch, I say get the OLED! You'll be happy.

    I'm actually enjoying it more than I imagined. The extra battery life is great. The brightness makes games vibrant. It runs noticeably better on some difficult games (hello Pokemon). If you only play at home docked, buy whatever is cheapest. But if you travel a lot (which my job now requires) this is amazing for long trips and down time. When my buddy has the wheel I'm doing great on my OLED Switch.

    Was contemplating for a very long time about whether or not if it was worth getting. Asked a lot of people if they owned the older version of the switch and the oled version. Surprisingly enough alot of people who had the older version said it was good idea to switch. So i finally pulled the trigger on it. Now , im loving evey moment on this game. The graphics is amazing for a handheld console. Best decision i ever made.
