I was in a GameStop today with my son to use up a $50 gift card he got over the holidays…but while I was in the store…a father came in with 2 kids under 6 and asked about buying a switch and he chose the OLED and a Mario game…probably these kids first game system ever and if taken care of can be used for the next 10 years.

I found a steal locally for a used Swith Lite with some really good games I got essentially for free and never thought I'd enjoy playing the Switch lite due to the larger bezels and smaller screen but the lighter weight and form factor really surprised me. It feels a lot better than playing a regular Switch to me. Kinda wish there was an OLED Lite with smaller bezels because the Lite really feels like the most perfect handheld console ever, in the hands.

There are so many games for the Switch. I am a senior, I bought a Switch Oled the beginning of 2023, I Used to played my Nintendo DS machines, a lot, for years. My favorite game series is Fire Emblem and two new games had come out I couldn't play - so I broke down and got an Oled. I have been delighted! I have twelve games now, including Breath of the Wild - I am having a great time. I like that there are so many second hand games that I can buy are sale prices.

The answer is yes up should still buy a Switch in 2024, people should not listen to any KZfaqr who says otherwise as there’s a huge library of great games on Switch which in my opinion makes it the best system on the market with a wide variety of games and it has the best exclusives.

Honestly at this point if you're interested in a standard Switch just find a good deal on a used one.

Buying refurbished *from Nintendo* is a fantastic option. Both my Wii U and my Switch are refurbished from them and worked like new. I'm gonna do that with the new one too.

I was waiting for the switch two and decided to get the oled TOTK model around September of last year to premptively prepare for this year, and its been great. I feel like it was a good decision, especially since the oled won't come out till next year. It gives me a chance to play through the games I have not played yet on a nice crisp oled screen.

I only had a Switch Lite for quite some time and in January I decided to get me an OLED just to have a better expirience playing on the big screen. I agree with you, it was a smart choice, specially if the rumors are correct and we have to wait more than a year for Switch successor. I'm having tons of fun with the OLED in ways that the Lite couldn't give me.

Bought the V2 in the beginning of 2022. Then traded it in for Pokémon OLED edition when it dropped, and it’s been an absolutely amazing experience! I’ve got a massive backlog of games to play that I’m very excited about. Could care less WHEN the next gen will be announced.

I agree to buy the Switch OLED in 2024! Thank God Switch 2 is not out yet. I need to catch up on completing my games before the new release! Switch OLED in my opinion is the GOAT. Why? I grew up with game & watch and I experienced every game boy from the original to the game boy pocket, GBA, the SP, the DS, all the way to the Switch OLED. So I really appreciate the amazing screen, technology and games that are played today. Anyone that complains about under powered and all that crap don’t appreciate at all what they have in their hands. Spoiled brats! Nintendo could have stopped making portables with the 3DSXL and I would be content for life! Just grab a color Gameboy from eBay and play that for a month. Believe me you will appreciate the Switch like never before!

7:02 I have the same Switch OLED model you have. I love that design, and even bought a matching case.

Thanks!

When do you think they’ll announce pre order dates?

Great video! I'm one of those people who has tons of old games and one of the few who bought a Wii U late in the life cycle... I think I avoided the Switch at first due to my late adoption and due to the fact that I wrongly felt the power upgrade wasn't enough. I was wrong. Nintendo's graphic artists (and Namco's -- they work together) are so freaking good that the Nintendo art style is worth many graphics cards. Anyway.... at this point I actually am going to wait, even though I agree with your points about playing new Nintendo games. If I wanted to play the new games Right. Now. and wasn't planning on day 1 adoption of Switch 2, then yeah... I'd get an OLED. But right now I have so many old games to play, that I'm fine. And when I do finally get a Switch 2, I will get to play all the old Switch 1 games I missed (unless it's not backwards compatible... then I'll get a Switch 1 at that point). I actually might stock up on Switch 1 games when the sales you mention happen... and wait to play them until I have a system! Thanks for catering to the small group of us who don't have a Switch yet, with this video!

Got my Oled in January not really regretting it, mostly because of the colour speaking of colour who has two soft purple/ lilac joy con (thumbnail picture) on their switch? pastel sure but same colour??? I need answers!

The Switch OLED you showed in the beginning is what edition? The orange and purple one. I love the colors! Thanks!

I had a lite loved it even if I couldn’t put it on the tv but now I have a Switch Oled

I got mine last October and have stocked up on mainline games on sale - no regrets. I wanted the games, so I got the switch. When the switch 2 comes I’ll probably buy it, but I’ll still finish my games ^^

I just got a OLED for $254 And a modded regular switch for ~$180 I may or may not have used divination and applied metaphysics. I love love 🙏🏼🥰

I got a PC now so I think I'm good for consoles. Also quit disrespecting the red box switch. It's good if you play on the TV more than in handheld mode. Also many of us consumers will wait about 6 months to a year to purchase a new console. Many companies will have bundles and better deals after the first year. If you do another video like this please remember this comment. Viewers like to know the pros and cons for all versions of a console.

My hubby gave me a switch lite for my 50th and I absolutely love it! Hours of ACNH already played on it! I don’t care the new one is coming out soon - already gathering my library of games.

I'd say if you can wait at least until later in the year and there may be a price drop by then. Or buy a cheap secondhand Switch.

I just bought my backup Switch Lite….no complaints👍🏻☕️☕️

Let me tell ya, my yellow Switch Lite with a red grip case, beating endless new courses on Mario Maker 2 anywhere I go, even when I tether it to my phone on non wifi commutes is the absolute best!!! Now sitting at a chill bar, with their wifi, a cold pint in front of me, with food on the way while beating new courses is on another level… get out n get buzzed people, life isn’t about staring at a tv alone at home.

Yes, love my oled switch😍🔥

I talked a family member into buying a Switch last month, and they are absolutely loving it.

Id say it depends on a persons bank balance and whether or not they can afford an oled switch right now or if it worth waiting a little bit longer for the next new console possibly happening in 2025. Paying £300 now or possibly £350-£400 for a years time with a brand new console giving you more chance to save. If they buy now they may not be able to afford a brand new console next year which will be more powerful and run better with all the games. Its not that i wouldnt recommend one mind you as i love my oled but id say if the new one is not far off id wait especially if you cant afford the console by purchasing the oled. Its swings and roundabouts and litterly depends on the individual of course. But if you can afford it go for it but shop around and look at second hand too because once the new console is out you dont want to feel regret.

As for Paper Mario: TTYD remake I hope it comes to stores/shop sooner to now than later so we can watch GameXplain live-stream the full game asap like Derrick Bitnerd did for the Gamecube version did before he left GX 'his streamed playlists of all Paper Mario games is on his YT channel Bitnerd Games'.

Im in the opposite boat. The earliest models og switch is the only ones thats hackable without needing to open up the system to add a mod chip. If you want homebrew on your switch buy an early release og switch

I bought mine 2 months ago with klarna and I jus paid it off and don’t regret it one bit💯 Nintendo switch has been amazing

Ngl thinking of upgrading to OLED from my original switch. Don’t think I will get switch 2 on day 1 as I would rather get an oled version of the switch 2 which might be 2 years from original release unless they make an oled version on day 1

As someone who has had their Switch since release day, I’d rather wait but I also plan on buying it on release day so that it’s a factor

I just brought a Switch OLED. And just building up my switch games collection.

Wether yes or no it is up to the buyer. They can get opinions from people but in the end its up to them to buy or not buy

I was thinking of buying a switch lite but I think I am gonna wait for rog ally 2024 edition .

I got into the switch actually 5 years ago 😂 2019 I bought my very first switch lite. 😂 my birthday is on March 25th

as someone that really can't be dropping 329 on an oled but wants to play on the tv, the lcd switch is definitely still a good value coming in at 269 new. plays all my same games and it'll spend its life mostly on the tv. idk where anyone comes out the rip saying the lcd switch is just ancient dino dust and not worth even a penny. and the whole trade in argument doesn't work in this case either as i'm not gonna afford a switch 2 for some time, and i'll still have my massive switch catalog to play out until then.

I won't buy the New Console if there's no New Animal Crossing game. I bought the lite 2020 for AC. But i want to buy a Normal Switch cus my lite is acting up after 4 years, drfting, some buttons are laggy and overused, makes weird noises.. so I have to buy a Back up.

i want to upgrade my switch lite to an oled model but i can't afford it now

I have a Nintendo Switch and my brother has one for himself 'not sure if he's played anything in a long time' and I only play MK8D as for current game and I only play it for GameXplain Mondays tourney and a little bit on Sundays offline to make sure I remember how to play the game I play a few classic games on NSO I like it has NES/SNES/Gameboy systems/N64 games and I hope the next Nintendo system will have those games too when the next Nintendo system comes and a number of games I'd play gets here I might not play the current Nintendo system anymore with so much plugged in we ain't played most games we have in a very long time because its harder to do that so I'm glad at least some of tjose is on Switch and lots of us likes Darby of Blue Television Games Sundays/Tuesdays streams of games.

Got mine a week ago and its amazing.better than what i was waiting for....awesome games.i got metroid dredd and super mario wonder....

The answer is so simple : if there are games you want to play now from Nintendo switch … buy a switch (new or not) but if you dont want to play right now … then wait . But saying « don’t because if you buy it , Nintendo will wait to put the new one on the market » is just the answer of people having a switch and wanting the next Nintendo console. Don’t listen to what others want, listen to what you want.

Joycons are a great idea- ON PAPER - but I feel they have been poorly executed so the lite is great. The oled is good for the screen and use with a pro controller. If buying used the base switch is the most abused in condition so I would avoid. I just can not do the joycons. Yeah I had a grip but that’s obvious. Just kinda annoying that to use the system comfortably you require a purchase. But just for the sheer amount of game options it’s a great proposition however some games struggle so do your research.

just my two cents but if you've waited this long to get a switch id likely get the lite, it plays super well I love mine for on the go and it is cheap to save up for the next gen system, cant go wrong unless you really just want to dock/play on a bigger screen

I’d go for the ps5 pro. And then wait to buy switch 2 when it comes with an OLED

i got my switch lite beginning of 2024 and regret nothing

I say no because if they announce the switch 2 this 2024 and it would go on sale 2025

I have to , my grandson really needs a new one. The battery doesn't last long. Even if it's plugged in to AC , the battery goes dead. I have no guarantee a new switch is coming out in 2025. .

I'd say the switch has a bunch of good games but it's not worth waiting for, any good games are on other platforms and better quality and any exclusives are still pretty up there in price

If games go on sale then I'll be diving full force into the Switch before the new one.

I really wish they’d made something similar to the ps vita tv. I can’t imagine they can’t sell this hardware for $100 if they deleted the screen. I have no desire to play a handheld and would play this thing on a monitor always. Number one reason I never got a switch. I figured they’d have done this by now

After finding out we are waiting another year I got the totk oled switch in Japan for a good price under $250

If you never had a switch, it's a no brainer. There are 35 games with a metacritic score of 90 or higher. And many of them are best to play on switch because they are Indies or exclusive Nintendo games.

People who want a Switch should just buy one, and enjoy the games that are available. There's no point in waiting until Nintendo reveals the details about the Successor including the price and release date.

Im thinking of buying one to play pokemon so this helpfull

The boy who cried wolf has released another video.

hi SwitchForce

All these haters… I love my switch oled wifh my custom matcha green Joycons

3:50 The regular basic Switch is the only console you should buy if you aren't generally interested in gaming in handheld mode. There is no reason to spend more on a better screen, and you can't even play the Switch Lite on a TV.

Video begins at 2:42

I was watching these kind of videos when I got my switch in 2021 lol and it never came, I think now is the time that people should hold back on switches if they want the latest and greatest stuff

What happened to Switch Pro you said was coming out ?

Nothing else for to create a video about ?

Dont get a 15 fps console in 2024, also im one of those that will wait 6 month after the next releases to see a good amount of performance as this one was horrid always

U guys r right it been 7years for the switch n the year of march of 2024 because the switch was released n the year of 2017 and we don't count the year of 2017 the first year of the switch was 2018for the anniversary for the first year release so it been at7years the switch and the switch2will last tell the year of2034or maybe longer tell the year of2035for the last year of the switch and switch2tell the next handheld console n release tell the year of2034and I hope the switch2will cost like around $400to$450instead of$500and the switch2storage I want is256gb of storage so the switch2can play more triple AAA games like GTA5OR GTA6and I hope the switch2 will last10more years and I hope the battery life will last tell5to8hours on the switch2of battery life and I hope the switch2 will last for 10years tell the year of 2034and I want is a Dragon ball daima Dlc for Dragon ball XENOVERSE2or Dragon ball XENOVERSE3for the switch and a switch2 n2024or2025 release for Dragon ball Daima dlc for Dragon ball XENOVERSE2or Dragon ball XENOVERSE3for the switch and switch2

Where is twilight princess

You should buy a regular switch if you don't intend to play without the TV and want to save some money.

At this point it'll be the safest to just wait for Switch 2, altho it looks like it's not coming anytime soon at this rate from the rumors and all saying how it's been delayed to March 2025 at the earliest

I'm definitely gonna wait.. I have to.. why waste 330€..

Until the next generation of Switch comes out with a OLED screen and if the Nintendo Switch games looks better on Switch 2 that will be the day i will throw away my Nintendo Switch Oled. But cause we dont know much about how it plays and looks on Switch games and no oled yet i will keep my Switch OLED. And also it takes time for Switch 2 games to be made, at the start Switch 2 will be very limited games.

Yes it's so close to becoming Nintendos best selling console just needs 15 million more

It’s worth the buy if Nintendo isn’t going to completely switch up the cartridges and make the next generation consoles games exclusive to just that. If so, I wouldn’t get a switch this late into its life.

GET TO THE POINT! And are you getting paid at-all by Nintendo?

I just bought one , and i love it, but the games are much more expensive than ps5 and xbox.

I won't listen any KZfaqr on whether I buy a system or not.

The boy who cried wolf returns

No the switch has average graphics. Tons of systems have better graphics now and old systems. The switch has 2 many weird kiddy games and games with kiddy graphics. Alot of games don't come to the switch probably because of Nintendo's rules that many game companies don't like so they go to Playstation and Xbox and other systems. Many game companies that r starting out and independent game companies develop 4 the switch. The switch has alot of ports that r on the better ps5 and Xbox series X and S. Everyone's smartphones has better graphics than the switch.

There's NO WAY Switch 2 games will be cross-gen, not with anti-consumer Nintendo leading the charge. Switch 2 will be backwards compatible, but you won't be able to play Switch 2 games on the OG Switch or OLED Switch otherwise no-one would upgrade. Lastly, buy the OLED Switch and enjoy what you can now. With the way things are going this country may not last until 2025 with our Government doing everything they can to destroy the Middle class and devalue our dollar. Enjoy what you can while you can because we're closer to the end than you think

Never mentioned the v2 your not telling the who truth here

If you have the money why not

Hey I just found hotspot phone

Video 444 ✅

But 8 years is a consoles life. People buy Sony products even after "the NEXT thing". So yes, you missing out of you still haven't picked this thing up yet. Now BACK TO MY RED 🍒 OLED.

If switch 2 will be backwards compatible then it’s not worth to buy a Switch right now.

Switch 2 like a handheld gaming pc

My biggest regret of all time is selling my switch lite. Saving up for an oled

Can’t play helldivers on switch I’ll pass

Only the lite is worth buying in 2024.. don't buy an OLED because the switch 2 will be about the same price.

You are so cute 🥰

Get PalWorld instead. Forget the Switch. 😂😂😂

Why would anyone buy this piece of junk in 2024. The switch was outdated in 2017 when it came out and now its an embarrassment to the game industry. All the games suffer from poor frame rates which make the games choppy. Nintendo have become a joke.

They haven’t even thrown a sale on the first gen switch or oled 🥲
