Time to talk numbers: The OLED is priced at $349.99, while the standard Switch model retails for $299.99.

The OG Switch came with 32GB of internal storage, but the OLED is a mega-upgrade in this arena with 64GB of internal storage. This may not matter to you that much if you purchase a Micro SD card for extra storage (I highly recommend this), but if you’re not planning on downloading a ton of titles or are a pretty low-key gamer, it may not be necessary. Then there’s also the internal storage upgrade. (There’s no difference in the display when the OLED model is docked to your TV, however.)

The contrast is noticeably crisper, colors are more vibrant (especially darker landscapes), and things like text are much more defined. The best way I can describe the difference between the two screens is like the difference between a 2010 iPhone and one with a Retina display. Below, I compare it to the previous Switch and Switch Lite consoles and determine whether it’s worth the investment. When Nintendo offered me the chance to test out the new OLED model, I was immediately game. I’ve always loved the storytelling aspect of video games, and how the best ones can really immerse you in the universe in a way that movies and TV can’t. I don’t consider myself an intense gamer, but I still geek out over crowd-pleaser titles like Super Smash Brothers, Overcooked, the LEGO franchise, Animal Crossing, and Borderlands.

As such, when rumors started swirling about a new-and-improved Switch with a better, larger OLED display (which stands for Organic Light-Emitting Diode the original Switch has an LCD screen), and improved kickstand (a common gripe with the original model - it’s tiny and a bit wobbly TBH), I was beyond stoked. And spoiler alert: It was! Years after buying mine (and tricking it out with Glossier stickers), I’m still obsessed with it. Having been a longtime fan of Nintendo consoles, this one looked like nothing I’d tried before. When Nintendo first announced the launch of the Switch way back in March 2017(!), I was immediately excited to try it out.
