they should definitely release a switch lite oled it would be awesome

I recently bought an oled. Didn’t have a switch or any other gaming console/pc before it. I’m very happy with it. Figured it wasn’t that much more money, given that most games already cost over €50, and the better screen is worth it. It’s slightly heavy but feels comfortable enough to me. The kickstand also allows you to rest it on your lap, table or any other surface while you play. Update 6 months later: still very happy with my switch. It's a really nice device. Haven't had any issues so far

"Since the release of the OLED model, the OG hasn't had a price drop" *shocked Pikachu face*

Switch lite is already really good for portability but a big downside for me really has to be the readability issues that come with a smaller screen. If developers could put a little more attention to accessability i think the lite would be a perfect pick

If you are a portable player, the lite is the best. It just fits better in your hands and if far more comfortable for long sessions and easier to travel with. If you are anywhere in between the OLED has an amazing screen and it’s dock a built in LAN port. The screen does make a huge difference. If you play mostly on TV and already own the OG switch the original switch is fine. It’s not really worth the upgrade.

I’m so tempted to buy the lite version because of its portability but the bigger screen size + better battery life + better colors with the oled one sold it for me it’s a clear choice.

The Switch Lite is my favorite.

I'm strictly a handheld player, so I got the lite for the reasons you stated, price and portability.

I am a collector, and own all of the Switch consoles mentioned in this video, in addition to the Animal Crossing special edition. That said, I enjoy the Switch Lite the most - its rigid design and handheld portability feels very nostalgic to my childhood of playing Nintendo handhelds. I love seeing it on my collectors shelf next to my older Nintendo handhelds, seeing how far Nintendo has come over the decades. The lite really hits my sweet spot due to it's size. I really wished Nintendo would make a translucent Switch lite from the factory, so I wouldn't feel compelled to re-shell it myself.

I've had the Switch Lite and have gotten a lot of use out of it and enjoyed it...but I always (in the back of my mind) wished I'd gone with the regular switch. I don't play games on my tv...but I've always liked the idea of the Joy Cons. I just made the upgrade a couple of days ago and am really happy about it. The battery on the OLED compared to the lite is awesome as is the screen of course. Another really pleasant thing I wasn't expecting...is vibrations! haha I didn't realize how much I missed it in the Lite until I experienced it with the OLED!

For all the people that play handheld omitting frequent travelers, I assume you're into PCs; if so the OLED is perfect cause you can play on a monitor or handheld on top of a cleaner aesthetic and bigger screen

As a person who travels lots and who will probably never use tv mode, I'm looking to buy the lite. It's portable and light, and I'm looking more for a time killer than a proper gaming experience for long trips.

this helped so much. I am a person of logic and the flowchart helped me so much... now to try to get my hands on that OLED

I like how throughly and detailed you are with your comparison, especially the flow chart! Best comparison video ever!

I want to get the new Dialga & Palkia switch lite and this helped me know what I’m going to get myself into :) great video keep them up !

Wow! Great flow chart. Thanks for taking the time to create it!

I've been thinking seriously about buying a switch and this video helped me alot. Thank you!

Thanks for making this video, it really helped me decide that I am most likely best off with the Lite, since I don't play online too much and I mostly play handheld. That extra money that I save, I can spend on games.

i've watched a lot of reviews but this video gave me the clear answers with specs and REAL battery time haha thank you for making it easier to choose!

I would have gotten an OLED if I hadn't have bought an OG switch last year, which works just fine for me. 🥰

I already have the PS4 when I want to play a game on larger TV. So when I purchased the Lite, I was so satisfied with it. Because what I usually do is I play my PS4 when I wanted to immerse myself on the story and a graphic-intensive game and has a heavy combat system like Uncharted, Ghost of Tsushima while I play my Switch Lite when I just want a chill game and just wanted to lay down and explore without worrying about anything so my usual games will be Animal Crossing, Zelda BOTW (or any other Zeldas) and Pokemon.

I wish big box stores would still have demos set up of the different consoles like they used to for the original Xbox and gamecube so we could really get a good look and feel for each before purchasing.

i love the hand held jazz-hand gesture 😂

Can we appreciate how detailed and concise this video is! Thanks man

Wow I would've thought this channel had millions of subscribers due to the quality and effort put into this video. that's definitely worth my subscription bro!!!!

was going to originally go with the lite, but after looking into it more i went with the V2. the extended battery life and the docked mode makes it more than better than the lite for portability and full screen gaming.

Thanks so much this really helped me I’m might get an oled soon

I just love how he added even more detail to what we would want to do with the switch.

ive had both the switch and the switch lite, i prefer the lite because it feels way better in portable mode compared to the switch. i also prefer how the lite looks and because my most used consoles are probably my ds and 3ds im used to the small screens. the only problem i have is if i get drift its not easy to fix and i cant play every game like super mario party or switch sports but i still have my switch anyways so im gonna keep that for my tv

I recently purchased the OLED model for Christmas and it is an impressive system. My only caveat is I wished Nintendo would have upgraded the hardware and increased the resolution for it. Mainly the flagship games look great with its deeper contrasts and vibrant colors like Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Zelda, Metroid Dead, and etc. I know most Switch games run at a native 720p but that extra resolution and hardware bump would have been amazing. Playing Monster Hunter Rise in 60fps on OLED would have been the chefs kiss.

Nice video easy to understand

I got my switch oled today. And your right it is a very amazing console. I never had the original switch but I do own the lite. So I upgraded the lite to oled. So it's a big upgrade for me. I'm loving this Oled

I had a switch lite but I sold it recently so now I'm saving for a regular switch. The OLED shell color looks nice but it's way too expensive!

EXCELLENT explanation mate! You've answered most of our doubts. One question: in future, might switch release other updated versions (if yes, what might it be) or a new different console? Thx :)

Omg the dog Laying down while the video is being recorded is so cute

This is the most complete guide i ever see for a new nintendo switch user, nice work bro.

I bought an OLED about almost a month ago. It's my first Switch and everyone told me that if that was my case (and I could use the TV on my father's house as I wanted), the OLED was perfect for me. As I said, I have it for almost a month, and in all this time I only used the Dock for charging! I only have small games/musical games yet (the bigger one is Ni No Kuni, and I only own it for four days...), so the TV mode is almost too much. I probably going to play on TV mode when I get the big names, as the BOTW or Mario Kart and such (when I have the money for a 60€ game XD). But for cozyness and a nice, fun short game session on the train, it works for me. And also love the white colours and the screen. I think anime games such as the Taiko and Ni No Kuni look beautiful with the higher contrast.

I have the 2017 switch and I'm planning on upgrading to the OLED man I can't wait.

This was an amazing breakdown Thanks a lot it really came down to the Lite and The OLED for me

This was a really helpful video. I have the lite but I’ve been looking to upgrade, so thank you 😊

I'm thinking of getting the Switch lite this year. I have small hands and even struggle with big phones, so it seems more user friendly and in my budget at the moment. I think I'll hold back on buying the Switch or the OLED until I can afford to, plus a newer model may come out soon.

I've been needing a video like this to help me with my decision Cause for me the V2 switch and OLED have that $80 difference but the special edition Animal Crossing switch comes with the game for only an extra $40 so I've been so conflicted on getting that or just buying the OLED and waiting a bit to save and buy Animal Crossing later along with other games on the best looking system as I plan to play with a combination of handheld & TV mode I think I'll go with the OLED but I'm still not that sure, I'll wait till black Friday and see if there's a deal for it and if not I might pick it anyway But thx for this video cause I think it really helped my decision 👍

Very helpful video. Thank you.

for me personally im not upgrading i have a launch switch and with battery pack with the same type of kickstand as the oled im not really missing out on much tbh. also i have modded my console for themes and to run android on it so i can stream my ps4 games to my switch and i don't want to miss out on them features, i will be investing in the new dock though

This is the best way to help consumers make a decision. Great presentation dude.

I only just realized that you only have few subscribers but your video quality, editing and overall vibe of the video is amazing. Keep it going and you will be big.

This video really helped my decision on what nintendo switch to buy!!! I've purchased the 2020 version of the original nintendo switch (the one that has the longer battery life) and I am very happy with it! I love playing both hand held and using the TV! I didn't get the oled version because I wanted to save money lol. But yeah thanks for your advice!

I have the switch v2 from 2020 and I love it! going to upgrade when the switch 2 comes out!

I like the Switch Lite especially for the D pad. Just wish I could see one in person. I've never seen one at any store on display...

Got my first switch for Christmas, we got the normal one. We got it on a special deal with Mario Kart for just over 200 meaning it was way way cheaper than the OLED for us. Personally we don't use it much handheld, only really if we are travelling so the better screen doesn't really make a difference to us. Waited all these years to own ANY switch so I am so happy with the normal one. OLED is properly worth it if you don't get the normal at a special price but anywise I don't think the better screen is worth it for how much more it is. But I don't think you can go wrong with any switch, it quickly became my favorite console. As for battery on the original, as of today it hasn't died yet and this is with me and my brother taking it in turn to play for hours at a time, so I wouldn't notice the better battery.

Ty so much bro

Thank for the video Ive been struggling on which one to get, I'll be going for the lite version for its affordability and also because I'm mainly a pc gamer

I also feel that the d pad is an added bonus on the lite

+ $50 for better contrast? No thank you.

ur dog is soooo cute! and i really didnt know what to get so i got the normal gen2 and the oled. i really like both of them and can customise then accordingly!

This was so helpful. Thank you!

also consider multiplayer. I mostly play in handheld, but on the go multiplayer important to me so i got the normal switch

i kinda want the oled but the only problem for me is the price, i had an og switch and a lite but my og’s screen doesn’t work when off the dock and i prefer playing in handheld mode anyway. And i want to upgrade my lite so i hope to get the oled sometime

ty so much you helped me get one i got the switch v2

i have a Blue( not turquoise) switch lite and I love it. I didn't need a new console that works with the TV as I have a PS4, however ai wanted aswitch lite for a long time, but wasn't fan of the colours that were available for various reasons. When the Blue version was announced I was extatic as it looked incredible

I love the lite but you really feel the impact of the small screen on open world games like the witcher 3. On most games it's great though

It’s insane how small the screen is on the lite

I have a lite and i enjoy playing with it Extremely comfortable

Nice flowchart my boi i got all 3 and 3 more in my collection

Also, if you're looking to purchase a lot of accessories, there's a lot more for the classic Switch than there is for the OLED atm.

I got the V2 switch back in September 2021 and honestly I say it’s still worth it in 2022. I mainly play handheld and play on tv here and there. If you want a switch for both modes but don’t want to pay the extra money for the OLED the Og switch is the best option.

good video, really helped me decide which to purchase for my little Prince

I pre ordered my og switch, it’s still great as we are coming to the 6th year of its life, I have completed 2 Pokémon games, became very very very good at mario kart and got on the world leaderboards, all this and more on my og Nintendo switch from 6 years ago.

I bought the original Switch a few months before the OLED got released and I don't regret it nor do I plan to upgrade. The OLED looks nice but the quality of the OG switch is enough for me. I don't need an ALAN port and I don't use Bluetooth headphones so I don't care about that either. If I bought a Switch later, I probably would have chosen the OLED because $80 in that price range is not too much of an upgrade but since I already have the OG, I don't feel the need to upgrade for features I don't really care about

One thing i will say is that you can get a lan adaptor for the original nintendo switch dock, and i saw a video on it that confirmed the speed of the connection was the same whether it was the oled dock or the regular dock with the adaptor. considering you can find this adaptor for like 20 bucks, id have to recommend the regula rmodel to people who only wish to play competitively.

I just got the Nintendo switch oled and I’m in love. I’m playing games with no ads or nothing. I’m not a pc gamer but I played PlayStation before with my nephews and I’m very happy that I can play my favorite games with a smaller thing that fits in my purse

I got switch lite and I love it as I do play exclusively in handheld, but I’m really missing out on ringfit and the switch sports when that comes out

I guess I'm going to go with the OLED model sounds like its worth it. I do want to play handheld and on the tv both and I like the bigger screen and longer battery life than the light version. Also the kickstand will probably come in handy. The only thing is I wish it came in pretty different colors besides just black and white.

Take the regular switch, It's handheld you can play mario party in it without using another controller or joy cons you can play it as a tv console on your home and it has the same specs as the oled and lite. *IT'S PERFECTLY BALANCED AS ALL THINGS SHOULD BE*

Absolutel fantastic review!

Switch lite is my current daily driver. Between the kids we have two switch consoles one OLED and another is red box, but since I’m constantly on the go out away from home I took the lite. Very comfortable and much more durable, smaller for better travel and portability as well. And if I ever want to play on a tv we have switched for that but I support the lite completely

I got Nintendo Switch Lite and I like to play Arcade Archives: Track & Field on Nintendo Switch Lite.

The white OLED model looks dope.

This is the best comparison I’ve seen good work.

I personally think the Switch lite is the best out of the 3. The only reason I'd upgrade is if they had a faster processor.

I already have a gaming pc I just needed a device to play my games on the go the switch lite was perfect for me.

I feel like mentioning that the really old Switches do run hotter, from experience. I recently upgraded from an early 2017 Switch to an OLED Switch and the biggest difference I noticed in docked was fan speed. My old one I was constantly worried about thermal throttling, my new one I worry about it freezing.

I bought the Nintendo switch lite a couple years ago and I love it. Within 24 hours of me getting it two of my friends bought one. They love theirs just as much as I love mine. I use mine like crazy. My switch battery lasts for six hours.

But the real question is would you rather pay more for a switch or buy a next gen console

I'm getting a switch lite on Christmas 🎄 yay

I play with the switch lite because personally most games look really bad on tv mode, so I only play handheld. The flat back is a little uncommon so I got a case that kinda gives grips and its wonderful

I remember wanting to buy a switch since it came out, I saved my own money for this and it took me 3 years to get 200$ saved for the switch, I just gave up on buying a switch and then the lite got launched,so I bought this model and it was the best thing I ever did with my money

I think the best switch as a portable console is the switch lite, lighter easy to carry and with an amazing d pad, the 2019 model is better as a hybrid console and more reliable than the oled just for being lcd, imo oled is good but not that good, i preffer the lite honestly but i have the normal 2017 switch

Agree with your assessment. I think the only way that Nintendo could have offered more resolution was also a bump in the CPU/GPU. That probably would have resulted in a device about $120 more than the OG model. Most likely a 2023 model will have overall better specs.

Ever since the oled version, I can't help but notice the thick black part covering the screen of my switch

so useful👍

I've had the opportunity to use all three consoles and here's my pitch: 1) Switch OLED is the best option as it has the most benefits with more oversized buttons and a better stand. The only downside is that the storage on this console isn't really any better than the other two but that can be easily resolved if you have an SD card or some external hard drive. 2) The OG Switch is the option that I think is the only thing you should be getting if you can't afford the OLED. For a $50 difference, I'd still recommend the OLED model. 3) The Lite model is what I would only give to kids or children because for anyone in an older class, I don't think it's the way to go. Less battery time, no TV Play, smaller buttons, no stand, etc. I guess the only good thing about this model is the joy-cons that you'll never lose but even that has its downsides. It's not uncommon to buy new joycons. If you're looking to play on the road or on the go, mostly by yourself and not really with others, just buy the Switch Lite. If you love multiplayer and do consider playing with friends, especially at home, get the OLED model. If you can't afford the OLED, the regular Switch model works just as well.

Really helpful video, thanks.

i personally prefer the og model bc the colours of the joy cons do look really good and is good for portability and for just using it on a monitor. like i can literally fit this whole thing inside of my pocket

i know i'm super late, and i know that someone else has probably said this, but the newer switches actually do have a different nvidia tegra chip in them. the og switch has the x1 and the newer ones have the x1+ with the only real difference being the power efficiency (so therefore battery life)

I can't wait to play the GTA trilogy on my new OLED

I'm debating on which version to get as I havn't owned a switch yet. 🤔 quite the decision to make? Update! Decided on the Switch Lite and loving it ❤ 😍

You had me at flow chart.

i swapped my lite for an oled and im so happy with it!! the longer battery life alone made it worth it for me

I would have bought a Lite on day one if it could be docked, I love the size and love how its all one solid unit but the fact that it cant actually "switch" is baffling, its legit just as simple as giving it HDMI out support
