    The Switch OLED is fantastic

    Honestly if you already have an original Switch, the OLED is still a great upgrade. A much better screen, more storage and a superior kickstand for just $50 more than a standard Switch? It's a no brainer decision. While it's certainly worth it if you primarily play in handheld mode, if you spend most of your time playing while docked, then it probably isn't worth the price of admission for you.

    The OLED screen looks amazing with vibrant colors and deep blacks. The battery life is good, the larger screen is a big improvement, and the system works flawlessly both handheld and docked. One of the best Nintendo consoles I have owned. Highly recommended.

    Loved my day 1 Switch. Never had issues and was reluctant to buy this. Boy, am I glad I did. The OLED screen is making me go back and play games I beat ages ago, so I can enjoy the OLED view. Battery life is a HUGE improvement. I never had issues with drifting, so I am hoping that's the case here. If you play mostly docked, even that has an upgrade. Ethernet built in at the cost of a USB port, but whatever. But if you play strictly docked, then this might be fore you. The white matches my PS5. Love it love it love it.

    I've been playing this for about a month now and must say that it a slight improvement over the previous model Switch. The better screen is great for handheld, especially if it is being used with the stand and a pro controller. The stand is MUCH better than the original Switch. The old switch had the little stand on one side where this one is nearly the width of the whole unit. I've done some long play sessions on it without it getting too hot or lagging. It's definitely a good improvement over the older Switch I have.

    I saved up for so long to get this and it was worth every penny! The battery lasts so much longer than I expected it to and the controller functions are so cool. I only wish the games weren't so pricey I only have a few right now.

    [Employee of bestbuy] You get everything that makes the Switch great, along with the new and very improved kickstand, additional internal storage, and of course -- the new beautiful OLED display. I personally love OLED screens, and this one passes the test. It is a substantial upgrade from the older LED screen that didn't quite have as much brightness or contrast as we wanted. Ease of access is hindered for people upgrading from an older Switch in my opinion. The data migration process for taking data from an older Switch is an absolutely convoluted mess that doesn't need to be nearly as complicated as they make it. Even if you put everything on your SD card and swap it to your new Switch, it isn't that easy. Prepare to redownload ALL of your games. Also, for use in Animal Crossing, be very careful and follow the precise directions that involve downloading the Island Transfer Tool from the Nintendo digital store.

    It's a great upgrade if you own an original Switch from 2017-2018. I sold my original Switch for more than the original value since it was a HAC-001 moddable unit and bought this one. Kind of puts the Switch Lite in an awkward position considered this was designed with more of an emphasis in handheld with the screen. Nonetheless with the combination of the double battery life, beautiful screen, and wired dock, you're getting the best model right now. It is worth the extra $50 if you're a first time buyer.

    The screen on this new version of the Switch is gorgeous. The screen slightly larger than the old version and it can get so bright while maintaining black levels that are truely black. The kickstand is WAY better than the old one as it spans the width of the back of the switch. I'd highly recommend upgrading to his OLED Switch or just making it your first purchase even if it's a little more pricey.

    Definitely happy that I went with OLED. The colors are well defined across the spectrum. I haven't had to delete any games when downloading a new one yet. Everything moves pretty seemless regardless of docked or handheld.

    This thing brought a part of my childhood back. I had been debating for a couple years weather or not I should get one and I finally did. Im very pleased with it. It has decent battery life and the rest of my family loves it too. Paired it up with the nintendo online + expansion and ive been able to play several of the older games i played as a kid. I highly reccomend the switch for anyone of every age its been a blast.

    Such a wonderful console. The beauty of the switch is games on it look great despite running at 720p in handheld mode. Having an oled screen really brings out the best in nintendo’s animation style. This isn’t a must have but it is fantastic. if you already have a switch, this isn’t a successor and if you plan on only playing in TV mode, I’d say get the normal one and use an $10 Ethernet adapter if you need.

    We love our switch!! We love to play especially when our friends come over and we always have the BEST time! And when they bring their controllers, we can all play together! I love that it’s compact enough to also take it to travel on the road or to a friend’s house too!
