Nintendo Switch OLED review | TechRadar


The instant I held the Nintendo Switch OLED in my hands, I knew that if I planned to continue playing Switch games in handheld or tabletop mode, I needed to upgrade to the new version. No, it’s not the fabled Nintendo Switch 4K, but this October 8-bound upgrade is the one that matters if you game on the go, away from the TV-tied docking station.

There was no better demonstration of this than my time going hands-on with the new Nintendo console, blasting my way through early levels of the launch game Metroid Dread. The game, also due out October 8, is compatible with the old Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite, which is good news since sold-out Nintendo Switch OLED pre-orders will make the new console hard to come by at first.

I found the larger 7-inch Switch OLED screen more immersive than I had anticipated before my hands-on time and, after four and a half years of using the bezel-heavy 6.2-inch original Switch with its dated LCD screen, I can’t see myself going back. That’d be like asking me to give up my iPhone 13 Pro Max to return to an iPhone 5 with its thicker borders. No thanks.
