    The upgrade is a must

    Honestly I was hesitant to make an upgrade to my Switch model 2018 Mario edition. But I got a chance to get my hands on the OLED version and decided to proceed and upgrade. The upgrade is not a minor but it offers some upgrades that are needed, more specifically the screen size and the picture quality and the kickstand received an upgrade and seems durable compared to the old one that broke after a month. Great buy.

    Easily my favorite Switch model

    My favorite Switch out of all the ones I’ve had by FAR. I had the Lite originally, then upgraded to the regular Switch, then finally treated myself to the OLED and it blows the other two out of the water. I play a lot in handheld mode so the screen size & quality was very important to me, and this does not disappoint! Gorgeous picture and vibrant colors. The all white look was also a big selling point for me as I always disliked the colors that the Joy-cons come in. The white Switch looks great on my desk or my shelf and I don’t have to worry about putting a skin on it (been there done that lol). My only gripe (and it’s a small one) is that the Joy-con buttons on mine at least are kinda loud and very clicky. I ended up getting a wireless controller anyway for when I play on a larger screen, but in handheld the ZR/ZL buttons in particular are a bit annoying. Not enough to make me dislike the console though, and honestly it might not even bother someone else, just me. Overall a great system and I’d recommend this over the other models any day. So glad I upgraded!

    Lite —> OLED = “WOW”

    I’ll say it’s a worthwhile upgrade from a Switch Lite. I’m brought it to my brothers house to compare an OG Switch with this OLED model, and it’s amazing when comparing. The bezel is smaller, screen = bigger, sound is louder but not better in any other way that I can tell so far. My absolute favorite part about this model is the OLED screen. I tested it by waiting for parts in a game like Yugioh or Super Smash Bros and put my thumb in front of the dark part. I could not see the silhouette of my thumb AT ALL. The black colors are totally black coming from this screen, and I freaking LOVE IT!! Everything pops!! (Don’t let the picture fool you, it’s much better in person, I can promise you that)

    This is definitely a great upgrade coming from the previous model. first, the OLED display is gorgeous something the original switch should of came with in my opinion, so much more vibrant and much brighter. secondly the speakers sound MUCH better with the OLED and the biggest thing for me was the inclusion of the LAN port which is fantastic. If you’re unsure about upgrading due to already having a switch and moving onto the OLED I highly recommend it.

    Excellent hand-held gaming experience. The larger screen size and OLED makes the games pop, much more so than the other Switch versions. Very happy with my purchase.

    Been into video games since the original Nintendo and felt like getting back to the roots. Well worth it to me, a ton of fun games. Yeah the graphics aren’t as good as other systems but I think that’s what makes it fun ! Even made it look like the O.G. console with the help of a skin kit.

    Im loving it! And so worth the bit extra cost for the OLED version. I was a bit skeptical at first in buying a new console, but I was a bit more nostalgic, so the access to the retro games from NES/SNES & N64 makes it worth getting.. plus the OLED screen looks great and the back stand is improved. The only thing is the controllers A/B/X/Y buttons setup are different from other consoles, so takes a few mins getting used to.

    If you're the type of person that likes to game on the go I strongly recommending grabbing the new OLED Nintendo Switch. I preferred to get it in white because it makes it looks very sleek. Although the upgrades aren't insane from the previous model, the new Nintendo Switch OLED screen looks way better than the previous model. I give it a 9/10, that extra point would have been if they included a free game with the console!

    Works great a brighter and wider screen then switch lite. It is definitely an upgrade. I been playing with it ever since i bought it. Can't put it down. Love the pokemon arceus game and animal crossing. I recently got justice league cosmic chaos game and it is cute to play batman, wonder woman and superman.

    I was not a big fan of the screen on the original switch, this is more catered towards the handheld users and also to drive people to play it handheld more. I love it, you can immediately tell how much bigger the screen is as soon as you power it on. Vibrant colors, deep blacks and it feels like you’re playing at a high refresh rate. You won’t regret picking one up!

    The Nintendo Switch OLED is an absolutely stunning game console. I am proud to say that I am now an owner of one, and would definitely recommend it to anyone of any age. Endless hours of enjoyment with a diversity of exclusive games to purchase for. It’s beautiful color display and distribution, plus the wider bigger screen and more studier built is much better than the original $300 USD Nintendo Switch.

    It's great, best way to play new Nintendo games. The Screen is much better than the regular Switch, the dock and tabletop stand have good improvements too. Only complaint is that I wish it had newer faster hardware than the Original Switch. Also, I LOVE the colors, it is far nicer for a minimalist set up than the previous colorways.

    This is the best Hand Held device I've ever owned. TOTALLY worth every single extra penny for the screen. Its even bigger than the original and has a WAY more sturdy stand to it. it takes regular Micro-SD cards but already comes with 64gb of storage! don't waste money on the original or a switch lite(unless you want to be able to put the Lite in your pocket but I rock big enough pockets that I can fit my OLED in them no problem(BUT GET A CARRY CASE) so that's no issue for me) and get yourself the premium model that will last longer and go the distance for some great games!
