    Worth it if you don't have a switch

    This is my first switch, and I must say I'm very impressed the screen looks amazing. I've done my research, so I know most things haven't changed from previous models that said its still worth a buy if you are new coming in. I like that the dock has an ethernet port now makes for decent download speeds also the battery is pretty good I got a 5-hour session on breath of the wild. I haven't had any major issues with the system so far, I'm enjoying it a lot again if you are new coming in, I strongly recommend the oled model if you already have a switch I say hold out unless you have money to burn.

    I bought this for myself as a Christmas gift and I love the graphics, size and the fact that I can play it handheld or on the tv. The set up is super easy and fast. Amazing handheld gaming device with the versatility to play on a large screen or monitor.

    The larger screen is so beautiful. This was honestly a splurge purchase and technically not necessary at all since I own an OG switch that I use docked only and a Lite that I take with me. A couple of reasons I decided on it was because the larger screen really does make a huge difference as do the deep colors displayed and the battery was a lot better than the Lite. If you do not own a Switch or are leaning towards the Lite I would just make the jump to OLED if you can afford it. Plus the white color and new metal back stand are aesthetically pleasing and premium.

    I was worried that I would tire of this system and the games after a while but I still can't out it down. I play games by myself and use it to game with a large group of people. Also glad I chose the OLED over the other two, the screen quality is very noticable. My only problem is that I can't find a cure case and I did fill the storage up pretty fast with games but wouldn't stop me from buying again. The SD cards are easy to find for more storage.

    The Nintendo Switch OLED is a game-changer, offering a vibrant and crisp OLED screen, top-notch build quality, and enhanced audio. The new kickstand is a plus for tabletop gaming, and the Ethernet port in the dock improves online play. With a vast game library, it's a must-have for gamers, providing a superior gaming experience for all levels of players. Nintendo has hit it out of the park with this console.

    The amazingly talented console- the Oled switch

    One of the best purchases I’ve ever made. If you were thinking about getting the older model, DON’T, because the OLED completely blows it out of the water. For the small price increase, you get way more bang for your buck by far. I really love how there is less of a black border when using it in hand held mode too. To add with the face that the graphics are WAY much smoother than the previous console, the OLED is 100% worth the buy!

    Great Replacement, The Standard for Portable Play.

    Overall, a very good upgrade to my original switch. The battery life is so much longer, however max you can do portable without plugging in is about 4 hours depending on the game. The oled is beautiful, and finally a system that doesn't overheat after long playthroughs in docked mode. Sony and Microsoft may play big, but nintendo just gets how to make a system portable and playable on the road and at home.

    Watch out for ALL the bad reviews from people with hurt feelings. Next thing they’ll say is that’s not fair, well get over yourselves. Everybody knew that the system came out today and if you did not perpare then that is on you. Maybe you should have preordered when they first launched and not have waited to the day of. Nope, that made too much sense. Anywho back to the review. The newer larger screen, with the sound that is slightly louder, included with the new kickstand I couldn’t ask for anytime more for a extra $50 over the second gen. All together a must buy, thanks again Best Buy.

    Love it! Easily purchased and picked up. The OLED screen is a lot nicer than the regular model, very happy that I went ahead and paid the little bit extra for it. Love the white as well. The dock looks very sleek on my entertainment center. Definitely need to get the SD card for extra storage

    Nice Upgrade from Switch Ver. 1

    Very happy I picked the OLED up on day 1. I have owned a Switch since the first year it was released so I was anxious for an upgrade. Sure I wish it was a pro model but the upgrades Nintendo did provide were more than enough for me to purchase it. It has better battery life than gen 1, more memory, the white is slick and looks great with my PS5. Last but certainly not least the screen is bigger and so much more vivid than gen 1. Very happy with my purchase and just the Switch in general. It has become my go to gaming unit in my busy like of work and raising a family.

    Had my eye on this for some time now. I really like that the battery had about 75% charge right out of the box so i was able to set it up as soon as i got home. Didnt have to plug in and wait. Very intuitive and easy to navigate the setup process. Lots more game selection online than i realized. Will eventually expand the memory with a card, but it has more than enough storage to get started. Controller feels good and i like the different options. Performance is smooth.

    This is great to make time go by fast, I’m not usually a Nintendo person but the games are super fun and challenging enough, and they have a good variety of different “Arcady” games. The OLED screen is great, and much more convenient compared to the original switch when playing with another person. I definitely recommend purchasing an SD card to make space but overall the product is great and easy to carry around.

    I might have only purchased this to play the new Pikmin game, but i love it all the same. The graphics are great on the screen. I was able to log 10 hours into my new game with no issues my first day. The battery was able to last quite a bit before i had to charge it. The sound is also great as i could hear over the sound of the road. I am now playing many different games and love to bring it with me to work.

    I upgraded my old switch for the oled because i only play it in handheld mode for me personally it was worth it the it i feel like I'm noticing some lighting effects i missed on the old switch battery life seems to be better depending on what game I'm playing and i got my answer to a better screen overall this version of the console is worth it if you only play handheld

    I mean what is there to know, you already know about the switch. The OLED screen looks crisp and clear. The slightly bigger screen is always helpful, I know it’s just a small adjustment but if you had to pick between the smaller or bigger screen… you’d get the bigger one. Other then that, it’s a switch and plays games. I also like the kick stand better on this one then the regular switch, much more bigger and wider, more secure for the switch to stand up on for those moments you want to battle your buddies on the go.
