Customer Ratings & Reviews

The Nintendo Switch OLED is an absolute game-changer for handheld gaming. The upgraded OLED display is stunning, with vibrant colors and deep contrast that make games look better than ever—it’s a massive improvement over the original model. The larger screen and enhanced build quality make the overall experience feel more premium, whether you’re gaming at home or on the go. That said, while the display shines, the hardware is starting to show its age. Some games struggle to keep up with modern graphical expectations, and load times can feel a bit slow compared to newer consoles. Still, the Switch OLED remains an incredible system for its portability, exclusive games, and versatile play styles. It’s perfect for fans of Nintendo’s library, but those looking for cutting-edge performance may notice the hardware limitations.

My son loves this one much more than the original he had. The graphics are much better and the larger screen is awesome. The battery life is much better as well

Great Screen. Battery life is improved as well. The games do pop a lot more and look vibrant

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

I was happy to upgrade from a great 1st gen switch to an even better amazing oled switch. Crisp graphics,way better battery,and significantly better kickstand.

The Nintendo Switch is a masterpiece of gaming innovation! Its hybrid design lets me seamlessly switch between playing on my TV and gaming on the go, making it perfect for my lifestyle.

The Joy-Con controllers are versatile, allowing for multiplayer fun straight out of the box. Battery life is impressive, and the console’s build quality feels premium. Whether you’re a casual gamer or a dedicated enthusiast, the Nintendo Switch delivers endless hours of entertainment. If you’re looking for a console that combines portability, fun, and variety, this is it. Best purchase ever—worth every penny!

This is the perfect console for handheld gamers. The bigger screen has no borders and looks stunning. The wide kickstand makes it easy to set up on a table anywhere. It also has double the storage space of the original model.

This is a cute system for a person who had the OG Nintendo and wanted to get back into it. I bought this for Mario Bros. I have hooked it to my television and it looks great. I have actually played it as a handheld more.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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 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.

That kickstand alone makes this worthwhile(for me personally) the old kickstand was flimsy, popped off and got lost half the time. With out it, tabletop mode is nonexistent. It also has the brighter more vivid oled screen and extra internal storage. Those are basically the differences between the older model and this one. It’s worth it if you can afford the upgrade or if this is your first switch. Not really necessary if you already have one and can’t afford to shell out additional funds for a new one. Overall, Nice little upgrade from the older model.
