This edition of the Nintendo Switch OLED comes with a pair of white Joy-Con Controllers, matching white wrist straps, a black Joy-Con grip, and the upgraded dock set with an HDMI cable and AC adapter. The Switch OLED, as the name suggests, still has one thing going for it that is objectively better than the Switch 2: OLED. The 7-inch OLED panel produces a more vibrant color range with deeper blacks and better contrast.
If you want a Nintendo console in 2025, the Switch 2 is clearly the better choice, especially when thinking about the next few years. That said, if you don’t want to spend $450-$500, the new Nintendo console owners will have enough games to keep them busy for years to come. The Switch library is arguably the best in Nintendo’s storied history, and if you want to play in handheld mode, the Switch OLED’s screen is markedly better than the regular Switch’s 6.2-inch LCD display or the Switch Lite’s 5.5-inch display.
At $299, the Switch OLED is selling for the regular Switch’s old MSRP. The regular Switch now costs $340, while the Switch Lite jumped from $200 to $230.
