Customer Ratings & Reviews

As an owner of the original switch, and one who plays in handheld mode often, this model is superior. Whether you’re a gamer or casual, you will notice the small upgrades. If you don’t play in handheld mode often, it may not be worth the upgrade.

If you play mostly in handheld mode, it's a really nice upgrade over the original model. If you play on a TV, it's mostly the same thing.

This is definitely the Nintendo Switch model to get. Everything feels way more premium and better built than any of the previous models. And of course the OLED screen is not only larger, but looks better, thanks to the deeper contrast and more vibrant colors that OLED screens give.

The build quality and screen on this system is stunningly gorgeous. Vivid and bright, it honestly makes me want to re-engage with all of the games I’ve already played because they look SO good on this screen. As a predominately handheld player, this upgrade for me was 100% worth it.

I wish I bought steam deck instead of this but my wife likes it so...

I hooked my daughter up for her birthday and bought her this! She had a 3DS and was blown away when she saw this! Played it for a few days and she absolutely loves it!! The OLED is only 50$ more and it’ll be the best 50 extra dollars you’ll invest into a game system.

Amazing device! Mostly working and this hand held has really helped me keep my gaming passion alive

I bought this for my great granddaughter so she can play with her brother.

Much more well made than the previous version. I love the bigger, prettier screen, but most of all I love that it doesn’t feel like it will fall apart in my hands due to cheap construction like the original switch did.

I’ve only bought one game so far for this but I have played it every day since I bought it. The kickstand on this is so much better than the original switch. My only complaint is the issues with the controllers but I heard they were working on a fix for this.

Absolutely love this! Use it every day, battery life is amazing on it too. A lot of down time at work and this lasts me all day!

OLED is such a huge upgrade for anyone who plays handheld. If you don't play handheld much, it is basically inconsequential. For someone like me who updated their primary display, laptop, and phone to OLED after experiencing OLED, this was an obvious purchase.

The larger screen makes a big difference. I okay mainly handheld and it’s perfect for playing games like stardew valley, and other open world games.

First time owning a switch, but i have some devices with oled so I knew if I wanted one I’d end up buying this one. 100% satisfied with it! Playing games is a blast I’d say. And the colors just POP!

Nintendo Switch OLED is superior for your mobile play on the go needs!

I'd say this is a worth upgrade if you play primarily tabletop or handheld like me. Smaller bezels and the rich colors really make a difference if you're playing for hours on end. One thing I don't like is the game cartridge slot. The original switch has a notch to open it while the OLED has no notch which makes it a pain to pop open if you have short nails. A minor thing is the bezels are shiny black plastic which scratches at the slightest touch (even wiping with a microfiber cloth). You can only see them under bright light but knowing that the scratches are there still bothers me.

Great little gaming console for people that like to move around, but still want to use it on the TV when at home. The battery life was pretty good also.

The console is so good. Great exclusive games. Fun for family and friends gathering. But maybe you could wait for switch 2 to be released, since nintendo is focusing on their new console and not releasing many games for switch at this time.

Massively improved Screen but otherwise the same Switch that has been around for years. If you are in the market for one it's the best option by a wide margin thanks to the Screen and Stand improvements. New Dock having Ethernet is also a nice bonus to the unit.

Originally bought this console to possibly sell it to one of my friends’ children for Christmas at its MSRP-plus-tax charge because of its shortage and scalpers’ prices. As we have gone to another social distancing mode because of the Omicron variant, I figured that nobody would want it anymore as we wouldn’t be in our usual annual gathering. So, I personally opened and tried it on my own after the new year, and was genuinely surprised of how good the system while trying to learn some of its nuances. While it is not my primary choice of “play,” there are some exclusive games which I hopefully will enjoy after ordering them online this weekend. Thank you, BB, for keeping your customers informed after the store re-stock, as well as complying with my special request to put it inside in one of the generic brown bags to keep it inconspicuous after leaving the store for work, and keeping it in the car for the rest of the day.
