Nintendo Switch OLED Hands On Impressions

We got our first hands-on with the new Nintendo Switch OLED, and while it's not the next big thing, it left us impressed with how much it improved the console.

Following the sudden announcement of the Nintendo Switch OLED, there have been many questions from fans about what to make of the new addition to the Switch family. Joining the original Switch and Switch Lite, the new model features a new 7-inch OLED display, enhanced audio, extra internal storage, a new dock with a built-in LAN port. Set for release on October 8, the new OLED model presents a new way for players to engage with the Nintendo Switch.

GameSpot was able to get some limited hands-on time with the upgraded Switch, and we came away with some answers about what to expect with the new console. Along with that, we got to see how bright that new screen is and learned whether or not that $350 price tag is justified for a new version of Nintendo's hybrid console. In this video, you can hear our thoughts on what it was like getting to experience the new OLED screen and how different of an experience it is to play older games like The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and more on a brighter and smaller screen.

"Hey guys, here's my hands-on impressions of the PS6. It's awesome, trust me. It can do things like the PS5, but better. Can't show you any footage, but it's really cool, trust me!"

It’s pretty sad how people try and test our intelligence these days

[kevinm.]

Now if only we could actually see a hands on.

"hands on" he said...went on to basically rehash the entire Nintendo press release...might as well tell us this is an ad...

[q_zilla]

It’s not just because of “rumors” I just can’t wrap my head around how they come out with a switch refresh 4 years later and it has absolutely no improvements to performance. Rumors or not it feels like a slap in the face.

damn, gamespot shouldnt a clickbait channel

That oled will looks stunning sitting in the dock 90 percent of the time

[Millzieeeee]

legit calls it a hands on, shows prerecorded gameplay in very low quality and then proceeds to just show video clips of the console clipped from the advert, yet never has the console in their actual hands

[SHINEZ]

Thanks for telling us what was already in the trailer👍👍

[zarulorca]

I dont see the Switch OLED in your hands! Gamespot is such a 🤡

[rachmadsuhartono]

Thought i was dreaming but they just released another "hands on" video

[s]

Being first time owner it’ll be perfect model

[rekyrro]

I wish there was actual footage of HANDS ON like the title said

[GTSCoupe]

Nintendo is the Apple of Gaming. Late with features and milk existing products into the ground at ridiculous prices

[tm]

A hands-on without seeing any hands-on the product 😂

[EmpireZzzz]

Sony needs to make a new handheld and show Nintendo how real hardware is supposed to be like

[imthatguy]

I have never seen a company make their consumers squeez water from a rock harder than nintendo. This switch is 5 years too late. Not even a hardware update. Shame.

"OLED SWITCH IMPRESSIONS" - a 5mins video telling us a new switch got almost all specs of the old switch but with bigger screen...

[jfncho]

only interested in getting one as a replacement if my current Switch ever craps out.

I keep seeing ppl say “why are you guys disappointed, this is Nintendo! Look at their past they’ve never been big on visuals” bro I get that but we in 2021 giving us a lan port and a bigger screen isn’t gonna cut it let’s be honest. I love Nintendo and my switch but come on !!!
