New Nintendo Switch OLED Model Announced

There is a new Nintendo Switch model coming out this year. The new Nintendo Switch OLED model comes out October 8th, 2021 and it features various upgrades from it’s last generation. Let’s discuss what is new in the New Nintendo Switch OLED.

Nintendo Switch OLED, What’s New?

The Nintendo Switch OLED model has various changes to the old Nintendo Switch.

• 7 inch OLED screen
• An adjustable wide stand
• a built in wired LAN port
• 64 GB of internal storage
• Enhanced audio

Those are the new features of the Nintendo Switch OLED model, the OLED screen being the most exciting change in my opinion. Now, people must be wondering… does the Nintendo Switch OLED have 4K resolution? Well, it turns out, this Nintendo Switch OLED model only goes up to 1080p as you can see in the Nintendo Switch OLED technical specs below:

How Much is the Nintendo Switch OLED?

There are 2 options available for the Nintendo Switch OLED. One has a white dock with white Joycons and the other version has a black dock with Neon blue and Neon red Joycons. If you’re wondering how much it costs to buy a Nintendo Switch OLED, well, the price of the Nintendo Switch OLED is $349.99.

Other Nintendo Switch OLED Information

The Nintendo Switch OLED model is compatible with all the current Joycons, so if you have a Joycon collection, you can use those on the new OLED model. All Nintendo Switch games are also compatible with the OLED model; no need to worry about games not working properly. That’s good news for Nintendo Switch collectors out there who have tons of games, like JP’S SWITCHMANIA (give him a follow and tell him PAB Games sent you).

New Nintendo Switch Games on New Hardware

After the launch of Nintendo Switch OLED in October of this year, gamers will be playing new Nintendo Switch games on new hardware. We have tons of new games coming out, Metroid Dread, Warioware, Shin Megami Tensai V, Danganronpa Despair, Advance Wars and a new Mario Party. Not to mention the Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild Sequel coming out in 2022.

Final Thoughts on the New Nintendo Switch OLED

Well the new Nintendo Switch OLED console has a better screen for those that play the Switch in handheld mode but other than that, there aren’t many improvements. The adjustable stand is not a huge change that people really want. The performance of the New Nintendo Switch OLED is practically the same as the current Nintendo Switch. I think I’d be happier with a 4K Nintendo Switch model and one that has a bit more power. We will have to wait, but with that being said, I think that I’d still get the Nintendo Switch OLED to experience that screen for myself. It will probably look fantastic!
