Nintendo Gaming / Switch 2 or OLED
« on: Today at 05:38:40 AM »
Hey everyone, I'm Matthew. I've been using the original Nintendo Switch since around 2019, and it's been my main console for years. I've played a ridiculous amount of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, and Splatoon 3 on it, so I've definitely gotten my money's worth.
Lately, though, I've started thinking seriously about upgrading. The main thing that pushed me toward it was playing Tears of the Kingdom again recently. When I'm exploring larger areas or moving quickly between locations, I've noticed the occasional slowdown, and my old Switch's battery also doesn't last nearly as long as it used to. I had one session where I was halfway through a shrine hunt and got the low-battery warning much earlier than expected.
I'm now stuck between getting a Switch OLED or going for the newer Switch 2. The OLED is obviously cheaper and would give me a much nicer screen, especially since I play handheld a lot, but I'm wondering if I'd regret not just spending more on the Switch 2.
For anyone who's made the jump, what would you recommend? Is the Switch 2 worth the extra money if my main games are Zelda, Mario Kart, and Splatoon, or would the OLED still be a good upgrade from the original Switch?
