Customer Ratings & Reviews

Bought this for my daughter as a graduation gift - The screen size and OLED clarity make this the perfect choice not only for gaming on the go but works amazingly well for apps like Hulu as well.

You might want to wait for the next generation of switches. It is a neat device for what it is, but the store is laggy, install speeds are incredibly slow, and the processing speeds are lacking. This definitely feels like it was released 7 years ago and ready for a refresh. 30fps is jarring and sometimes nauseating, especially in 3D games. If you've never gamed, or coming back after a long time, or If you aren't used to gaming at least 60fps, you might love this device. I recommend trying one out. maybe you aren't as sensitive to this as I am. Despite these negatives, I can still see this traveling with me when I'm on the road. Plus sides, battery seems great, it's portable, the storage is expandable, the screen looks great, and the docking system works really well. Also, there is a huge library of games. When it's refreshed, I will likely be buying one. I love the idea of couch co-op and the multitude of family-friendly games.

Absolutely well designed and fun to use. I am not a gamer and don’t like many games, but there are so many games available for Switch that everyone will find a few to play, and the switch is so fun and easy to use, I can’t imagine anyone having any issues figuring out how to use it. And the OLED screen is gorgeous. Super sharp and bright.

Not the Switch Pro that I was hoping for but the OLED switch is the definitive version of the switch for now. The OLED screen is larger, but not by much. You will notice the extra size but there is still bezel that they could have expanded towards. I have not noticed that the system play any smoother. But the screen has deeper darks and brighter light colors, and has more pop to the picture. I love the full body length kick stand. The battery life is roughly double that of the original switch (v1). I like the new cradle, it has an ethernet jack built in. I am very pleased with this version and think it is worth the extra cash over the non-OLED switch.

very happy with this console, the kids are loving it. its easy to use and load/buy online or just use cartridge games. i havent been able to explore all the features but the bigger kickstand and screen is a total plus! graphics are great but i cant compare to other console because i didnt own the later model but i do have to say its very nice!

I wasn't expecting too much of an upgrade since ive owned a launch Switch and it was pretty worn out but after owning the OLED for a while now its really shown its advantages. Bigger OLED screen is amazing to look at, every game jusf pops more. The joycons work really good so far (the older model would drift) Overall really happy with this product.

Being an older gamer makes me enjoy the extra screen real estate, it’s easier on my eyes to read the smaller text. Oh, let’s not forget OLED. BOTW looked great before but now it’s an entirely different level. Also coming from a version one with abysmal battery life, I play with the brightness all the way up, this things just seems to last.

Best portable game console PERIOD. Still well worth the price in 2023. The OLED panel makes colors pop, and the larger screen is even more immersive. Pokémon scarlet/violet looks GREAT on the OLED switch!

Major improvement over my launch Switch. The screen is mind blowing, and the battery life is drastically improved. The newer version of the dock is nice also, with the built in LAN capability. Still be wary of the common Joy con issues, which unfortunately Nintendo doesn’t seem to care to fix.

I originally had the 1 generation 32 gig model of the Nintendo switch. It was a nice consul overall. I did notice some lagging on games like Fortnite, roblox and minecraft. So, I finally decided to bite the bullet and upgrade to the oled and I’m glad I did. It’s definitely worth the extra $50.

After having some issues with my launch day Switch I figured it was finally time for an upgrade. After having this system for half a year I've got to say that this is a very premium feeling system. Stronger build with more internal storage, substantially better screen quality, sound, & kickstand. However for those who don't play in handheld mode this might not be worth the upgrade. Especially with the next generation system right around the corner.

Awesome. Upgraded from both original and Gen2. The OLED is absolutely fantastic. The colors just stand out more at you the screen seems bigger as result. More battery life. All in all its a great upgrade, however, if you play mostly docked then I wouldn't bother upgrading just yet, but if you play more handheld then this is the way to go.

Really like the OLED version. The stand on the back is greatly improved from the original version. The screen is really nice and I've just really enjoyed my time with it. Didn't feel like getting the switch 2 but the screen on my old switch was cracked so this was a good upgrade.

This is Nintendo’s best version of their best system. The OLED display makes it so much more pleasing in handheld play. The vibrant, eye pleasing colors and perfect blacks are a joy to behold. Believe it or not, the OLED actually makes the games seem more lively and fun. It also has longer battery life, built in Bluetooth and an improved dock with more ports. It seems to run completely cool as well. I’ve never felt it even start to get warm after hours of gaming. Make no mistake, if you’re in the market for a new switch, the OLED is the one to get. I am 100% loving my purchase and enjoying the switch more than ever with this upgraded version. Nintendo has the some of the funnest games too! There’s something for everyone.

Great switch! Not worth upgrading from the old one but i wanted an adult seitch the kids couldn't touch. Its pretty nice if you are in the market for a new one its worth the 50 bucks extra for the oled i like thw upgrades. Definitely want a sd card but dont need the switch brand

my 12 year old son would say the additional gigabytes from 32 to 64 was his number one selling point so he would be less worried about running out of space when adding games to the device. overall it’s a more sleek design and meshes well with other furniture or electronics in my home. It has a bigger screen and a better kickstand than the original model which easily broke off. affordability wise, if your budgeting, you could also go for the older model, which would give you a lower price point, but if you’re going to invest, you might as well invest in new.

It surprised me how many games Nintendo actually supports! I was between this and the Steam Deck, but I went with the Switch and I really couldn't be happier. Given the portability of the console, the various ways to play, and the literal thousands of games to choose from, it really made the purchase worth it. Plus, being able to buy both physical media and digital downloads gives lots of options for great deals on games. The OLED screen is large and bright with fantastic color, and it plays beautifully on my 4K HDR TV while docked.

Is this an upgrade to the previous Switch in terms of graphical power vs the 2017, version 2 and Lite Switch models? No! But is this still an upgrade? DEFINITELY!! I decided to take the plunge and I must say that I do enjoy games more on this OLED model. The option of a more vibrant screen and a bigger screen is really a more dramatic difference than I thought it would be. And in addition, battery life is better than all previous models, tabletop is load more stable than the previous models, the sound is better (not majorly) but still better. And there is 32 more gigs of extra storage which no one could complain about. If you don’t own a Switch, no-brainer, get the OLED. If you have a previous Switch, sell it for like $200 to offset the price of the OLED. $150 for the OLED is a good deal. Or, use the old model to gift to a family member or even mod it for urself. The fact is, the price ain’t going down anytime soon so no point on waiting for a sale. And we have no idea when the true next-gen Switch is coming; it could be 1 year or maybe 3. But even if it is a year from now, that’s still a lot of time you can play on the OLED before the new one comes. I don’t regret my purchase at all.

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.

I’ll start off by saying that I’m a casual switch gamer. I purchased the switch v2 a year ago and loved it but I found myself playing mainly handheld mode. When I found out a slightly bigger and better oled panel was coming out I was intrigued but wasn’t sure if I would purchase. Best Buy did a second release of them the day after the console came out and I managed to get my hands on one and… simply WOW!! This new oled panel is definitely worth the upgrade IF you mainly play hand held mode! It feels so much more immersive than the original and colors on games such as BOTW pop! So bottom line is… if you primarily play in hand held mode and are ok spending the money, you’ll be very satisfied with this product. If you are perfectly content with your current model and mainly play docked then it may not be worth the upgrade. But please do not underestimate how beautiful this new screen looks. Definitely worth the upgrade for me!
