Is it Worth Buying a Nintendo Switch OLED in 2024?

The Nintendo Switch OLED has been out for a couple of years, but I just recently bought it to play some more Pokemon, get into Zelda Tears of the Kingdom and also some new Mario games that are coming out later this year. Here are my thoughts after comparing it to the regular Nintendo Switch and whether you should wait for the Switch Pro.

This was exactly what I needed to hear because I’m thinking about getting a oled on but was not sure before. The timing is perfect😊

I stop playing my PS5 over a switch lite. A switch lite!!!! It was so fun I bought an OLED and I haven't stop playing since February 10, 2023! So do what makes fun!

Totally worth it ! Big screen, beautiful colors! The resolution 720p only but acceptable. I jb my OLED love it so far!

[wills]

I can't wait! I am picking up a used one tomorrow!

I've been rockin my launch switch and primarily played it docked. Ended up getting the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet edition OLED and now I primarily play in handheld mode. Colors just pop out more making it so much more enjoyable to play in handheld mode. Love my OLED and can't wait for the next gen!

I love the new basic color, the white doesn't flow as well with the black as the gray did, but it's nice to see that variation the white and black does!

Secret sauce from Nintendo & Nvidia into the Switch that made it so special & hard to refuse it. I'm myself bought the Switch Lite early this year & planning to buy a Switch OLED this holiday ❤

My son and I picked one of these up last weekend. We’re having a blast!!!

[DESHAWN]

Just started using my switch again. Still blows my mind how I can easily go from handheld mode to dock mode. Can’t wait for the new super bros wonder!!

[WillSaabye-eyvy]

I just upgraded to the oled and I absolutely love it! Even with the switch 2 rumors bumping around I am fine with my oled! I have more games than I would ever need on this amazing system!

Last had a Nintendo system back when GameCube was the latest console and I absolutely loved that thing (I was like 8-9 years old)…..I’m 30 years old now and it’s been nothing but PlayStation and Xbox afterwards. I’m glad after all these years to finally get my hands on a Nintendo system. Gunna enjoy those classics for sure!

I'm really torn, because I already have a switch lite and I really want the experience of playing docked and having the oled screen. I would also be able to put my switch to more use with being able to have joy-cons and such for more playability options. But just knowing that a new and improved switch could come out is nerve-wracking. It wouldn't be that I wasted my money, but knowing that if I had waited a little longer I could've gotten something a lot better.

i'm getting my switch oled in 2 weeks and watching all these review/unboxing vids made me even more excited

[thomasmuller]

I've been wanting to upgrade from my Switch Lite to a Switch Oled for a while. Just because of the bigger screen & how freaking awesome the colors look. But I wasn't too sure if it'd have been a good idea with the potential new Switch coming. But now, I'm definitely gonna try to pick one up at some point.

Great and very well done vid Sir earned a like and subscribe. Question though there are these somehow believable rumors about the next Nintendo console/handheld and I've been going back and forth at our local gameshop thinking if I will buy the Zelda edition Oled. In your opinion is it worth buying despite rumors of a "Switch 2"?

[iZilly]

I have two regular Switches "had one from my friend for free" i love them and have just ordered the Oled Splatoon 3 edition which looks amazing. I love the Nintendo Universe and this is the reason i stay with Switch. I have a gaming pc at home + several other smaller handhelds "PSP, PS VITA, New 3DS XL and a Miyoo Mini + but the Switch is my go to... I can´t wait for my Oled to arrive and will purchase Mario Wonder when it arrives :) i am excited for the Switch 2 but not sure if i am a fan of the rumors of a dual screen Switch... we will see what they come up with.

[josephripalda]

I have the lite version, bought it back in Feb, truly a remarkable hand-held gaming console! But I find myself kind of curious and interested in getting the OLED but a part of me is also wanting to get a PS5, I'm torn 😂

[jaydenphilbertmunipals]

Crazy how its almost the oled's 2nd year anniversary, i still have my launch oled

[Jaxondives]

Great video man, I just bought the tears of the kingdom oled and have enjoyed every minute of it. Even though there’s switch 2 rumors in stuff I still think it’s worth it to get a switch even if switch 2 comes out tomorrow! Same games, same experience, no reason not too!

Hi thanks for this video. I love my OLED and trying to get more use out of it. Any game recommendations? Last game I completed was Breath of the wild on New Year’s Eve
