Customer Ratings & Reviews

We have both the normal Switch, and this, the OLED model. They perform exactly the same, but the OLED model is far better. The screen is bigger, and because it is OLED, every game looks amazing on it. The black is black and the colors really pop. I feel it's totally worth the extra money.

My kids are 6 and 11, and they love playing with the original wii that we still have, so getting the switch was a natural transition into the handheld genre and I also love the ability to play it on the tv. They’ve played a variety of games so far, mostly Mario Kart 8 and Bluey. The graphics are terrific, and the battery life on full charge is amazing.

[Employee of bestbuy] I love the Nintendo Switch and games from Nintendo. They’re always super fun for everyone, and with the Switch, it makes it super portable when you want it but also a great device to connect to the TV and play with the family. Such an awesome and fun device! I purchased it just before the announcement for the Switch 2, so I did end up returning it, but the product itself is great.

Very great product! My wife loves it so much and I’m so glad Best Buy had the product stocked that way I was able to get it on a short notice!

Was very excited to learn about the OLED display upgrade right after needing a second Switch at home. The upgrade comes with a slightly bigger OLED display that makes colors pop, great for those who play undocked. Quality of life updates include the dock redesign to avoid scratching, but the added roominess may feel a bit shaky when docking the Switch. The Switch shell is now metal, but at the cost of the cartridge insert feeling a bit finicky when opening and closing it. The short stand is now a full-length stand, which is so much better in stability. No need for an external Ethernet adapter as it's now built into the dock. You can now get it in black and white (much like the PS5) or in the good ol' neon red and blue. Transfer process was a breeze and I moved my games and Animal Crossing island without issue. The only annoying part was having to reregister my games on the home screen by plugging them all in one at a time, since I picked up a new MicroSD card. Altogether, a definite upgrade for those who play portably and are looking for those quality of life changes, but for those who mostly stay docked, you're probably best off waiting for a trade-in deal or a potential future Pro model.

Ok, so I had the original launch switch and upgraded to the animal crossing version not to long ago. I bought this as well and 100% do not regret it. If you play in docked mode, just keep the switch you have. If you play in portable mode or are purchasing your first, just buy it. The screen is beautiful. It makes you want to replay all your games.

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.

I saw this on display at Bestbuy. The screen quality was great. I thought about it for a few days, and made the purchase. Let’s start off with that I’m 49 years old, and like old school games. At the time of purchase, I wasn’t aware of the Nintendo online for the switch. I signed up for a plan and then saw all of the available games and gaming systems available for a free download, such as NES, Super NES, Gameboy, Gameboy advanced, Nintendo 64, SEGA. All that is available with expansion package. With having the Online you can order exclusive wireless old school NES controllers. They make the experience more enjoyable for me. Needless to say if you’re on the fence about getting one, then just get it.

It has an excellent screen and games to play. While it does have the tendency to drift after a couple months, I wouldn't say to avoid it.

A worthy upgrade from the original Switch. Every game feels refreshed in handheld mode. The screen size increase along with OLED makes things feel “HD”. Colors are definitely more vibrant. Better sound and feels a bit sturdier. Love the Docking station upgrades as well despite it not changing the overall docking experience in-game.

This was a great purchase. Love playing the classic Nintendo games as well as the new games. It's nice being able to play on the go or docked and displayed on the TV. This a versatile and fun gaming system. Images look great on the OLED screen.

Bought this for myself and was delighted to find they have some console games like rdr, snow runner and some other cute Nintendo games. Definitely a fun family oriented console as well with the joycons that remove. Must have console for on the go and just a my wife is watching tv and I want to play something that I can toss down If need be.

If you love nintendo games + amazing graphics then this is what you want! My girlfriend and I had the original model and used it frequently for a couple of years! Eventually we decided it was time for an upgrade, so we went all in on the OLED Model… WORTH IT!

Works great no issues love the color highly recommend

Beautiful piece of technology, absolutely stunning graphics and the screen size is so much better than its predecessor. 5 starts definitely recommend.

From the standpoint of an upgrade to the existing Switch, the OLED mostly delivers. It's sturdier, has a bigger screen and small bezel, and feels more premium. The OLED screen itself is considerably brighter and more vibrant which complements the colorful Switch library well. The increased system storage is a nice bonus too. That being said, the under-the-hood improvements are pretty much nonexistent which is fairly disappointing considering the price. If you can afford to swing the money because you want a nicer handheld experience, I recommend the OLED. If you primarily play docked, or this would be a difficult financial decision, I would definitely recommend waiting for any further updates before investing in the OLED.

this is a switch with a better screen, games look great but don't expect Netflix Hulu to get better since they don't exist on it which sucks. if you don't have a switch and want one get this one if you have an old one get the white Joycon and that's it and its excellent because it just improves the handheld version of the switch so yeah

The OLED screen of the new Switch is definitely worth the extra $50 dollars in price. Pictures and videos simply can’t show the sheer beauty of this screen, you have to see it in person. While there is no upgrade in power as far as the performance, the OLED panel and bigger size in screen are worth selling your old Switch and upgrading.

I like this console. I can play wherever I am. Very mobile. Nintendo always makes good product. And thank you to Best Buy for grate product.

Got my switch during the hype of the switch 2. I’m new to the switch world but really enjoy this one for being my first one.
