Customer Ratings & Reviews

There are two groups of people that this product will appeal to, and as a result two different ways to review it. The first is as someone completely new to Nintendo Switch, and the second as someone who already has an older version. The five star recommendation is for someone who has never had a Switch before, and what I'll be talking about first. Nintendo games. Zelda, Mario, Pokémon, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Splatoon, Smash Brothers, etc. You can't buy these games for any other current home console, and it can even be taken on the go with 4-5 hours of battery life. It's not a powerful console by today's standards, but it can still play at HD resolutions 90% of the time. The ecosystem is a less endearing. The eShop is cluttered, playing online requires a subscription, and you can't keep any legacy content offered on it - not to mention you may never get to play the old game you want to play at all. As an example, the Nintendo 64 system just got its first games on the platform over four and half years after it launched, and still has bugs. For N64, it's also an additional charge to the NES and SNES games. So not great. Overall, the Nintendo Switch's best qualities are its enormous library of incredible exclusive games, and the flexibility to play anywhere or any way you want to. Its biggest liabilities are a greedy parent company that knows many of its fans will be willing to pay any price for their services on their terms, and a relative lack of console power. There are reasons to be excited for Switch, but there are certainly aspects of its ecosystem that could be much better. For people that already own a Nintendo Switch, this version does not change much - especially when playing on the TV. I don't recommend getting it if you already have a Switch, unless you really don't mind the small upgrade and full price new console. This version adds a larger 720p OLED screen, doubles the storage, and changes a few things on the console structurally. The new Dock has a native ethernet port, however this will be available as a standalone purchase at another time. Specs of this console Screen: Samsung AMS699VC01 CPU/GPU: NVIDIA ODNX10-A1 (Custom TegraX1 Processor) RAM: 4GB Dual-Channel LPDDR4X RAM Storage: 64GB eMMC (Samsung KLMCG4JETD-B041)

Oled great picture quality. The joycons i suggest some other than company. Joycons may or can be better. The battery life is good an outside day or with the children at home. As well as the oled the design and color as a preference me like but feels greta in the hands and the games on the oled switch is fun to enjoy. Now the storage may be okay on my account but after all the buying for memeory its well added to notes to at least buy a 64gb memory is good if you dont need many games i have about 7 games for 32gb and for the eleast to say it great.

Love my switch oled. Great screen, great battery life, great games.

Gotta love the Nintendo Switch as a system that can be either played on the main TV or portable, as needed. The OLED model has a bigger screen and looks more updated. While I haven't compared them side-by-side, the new OLED model likely also has better colors and more depth of contrast due to the OLED nature. Definitely suggest over the old version if you can spare the extra $$. While we also have a PS4 and are likely to get a PS5, you can't beat the family-fun classics that come from Nintendo. Graphics not as powerful as the XBoX nor PS4, let alone the PS5 and other next-gen systems. Overpriced for the hardware you get, and games are definitely more expensive than they have any real right to be compared to the other systems.

I must say I was excited to get this. Not because it was the latest model of the Nintendo switch, just the fact that I was able to get it since I wanted one for awhile now. The color on this OLED screen makes all the games POP. The clarity and graphics are crispy clear. The size of the display is a nice upgrade. Definitely get this! Worth the extra what? $50?! White is pretty clean and appealing.

So this is a little gem. I have rheumatoid arthritis so i can not play games on my cell phone because my hands and fingers do not work like a normal persons hands. I love playing games and this brings back memories of my Nintendo when i was a kid. I paid $20 to get the year subscription to the switch network and i can play any and all Nintendo games i played as a kid. Mike Tysons punchout well its called punchout now but also the original Mario brothers and Metroid and i picked up a couple new games Need for speed hot pursuit and the new Mario brothers 3d world and fast and the furious to name a few and the screen is so amazing. The quality is no were near your older handheld systems. I gain a few bonuses playing on the switch as in a brighter way bigger screen than my phone and the battery seems to last forever. If i want i can hook up to me TV and the controller transforms into 2 separate controllers so multiple people can enjoy the switch on any TV to play multiplayer games. The best part is when im playing it the controller is way bigger than trying to play games on my cell phone so i have 0 trouble controlling the games it works great.

To preface, the Switch OLED is aimed mostly towards people who play in portable mode primarily. The Switch OLED offers no benefits to those who play in docked mode, beyond the addition of the LAN port (Ethernet) in the new dock. However, even if you primarily play in docked mode, you may change the way you play after getting this. The Switch OLED’s screen is beautiful. That’s even an understatement compared to the underwhelming screen on the original Switch. It is a night and day difference. Even more apparent than the gorgeous OLED colors is the screen size. Although, on a technical side, it is only slightly bigger, it makes a big difference. I cannot stress enough how much of an improvement the larger screen is. Games like Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Breath of the Wild benefit from this screen increase by making it easier to see inventory screens and smaller world-based details. The new stand on the Switch OLED is exactly what we should have had on the older Switch. The stand has a smooth resistance when opening and closing it, which helps you to situate it in just the right angle. It is sturdy. I wouldn’t worry about it falling over at all, unlike the last Switch. In the end, I believe the Switch OLED is the perfect upgrade to anyone with an older Switch, or someone who primarily plays in portable mode. The upgrades, although relatively small, make a massive difference in gameplay enjoyment. If you manage to get your hands on one of these, you won’t be disappointed.

I recently purchased the Nintendo Switch – OLED Model from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! The vibrant OLED screen makes a huge difference — colors are richer, blacks are deeper, and games just look incredible whether I’m playing handheld or docked on my TV. The improved kickstand feels much sturdier than the original model, and the upgraded audio really enhances the overall experience. I also love the sleek white Joy-Cons — they give the console a modern and premium look. Best Buy’s service was great as always — fast delivery and secure packaging. For anyone thinking about upgrading from the standard Switch, this OLED version is absolutely worth it. A fantastic product and an awesome buying experience!

Little more can be said about the Swicth. I like it, the kid's addicted to it, and it is an improvement (slightly) on the original console. We sold the old one and got this. The way I look at it, I ended up paying a little more to upgrade the console screen, stand, battery (remianing life), an the joycons that had drift. A lot of family fun for Nintendo fans

I love this Nintendo Switch OLED! I have had my Little Nintendo Switch Lite for years but felt it was time for an upgrade. It is easy to set up and gives you options for play. You can play on tv, on your handheld or with the convenient adjustable stand. It charges quickly and explains a lot to you. Tons of games you can get for it!

Bought it and haven’t stopped using it since, the ability to take it with me everywhere i go and then just come home and connect it to my tv is incredible. The battery life is surprisingly good and it’s perfect for long hours of playtime, the switch is also perfect for playing with friends and families with the amount of games and the capability to just remove the controllers off the switch and turn them into 2 different controllers! WOW

Love this Switch screen is way better for one. Kickstand is made way better on this model. and also an extra 32GB of storage still ain't much, but being able to put a MicroSD card in for storage helps. Recommend buying a MicroSD card right off the bat epically if your buying all digital games.

Great compact console. Nintendo online offers plenty of new and nostalgic games for hours/days of gameplay. Love the portability and the compatibility with docking station. OLED doesn’t offer much more than original version, but a nice upgrade on battery life and graphics. Owned all three versions of switch and this is the best.

I originally just bought this game for Pokémon. I've been nothing but a fan. The switch works great. I do prefer this one over the switch too. My brother has the switch too, and it performs almost identical except for slightly bigger.Obviously so not worth the extra money but really, really happy with this product

Upgraded switch with brighter screen. Definitely had to get new storage as games keep getting bigger, and you cannot just move the card from one switch to another. The joy cons don't have any drift, but i had the original switch for years before it was noticeable.

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.

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.

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.

The OLED screen looks really good definitely nicer than the original model. Battery life has been solid, and the new kickstand is actually useful. I mostly use it handheld, and it’s been a good experience overall. Not a huge game changer, but worth it if you’re upgrading from an older model.
