Is this a good time to upgrade my Switch V1 to an OLED now, or should I wait for the potential release of the Switch 2 later this year?

 

Every year we only have speculation of new Ninty console. Switch has a massive pool of amazing first party games which can keep you busy for years (many news ones releasing soon). Will recommend getting OLED unless you're in no hurry to get the console - then likely wait for Q4, with prices being inflated since Ninty will cater to holiday rush in western markets.

Don't upgrade right now, especially since you already have a Switch. Next gen model will for sure release this year. Even if you don't want to get that, it would lead to some sales on OLED model.

Switch 2 might not even be backwards compatible. If you play handheld mostly get an Oled. 

 

There is absolutely no way it won't be backward compatible.

As much as I want that, I'm not so sure of it. And with devices like the MIG Switch available in the market it seems unlikely.

I don’t think it makes any remote sense in today’s times to not have your system compatible with immediate old titles.

 

I don’t think any of the hardware makers are immature enough to do something like that.

New Nintendo Direct confirmed for Feb 21, 2024 6 am PT (Appx. 7:30 pm IST I think). This will be 25 minutes long and will focus on games releasing on 1st half of 2024. It's a partner showcase so it'll mostly focus on 3rd party games coming to the Switch.

 

 

 

There will also be a Pokemon Showcase on 27th Feb, 2024 at 6 am PT (appx. 7:30 pm IST I think) on Pokemon Day (The day Gen 1 Pokemon Games first released back in 1996)

 

 

So 2 directs this week! Hopefully it'll have good announcements!

Playing Metroid Dread

 

Flash Shift ability is fking epic

The whole game is EPIC.

 

Sad that we get 3D Metroid games more which doesn't look close to fun as 2D ones. 

 

Really wanted something like Dread.

I had Switch V1 in past, now considering getting a LITE since i mostly only wanna play handheld. Is it a good choice? Because the screen of v1 sucked really bad cause eye strain at times.. is lite screen equally bad ? 

 

Same resolution, but higher ppi due to smaller size. Why did the v1 cause eye strain? If it is because of small text, then lite will only make it worse.

No difference between lite and V1. You can get second hand OLED too if you want. Switch systems are built tough. Hardly see any bricked ones.

Not sure..maybe because I'm used to amoled phones since like 2016, not interested in oled switch because feel it bit bulky

Looks disappointing. Putting analog stick exactly below main buttons is a disaster. All major handhelds and premium joysticks provide it slightly to the right side. 

 

My thumb hurts a lot. Also, it needs some kind of grip, not too much that it becomes non portable in a bag, but not flat like current one.

Take all of this with a massive pile of salt.
