    If you don't have a nintendo switch yet then this is the one to get. Bigger display and better battery life (due to OLED display). The kickstand is much better and provides more stability when setting it up on a table. If you already have a switch and are not looking to have another then its not worth the upgrade.

    Definitely worth the $50 if you're shopping for a switch this holiday season. If you already own one then ask yourself if you do handheld alot, it is much better if you taking it around with those little improvement (screen size, oled battery life, and kick stand). Otherwise it similar to old switch when dock.

    Amazing product, my son loves to play games and the colorful graphics of the games are a special attraction. Excellent definition in Nintendo games, but be careful when the games are from other manufacturers because the quality drops, much more due to the game developer than the Nintendo product. I'm already looking at accessories so I can continue to take my video game wherever I want.

    I was debating what switch model to get for a long time, and a coworker suggested the OLED for the better graphics and slightly bigger screen size, and I was sold. Especially since it's only $50 more than the first version. The stand feels more stable as well. And the battery lasts longer than I expected, so that's great.

    BEAUTIFUL OLED screen makes all games POP

    I LOVE this OLED Switch SOOO much!! I had played with a switch before but never got one myself because I know as with Nintendo History that a more advanced version would eventually be released and even though it was sad to not have a 4K dock like rumours talked about for years, this OLED Screen is SOO BEAUTIFUL!! I'm a techie and artist who loves my visuals so I have high standards in screens. OLED screens generally are all good due to the tech allowing for deep to full black color values. This was SOO worth the wait because it's so vibrant, so deep of blacks you cant tell difference between display and bezel!, Twice the storage as old model so most people won't need to upgrade storage, a bigger screen so it actually utilitizes the amount of space it should have in the first place, the speakers are improved but most importantly the kickstand is the whole back bottom half with a beautiful and strong hinge so you have FULL angle control with reliability! If you can afford it it's DEFINITELY worth the upgrade and if you don't have a switch this is the ONE to get!!!

    Amazingly portable, the screen is beautiful. One thing that wasn’t clear to me at first is the motion control of the entire unit when it’s out of the dock. I thought the reported drifting problem was on steroids at first. Great pickup for traveling leisure and killing time. Breath of the Wild is breathtaking.

    Great Update if You Play Handheld!

    To preface this, I bought my OLED to replace my OG 2017 launch Switch. I only ever play my Switch in handheld, and when this was first announced I was skeptical if the upgrade would be worth it. My OG Switch was starting to show its age (with thousands of gametime hours) with battery life issues and loud cooling fans, so I took the plunge about a month after release. I can wholeheartedly say I LOVE THE UPGRADE. The smaller bezels and OLED screen are huge gamechanges for handheld players, the better sound and battery life is very welcomed as well! I can't speak to those who play docked, but for handheld users, the screen really does make a difference. My only small complaints are that 1) there seems to be some screen variances with slight green tint (does not effect gameplay however) and 2) because the OLED is ever so slightly wider, my Satisfye grip (as well as grips from other companies) will not work with it. Despite these two small quirks (again, they aren't major issues and don't affect how I enjoy playing) I'm incredibly happy with the upgrade.

    I love this toy! The graphics are amazing compared to the previous models; especially with the bigger screen. You enjoy the handheld experience a lot more. Just be mindful of the joysticks; a bit gentle sometimes.

    This is a cute system for a person who had the OG Nintendo and wanted to get back into it. I bought this for Mario Bros. I have hooked it to my television and it looks great. I have actually played it as a handheld more.

    It's a pretty great switch. Remember you bought this for the screen so don't expect a different experience from the OG switch. However, the battery life is vastly improved, the screen size increase is definitely a game changer, and the OLED feature does make games look pretty.

    I love the new OLED screen on the switch.. it has a much more premium feel than the original switch. Battery life is still decent and of course, the portability of the console means you can take it everywhere with you (and I do).

    Excellent Upgrade for Handheld Players

    The Switch OLED has amazing upgrades and benefits for those who primarily play in handheld mode. The OLED screen is a very big step up from the LCD, offers a larger viewing area, and is made of glass rather than plastic. The screen quality is superb, and it is legitimately difficult to go back to an older model once you get used to the OLED. Many games look so good that playing through them again on this screen is almost like a new experience. That being said, the actual internals are no different from the non-OLED models, so you get no extra horsepower or boost. If you play mainly docked on your TV, your benefits are limited to a newly designed dock that is not as tight of a fit, offers more ventilation for heat, and has a built in LAN port. It would not be recommended as you will see no other benefits, and Nintendo sells the new dock on its own and the older models will worth with them. But if you play a lot in handheld like I do, the upgrade is fantastic as has been well worth it for me.

    My daughter received this switch for her birthday and she absolutely loves it. The screen is nice and large and that makes for easy gameplay. The whole family likes to play games on it. We really like how you can connect to your TV for more fun. It's like playing the Wii, except in a more travel friendly version.

    The first thing I noticed was how beautiful the OLED screen looked. It has deep blacks and vibrant colors. Being able to play on docked mode with my TV as well as being able to take it on the go is a complete game-changer. There's some flexibility on how you can build your games collection. You're able to purchase games digitally on the Nintendo E-Shop or buy traditional game cartridges. There's such a wide collection of games that caters to both families looking for co-op or individuals looking for single-player games which makes the switch such a great purchase. I do wish though that the switch comes with more internal storage. I anticipate needing to buy another SD card in the near future to hold my digital downloads. If you want to keep a physical collection, it isn't anything to worry about. If you're looking for the best graphics and internals, you're not going to get it in the Switch. What you're really paying for is the Nintendo exclusives and flexibility to play it in docked mode or on the go.

    I already have a Switch but I knew I had to get this one for the larger OLED screen, if this is your first Switch, I highly recommend it, however if you already own a Switch, I may be hesitate, except for the OLED screen, theres no improvements in hardware and a little expensive.

    Got it as a gift for my wife to replace her broken one. The screen is way bigger, brighter, and easier to use. The kickstand is perfect and she loves it more than her old one. Highly recommend the updated Switch if you need to replace one or get a new one for yourself.

    Worthy Upgrade

    To stat off, before this upgrade I was rocking the Mario Odyssey Launch Switch. While it has served its purpose for the last 4 years, it was getting pretty tired. The battery life was not great, and the screen was small. I play in mostly handheld mode, never docked. When I heard that Nintendo was going to release an updated model, aimed at handheld players, I was all over it. First things first, do not pay scalper pricing. This thing is WORTH $350, but not anymore. Secondly, the screen on this thing is amazing. While it is not that much bigger on paper, but it looks alot bigger in person. The colors are 150% better than the original's screen also. When I first got it, I was popping in games and just looking at how much better they look. The battery life is also significantly better. If you are manly a handheld player and have a launch switch, I would say UPGRADE! We do not know when the "Switch Pro" is going to come, but this will definitely hold me off until then. BUY IT!
