Nintendo Switch – OLED Model w/Neon Red & Neon Blue Joy-Con

I really liked it... its perfect to play anywhere, battery last a lot, it has great graphics and games that I never expected I could play in a portable console

First, to be clear, I play exclusively in handheld mode. (No proper technophile allows a video game system to be connected to their 4k tv if it does not output 4k. LOL!) I am also a console (Xbox) gamer and have been playing video games since the mid 1980s. With that being said, this device is shockingly awesome. Why? You can basically play games with the graphically fidelity of almost (but not quite) the Xbox One/PS 4 in your hands. This blows me away. The fact that I can play NBA 2k, FIFA, Need for Speed, Grid, Mortal Kombat, Puzzle Quest and so many other games on the go is truly a joy to behold. As a result, much to my surprise, this has been the console I have ended up playing the most. It's easy to see why - I can take it with me wherever I go. I travel for work and personal reasons. This is with me and I can continue playing my games on it. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy my Xbox experience and still play PC games as well. They are awesome. However, I notice I play this more because it can be on an airplane with me, in the bed, during lunch at work, when I travel, etc. Then, sometimes when I get home, I may want to continue my gaming. So it is racking up more hours than my Xbox and PC (which I certainly still enjoy). Then, the OLED screen is gorgeous. I had an original Switch. I absolutely love this screen, the brightness, sharpness and clarity. Some games look totally different. If you already have an original Switch, if you can, sell it (or give it away) and get this one. I absolutely love it. I even bought a 512GB micro SD card. I am in a form of gaming Nirvana. You will really enjoy this model. Finally, I do think that Nintendo is in a truly awesome position with the Switch. I am not sure if Nintendo even realizes how close they are to dominating the video game market for decades. Why? Think about it. As of January 2022 the Switch is the leading console with over 100 million units sold. It really, at this point, needs one thing to finish off the competition for decades. What is it they need? Just a little more power. If Nintendo creates a device that has the graphical and processing power of an Xbox One/PS4, can do 1080p in handheld mode, with a 7 inch OLED screen, (and 4k when docked) Nintendo will rule gaming for at least a decade. Why? 1080p on OLED, at the handheld distance from the eye, appears almost as detailed as 4k at a tv watching distance. With the processing power of the Xbox One/PS4, developers can bring tons of more of their best games (triple A titles) to the Switch. So, a Switch that powerful, with a large number of triple A games on it and with a screen that good in handheld mode, the Switch's market share would crush the competition. At any rate, I digress. If you are considering this device. Get it! Period. The build is so awesome on this variant. You will love it. I have to go now. I have to play my OLED Switch - LOL! Also, the delivery from this seller was also good. It came ahead of time.

Great little gaming system. Very portable. Seems to have good battery when playing in hand held mode. Easy to connect when playing on the TV. The only bad thing about it is the controllers go out fairly fast, drifting all over the place.

The best videogame console to play on the move. Great graphics with a lot of games options online and/or physical.

This is my first gaming console after a long time, before I played on old PS and Nintendo 2DS, but this OLED switch is day and night difference. I gifted this to my 9 years old daughter and a 5 years old son. They're having party at home now!! Choosing a gaming console appropriate to audiences I got (my kids of course), was no brainer 1/Since this console can be played handheld so travel friendly with kids 2/Can be easily switched to TV for big screen experience 3/Multiplayer games are fun because you have two joycons 4/Light weight on the hands 5/Joycons are most suitable for your kids, however, both Joycons can be clubbed to use as full controller on Joycon Grip 6/Docking is breeze 7/Longer play time on switch screen 8/Kids can use switch as Table Top mode (use the inbuilt screen and put it on table and play when on travel, fun to have both kids sit side by side in a car 9/The Dock is light weight and HDMI, LAN and power adapter can be connected 10/You can charge with USB-C while on travel.. Now few things can be improved 1/Joycons can be confusing sometimes, the buttons on both Joycons play imp role so kids are confused which to press when on mutilplayer mode, so it can be simplify 2/Docking is so light weight that it is being dragged sometimes if you connect with TV on HDMi cable, so need extra few grams weight to stay put properly 3/Games are insanely pricy, I mean almost all Mario games are about 60 bucks a game!!! So buy the switch, and then buy those costly games!! No discount I saw so far on Mario games 4/I need to check the switch specs, but I am sure there is no 4K support even I connected to my Sony Bravia x90K 85" 4K/120 Hz HDMi 2.1 input, used HDMi 4 input which is 4K/120 Hz compatible. 5/Sound on switch is alright, well, good that your kids won't annoy you while they play on switch and not on TV 6/Internal memory is adequate, only 64GB, initially okay but can't put more games if you gonna install more than 15 (3 gb per game), should be alright if kids want to experiment free games and just recycle them. Nothing major negative though, all good so far! Hopefully you will enjoy your brand new console! So far I love it since my 5 years Son can easily handle without much adult supervision!!! Go for it and yes, it brand new item!!!

Very happy. Highly recommended seller. Fast shipping.

As a kid I owned a Nintendo, an original Gameboy, and a Super Nintendo. I've been aware of the Nintendo consoles since then, but haven't put any time or money into the platform since my Super Nintendo days. Instead Sony has been getting my time and money. Using the PS5 as my benchmark, initially I was very disappointed in the Switch. However, after purchasing the top Nintendo exclusive games and putting considerable time into it, I've come around and I'm definitely happy I purchased the Switch OLED. What I failed to understand when I purchased the Switch is that Nintendo is not competing directly against Sony and Microsoft. Nintendo has essentially become the "Disney" of gaming. In that I mean that Nintendo has their characters and storylines that we've all grown up with. Now we want our kids to share in that experience, which doesn't really require an 8k capable GPU. Instead, being a clever company, Nintendo has targeted kids with a comparatively less expensive console, sporting handheld capability, tons of swag, and easy to configure parental controls. For adults that want to play after the kids have gone to sleep, the platform supports some more mature titles, and a regular controller experience. I really like the classic games like Zelda, Mario, & Metroid. The gameplay is improved and the stories are familiar. Nintendo's Pro Controller is fantastic (it's also a must for adults). I like being able to take the console on trips, and dock it at my TV at home. I also really appreciate the use of micro SD storage. Downloaded games seem to average around 5.5 GB in size, so adding a 256 GB micro SD to your built in 64 GB of storage should allow plenty of space for most people. I like the game sales in the eShop, as that's the time to buy. And while I don't recommend it, the ability to purchase cartridges is a bit nostalgic for me. I really dislike the terrible, dated hardware choices that Nintendo made. The OLED screen may be an improvement over the original Switch, but it's still not great at only 720p resolution. The wired network adapter in the dock is slightly faster than the wireless adapter in the console, but both are terribly slow and it takes a long time to download games. The Nintendo network speeds are also laughably slow, and I wonder if they are trying to preserve the nostalgia of the load screen. Keep in mind that unless you want to get up to change your game, or potentially have your kid lose a game, you'll want to download your games from the eShop. So you're really forced to deal with the slow network experience everytime you want something new. It's still worth the suffering up front for the long-term convenience of having it downloaded. Another confusing hardware choice is the Joy-Con controller. These things are overpriced trash. I can see where Nintendo was going, but they have some major shortcomings. To charge the Joy-Con's they need to be connected to the console, or you have to purchase the charging grip (~$35). Nintendo included a grip, but not one with charging capabilities, which means you'll have to switch to handheld mode to keep playing, or stop playing while they charge. Instead of buying a charging grip, I recommend the Pro Controller, which has a USB-C port on the front for charging while playing. It's better than the Joy-Con in every way, and cheaper. Which brings me to my biggest complaint, the price. Just like Disney, Nintendo is fully aware of the grip they have on your kids, and thus they charge accordingly. There is no part of this console that makes it worth the price. You either want to play (or your kids to play) Zelda, Mario, Metroid, etc. or you don't. If you do, then you will pay. Need an extra power adapter so you don't have to disconnect it from the dock everytime...overpriced. Need replacement Joy-Con's because the included ones started to drift...overpriced. Any game at regular price...overpriced. Why would I pay Nintendo more for a game that's going to look and play better on my PS5 for less money? I think you get my point. The Switch is not for everyone. If you have kids, or you love the Nintendo original titles, there's likely a Switch in your future. If you're buying it for you (an adult), get the Pro Controller and don't look back. If you have another "serious" console, don't buy any non-exclusive titles for the Switch. They're usually cheaper and better on literally any other console.
