TL;DR The new Nintendo Switch model, often referred to as the OLED Model, features a larger and more vibrant display, enhanced audio, and improved storage capacity compared to its predecessors.
Display and Audio Enhancements
The most notable upgrade in the new Nintendo Switch is the 7-inch OLED screen, which offers richer colors and higher contrast than the previous LCD screens. This improvement provides a more immersive gaming experience, especially for handheld play. Additionally, the new model includes enhanced audio capabilities, improving sound quality when playing in handheld or tabletop modes.
Storage and Design Improvements
The new Nintendo Switch OLED model comes with 64GB of internal storage, doubling the capacity of earlier models, allowing for more games and data to be stored directly on the device. The design has also been refined with a wider adjustable stand for tabletop mode, providing more stability and flexibility in viewing angles.
Dock and Connectivity
The updated dock now includes a wired LAN port, which facilitates a more stable internet connection during online play, addressing one of the common complaints from users of previous models. This addition is particularly beneficial for competitive and multiplayer games where connectivity can impact performance.
Overall Performance
While the core processing power and battery life remain similar to the original models, the enhancements in display, audio, and storage make the new Nintendo Switch OLED model a more attractive option for both new buyers and those looking to upgrade their current systems. These improvements cater to players who prioritize portable gaming and multimedia experiences.
just correcting it because I see it in the post: Apple doesn’t “un-sign” macOS like it does iOS - they may check if it’s latest if you clean install but that’s a startup security setting that can be changed.
Meaning that if you really wanted to for some reason, you could throw Monterey on a USB and install that instead.
Of course when enough years have passed, the certificate used to sign the installer may expire but that can just be bypassed by changing the date.
i have too much fomo
I’m new to Mac so I switched to Tahoe when I got the chance. Still, I found Sequoia to be very nice while I was using it. Maybe one day Tahoe will be my new old that I stick to for an extra year
Hello, I have a few switch systems up for trade for either other switch systems or a Nintendo ‘new’ 3DS, Nintendo 2DS XL, or a GameBoy Micro. I’m willing to add some PayPal to make-up any difference or outright buy an item (I’m only willing to outright buy the Gameboy Micro). If you need more pictures let me know. The Switch Systems are in excellent condition. Pics
Please comment here first before sending a PM, otherwise I won’t respond.
Hi just curious if you'd be willing to sell the switch lite outright? Price?
I mean maybe, I mostly want to use it in some sort of trade for a Gameboy micro or the Zelda switch lite but I might be tempted to sell it. I’m not sure how much to sell it for. It is the Japanese version switch lite, but is basically the same as the US version.

Enter the realm of stereoscopic 3D with this Virtual Boy dedicated accessory for Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch!
Experience Virtual Boy with this add-on accessory that is a replica of the original hardware. Simply insert your Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch system (each sold separately) into the accessory and get ready to play classic Virtual Boy titles like Teleroboxer, and Galactic Pinball! Additional titles will be added in the future.
This product can be purchased by those who have a paid Nintendo Switch Online membership. To play games in the Virtual Boy - Nintendo Classics, you will need an active Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership. The Nintendo Switch Lite is not compatible.
USD, CAD or AUD?
Should be in the title, Reddit is an international platform.
This is awesome .. I definitely plan on buying this ..
A Virtual Boy classic with controller would have been more appealing.
But is it headache inducing
Yea, I'm still recovering from the headache I got playing this at Best Buy 30 years ago lol
This is so stupid. Let's sell you a $100 accessory for your Nintendo switch but we will not allow you to own the games.
I have a Switch 2 and do not regret it at all but I gotta say I completely don't understand the sales of this.
The system has almost no Switch 2 exclusive games worth anything (literally what... maybe 5?). I can see buying it but surpassing the Switch already is nuts!
It's backwards compatible. I bought one and only have Donkey Kong but still bought it because I had SW1 games to play.
The reason I got mine was because Splatoon is one of my favorite games and they announced the new Splatoon game so I figured might as well get it anyway since I will be when the game comes out.
But so many people buying it for one or two exclusive games seems crazy to me. I'm wondering if it really is just people buying something shiny and new.
I’ve had numerous conversations with people regarding videogames, just during small talk, where I ask them about what they own and play. A lot of the time, there are just people who own a PS5 or Xbox and only play Madden, FIFA, and Call of Duty. Like that’s it. That’s all they play.
It seems like a lot of people out there don’t need more than 5 exclusives to warrant buying a console.
Mario Kart is such a universally loved game. I know people that rarely play any games, but are always down for Mario Kart. Shit, my boomer aunts owns a switch solely for Mario Kart 8 and Animal Crossing. She doesn’t even care about anything else, and just plays it here and there in her free time.
Another factor is that the Switch is a huge selling point for children. A lot of kids were probably hyped for the Switch 2, more than PS5 or Xbox. I’m talking ages 7-12 and stuff. The market for the switch allows it to sell more. It’s more casual and less hardcore. A parent is more likely convinced to get their kid the Switch 2 than the PS5 or Xbox.
Gaming is becoming increasingly more popular than it ever was. Increasingly more acceptable in society. Kids are adapting way more to electronics than ever before. There’s a reason why the Switch 2 sells more than the Steam deck. Think about it. What are some of the most popular films of the last few years? Sonic and Mario? Minecraft? When a parent sees those games on the switch, are they buying their kid that or a Steam Deck/ PlayStation?
Next time you’re out, go to a Target or Walmart electronics section, and see the difference between the Nintendo aisle and the Xbox/Sony aisle.
By the end of the year the Switch 2's sales in the US alone might surpass the entire lifetime sales of the PC handheld market. Hopefully, people will stop acting like the Steam Deck is actual competition to the Switch
It surpassed Steam Deck on launch day.
It didn't actually. Steam deck has sold 4 million units. Or do you mean the switch 2 had a bigger launch?
PC handhelds were always an enthusiast product so it's always been bizarre to see people discuss items that move in the hundred thousands vs ones that move in millions. They don't advertise on TV like a mainline console, the form factor always existed but the Switch took up it's space in public awareness. It simply never operated on that level.
It's probably safe to assume Nintendo will try to have 1 big exclusive per month, maybe 2 if one is also on the og switch
Same boat here.
I feel like there’s such a desire to make discourse all or nothing.
The Switch 2 can be financially very successful, and the criticisms many folks had can also be valid.
Didn’t buy one, don’t care about those who did. But this need to make is an abject failure or an overwhelming success with nothing in between is weird.
There was a thread where an ex Sony CEO or something said "Nintendo is the only console company really in touch with what their fans wanf". Every comment was like "wow complete bullshit" because in the little reddit echo chamber they only ever see each other hating on Nintendo, but in the real world Nintendo has a complete monopoly on family friendly consoles, and portable gaming that just works without having to tinker. And both of those markets are fucking huge, hence the record breaking sales.
Ironically people who don’t complain about pricing are probably more reactive to it. Casual guy who just wants to chill after work with a game, parents, folks who just wanted something to do on the bus, etc… The switch 1 was inexpensive enough to be attractive to them but they aren’t going to be online complaining about Nintendo.
I suspect sales are currently very heavy on the core Switch fan base which is also the group most likely to bitch.
I’m glad it is doing well but how it is trending to Switch 1 will be irrelevant when it gets to the Switch 1 covid bump in March/April 2020. There is no way Switch 2 stays above the Switch 1 sales trend once the timeline gets to that point.
It won’t sell more than the original Switch but I highly doubt even Nintendo think it will either.
It’ll do well enough
Considering Trump is currently trying to pull the COVID vaccine, maybe there will be another pandemic boost for the Switch 2 /despair
It's good that it's keeping a high pace. I don't think anyone expects it to outsell the Switch 1 in lifetime sales.
There is zero chance that Nintendo expects Switch 2 lifetime sales to ever pass Switch 1 lifetime.
Life to date really makes it seem like it's been longer than two and a half months. As long as they keep stock up for Christmas (and the orange man doesn't do anything too silly) then it should easily pull away from Switch considering the availability issues back then.
I know people feel frustrated with the release schedule, but for me I’ve played such a deluge of games that it feels like a year already. I’ve easily played more Switch 2 games than the last 2 years of Switch 1.
I swear switch 2 haters are living in another reality. Watch them spin this negatively 🤣
"there's so many switch 2s being sold but where are all the s2 games?"
I could 100% see that being the complaint lol. Personally love mine and it's getting more use than my PS5 and Xbox
Mostly because they have the supply this time around. I didn't see a Switch in the wild until Splatoon 2 came out.
Yes. The prices on all consoles were increased by $50.
It’s kind of crazy how the deluge of negativity everywhere can influence your perception of things. I wouldn’t have thought it was doing this much better than the Switch 1 launch given all of the hate that’s everywhere online.
Nintendo has provided update sales figures for the original Nintendo Switch system revealing that the brilliant little system has shifted over 153.10 million units since it launched March 2017 worldwide. It has achieved this figure without having an official price cut, which is astounding. The console needs to sell less than a million units before it outsells the Nintendo DS. The biggest goal is surpassing Sony's popular PlayStation 2 console... goal that should be reached within the year 2026.
Ugh, we’re gonna be getting Switch 1 releases for another 5 years. It will hold back the Switch 2 development.
The two are unrelated. It's simply more difficult to develop for Switch 2, it takes longer because assets are more and of higher quality, that is the problem with modern platforms. Actually, having games released for Switch let Switch 2 owners play with more games and on proper Game Cards instead of empty Game-Key Cards.
As it relates to the development of Switch 2 games being more difficult due to increased quality and more detailed assets, Nintendo’s own release schedule determined that that is a lie in the case of first parties). They have enough games slated for this year to carry on the 1 game per month release cadence they have held since the beginning of the Switch 1 generation, and they likely have plenty of titles to fill out a full release calendar for 2026 as well.
Now, 3rd parties are happy to use that excuse as much as they want, but we all know that there still aren’t many Switch 2 dev kits for third parties so that is significantly slowing down the rate of games coming out on the Switch 2 exclusivity or older games getting updated for the Switch.
I feel like every game developer has figured out how to both consoles and do it pretty well. The PS five was our test dummy everyone else benefits.
I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're trying to say.
This just in PS2 cracked 200 million because they forgot to include Brazil post life sales/s
KING OF CONSOLE SALES!
Some will say "oh but PS2"
PS2's record should have an asterisk as it was being produced for 12 years. from 2000 to 2012. even with the ps3 out they were making ps2's
many people bought PS2 for a DVD player and never bought a game. Remember how much money dvd players were.
Switch did basically the same number in only 8 years and 1 generation.

Recommendation: If you're considering purchasing a Nintendo Switch, think about how you plan to use it. If you want to play on the go, the standard model is great. However, if you're looking for enhanced graphics and performance, consider the Nintendo Switch OLED model, which features a larger, more vibrant display and improved audio.
